For You Contemporary Wishers! New Concept Art

[ADP]

Found this on another site. Maybe Disney and DVC should just come out with it and make the announcement.

[JimC]

Thanks. Very nice. But it still looks a bit out of sorts with the CR A-frame next door. Whatever they do, it is bound to be first rate.

[3DisneyKids]

Thanks so much for the post. I, too, am hoping for the CRV...though I really was hoping against the c-shaped thing. This certainly makes it look as though they are moving full-steam ahead.

[LIFERBABE]

That Building is really nice, but it makes the Tower look really old and raggedy. Like a big gaping Airport Hanger.

Maybe they should have put the DVC in front of the tower to hide it!:goodvibes

Yeah, but not too bad. I could warm up to it.

[smjj]

If it is true and I am very skeptical right now, it almost looks as if the have dimmed the old current structure to highlight the new structure to show it off. Its a trick used to vocus attention..smjj

[MinnieGi]

I like it! I like the location! I doubt if I'll buy there, but I'll look forward to staying there.:goodvibes

[BroganMc]

Oh, me like, me like!

Reminds of the first beach condo I stayed at, but brighter and whiter. Anyone else notice that footbridge across to the Tower? That'd be cool in a Space Mountain kinda way. I hope they decorate it with running track lights. It'll make you think you're going faster.

[OneMoreTry]

It looks HUGE in that picture.

What are they going to do to theme it and make it Disney?

[3DisneyKids]

Oh please....can't you just hear the complaints already?? "But the walk to the monorail is soooo loooong. You thought BWV hallways were long?!? Wait till you stay at CRV..." :rotfl2: :lmao: :rotfl2: :lmao:

[CR Resort Fan 4 Life]

As I already said about this on the Resort board, the design looks very ineresting and this is more proof that this will be a DVC building and not just a building called Magic Kingdom suites as others have thought.

[Sammie]

Am I the only one that finds this unofficial.

No offense to the OP, as he/she just posted what was posted on another site. But couldn't this just be a computer generated situation where someone has taken a photo of a condo building and placed it in a photo of the Contemporary.

I guess I am missing what makes this official? :confused3

Yeah, but it does look exactly like the overhead concept art that everyone has on their CRV-wish graphics. Of course there is not proof it's official, but it looks like its from the same source. It looks like a more sophisticated concept art than some yahoo with Photoshop.

Was there an article to go with the photo, or just a photo?

This photo was posted on screamscape. It is described as having been sent in to screamscape.

Perhaps it was sent by an "official" buried deep in the Photoshop.:rolleyes1


Magic Kingdom Suites is a concept from the Eisner era that was proposed for the shores of Seven Seas, across World Drive from the CR.

Thanks I don't frequent screamscape, just curious why any thing posted on there would be considered an "official" release. As to the professional look to it, I am sure there are several regulars on this forum that could make it look just as professional.

I am sure DVC will be build there eventually. But as to what it will look like well I for one am not convinced this it.

[CR Resort Fan 4 Life]

Weather this is an official photo that is something we will either choose to believe or not believe. I still say the most obvious reason that there will be a DVC building there is the demolition of the North Garden Wing. I am sorry for always brining that point up, but if this is not going to be a DVC building why would the North Garden Wing have been demolished? I mean they could have renovated it like the South Garden Wing. Basically what I am saying is the Contemporary would have not got rid of so many rooms if they did not plan on building something new in that area. So with the rumours out there it can only be a DVC building.

[vonpluto]

I agree. All we have so far is this anonymous photo, and the two drawings that appeared on the architects site a while back. One birds-eye view rendering and a Seven Seas elevation.

We don't know the why or where for behind those drawings. Disney may have contracted with that firm and accepted, rejected or sent the drawings back for revisions. Or they could be just one entry in a design competition.

When Disney is ready to make it public, we'll know.:upsidedow

[tjkraz]

Given the level of detail in the structure, I'm hard-pressed to think that it is Photoshopped. But I also agree that the overall quality of the image leaves much to be desired.

My impression is that it could be something created by the design firm to help execs try to visualize the finished product. I don't think it is any more predictive than the other two pieces of artwork that have been circulating for months.

All three pieces of art could represent exactly what's being constructed at that site...or they could be a concept that was considered and discarded ages ago. Time will tell...

[Tinkalink]

Whether it is a future projection or a disguarded plan, it's still a nice wish. I think you know that saying, "If you can dream it...

[3DisneyKids]

Basically what I am saying is the Contemporary would have not got rid of so many rooms if they did not plan on building something new in that area. So with the rumours out there it can only be a DVC building.

No, there are other options besides DVC. Don't get me wrong...I would love for it to be DVC, but just because the North Wing is gone doesn't mean DVC is going up. It could be family suites. It could be luxury suites (according to several sources, there is a large demand for this). Or it could just be renovated CR. And according to much of what has been posted here and on other fan sites, there was SO MUCH wrong with the North Wing that there was really no choice but demo...there was asbestos and moold...both of which are, of course, toxic.

Anyway, my point is that it doesn't "have" to be DVC. I sure hope it is, though!

Personally, I think the California will be announced next...and while I think a DVC at the Contemp will come eventually, I think it is still down the road a bit.

I vote with Sammie. After all, just because this exists doesn't mean that the MK area will look like this in future, does it?

[ADP]

I wouldn't consider this concept art as anything official. Nothings really official until Disney announces it. It's just another piece of information to show what it would/could look like. I feel it does put the rumor of DVC at the Contemporary a step closer.

I consider the folks on that other website as very reliable. Only time will tell. Until then we can just digest this information and take it for what it's worth.

[dwelty]

Get ready for the first Untheamed DVC property. Miami Highrise Condo on the way!

[tjkraz]

I consider the folks on that other website as very reliable. Only time will tell. Until then we can just digest this information and take it for what it's worth.

If you're referring to Screamscape, I don't know that I can agree. I've been reading it for several years now and while it's an enjoyable site, I don't know that I would rate their "hit" percentage very high. They will pretty much post any rumor that appears anywhere else on the Internet. They recently redesigned their WDW rumor pages, so a lot of the old chaff has been removed. About 4-6 months ago the site had information on such hot projects as the Toy Story Green Alien Bumper Cars and the Epcot Canada Pavilion river raft ride.

I was actually the source of a "rumor" once. A few years ago when DVC stopped allowing members to request an "Epcot View" at BCV, I sent the site owner an email relaying that info and sort of speculating aloud as to whether there were additional reasons for the restriction. My comments were turned into "rumors" about future development plans for Epcot. :rolleyes1

I'm not trying to slam the site because I do think it's a great resource. However I wouldn't attach any sort of additional credibility to rumors just because they are posted there. 99% of what is printed there is just repeating what also appears on other websites (at least in terms of the Disney parks info.)

There are other options beside DVC except the permits all say DVC but I'm sure that part of the building will be to replace the missing rooms from the north wing. Why would the south wing be able to be refurbished but the north could only be destroyed to remedy these issues? Also the asbestos would need to be removed before demolition so there would be no savings there.

Have they started construction in California? It would seem odd to build the second building first.

[tor]

Oh please....can't you just hear the complaints already?? "But the walk to the monorail is soooo loooong. You thought BWV hallways were long?!? Wait till you stay at CRV..." :rotfl2: :lmao: :rotfl2: :lmao:

I could see the complaints about the walk because it seems a good number of DVC people on these boards have an aversion to walking but it really would be no longer than the north wing was and the elevated walk way will bring you in at the lobby level.

You could be right. Who really knows for sure. It is mostly a rumor and information site. As for credibility of the site I guess it's just personal preference and past experience.

[DISNEYDUET]

Oh I hope and pray!!! COme on Contempo DVC!! :wizard:

[CR Resort Fan 4 Life]

While some of you may believe me or not but every Cast Member I ask at the Contemporary about this says it will be a DVC building 100%.

[TLinden16]

That's cool looking :)

[3DisneyKids]

While some of you may believe me or not but every Cast Member I ask at the Contemporary about this says it will be a DVC building 100%.

I absolutely believe you that all of the CMs are saying this. I have heard many of them say this as well. And then there was the CM who said "Yup...it's going to be a DVC alright...15 stories, but if you want to get it on it, you better hurry up because the first 7 floors are already sold!" :rolleyes1

While I adore most CMs and I know how hard they work to make the magic happen for all us, most of them are not very knowledgeable when it comes to DVC.

Additionally, when it comes to rumors and CMs here is a great story. I was at the CR for Chef Mickey's several months ago and was talking with a CM before heading to the restaurant. We got to talking about certain things and I informed HIM about some news that I had heard. He had never head this information before. It was not a big deal....he and I were just having a pleasant chat. Not 5 minutes later I heard the same wonderful CM repeat the info. that I just told him to other guests...and do so as though it were Divine Fact.

Totally not slamming CMs here...but this is how these things happen. Again, I would like to see a DVC here as well, but concept art and permits are truly meaningless. Anyone booked at Eagle Pines recently?

Anyone booked at Eagle Pines recently?The only thing I was not by them was that 7 of the 15 floors have already been sold out and even if they did tell me that I would not have believed it. I mean how could they sell out if they were not annoucned by WDW the way it was done for the Animal Kingdom Lodge?

[CR Resort Fan 4 Life]

Anyone booked at Eagle Pines recently?The only difference with Eagle Pines is nothing there was torn down and etc, the way the North Garden Wing was demolished. Yes you can make the argument that the North Garden Wing was old and damaged by the Hurricanes, however does it not seem funny that is was also torn down around the same time the DVC talk at the Contemporary started to heat up?

[DVC Grammy]

If that's what will be built, IMHO, I think it's a nice compliment to the original A-frame Tower building. To me, the two geometric shapes (circle and triangle) say "contemporary".
I don't know if we'll do another add-on there, but then again, I didn't have plans to have our latest home, AKV, either :lmao: ! (Someone please get my DH and me a vaccine against Addonitis!)

Well, they are going to build something...whether it will be a DVC or family suites (or both) is yet to be seen. Be careful with CM rumors...in particular as it surrounds DVC. Florida has VERY strict timeshare laws. They regulate what can be said and what can't. In the early days of timeshares (in particular florida) there were many con artists who would sell timeshares before they were built, then took the money and ran. Only the DVC execs know for sure what is going to happen. And they are not talkingpopcorn::

[Lexxiefern]

I agree with the poster that said it looks very big. But I still hope it happens and look forward to staying there!

My point exactly, MG! Thanks for posting this. There are so many of these things floating around (and yes, there were permits for this as well), that it just doesn't mean much yet. We can hope and wish...but there is just nothing official yet....sure is fun to speculate though!

And I would be delighted to post many many more 'official' artist's renderings of 'future' projects ;)

Now wait, didn't you see the connecting corridor between the new building and the A-frame? Maybe they will be using Walt's concept for the original Florida project and run electric trams back and forth. :goodvibes

[spiceycat]

I don't think it is DVC decision. the higher up at Disney are still weighting their options.

hey the first 7 floors could be the suites.... then they are sold out -because they would never be part of the DVC in the first place.:happytv:

but tearing down the North Wing is a very good sign to me~!

[vandy]

Sorry, Yes I can see it is the backside of the "C" shaped building, but it reminds me too much of those old Watergate Hotel photos from the 70's!

Somehow, in today's cultural and political climate, I don't think this theme would fly anymore.......

I would have been cool if they had included it originally though.

and finally, the newest DVC - Epcot villas

(hey it HAS to be true - Walt himself announced it after all, and it appears in the model inside the TTA attraction... proof enough that it's 'coming soon') :rotfl:

My theory too:thumbsup2 (better views 8th floor & up:) ).

Think we'll increasingly see more of "shared" facilities in the future; perhaps even a niche market at the existing resorts -- as in moderates converting to studios ala the family suites @ the Values.:snooty: Not for everybody, but it might be a way to be more inclusive to implement a different tier/level of DVC with lower buy-in for different target audience.:confused3
