Do you mean Bay Lake Tower? It is right next to the Contemporary in the Magic Kingdom area and opened August 4, 2009. They mention it when you are on the monorail.

Can you describe where you saw this new hotel so that we can better help figure it out? Disney property is HUGE so knowing where you saw it can help a ton.

Bonnett Creek? It's next to CBR, it's a timeshare, Fairfield I think. You really can't see it from the road though.

Only a couple new hotels on Disney property. If it was not Bay Lake Towers must be the Waldorf Astoria or the Hilton in Bonnett Creek.

That looks pretty nice and the price is right! I wonder how their park shuttle service is? I'll have to look into it.

No, no...

I think Dan was trying to point out that you can see it from Disney property. Looks like it's behind the Caribbean Beach Resort. That's not a pretty site at all.

Yes. That is it. I love how many of the resorts feel so secluded and are not intruded upon by the rest of the world. Oh well. This one was out of Disney's hands.
