Boy, do I need a $17,900 raise, quick…
Two big announcements on the DVC front today – the widely anticipated Bay Lake Tower at Disney’s Contemporary Resort and the hush-hush little secret that apparently was the Treehouse Villas at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa. Both are scheduled for completion in 2009 (Bay Tower in the fall and Treehouse Villas in the summer), with the Treehouse Villas adding 60 new units to Saratoga Springs and Bay Tower adding a whopping 295 rooms to the Contemporary, and this I just noticed – Bay Tower will also feature a covered bridge that will connect it back to the main Contemporary building for monorail and concourse access. The concept art for both properties that Disney has offered up is very impressive!
More concept art, photos, and all sorts of details for each can be found over at AllEars.Net:

And unlike the Four Seasons deal, I’m pretty excited about this for a couple of reasons. 1) This introduces two very unique new properties to Disney World’s resort offerings; and 2) more importantly, sometime in the next couple of years is going to be when Sara and I will likely be buying into the Disney Vacation Club … and man, are we going to have a tough time making a selection now!
Let’s see…
- Disney’s Animal Kingdom Villas – watch animals right from your balcony
- Disney’s Beach Club Villas – walking distance to Epcot for Food & Wine, plus Stormalong Bay
- Bay Lake Tower at Disney’s Contemporary Resort – watch Wishes while soaking in the Jacuzzi tub in your room
- Treehouse Villas @ Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa – the drawings just look plain cool
I certainly don’t look forward to the ease of making that decision one bit, but fortunately at least for now I can rest knowing that said decision is still a good $17,000 away. That is, unless somebody wanted to get us a really nice wedding gift…
