And The Walls Will Come Tumbing Down

[jimmytammy]

You know this makes me think,(and thats a scary thing for those of you who know me)even though the Contemp DVC has been a well longed for possibility from us, building AKV 1st makes sense from a business point. Those AKV units will be mostly ground up, new units while they are having to tear down wings of Contemp to prepare to build back. So with that in mind, I still have hope that the Contemp DVC is still in the works. And I believe they do listen to us, or monitor us here. Either way, I am looking forward to the options for the future of places to stay.

See I knew Sammie had "other" information after the DVC expansion thread.

I believe the wings were not original construction. From what I understand, the wings were added onto the original hotel after opening. Only the tower is the original hotel, so really, the new crescent shaped tower is only another alteration to the original resort.

No - actually the wings were original and built at the same time as the tower (there are Disney publications with photographic proof). The convention facilities were, however, a later addition.

Sorry some of you found this boring. I will share the next phase by PM to those interested.

I want on the list.

Me, too!

And Sammie, I don't think anyone was bored.

BTW do you mean the razing has actually begun or just that you've heard that it will actually happen?

 

[lenshanem]

Sammie, please PM me any time you hear anything about the Contemporary. And I mean anything. I'm on pins and needles over here...

Now about that pic of the wrecking ball Tony...

 

[Boston5602]

I'll keep this on topic , please tell us here



THANK YOU Sammie

Oh gosh, I was just kidding.

Truly if I hear anything else, confirmed I will let you know. I will not however post rumors. My info might be slow at times, but my sources are very reliable and therefore they don't like to share info that is either not confirmed or extremely confidential. Confidential I won't share, I value their friendship too much.

Not based on anything I was told, but more what I was not told. I truly think the project there will be a joint venture between Resorts and DVC. I think that is why we keep seeing the Contemporary Suites mentioned.

As far as I know, the wrecking has not started.

When we were there last week we commented that it sure did not look like a remodel job...

No one is 'bored' Sammie...my post was intended as a subtle nudge suggesting a little 'late to the table'. -- but that's understandable in the context to your posting standards.

If you'd like to go out on a real limb however, you can tell us what your being told about a 5th gate!
( I'm assuming your 'contact' is really "Double Deep-Croaker"? )

Im eager to see what comes of this. Any renovations to the CR would be great.

The razing has started. Watched the rooms closest to Bay Lake being knocked down today.

 

[lisareniff]

thanks for the info Sammie! Finally, it's happening.... well... soon.

 

[Happy Birthday Cat]

Thanks for the info Sammie. Keep all the inside info coming. My DW and I stayed there on our honeymoon in 1979. I guess I should tell the wife that it's all over (let her figure out what).

I don't know who I have more of a crush on now you or Greenban.


Between the high potential now of CV and completely throws me off of my planning course.

 

[dis-happy]

Greenban and Sammie....now THAT would be a presidential ticket I would vote for!!!!

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing.

I'd vote for that ticket!!!!! Only problem who'd be the pres. and who'd be the vice.?

2goofee, I don't suppose you have a picture you could share ???

Not doubting you or anything - just anxious (I think...) to see for myself what's going on.

Thanks for the update.

To me it is both sad and exciting. My husband and I always said those very rooms near Bay Lake were the ones we would want to stay in if we were ever tempted to stray from the Polynesian. We never did but still....

And yet....CRV....here we come!
