Considering the source is valid, that's what it sounds like. Contemporary just got BLT and the tropical hint was clearly ruling out the Polynesian.
However, like always, it is our duty to approach this with caution. Thanks for posting, and keep us updated! :wave:

Leemac over at LaughingPlace indicated that a proposal for a Grand Floridian DVC was being looked at, though I'm almost positive we'll see another one before that.
The only person claiming the source is valid is you and the original poster. We have no way of knowing if what he said was true or not.
The rumors floating around for a new DVC surround the River Country area, where what appeared to be buildings jutting out into the bay were included in a permit. According to other permits, there have been (and will be) modifications to the Fort Wilderness site, perhaps to accomodate a new timeshare resort. There are already survey flags in the waters of Bay Lake, and the project is reportedly greenlit.
For a resort to be built on the monorail, it would have to be built on the plot of land between the Transportation and Ticket Center and Contemporary. This piece of land is quite large, and was previously going to be the site of Disney's Venetian Resort and Disney's Mediterranean Resort. The former was canceled due to the oil crisis of the 70's, with the latter being shelved either due to a case of "negative skin friction", reportedly making it prohibitively expensive to build, or that the Med resort was part of a plan to add two five-star resorts to Walt Disney World - The Grand Floridian and the Mediterranean. When the Grand Floridian never reached five-star status, they decided to scrap the Mediterranean concept.
Personally, I'd much rather see a resort built between the TTC/Contemporary rather than Fort Wilderness, but that's just me.

I hope its not true. They have enough resorts right now. Why not focus on the parks rather than the resorts. ugh. =/ its like everything in wdw is a lost cause now.

There's always the spur that goes to the maintenance barn. I'm Sure there's plenty of room out there. It would be a mechanic's and engineers dream resort!!

You completely misread what I wrote...I said "CONSIDERING THE SOURCE IS VALID" as in 'well hey if this guys telling the truth then one could assume blank". I wasnt impling validity, only theorizing...my post was prettyyyy clear

I would disagree. I read "Considering the source is valid" as "Considering that the source is valid". To me and probably most others, that gets translated to "Since I think the source is valid". Maybe you could have said "Depending upon the validity of the source."

How about a DVC resort on the Epcot monorail line between TTC and Epcot - The EPCOT Monorail Line DVC resort. :lol:

I misread your post then, but in all honesty your post was not very clear. If you had said "If the source is valid" instead of "considering the source is valid", you would not be implying that his post was factual. It's just a case of words sounding right in your head but having completely different tonality and use when read by a random person over the internet; it happens to me all of the time.

As a couple others have said, I also interpreted your phrase as meaning "considering that the source is valid", or in other words "since the source is valid, therefore..." No biggie, but it's apparently a case of a phrase meaning one thing in your mind and another in everyone else's mind. :wave:
As far as the topic at hand, I remember reading a while back that there is a DVC wing planned for the Grand Floridian. The only places I can think of that I would have read such a rumor are these forums, or possibly the "Orlando Attractions" magazine. But regardless of the source, I can verify that I have at least read talk of a Grand Floridian DVC wing. Whether that info is accurate or not is another issue.
As far as the plot of ground originally planned for the meditteranean resort, isn't that the piece of ground that had an issue with the pillars sinking into the ground or something, such that they had to scrap the project?
