Crews continue to paint the new DVC tower at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, which is scheduled to open this year.

Polynesian DVC Tower Construction

On the lagoon side of the tower, crews have painted more of the walls on the north wing and begun to paint the south wing. The north wing is surrounded by scaffolding. It’s been several weeks since it was painted with white primer.

The north end facing Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa is now dark brown. A tall section on the other side of the tower has been painted a lighter tan color.

Many of the balcony walls have been painted light brown or tan. Some are still white while other areas haven’t received primer or paint.

Some light tan paint has been added to a structure on the top of the center of the building. Some of the balcony walls have been painted a yellow-ish color.

The south wing, facing the Grand Ceremonial House, now has a shade of light tan paint across most of it. Crew members in a cherry picker were working near a column on the top floor. The balcony doors are covered in plastic tarps to protect them from paint.

There was also some light tan paint on the side of the building facing away from the lagoon. Painting moved to that side just a few weeks ago.

The tower is located on the edge of Seven Seas Lagoon, where Luau Cove and the Spirit of Aloha dinner show used to be. It’s next to the Fiji and Tuvalu buildings of the resort.

Crews are also working on a new pool for the tower on the south side. Concrete was poured for the pool last month.

We saw some crew members working in the empty pool during our recent visit.

Through an opening in the building, we saw a row of ducts staged for installation behind scaffolding.

Another area of dirt has been carved near the pool. Wood walls create a circle in the ground.

Crew members were also working in this excavated area. This could be a hot tub or other water feature.

Crew members in two cherry pickers were installing new metal pieces on the top center of the building, a floor lower than the wing-shaped piece previously installed. A matching wing-shaped awning is on the other side of the building, with sheeting across it.

Over a dozen triangular pieces have been installed in a row. Two more are further down the wall, lined up with two of the columns sticking up from the floor below.

There are supports in place for more of these triangular pieces. A cord of some kind hung down from the piece on the left.

It looks like this will be a decorative overhang roof for the top floor balconies.

A completed row of these steel triangles is on the other side of the center of the building. Some steel sheathing has been placed on the edge of these triangles.

Steel sheathing also covers part of the framework of this structure attached to the first floor. This looks like it will be a restaurant looking out at the lagoon. The sheathing is over a circular roof at the corner and a long awning to the right.

Several white poles stick out of the ground inside the potential restaurant. Concrete has not been poured into the space yet.
