I heard they have put out stakes near the petting zoo area to start construction on a disney vacation club hotel. Has anyone heard about this and is it true?

Thank god, I woke up today and thought to myself: "you know vaughn4380, Disney doesn't have enough vacation club hotels, I hope they build another one soon".

Rumor: River Country to be razed for DVC resort?
Recent reports of Disney executives tromping around the site of the closed River Country water park and more recent reports of Imagineers in the same area have led to rumors of new resort development. Screamscape is reporting (link) that a new Disney Vacation Club resort will be built between Fort Wilderness and the Wilderness Lodge, causing River Country and the current Tri-Circle-D Ranch to be leveled. The ranch would be relocated nearby.
The new resort would be based on the old plans for the Wilderness Junction Resort (also called the Buffalo Junction Resort) that was originally planned for construction during the Disney Decade. The Wilderness Junction Resort was originally to include a 600-room resort along the shore of Bay Lake and was to have been connected to the Wilderness Lodge and Fort Wilderness by a rebuilt Fort Wilderness Railroad, but the railroad is not expected to be part of the new construction (if the construction does indeed happen).

The Wilderness Junction was to have resembled the Hotel Cheyenne of Disneyland Paris (link), with a copy of Disneyland Paris' Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show (link) running nearby. Screamscape reports that the resort would open in 2013 or 2014.

Spooky, I am seeing this for the first time now and i had a dream last night that they built a DVC resort next to River Country. Of course, i also dreamed they upgraded River Country and re-opened it for just DVC owners only (hint to Disney!).... I'd spend a grand to buy into River Country (also a hit to Disney!)...
