DisFlan said:I'm not sure how they could be significantly smaller than BCV, BWV et al, and still be considered "villas". I'm assuming CRVs will be fairly high points because of location, and I wouldn't want to use mega points for a smaller "villa-ette" - even though it would be the CR.
I agree with you about the smaller units. We like the space of a 1- or 2-BR, as well as the convenience of a washer/dryer and a dishwasher. I read somewhere on these boards that a DVC at CR may just have studios, which would be disappointing for us. On the other hand, when we heard about a DVC at the Beach Club, DH and I looked down that narrow space between the BC and Epcot and thought "no way, unless they're just smaller units", but Disney found a way.

My sentiments exactly!
DisFlan said:As for the "Persian" resort (or Venetian or whatever it was), I think I read that they DIDN'T build it because of ground problems. But that might just be another rumor.DisFlan
On an early map of WDW, the Venetian was supposed to go on the piece of land between the CR and the TTC, and I've heard they weren't able to build a stable foundation there, but DH believes it could be done. The Persian was supposed to go north of the CR where the monorail spur leads (east of the MK). The Asian was supposed to go where the Grand Floridian is now -- same site, different theme. Someone posted a copy of that map here on the boards but I'm not sure where. I'll try to find it for you.
