So if this third tower is not going to remove Mini Golf, where abouts would this tower go?

Unless they're putting the hotel on top of a podium parking garage, eliminating the mini golf, or adding parking somewhere else and having some sort of transport to said lot, that parcel doesn't appear to be large enough for a tower. Granted, I've been wrong before and several people on here appear to have inside information.

That is going to be REALLY tight.
Yep. Personally I think it's overdevelopment.
Maybe they'll take the golf course after all. Maybe TWDC will put a stop to it.

I really dislike this... it would seem like it'll really loom over the area with that small footprint. I honestly don't mind S&D right now, but this would be pretty bad.
Hope it ends up just flaming out.
I can't go into detail but the scale of the proposal wouldn't be insignificant to the local area. It does speak of cramming it into a small space.
There were separate proposals to realign the Resort Blvd but from what I saw of that it still wouldn't give more room for this tower.

That seems like a very small area for a new tower right?

Without saying more than you'd like, can you confirm that you still believe it to be hotel space of some sort and not a car park as Jim Hill stated?

I heard this was for cast member parking. Just a rumour though.

I can't imagine the mini golf going since they are closing down the one course for a refurb. On the other hand adding a third tower and not bulldozing the mini golf doesn't make all that much sense to me. Relocating the mini golf doesn't seem like it would be a huge expense. Somewhere by the Springs would be a ideal location for the mini golf.

Seems like they could fill in the water retention pond, which they'd just somewhere else, build a hotel tower and a parking garage and it'd be enough room. It wouldn't be a sprawling resort like the Swan or Dolphin, but it would fit.

I feel like they could have better put their resources on this project towards a new stand-alone resort and not trying to squeeze extra rooms in here. I forget what the percentage of land that is still undeveloped is property-wide (I know it always surprises me when I hear it), but I would think that long term, a new resort would make more financial sense.

I can see the appeal of it, though: A "deluxe" hotel gets built in the Epcot resort complex with water taxi access to Epcot and DHS. On the other hand, yeah, it seems like if it is a hotel that they have a lot of other choices for places to build it.
Maybe it's a contract thing, as has been mentioned before, in that the deal that was made for S&D allows them one more hotel but only in a specific spot or they'd prefer this spot to keep them together. - Just a wild guess.

If this is another Tower with more beds, the Epcot area is getting very crowded, especially for its reliance on the FriendShip boats...which do not carry as many Guests nor move as fast as a bus.
Yacht, Beach, Beach Villas, BoardWalk Inn, BW Villas, Swan, Dolphin, new tower. That is a lot of people using the transport, which I feel is already being over used and crazy crowded.
Interesting thoughts tho
