Disney Springs Expansion, Will OKW and SSR resale prices increase?

Of course it's a matter of personal preference, but if it was as busy as you describe it, I guess a lot of people find it appealing? So these people may find an advantage to have a resort close by.

I doubt the value of at least OKW will change that much due to this. It's also now half way into its 50 year term.

Disney Springs, IMO, isn't worth the headache of a 45 minute bus trip from most of the other Disney Resorts. When EPCOT suffered attendance issues during its initial opening, Disney elected to expand the monorail to EPCOT so guests were more likely to visit. If Disney Springs fails to pull in the crowds after Disney has spent millions on its new developments, I think expanding the monorail would be the key factor to draw guests in to visit. The photo below shows the monorail passing directly through Saratoga Springs and Market Place. The white boat was the old Fulton's Crabhouse.

wait a minute....i remember taking a ride on the monorail out to the Epcot station prior to its opening.....so I do believe the monorail was always a part of Epcot
