With just over three months until opening, crews are adding the final details to Disney Vacation Club’s new Island Tower at Disney’s Polynesian Villas & Bungalows.

Construction of Island Tower at Disney’s Polynesian Resort

A construction site with equipment and materials is situated near a parking lot and palm trees. Several tents and vehicles are present, and a partially cloudy sky is visible.
