We just stayed for 7 day at the PO-French Quarter. Everyday we would take the steamboats down to downtown disney. Every captain we had would tell us the same info about the tree top villas. They are def. Part of SSR and will be ready for guests in late april.
They look great! The big floor to ceiling windows were open and you can see all the way in. Viewing a living room, kitchen, awesome spa like shower and bathroom and 2 bedrooms. Looks like all the wheelchair lifts have been installed in the bases of the tree tops. And there are bbq grills at every staircase for each unit.
If they are only for the DVC people that will be quite sad, as I think it would be a great way of bringing larger families in and groups who wanna room together.
I hope they release prices soon, we really try em out next year!
