Wow.....I guess they had to stop using the "Best Kept Secret" marketing campaign.

 

[JimFitz]

Holy Crap! I don't know if I am more shocked by the announcement or that woman's hair. She is a version of I Love Lucy on crack.

I just saw it on my e-mail announcement. Even though this was widely known, it's nice to know it's official!!

 

[WaltD4Me]

Wow.

Here was the other announcement today...I don't know about anyone else, but my kids would LOVE to do this!! Guess I have to start saving points!

Treehouse Villas at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa
Meanwhile, nestled in natural forest glens just around the river bend from the bustling Downtown Disney area, the Treehouse Villas at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa will mark the newest phase of what has become the largest Disney Vacation Club resort. Phase one of the idyllic lakeside community debuted in 2004, and phase three sold out earlier this year.
This new phase will revive Walt Disney World “treehouse living,” a cherished tradition from 1975-2002. While crews are replacing villas of the ‘70s with brand-new vacation homes, Imagineers took special care to honor the original octagonal design.

The construction process itself is unique as each stand-alone Treehouse Villa will come together like a giant 3-D puzzle to ensure both superior quality and environmental sensitivity.
All 60 three-bedroom homes, elevated 10 feet off the ground on pedestals and beams designed to blend into the forest environment, will sleep nine and are planned to offer modern luxuries such as cathedral ceilings, granite countertops and flat-screen TVs, all presented in a style dubbed “cabin casual.”
“I was lucky enough to have a treehouse as a kid, but it was certainly nothing like this,” said Imagineer Todd Thomasson. “In developing this resort, we’ve all learned a new word, ‘glamping,’ which apparently means glamorous camping. The Treehouse Villas will be glamping at its absolute best.”

I just called DH and said, "Guess what they announced today?" And, he guessed. I asked him how, and he said because of the excitement in my voice. But, by the time we got done talking the excitement was gone. He told me I have to get a job before I can buy there

 

[burberryplaid]

Very exciting..and I like the idea of the Treehouse Villas. It sounds like that's going to appeal to enviornmentalists.

 

[CAJUNWDWFAN]

One thing about the treehouse villas, are they going to require hurricane insurance? just something to think about

I don't think i'd be wanting to stay in one of those during a storm.

 

[tinkbutt]

Aww...don't be talking about Deevy See like that. She's one of our favorite "characters." If you ever meet her in person, you'll understand why. She's a riot.

LOL! Deevy See and I are like "this" (picture me crossing my fingers). She always gave me prizes at the Chicago Doorway to Dreams events.
