Get ready because something BIG is on the horizon at Disney World!

We’ve been tracking the progress of the latest expansion to Disney World hotel offerings and the Disney Vacation Club community for months. Our excitement grew even more when Disney gave us a sneak peek at what these rooms will look like inside and they’ve already announced when this new addition will officially open! However, one big question we were left with was WHEN current and potential DVC members would be able to purchase and book this new tower addition and it seems as if finally have some answers!

The Island Tower at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort Villas and Bungalows will be the latest in Disney World to join the DVC line of hotels. Ever since the first concepts of the plans for this new tower addition were rolled out, we’ve been excitedly tracking its construction progress looking for any details we could find! Now that the construction is beginning to wind down, Disney’s released more information on burning questions we still had left unanswered about when we will be able to visit this new hotel expansion.

The new tower will sit adjacent to the current buildings for Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, however, it will certainly be the tallest addition for the hotel to date. Its rooms will be filled with hidden details (and Mickeys), beautiful flowing decor, and calming neutral and blue hues inspired by the South Pacific Islands! If you’re looking to claim this as your next vacation home when visiting Disney World, the first day of the tower’s opening will be December 17th, 2024.

Although Disney already gave us a peek into what we can expect to see inside each of the rooms, we had yet to learn when current and potential DVC members will be able to purchase contracts for the new tower and use their vacation points to book their first stay here — until now.

Disney has just announced the timeline of when these purchases and bookings will begin — let’s break it down together! Sales for contracts to current Disney Vacation Club members will begin starting October 1st. Starting October 15th, Disney Vacation Club current owners with existing and active contracts at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort Villas and Bungalows AND those who have added-on a contract for this hotel will be able to use their DVC points to book. October 29th is when the public will be able to book these new rooms. New DVC members at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resorts Villas & Bungalows will be able to book with their points starting November 5th, followed by all current DVC members open to booking with their DVC points as of November 19th.

Disney has released the points chart for the Island Tower as well, which you can check out below!

We’re really excited to book our first stay here and take a look at all this new addition has to offer to the Seven Seas Lagoon hotels, and check out the Happily Ever After fireworks from its surely stunning views! Be sure to stay tuned with us at DFB as we bring you along for its opening day and for all the latest Disney World news and more.
