Take a Sneak Peek of The Menu at Wailulu Bar & Grill at the New Island Tower at Disney’s Polynesian Villas

With the new Island Tower opening at Disney’s Polynesian Villas and Bungalows right around the corner, we have a sneak peek of what to expect at the resort’s new dining location, Wailulu Bar & Grill. The casual, walk-up bar and grill will offer specialty coffee and grab-and-go breakfast items. After breakfast hours, they will serve an all-day lunch and dinner menu.

Throughout the day, guests can enjoy scenic views of the water’s edge and Seven Seas Lagoon from the restaurant. Per Disney, Wailulu Bar & Grill will feature fireworks views from Magic Kingdom Park! That sounds like the perfect way to end a peaceful day spent at the resort! Wailulu Bar and Grill opened on December 17, 2024, with the rest of the resort. Now, let’s look at that menu!

Update: Wailulu Bar and Grill will start accepting reservations starting December 3, 2025. (Announcement)
