Well, I said I would only buy into DVC if there was resort right next to FW.

I think you are thinking of Discovery Island. This is not being built on an island.
This is more exciting than originally expected, I figured it would be 100 percent DVC with the cash room and the number of bays that means this could be a decent size property, and with it being partially cash I am hoping means it will be more likely to get a really unique pool. Now i want to see new artist rendered drawings.
No rumors on theming yet.I am also curious to see how they differentiate theme from Wilderness Lodge. DVC = Deluxe resort so it's not going to be in keeping with the Fort Wilderness vibe. Just can't see another "log cabin" theme here. Any early rumors?
I’m sure IKEA will have something else on sale by the time they furnish the new FW resortI am also curious to see how they differentiate theme from Wilderness Lodge.

While I really like the 2011 design, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense given that there's now 2 DVCs with a Wilderness theme and still a large amount of WL hotel rooms. I hope I am wrong though.
Have you seen the most recent rendering of the Riviera Resort? it doesn't look like the CBR at all (which is good)I really hope it's not WL2. I like when resorts have unique theming. It's been awhile since we've gotten a newly themed deluxe resort. (Not counting AoA.) Most DVCs have been add-ons. I guess Riviera is a "new" resort, but likely to match the CBR theme but more luxe.
It looks like a deluxe resort in the Caribbean. Which I assume is what they are going for.Have you seen the most recent rendering of the Riviera Resort? it doesn't look like the CBR at all (which is good)
You're sister's BF wouldn't happen to be a Disney bus driver?
Can say first hand the contemporary pools are....underwhelming. The BLT pool is nice, but it’s not jaw dropping by any means

In looking at WATG's website the design company for the new hotel it appears they have only done Disney's higher class resorts and specialize in high class resorts around the world.
"Thomas has led design efforts on numerous major themed hotels and resorts around the globe, and has served as senior project designer for several completed Disney projects including: Disney’s Grand Floridian Beach Resort at Walt Disney World, Florida; The Disneyland Paris Hotel; the Hong Kong Disneyland Hotel; and the Tokyo Disneyland Hotel, Japan."
Just wait 6 months then buy it for 170 resale lolI will reiterate that I'd love to see a Grand Hotel from Mackinac Island theme. Adirondack themeing might be interesting too. Or do a true Frank Lloyd Wright style.
However, by the time this is built, the price per point of DVC might well be $200. It will open about the time I might be able to afford DVC, but that kind of price might be too high.
