Last week Disney blogger Jim Hill posted a look back at some original resort concepts for the Bay Lake / Seven Seas Lagoon area which never came to be. Among the once-planned projects was the Venetian Resort penciled-in for a plot of land between Disney’s Polynesian Resort and (what is now) Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort. However this land has proved numerous times to be too unstable for construction on the scale of a new resort hotel.
Citing a “pretty reliable source” DVC resale broker Shontell Crawford, appearing on Lou Mongello’s The WDW Radio Show podcast, indicated that the forthcoming construction at the Disney’s Contemporary Resort will not be DVC villas. Despite the concept art that has been posted frequently on the Internet and rampant rumors on Disney message boards, the unnamed source insists that any construction project slated for the site of the North Garden Wing will not be a Disney Vacation Club development.
The following snapshots were taken the morning of February 14, 2007 from the resort monorail.
