Any news on opening date and room types at the new tower?

Nope. Still waiting.

Keep watching these forums, though. When sales and other information are announced, you won't have any trouble finding it here.

That’s a pretty small looking pool for a 7 story tall building.

The real question is whether the total poly pool are to people ratio increases or decreases with a third pool but additional tower guests vs two poly pools before adding in tower guests?

The Disneyland Villas DVC also has a very small pool for a similar sized tower. DVC are allowed to use the pools in the rest of the Disneyland Hotel resort. This seems to be the case here as well. The other 2 pools in the Polynesian Resort would be available to DVC.

There are currently 847 rooms at the Polynesian. 2 pools.
There will be +250, so 1100 rooms after the tower goes in, with 3 pools.

Seems like a better ratio.

Do we know if the tower will have its own monorail station?

I would put that chance at 0%

No. All those people are just gonna flood the regular poly lobby or the GF lobby. Should be fun with all those extra people pushed on top of eachother.

I’d guess they will flood those resorts pools also

May not be so bad, but one of the best perks is the proximity of the monorail station.

No wonder why WDW stopped Shades of Green from walking to the Poly and using the monorail.

Hey, that's tiny me over at the Grand Floridian that day! Wish I were still there!

Yep, it will all even out. With no shades of green traffic, and the added poly tower traffic, it will be net zero. Or maybe better. Shades of Green has 600 rooms. The new tower will have 250.
