Is it an already exisyting resort that members can share their points with?

Dvc
It is my understanding that in 2007 they will remove the west garden wing at the Contemp and begin to build a new DVC on that location.

No. I hope not. The DVC is cool and all but how many rooms will they need? Saratoga Springs is so big, do they need more?

I am guessing that they will keep building them as long as they continue to sell well. They really are a win win win for Disney. Members buy into the resort covering the construction costs, pay maintenance fee to keep the resort running, and then come down to Disney a lot and spend more money in the parks.MartyMouse said:
Of course as a member with points in Wilderness Lodge and Saratoga Springs I am very guilty of doing just this.

Hehe, it'd be kinda hard to do considering the Contemporary only has North and South garden wings
All kidding aside, I think they'd have made the announcement for the change-over already, as the building was already closed for rehab for some time now, but Disney works in strange ways.

Well, there are the "real" DVC properties at WDW, which are nice (Old Key West, Saratoga Springs, Beach Club Villas, Boardwalk Villas, Wilderness Lodge Villas and i'm thinking i forgot one or two..) plus the two not on site (Hilton Head Island and Vero Beach Resort). All the other properties arent owned by Disney but DVC folks can use their points to stay there through an agreement within the companies.

DVC is a good investment. And once a particular DVC resort is sold on all possible "ownerships" there has to be a great supply of rooms.

I don't know how credible this info. is, but in July, a bus driver was talking about how they would eventually tear down Port Orleans to put in a new vacation club.

Don't forget that the monorail will be going to it.

Ya seriously, I am getting sick of the rumors bus drivers start. It is really silly and ridiculous.

I have heard that they are building a DVC ski resort in Germany. I read it was coming in a DVC info book Disney sent us. Did they ever follow through with it?

There are already existing resorts in Hawaii and Germany that we can use our Disney points, just like we would at a DVC resort. But I highly doubt that they're going to build a DVC resort in Hawaii or Germany. The whole point of DVC is to give guests the option of "owning" a piece of Disney.
As for the DVC in the Contemporary, it's pretty much a done deal. They're doing the construction, and there's a DVC info booth in the Contemporary concourse trying to sell it to people. As for Port Orleans, I doubt they're going to tear it down to build a DVC. First of all, that would leave them with only two moderate resorts on property. That's not really enough. Secondly, that would put three DVC resorts in a row (OKW, SS, and PO). I would think they'd try to spread out more across the property. That's why the Contemporary makes sense...there's no DVC resort in the MK area yet.
