Do you mean DVC added to an existing resort or a new resort built with DVC units as part of it?

Based on past rumors, I'm thinking that's the case... it is nearby.

LOL thats an ironic statement considering California has an enormous water crisis to the point where Disney was even looking at shutting down the Submarine Voyage permanently (instead they shut it down for a year and donated the water to the city).
And now that I mentioned it its going to be very sad in 20-30 years when global water shortages get so great that almost all water elements will be removed from Disneyland/Walt Disney World
. Grim stuff to think about.
Yeah, perhaps I should have worded it better. We were shocked seeing Lake Meade from the air and finding out why it was like that. Being tourists and all. And that was six years ago.

Huh? The submarines closed in January, 2014 for a refurbishment that was drawn out by Michael Colglazier as a labor savings while they tried to figure out where to put Star Wars Land (Autopia/Subs lost, Backstage won).
Disney sent the submarine lagoon water to the county waste water system like it always does, but with the countywide water system that uses the natural aquifer that stretches from north Anaheim to Newport Beach almost all waste water is cycled through there anyway. When I flush the toilet in my Villa Park home it goes to a treatment plant then is sent underground to the aquifer just like Disneyland's waste water, and a decade later it filters to Newport Beach where it's extracted and the process begins again.
That's not something Disney did to be nice, or to save water, that's just how the Southern California coastal plain has always worked. Even before humans arrived and built theme parks.
California water restrictions, which never impacted Disneyland anyway (nor did it impact my water district a few miles to the east), were lifted last month. As someone who lived through California's 1977-78 drought, the 2014-15 drought pailed in comparison and personal sacrifice. Although with today's idiotic clickbait journalism, I can understand how someone who doesn't live in California would think it was some huge deal. It wasn't.
And if Disney really was that concerned about wasting water for whatever reason it would stop atomizing a hundred thousand gallons into the air per night at each World of Color show.
All that said, the latest Star Wars Land artwork is taking some artistic license with the adjacent Rivers of America. As @marni1971 has so nicely informed us, the water situation will be different for the DHS version.

Maybe in a 3rd World Country, but water is readily available in America as long as you can afford it. That doesn't mean we should waste it, but unless there is a drought, and even then there's not much reason to worry long term. We do need to stop so much pollution for the long run, but it really is nothing to worry about for a consumer, or Disneyland, in the United States.

With all the flooding we have had in South Carolina in the last year, maybe California can come get some from us.

You're not wrong.
DHS will get greenery. Only new water is at Pandora.

I think he is commenting on how the thread has gone off topic. I gave up trying to keep threads on topic a long time ago.
