They are the support pilings for the aerial walkway that is being built to attach the Contemporary to the new DVC tower.

Glass but no class

The real question is what are the clearing land for to the northwest of the main tower? That is definitely not in the concept drawings and looks like more than just repaving. Anyone know more? PS- Don't know who the photog is but the pictures are a great montage of the site. Thanks!

They look quite high!

It is also worth noting that brighter lights are being installed along the side of the A-frame. They are about halfway through the Magic Kingdom side. Take a look if you're in area, they are noticeably different.

The walkway mounts about halfway up the piles. The architects rendering is floating around somewhere where you can see it.

so is it safe to say it will dump out in the DVC about on floor 4ish?

I stood out there and counted, it looks to be the 5th floor.

interesting... but i guess they dont want the walkway dropping 5 floors to the ground of DVC since who likes stairs.

It is quite possible that the 5th floor of the new building lines up with the 4th floor of the main tower. The DVC will probably call the 1st floor the "ground floor" and the floor above it the "1st floor" so that at the walkway level it will be the "4th floor" in each building so nobody gets confused. Hope that makes sense :lookaroun

Yeah, every angle I've scruntinized it from, that looks to be the case.

It will be confusing no matter what.

Ok someone fill me in, does this tower "exist" according to Disney yet? Or is it still unofficial that they are building a DVC tower?

Unofficial still.
