Are there plans for the next DVC property?

Plans are there I hope.

I hope it's at AKL, that's the only way they're going to get any more of my money (other than the parks that is).

I don't think most DVC owners went to WDW as much prior to becoming DVC owners as they do now that they own. In fact IMO a major reason WDW came up with DVC was to increase the number of times people would return to WDW.

We still spend the same amount of time at WDW usually 4 to 5 weeks a year and only half of our time is staying in a DVC unit at SSR. We still miss our monorail resorts and will continue to spend half of our time there. I don't go to WDW to spend a lot of time in the parks, I just like to have a getaway and relax and have spa days. This works for me. I am hoping for a monorail DVC next.

I live in NW Florida and a couple of weeks ago there was an article in the newspaper (about beach development) and it said that both Disney and Bush Gardens have bought large pieces of property in Panama City. Is it customary for Disney to invest in property or would this be a possible future DVC sight. Of course the rumor up here is a theme park but I'm sure that is not going to happen.

I would think that they're definitely gonna build something. But i wouldn't that it is 100%. Years ago Disney bought a huge chunk of land in center city Philadelphia. they started to build something(i think some kind of DisneyQuest). Then all the construction stopped and the property was sold. That's what makes me think that they are there to build.

I think the word you want is "adjacent" as opposed to "on site".

no not really. IMO what has happened is that via a huge marketing department, WDW has gotten the masses to view a 10 min wait for a bus, and a 20 min bus ride, as something being "on site".

How far from the attraction can something be prior to no longer being viewed as "on site"?

If WDW were to obtain land another 3 miles from SSR and build a DVC there, would that also be "on site"?

What about 5 miles?

It never ends........

But maybe I mean adjacent?

When I think "on site", I think on-site much like the Grand Californian is to California Adventure with it's own park entrance. Is it possible, or probable, that Disney would entertain this up close and personal type of resort physically attached to any of their parks? Seems to me that there is enough space around the perimeter of these parks to allow for it. Now, if something like this was done, I truly believe it would sell like wildfire.

Can you post the article or give a link to the newspaper?

So that would mean that only Y&B, BW, Swan & Dolphin are the only "on-site" resorts? They are the only ones with their own entrance to EPCOT.

No, thats not what I meant. The Grand Californian is smack up against the theme park. Not within a short walking distance with it's own entrance. I think that having a hotel literally in the park would take DVC to a level that hasn't been done before.

Does the Grand Californian have it's own entrance? I've never been to disneyland. Actually I'm pretty new to WDW. I'm not sure that I would want to stay at a resort in the park. I love the parks but sometimes I just want to stay at the resort and chill. I would think being in a park wouldn't give you too much quiet area. Everyday in WDW I need that little quiet time to recharge the batteries.

Yes, it does. That is what makes it unique.

I think the next DVC resort will be built in California. With the 50 year celebration, DVC made a huge push to start selling DVC in the California parks. When we were there last November, we stopped and talked to our Saleslady (who'd been moved there). She was very closed mouth about whether this meant a DVC resort in California, but indicated that this was what the sales group was "hoping for". So... maybe that was a bit of double talk. We can only wait and see!

Its all speculation and opinion at this point

 

[bpmorley]

maybe someday we'll trade our points at SSR and go to Disneyland.

I think the next DVC resort will be at the CR. There is plenty of space and those garden wings are so dated and ugly looking.

I've mentioned this before, but it bears repeating; The next DVC resort will indeed be built at the CR with, what DVD hopes will be, a new trend-setting tacky-chic theme. It will combine two passe Disney icons, MK's Jungle Cruise attraction and the Contemporary Resort, into one incredible retro-luxury timeshare known as... the Contemporary Resort Adventure Properties.

ok..lets see now...Villas at Wilderness Lodge are VWL and the Saratoga Springs Resort is SSR, which means the Contempory Resort Adventure Properties will be known as ......ahhhhhhhh......noooooooo

this a fact?

and good call Abner

I want to stay in a 2 bedroom villa at Disneyland Grand California for the same points it costs to stay at the VWL.

Please build an annex there !

DisneyWorld has plenty of DVC clubs for now !

What we need are more parks in WDW

I will look for it. I believe it was a front page article about construction and development. It was in the Northwest Florida Daily News definitely in March but I think last week or the week before.

I would still love to see DVC resorts built at all of the Disney parks around the world. JMO
