I haven't seen where they've actuall said the studios will connect. But they have said that all the new
DVC rooms at GF will be studios. So unless they plan on completely tearing down all the interior walls and rebuilding all the rooms, those rooms are going to have connecting doors between them. Given the stated time-frame, I don't see them changing the basic structure of the existing rooms.
Now, of course, they *could* seal off those doors, but I don't see them doing that.
