"???? - New DVC Resort - Rumor - (6/5/10) While I havent heard anything more about that rumored new DVC resort project across from the Coronado, other sources have confirmed that Disney is currently attempting to finalize plans to create a DVC add-on to the Grand Floridian."
Remember nothing is final until a new DVC Resort takes the first reservation!
I could believe full size grand-villa homes (like the vb beach homes? would make a nice compliment to a VWL that currently has no GV category. And add additional summer demand. If they combined that with an extension to 2062 (50 years from cabin start date) it could be a good money maker for DVC.
I think THv was more about what environmental laws allowed ve the most that DVC wanted. They had to pull every trick in the book (I.e. prefab) to make a 2br equivalent economically possible. I'm sure they would of preferred a GV.
The trick there is that VWL itself is rather small. If they expanded into cabins alone, people buying those points would also be booking studios, 1BRs, etc., in the existing building, creating a challenging situation for current owners.
