A new DVC ???

A new DVC ??? (I wish!)

I just heard on 1010 WINS radio in NYC (the largest news radio station audience here) that Disney is looking into making some kind of development in Coney Island. The report said that Disney needed to find a piece of land big enough for their needs.

Might this be the newest DVC resort??? (I doubt it.)

Wow that would be great! I've always wanted to go to New York!

I actually posted this morning too. I don't see my thread, don't know where it went. I heard the same thing on Channel 5 10:00 pm news. It's supposed to be a surprise. Perhaps a ride (I thought of DVC too). They were reviewing/looking for space large enough. Locals were not too happy. Mickey Mouse and Astroland - I don't think so either. That's just my opinion.

There are several threads about this on our <a href="http://www.disboards.com/forumdisplay.php?s=&daysprune=&forumid=36">News and Rumors Forum</a>.

The prior thread was moved there earlier today.

There is a NY Times article from today's paper posted with information about a posible Disney project.

Please check out the <a href="http://www.disboards.com/forumdisplay.php?s=&daysprune=&forumid=36">News and Rumors Board</a> for more information.

There is no mention of any resort/DVC component.

I hope NOT! I grew up in NY and Coney Island is a $#@! hole!

Thanks Doc. Today in the hospital waiting room someone was reading the NY Post and I saw a whole page on this.

This might be good because so many folks from New York and New Jersey vacation in Florida. I grew up in NJ and I LOVE all the East Coast folks I meet in Orlando. All those great accents make me misty! Anyhow, all those Disney fans could get a mini-MOUSE charge before their big trips south

Just my opinion...

They were talking about it on Comedy Central on the Daily News Show (?). Perhaps they would include a DVC resort there. Wouldn't that be great.

Wow, not my idea of a good time!

Yeah, but think about it- Orlando was a swamp before Disney got hold of it!

Back when DVC was expanding beyond WDW (VB & HH) they were planning a DVC in the City. I even saw drawings posted on this site. But because of the "dismal sales of VB & HH" the idea was scrapped along with Newport Beach, CA site.
