HAS ANY ONE HEARD THIS ONE


I read this on another site. and I confirmed on earthviewer that there is some land grading going on behind Caribbean Beach.

The rumor says that there is another hotel going up (behind CBR just south of the current resort) and that its part of the bonnett creek developement. The rumor says that this peice of land does not belong to disney. I looked at some old maps and there is a strip of land that seems to be on that parcel that is outside the drawen border of WDW property.

I thought that Disney bought up some of the smaller leftover parcels over the years to define the borders more with the Highways in that area.

Any way if this is true then they would have to use WDW roads to access the site. does any cast member know of this.

Fantasia Boi this is one for you I belive to clear this one up

Bonnet Creek to get Fairfield time shares
By Todd Pack
Sentinel Staff Writer

June 27, 2002

Orlando-based Fairfield Resorts Inc. said Wednesday it will be the first company to built at the 480-acre Bonnet Creek Resort, which is bordered on three sides by Walt Disney World.

Fairfield said it will buy 46 acres from Bonnet Creek Venture Ltd. for a 744-unit time-share resort.

The deal is expected to close on Oct. 1. Construction will start in 2003, and the Fairfield Orlando at Bonnet Creek should open in June 2004.

Fairfield's agreement with Bonnet Creek gives the company an option to buy a second 12-acre parcel that can accommodate another 350 units.Franz Hanning, Fairfield's president and chief executive, called Bonnet Creek "the area's premier location for resort development."

Bonnet Creek is between Interstate 4 and Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort. Fairfield's resort will be accessible from Buena Vista Drive, which runs across Disney property.

That location should give Fairfield an edge in Central Florida's competitive time-share market, Hanning said, but its toughest competition could come from Disney itself.

Disney has announced plans to replace a quarter of its Disney Institute resort with 192 time-share units. Disney's Beach Club Villas time-share complex is scheduled to open July 1.
