Disney World has been a constant hive of activity for a while now.

We’ve seen attractions open, a bunch of major park expansions coming over the next few years, and even new hotel additions. So, needless to say, there are a whole host of things to look forward to on your next trip to Disney World. Speaking of something to look forward to, if you’re going to be staying at a Disney World hotel in December, you’re in luck because there are 3 hotels that will have brand new rooms you can stay in!

Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort

Our first on this list is one that doesn’t just have a couple of renovated room. Oh, no, no, no. This one has a whole brand-new tower that just popped up out of the ground!

What we’re talking about is how construction has going on for a while at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort because they’re about to open The Island Tower at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort Villas and Bungalows!

This new section of Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort is opening on December 17th, 2024! It will be the tallest addition for the hotel to date (10-stories). 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! Even though it’s a Disney Vacation Club property, anyone is invited to book a reservation here.

We really can’t wait to see everything this new addition has to offer. For instance, getting to watch the Happily Ever After fireworks from there is going to be simply unbelievable!

In the meantime, Disney shared a full-on interactive tour of one of their two-bedroom suites that you can check out!

Disney’s Port Orleans Resort — French Quarter

Next up, let’s hitch a ride down to Disney’s Port Orleans Resort — French Quarter because it has been undergoing it’s own refurb!

The room refurbishments here have been going on since May, and we’ve slowly seen the new rooms open back up to guests. Specifically, the room refurbishments have already been completed in Buildings 1 and 2. To be sure, there’s no guarantee you’ll get an updated room if you’re staying at this hotel in December, but there is that possibility.

We recently hit the jackpot and stayed in one of the refurbished rooms recently, and we really enjoyed the changes!

The beds have a brand-new pattern above them that is stunning, and we can’t get over the green color (it’s so calming). If you look closely, the pattern features instruments such as drums and a trumpet. The throw pillow adds the perfect pop of color, and the rest of the room matches!

As we were saying, if you come in December, you might get the chance to stay in one of these refurbished rooms. In the meantime, check out our full tour!

Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin

Lastly, if you’re wanting to stay in the EPCOT resort area, you seriously need to check out The Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin hotels. You’ll find them between the Yacht Club and the BoardWalk. Fun fact, these hotels are owned by Marriott, and they get many of the same perks that Disney World’s Deluxe Resorts get. You can use and earn Marriott hotel points here!

Now about the rooms, they’ve been remodeling the guest rooms in the Walt Disney World Swan. You can see in the picture they shared that the rooms will be featuring luxury tile flooring and other new style choices.

They say that all the room renovations will be completed in 2024, and with only the rest of November and December left in the year, it’s a pretty safe assumption to make that should you be coming in December, you’ll be among the first to experience these newly remodeled rooms.

OPENING TIMELINES Announced for NEW Disney World Swan and Dolphin Hotel Expansion
