East of the waterway? You must be seeing something there I can't see. There's just not enough there to put any sort of building, much less the amenities it would require for support. And there's parking and access. The problem west of the waterway is that I'm pretty sure it's designated as unbuildable so far as conservation land goes. I may be wrong on that but I think I remember that. Even if it weren't, there's the challenges of being on the outside of the monorail loop. Sure, the problem can be worked and remedied, but at what cost? A resort there would be suicidal without resort monorail access, and I doubt we'll ever see another "thru" monorail resort like the Contemporary is. It's important to remember that was built with the added benefit of the monorail not being in daily use at the time and actually, at the beginning; being built concurrently with the resort. IF they ever build another monorail resort, I'd be much more inclined to think it would be inside the monorail loop between TTC and the Contemporary. I believe that was the site proposed originally for the Persian. I know something was originally planned there.
We're all just speculating for fun as it is. But it is fun to try to guess right. P&R has always had a soft spot for where Reflections was being built, and it's a pretty nice piece of land and I doubt it's going to waste any longer now that the old waterpark is finally cleaned up. Something's going to happen over there. Only time will tell us whether it will be DVC or just another hotel. Personally, my belief is that we'll never see another deluxe resort built that doesn't at least have a DVC component, and certainly anything with that kind of proximity to MK is going to be a deluxe resort. Just thinking out loud for fun.
