| De forme en U, cette nouvelle tour réservée aux membres du DVC prend la place des bâtiments (constitués seulement de 3 niveaux) les plus au nord du Contemporary ("North Garden Rooms"). Pour ceux qui ne savent pas ce qu'est le Disney Vacation Club: http://dvc.disney.go.com/dvc/index?bhcp=1 Une photo récente des travaux:

| c'est le time share disney, ça fonctionne avec des points, ça te coute environ 10 000€ à l'achat qui te donne droit à des points que tu échanges contre des nuits à disneyworld dans des hôtels DVC comme le Boardwalk ou des nuits dans le monde entier; tu peux aussi les revendre ou les stocker deux ans.
Ton contrat est valable plusieurs années (je crois une cinquantaine) tu peux le revendre, si tu meurs il est transmis à tes héritiers.
le seul point négatif à mon avis c'est les frais annuels d'entretien qui tournent autour des 800 dollars.
ça peut être rentable mais ça dépend de ton mode de vie. |

| j'ai fait le "tour" (façon de parler) de la "tour" en bateau et non seulement c'est à mon sens pas très joli et peu thématisé mais cela va être l'enfer niveau accoustique dans le sens ou la tour est un demi-cercle ouvert sur le lac Bay Lake avec 2 ou 3 piscines au milieu dont le son va faire caisse de résonance sur les 15 étages de la chose.
Niveau esthétique, cela aura peu de personalité, il ont tout de même fait un rappel des bandes blanches séparant les étages du contemporary avec celles de la tour.
Autre gros bémol auquel je n'avais pas pensé mais que j'ai découvert avec un cm du california grill. Le flux de guests venant du Kingdom Tower vers le Contemporary va saturer le monorail express. Disney espère que ces guests iront à pieds au magic kingdom (5 minutes il est vrai) mais la passerelle et le cote "magique" du monorail va les pousser à l'utiliser. Vu que Kingdom Tower = 1,5 contemporary en capacité de chambre, cela promet....
Apparemment d'après ce cm (qui est là depuis 1971), on ne peut pas ajouter de monorail sur la ligne au risque de la saturer pour respecter les distances de sécurité.
Voili vilou, je suis rentré ce matin en France |

| S'ils veulent que les guests aillent à pieds au MK, il leut faut optimiser le chemin et le rendre extrèmement agréable. Pour ma part je ne me rappelle pas l'avoir pris, donc je ne sais pas ce qu'il en est, mais si je suis au contemporary, et que j'ai le choix de prendre le monorail... ben je le prends sauf si je dois attendre 15 minutes! |

| Des rumeurs indiquent qu'un troisième bâtiment sera construit à terme sous la forme d'un cube. On aura ainsi les trois formes angulaires, ronde, et cubique et c'est ça l'idée de départ... mais bon c'est à prendre avec des pincettes.

- Disney's time-share kingdom grows
Jason Garcia | Sentinel Staff Writer September 16, 2008
The Walt Disney Co.'s rapidly growing time-share division takes an aggressive step forward today when it unveils plans for two new resorts in Orlando -- even as Disney Vacation Club battles some of the strongest financial headwinds it has ever faced.
Disney this morning will formally reveal plans for its Bay Lake Tower at Disney's Contemporary Resort, confirming earlier reports that the 15-story tower rising just beyond the Magic Kingdom will be used for time shares. The company also will unveil plans to sell time shares at the Treehouse Villas at Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa, a secluded community of 60 units that is being rebuilt in a forested pocket of Walt Disney World.
The twin announcements ensure that Celebration-based Disney Vacation Club, which has grown to nine resorts and more than 350,000 members, will have more time shares for sale in 2009 than it has ever had before.
Company executives say they are confident of strong demand for their newest resorts despite the slumping U.S. economy, which has eroded consumer spending and made financing for big-ticket purchases such as time shares harder to obtain.
"What we're trying to do, particularly with the resorts that we build on site [at Walt Disney World], is really provide something that's unique, something that you can't get any other place in Central Florida -- and, really, in the world," said Jim Lewis, president of Disney Vacation Club. "With these two resorts, we believe we've done that."
The company is especially optimistic about the roughly 300-unit Bay Lake Tower, which will be linked to the iconic Contemporary Resort by a fifth-floor pedestrian bridge and will feature the first time shares Disney has ever sold within walking distance of the Magic Kingdom theme park. Sales will begin Sunday, with first crack going to existing Vacation Club owners.
"We think it's going to do very, very well," Lewis said. "That is a premium location . . . right across the street -- literally -- from our flagship park."
Disney will command a premium price for that convenience. Lewis said prices at Bay Lake Tower will begin at $18,000 -- the most expensive starting point of any Vacation Club resort. Prices at Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas, which opened its first phase last year, begin just below $17,000.
The 60 elevated homes comprising the Treehouse Villas will be built as a new phase of the Saratoga Springs resort near Downtown Disney. A sales date and prices haven't yet been set.
The Treehouse Villas will open next summer. Bay Lake Tower will follow in the fall.
Although different in size and theme, Disney says both resorts share a similar heritage.
The Contemporary, which was just the second hotel to open at Walt Disney World, is one of the park's most recognizable monuments, with its mammoth, A-frame structure straddling the resort's monorail. The Treehouses have stood in a quiet corner of the park since 1975, used at various times as hotel rooms, Disney Institute housing, and dorms for international student-employees.
Design challenges
When designers first set to work on blueprints for an addition to the Contemporary, concepts ranged from copies of the main hotel to a "George Jetson"-like theme, said Bill Hanus, director of development at Walt Disney Imagineering. But they worried about constructing a building that could be seen as competing with the original. They opted instead to build a crescent-shaped tower, hoping the Bay Lake Tower's curved architecture will complement the angular Contemporary. There are touches of symmetry: Exterior grooves marking each floor are aligned in both buildings, and a rooftop lounge on the Bay Lake Tower matches the California Grill restaurant on top of the Contemporary.
Inside, designers have made sure to emphasize the views that they hope will ultimately make Bay Lake Tower one of Disney Vacation Club's most sought-after resorts. Rooms will contain nearly wall-length windows that open to views of the Magic Kingdom or Bay Lake. Some bathrooms will even have sliding walls allowing guests to watch fireworks while soaking in tubs.
"It feels like a Tomorrowland building," Hanus said, alluding to the section of the Magic Kingdom that the tower overlooks.
Saving trees
Each of the new Treehouse Villas has been manufactured in sections at a factory in Wingate, Pa., and they are being installed by cranes that lift them over existing treetops. That approach will allow Disney to build modern, 1,200-square-foot homes without damaging the lush, campsite feel that many Disney fans recall, said Jim Durham, vice president of resort projects for Imagineering.
Disney Vacation Club is now scheduled to have space in four time-share resorts for sale in 2009, with Bay Lake Tower and the Treehouse Villas joining the Animal Kingdom Villas and the upcoming Villas at Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa at Disneyland in California. It will be the first time the company has had four resorts for sale at once. Disney is also in the early stages of developing a roughly 800-room resort in Hawaii that will include both time shares and hotel rooms.
"It's certainly going to be challenging," said Jeremy Glaser, a lodging industry analyst with the research firm Morningstar Inc. "I think they'll find buyers, just not at the same speed as they were before."
But Lewis said Disney's investment in Bay Lake Tower and the Treehouse Villas demonstrate its confidence that its time-share business will remain strong.
"During tough economic times, people are really a little bit more receptive to a message regarding how you can save money on future vacations," Lewis said. "Clearly, we're not recession-proof. But we are recession-resilient."

| J'ai assisté à cet event hier (y'a plusieurs soirées). Il faut savoir qu'il est principalement destiné à nous faire adhérer au Disney Vacation Club donc tu auras le droit pendant plus d'une heure à une espèce de conférence présentant le DVC (avec quelques cadeaux) trèèèèèèèèèèèès disney (on revenait d'Universal, j'avous que c'était très violent) limite sectaire ^^ (mais bon, c'est Disney hein, spécialiste du bourage de crane, surtout aux USA:D) . Ensuite un espèce de buffet Meet and Greet avec les personnages, puis une visite d'une ou deux chambres du nouveau batîment (où on peut surtout acheter direct l'adhésion au DVC).
Pour ma part, même si l'extérieur n'a pas de charme (enfin c'est pas pire que le Contemporary hein) j'ai trouvé les chambres vraiment magnifiques!! J'ai pas pris de photos par contre. |
