New Disney sponsored hotel?

[loveofamouse]

A friend just asked me this:

"Do you know anything about the Disney Resort set to open at National Harbor? I literally drive by the site daily (it is walking distance from my house) and see they have broken ground, but there's no other info"

I told her I'd ask my "panel" of "experts"

According to some people Disney have put the site on hold while they test the concept of a off site developmental in Hawaii but Disney have "plans at National Harbor would include a 500-room hotel on 15 acres that it has purchased for $11 million."

They are also waiting on the economy to pick up as well.

The concept has already been tested; Disney Vacation Club runs resorts in Vero Beach FL and Hilton Head, SC. And Hawaii is also a DVC property. It's probably more to do with the economy than anything else.

Last I heard once Hawaii is done they will move forward with National Harbor. :shrug:
