    Less Epcot today - I mean, I've taken photos of all the other barriers (and lots of SE!) :)

    So the Grand Concourse is getting a giant store. I guess there's always room for retail at WDW, right?

    Are there any online concept drawings for the North side construction at the Contempo? I wonder what it's gonna look like.

    I've never been to WDW before (I'm going in 78 days). Seeing that picture of a walkway under spaceship earth sure gave me insight into the SIZE of the thing.

    Nemopoppins - hard to believe it's your first time (I have been going to WDW for 30 years now!) Spaceship Earth is huge, but really beautiful!

    Mickey Ring - I have not seen any concept photos for the (likely DVC) building, I bet they won't post anything until it's announced. There is concept art that I'd posted previously of the store, and also in the lobby.

    Disney building DVC at the Contemporary? What a joke, I'm sure they're just adding some extra parking and a new pin shack. ;-)

    the concept art from the architect was up here for a while when it was discovered, but those links have long since stopped working.

    I actually have 2 jpegs of the plans on my pc- but I do not have a web site to display them

    I know. It's almost like we're two spirits from different dimensions.

    But all I was saying was I believe you are jumping the gun on saying Disney is building some giant DVC timeshare building.

    After all, they haven't said they are. No press release. No story by Scott 'I write what the Mouse tells me to' Powers in the O-Sentinel.

    For all we know, they're just rehabbing the rooms in the North Garden Wing, right? Or possibly they're expanding the tennis center since so many of their guests are on fitness kicks! You just never know ;-)

    All you need to do is check out Screamscape.com ... go to their main WDW rumors page and scrawl down. You'll find what you seek there.

    A building in the shape of a dollar sign would be more appropriate lately.

    That's one heck of a rehab on the North Wing, isn't it.

    Thanks for the pictures as always Denise.

    I don't know, it kind of goes with the tower and it kind of doesn't. But I'm afraid it's too large and might diminish the grandeur of the original. Hmm, but if I can stay at the Contemporary yet afford a two bedroom suite like the other DVC sites, I might just overlook that.
