DVC Contemporary Resort

[BW Fan]

Does anyone have any information as to the building of a DVC resrot at the Contemporary Resort? I saw pictures where they were tearing down the garden wings for new constructions and assumed it to be for DVC villas. I haven't seen any posts on this, so any information will be helpful.

Nothing has been released officially about the new tower that is supposed to have DVC units.

Pics of the construction site of the "not a DVC resort" are can be found at the WDW park update for Oct 9 on [another site]. As much $$$ as that old wing of CR made, you KNOW that it wouldn't just be an empty space for long. Looks like the new construction is moving right along.

Thanks for that web reference. That Hawaii resort looks awesome! And the "not-a-DVC"
photos were interesting as well.

C'mon - its got to be a new DVC location!!!! Can you imagine how fast those points would sell?

If I might add, I don't think it's likely it would be DVC. I mean, Disney has officially announced two other locations that haven't begun development or construction yet. But the CR which already is having the foundation and structuring being built, hasn't? That's extremely odd, isn't it?

Also, if Disney really was wanting to sell more points, why waste the time and money to market locations such as California and Hawai'i first instead of CR? It would be unreasonable from a marketing perspective to do that.

Personally, I think Disney realized that a building that is over 30 years old needs to be updated. So they can't work on the main building ever because the monorail runs through it, so they can really only work the two smaller ones.

But, I could be wrong. What do I know?

They actually have worked on the main building. All of the rooms have been renovated and there are many changes happening in the Grand Concourse.

I believe that there is every chance that the new building will be a "mixed use resort" like the new Grand Californian Villas and the Hawaii project will be. Meaning that the resort will have regular resort rooms and DVC vacation villas.
DVC has neither confirmaed nor denied that DVC at the CR is happening. With SSR close to selling out and AKV selling well, this could be true. They likely won't announce anything until SSR is completely sold and Kidani construction is well underway. Let's keep in mind that Disney has made no announcement of any kind regarding the construction on the former site of the north wing.

With the tremendous growth inDVC membership, they will need to offer more properties at WDW over time. A DVC resort on the monorail would be a huge seller.

We will have to wait and see.
