A NEW Disney hotel is on its way and it’ll be opening sooner than you might expect.

Over on the west coast, NEW Disney Vacation Club Villas are opening at the Disneyland Hotel. The new DVC tower will open officially on September 28th, 2023. We’ve already shared a first look at some of the rooms, details about when bookings opened, and more. But now we have another update.

Disney recently shared a NEW LOOK at a special part of the resort that will be opening on September 28th, 2023 — the POOL! Starting on September 28th, those staying at The Villas at Disneyland Hotel will be able to access the new Palette Pool area.

That pool area will include the Palette Pool itself, the Palm Breeze Bar, and a splash pad themed to the Steamboat Willie short, which really helped kick off Mickey Mouse’s journey to becoming the international icon he is today. Disney has shared a new look at this splash pad.

There will be a “large grayscale model inspired by the boat in ‘Steamboat Willie’” with Mickey Mouse at the helm (of course). Around it will be various water play features including a waterfall right on the boat, fog effects, pop jets, and fountains.

And while it looks fun enough in black and white, after the sun sets things will get even more interesting as the splash pad “transforms from black and white to vivid colors with the help of some artistic lighting.”

In addition to the splash pad, this area will have the Palette Pool which will be shaped like…you guessed it — a palette. There will also be multicolored lounge areas to relax on.

Need something to drink? Head to the Palm Breeze Bar. That’s where you’ll find decor inspired by Disney Legend, Mary Blair (whose work you’ll recognize from “it’s a small world” and more).

The Villas at Disneyland Hotel will have rooms themed to different Disney classics like “The Jungle Book,” “Sleeping Beauty,” “The Princess and the Frog,” “Fantasia” and more. It’ll officially open to the public on September 28th, 2023 and reservations are already available.

Additionally, Disney points out — “Disney Vacation Club sales for The Villas at Disneyland Hotel are available for all existing members and open to the public on May 30.”

We’ll continue to look for more details and updates about this hotel and let you know what we find!
