A brand new restaurant will be opening soon at the Walt Disney World Resort. Wailulu Bar & Grill will be a casual walk-up pool bar and grill and will be calling the new Island Tower at Disney’s Polynesian Villas & Bungalows home starting December 17.  

The restaurant will be situated on the water’s edge of Seven Seas Lagoon. Guests will see Polynesian-inspired artwork that was crafted exclusively for this location, some even with recycled materials and reclaimed fishing nets. And yes, Wailulu Bar & Grill will be another hot spot for Magic Kingdom fireworks viewing!

In the morning, Guests will be able to enjoy a specialty coffee and on-the-go morning pastries. For lunch and dinner, Wailulu Bar & Grill’s menu celebrates the flavors of Polynesia with influences of the Pacific Islands, from Easter Island and New Zealand to Fiji and Guam.  

Some of the menu highlights include the Sweet Potato Hummus with Breadfruit Tostones, Spiced Ham Musubi, and Chocolate Cake with the essence of Kona coffee. The beverage menu combines modern flavors of the Polynesian Islands with classic ingredients like hibiscus flowers, sake, yuzu, pandan, oolong tea, coffee, and passionfruit. Some cocktails include the Pandan Gin Gin Mule and Passionfruit and Pineapple Daiquiri, and non-alcoholic specialty beverages, the Hibiscus Iced Tea and Yuzu Oolong Tea Lemonade.
