I live in Hot Springs Arkansas. I hadn't heard of any disney theme park rumors. However, I was talking with a couple of representatives in our legislature and they informed me that there were wispers of disney buying property near the branson area in missouri for their DVC resorts. They apparently are trying to make the DVC more attractive by offering different areas to vacation in.
About 10 years ago I had heard from a worker at Silver Dollar City that disney would be building a FRONTIER LAND theme park around there, but as all rumors go....i took it with a grain of salt. 10 years later, no theme park.

I would doubt DVC would build anything of their own at Branson. Having been to Branson, which I do enjoy (even at my young age :lookaroun ), I dont think DVC would build in a market that targets a small age range. Much of Bransons popularity is from 50 and older and tour groups. I could definately see them partnering with a Branson area resort and offering it as an option to exchange points for.hansel1 said:

DVC had a hard time selling out the two resorts that are not on WDW property (Hilton Head and Vero Beach). The greatest chance for a non WDW DVC resort would be at Disneyland, but even that is a longshot.

Do a search on Google and you'll get a couple of different articles mentioning this. Looks like most of these articles are all over a year old so maybe nothing ever came of the whole Disney tours thing?

Anyone on here ever go on one of these Disney tours and can give us any more info?

The scenic beauty of The Natural State appeals to travelers from all over the country. As a result, tourism is a major factor in the state's economy. Travel and tourism expenditures in Arkansas amount to over $3.9 billion each year, contributing over $300 million in state and local taxes. Annual visitation exceeds 19.9 million travelers, providing direct employment for some 57,600 Arkansans, with an additional 27,600 working in support services.

[/quote]Don't discount the idea of Disney going to Arkansas. The way Wal Mart is taking over the world. . . it could buy the Disney Co. and put a Magic Kingdom in every city with lower prices!

Glad you agree. It's very obvious where their ideas came from.
I heard they bought land in Southern Missouri near the Ark line. Can't imagine them building there. :brick:
