Are you referring to the Island Tower? Took me a while to pick that up. Okay, I didn't mean they won't do it, I meant they shouldn't.And yet they built a giant brown Fairfield by Mariott on Seven Seas Lagoon.
I am a huge Disney and DVC lover but I absolutely hate these generic towers Disney’s doing now. They look like any Marriott you’d see in any city. It’s sad. I guess the days of amazingly and intricately themed resorts are over. Imagineering is a shadow of its former self, especially when it comes to the new resorts.

How much sq ft do we think are the Dance Hall, JellyRolls, and Brewery?Intriguing but the front quarter of that the hall is over the water. Probably not enough real estate unless jellyrolls and the brewery weren’t there anymore… oh wait?
And fireworks viewing from up top, too.
I'd also want a full resort with rooftop dining to see Epcot fireworks and DHS Fantasmic!
You've got a fantastic idea! Although BCV is my favorite resort, it's despite the fact that the QS offerings are lacking. I'm lucky that now I have an AP and can go into Epcot to get a meal (Quiche and dessert) at Les Halles. Otherwise, no great offerings.As a BCV owner for 22 years now, what this area does not need, are more DVC rooms. If they tear down the dance hall, they need to put up a decent, affordable food court type place. Thats what the entire area needs!! Something we can grab and bring back to our rooms. The choices are so darn limited right now.
It’s not so bad now that valet parking doesn’t take up the entire lot next to the tennis courts. But they’d have to be stricter about parking there without a reservation of some kind and maybe enforce time limited parking for reservations, because people use it as Epcot/DHS parking (breakfast at Trattoria, leave the car there all day).What about parking for this new tower? I haven't driven a car to the crescent lake resorts yet...is there adequate parking there for not only the existing rooms, but an extra, say, 250 villas?
The Brewery is beneath the central part of the BW view wing (see diagram here https://www.disboards.com/media/bwv-boardwalk-view.62896/), so I don’t see it becoming part of the tower. However, JellyRolls is at the end of that wing, and I don’t think there are villas above it, thus not impossible to incorporate into a new tower - with indoor access from a BWV hallway.How much sq ft do we think are the Dance Hall, JellyRolls, and Brewery?
This entire end of Boardwalk is potentially empty.
It would have to be taller than the Swan, I think. Looking at a satellite map it seems the Swan is at least partially in the line of sight from Atlantic Dance to DHS.would Swan block view of DHS from Dance Hall Tower?
“Dance Hall Tower”… hmmmYes!!!! Love the idea of a Tower at crescent lake. The Dance Hall location at Boardwalk would offer views of TWO theme parks so DVC could market TPV with twice as many rooms (would Swan block view of DHS from Dance Hall Tower?); even the standard 'resort' view rooms would have a crescent lake view! No bad choices!!! Man, I like this even better than my BCV Tower fantasy with an Epcot view....
Disney must want to do something with the empty JellyRolls and Atlantic Dance Hall together.It’s not so bad now that valet parking doesn’t take up the entire lot next to the tennis courts.

Umh??? We own at BLT. Own at VDH. Own at Poly which now has a tower.Per a recent DVC Fan 300th episode comment….
How would the community respond to DVC tearing down the Dance Hall and building a restricted Boardwalk Tower?
I will walk.What about parking for this new tower? I haven't driven a car to the crescent lake resorts yet...is there adequate parking there for not only the existing rooms, but an extra, say, 250 villas?

I think a more realistic location would be the land next to Cake Bake. It would provide some great Epcot-view rooms and very close access to the International Gateway.
