The two that spring to mind aren't really new resorts but modifications of existing ones.
The first is the new DVC wing of the Contemporary that they are building but refuse to acknowledge (yet ) The second development we are likely to see is the finishing off of Pop Century, from 1900 to 1940 on the other side of the lake. Rumour has it that these will be family suites instead of standard rooms.
I think these would be finished off first before any new resorts are opened.

Of course anything is possible with disney

Disney is also building DVC units at the Grand Californian at Disneyland Resort and a combined hotel/DVC property in Hawaii.

four seasons will be building on WDW property.

Really? A revamp of an existing hotel property in the Downtown Disney area, maybe?

I'm also curious about the resorts renovation schedule, too-I'll nose around and look for that...

No, Four seasons is taking over the area in the golf course - Eagle pines (I think is the one).

It is surpose to be a real 5 star resort.

Actually, Four Seasons has already broken ground near SSR and downtown disney for completion in 2010. There will also be a new Waldorf-Astoria built close to WDW property somewhere in the near future. Finally, some true first class hotels.

I want to see the other half of Pop finished before any other new WDW resorts are built. That half-finished construction site is an eyesore.

Me too! Aren't they building resorts someone on or near WDW that will be deluxe type but not belong to Disney? Four Seasons or something like that?

Where near DTD and SSR? The announcement a year or so ago said it would be located near the golf courses as Spiceycat said.

As for the Waldorf-Astoria, it is well under construction. It's huge and won't be my cup of tea.

 

[DizzDoll]

If its true, family suites at Pop sounds nice, doesn't it? Sure beats looking at that "parking lot" it's become over there.

Not near the golf courses, on them. The courses are being closed and replaced with the Four Seasons resort.

I was under the impression the new Western Way development would include Disney owned accomodations that can compete with offsite suite accomodations, to offer something for families traveling with 5 or more members.

I know the golf course are supposed to be closing...in fact one has I think...but wasn't sure exactly where on that land the hotel was going as opposed to the single family homes or timeshares or whatever is being developed. Do you know? And has construction started? And is it timeshares or homes or what?

Still wondering what construction near DTD and SSR WDWvillian was referring to??

I totally agree. Family suites with beds in the second room (instead of pull-outs) would be great! Keep wishing!
