[csimonri]

I know that wilderness lodge is getting the cabins on the water added like the Polly .other then that is there any new resorts on the table.... anything else besides these additions to the Wilderness lodge.... any ideas? River country? Something else?

There has been speculation for years about the "next" DVC, but right now, the only one that has been even remotely announced is the VWL expansion .

Rumor is WL II will include hotel rooms converted. Some early reports were studios only, but plans change.

After WL II, rumors indicate YC/BC hotel room conversions.
All this matches the articles indicating Disney wanted to reduce Deluxe hotel room inventory.

There have also been rumors (and leaked plans) for a DVC component at Fort Wilderness.

My understanding is that the cabins will be next to the water not on it.

You may find the article Tim wrote back in August 2014 about the next decade of DVC. While Disney frequently changes plans, so far the article is doing a good job of describing everything we are seeing.

maybe this has been discussed in a different thread/forum, but any ideas how they are going to do this? Offer more WL points, interchangeable with the old ones? Will they have a longer expiration date? Thoughts?

They will be new separate DVC resorts with a 50 contract date and their own point charts.

As noted, this appears to be a separate DVC resort with NO crossover access other than the usual DVC 7 month window. This could change but is unlikely to.

Wasn't there some talk a while back about doing something DVC related at CBR?

Huh... this kind of blows my mind. I mean, from a logistical standpoint that's probably the best way to handle it but basically you will have no choice to size up or down on accommodations the way it sounds now.

Other TS's have "separate" resorts at a current resort. Marriott's resort on Maui is one example. They had converted a former Marriott hotel to TS way back, around the late 90's. Then a few years ago they built 2 new towers, purpose built as TS villas. They are considered 2 different resorts. The inventory does NOT cross over at all. They are all right on the same property/resort. It can be done.

I know one resort on Maui that has at least 4 different timeshares with units there. The Marriott is Vail is actually 5 resorts in one and now 2 of them are no longer Marriott because they were not willing to pay for upgrages to keep up with Marriott's standards.

I have no problem with this as long as the new VWL II owners can not book any existing DVC rooms at VWL, and visa versa.

There really are 2 components here. What members at existing resorts prefer and what DVD can legally do. To a large degree, DVD can pretty much do what they want including building an addition or new resort that messes with views or taxes infrastructure. Certainly the feel of a given resort is of no legal consequence legally.

I assume you meant to add ". . . during the Home Resort Period."

Yes, during the 11-8 month home resort booking timeframe...thanks!
