With just over a month until Disney Vacation Club’s Island Tower at Disney’s Polynesian Villas & Bungalows opens, crews are adding final details to the building.
Island Tower Construction
We previously shared that a turtle mural on the south end of the building was complete. There is still plywood around the balconies at this end. Work has begun on another mural on the other side of this wing.
The second mural features tribal designs similar to those of the turtle mural. It covers the cream-colored wall above a brown stripe on the building. The mural might eventually continue below the stripe.
Crew members were working on top of the tower’s port-cochere. Since our last update, the overhang’s steel framework has been covered with protective GlassRoc sheathing. The support columns have been covered with their final yellow panels. Holes on the fronts of the columns might be for lights.
The final few balcony railings are being installed. The most recent installations are covered in plywood. Some balcony railings are plain glass in black frames while others have reddish-brown designs.
A DVC docuseries recently revealed more details about the Island Tower’s artwork. It will have a Moana splash pad at its pool, terrace gardens, and a restaurant (Wailulu Bar & Grill). The tower is projected to open on December 17.
