Disney Vacation Club has today announced proposed plans to develop new Disney Vacation Club villas at Disney's Polynesian Village Resort.

The new tower will be built on the site of the former Spirit of Aloha Dinner show at the Luau Cove with a planned opening in 2024.

Here is the full press release from Disney Vacation Club.

“It’s no secret that our Members and Guests love the monorail resorts at Walt Disney World,” said Bill Diercksen, senior vice president and general manager of Disney Vacation Club. “Expanding our Disney Vacation Club offerings at the Polynesian would give our Members and Guests yet another incredible option for staying close to the magic while making vacation memories that last a lifetime.”

Inspired by the early concepts for Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, the Imagineers of today are honoring the past while furthering the resort story with this innovative addition. Projected to open in late 2024, the proposed vacation ownership property would complement the existing resort and evoke the spirit of the Pacific Islands.

Situated on the shores of Seven Seas Lagoon, the proposed property would join the rest of the resort in offering stunning views of the Magic Kingdom. Proposed plans would offer additional rooms, new recreation offerings and dining options. More information and project details will be shared at a later date.

Since 2015, Disney's Polynesian Villas & Bungalows has been a favorite resort destination, offering an island paradise in the middle of the magic. Disney's Polynesian Villas & Bungalows currently has 380 Disney Vacation Club villas, including the largest Deluxe Studios at any Disney Vacation Club resort at Walt Disney World and unique two-bedroom Bora Bora Bungalows, located over the waters of the Seven Seas Lagoon – the first of their kind at Disney.

Not too isolated to sell me a $90 tiki mug.

Yes a massive lump of sarcasm. You can't even see the tower from the monorail until you're almost at the MK station coming from the Grand Flo.

Is Trader Sam supposed to be on an isolated island in the middle of the Pacific?

Perhaps you intended your post to be sarcastic, but it took me a few seconds to even spot the tower. I'm not defending the way it looks—it isn’t well designed—but I don’t think someone sitting in Trader Sam’s Terrace is likely to notice it unless they’re actually trying to.

Some random shots from today, sorry for the poorer quality.

This tower is really a blight. Look at it loom from Trader Sam's Terrace.

Quite but I was referring to more left from the Riviera Station along before you get to the sand beach hammock in front of Caribbean Beach. I saw that there are signs so seemingly it's just funny seeing some fetching but then it breaks into no Fence only then with just a sign. I do love your map analysis!*

Exactly. It's to keep people safe from that initial unseen blast out of the water that crocodilian's do from the waters edge.

That sounds just like something a gator would say if it was trying to lure me into a false sense of security. And you have green skin in your profile pic! Gator!!!!
