new info about Contemporary rehab.

[genxer27]

Sorry if this was already posted, but the latest word now on the Contemporary is that when it goes into rehab this October, the garden wings will be completely torn down and maybe rebuilt, but not as DVC villas.

What's your source?

We already had this topic going a while back...

Although I feel that unless there is structural damage to the Wings I don't see it happening and if it does not until October 2006 when the Disneyland stuff is over.

They do have a 'test' room set up in one of the Garden Wings for the new room rehab but still haven't gotten a green light for it.

I'm hearing that rehab is a go for the remodel for the rooms. Nothing about tearing anything down though.

Site your source please.

The reliable info I have heard is that 1 wing will be torn down, and rebuilt as villas.....of course, plans do change.

Does anyone know if you can actually stay in that test room? If its possible what is the number so it can be requested. I don't know about anybody else but I think the rehab should include a new bigger, more exotic pool. It's kind of lame that the moderates have cooler pools.

No, you cannot stay in the test room.

A CM who works for the Vacation club told me the garden wings would be torn down, and maybe rebuilt with more morden rooms. That's all I know for right now.

A CM whom is an Engineer told me that they would not be torn down...

this kind of shows the reliability (or lack of reliability) of CM info.......

With so many people working at one site, rumors can lead to all sorts of different stories....

He already explained (in broken English or really bad typing), he is selling all of the old stuff that is going to be gutted from the Contemporary through e-bay (I assume) starting in June.

As AHoyt said, it's his line of business to sell things WDW is getting rid of and it sounds like he'll be selling the stuff from the Contemporary.

Check out the following article on him:

I have to go with what MouseSurplus says. he sells WDW's leftover "junk" so he should know. That said, the quoted timeline seems awful tight to renovate 1000 rooms.

Anyone know if the "common areas" (restaurants, shops, lobby, etc) will get any new touches or updates?

I agree, also looking at how long the Polynesian Rehab is been going on I would think you need to had another 12 months to this time table as anything under 1 year for 1000 rooms is to much to hope for. With this time table it is 3 month or about 90 days which would be 11 rooms per day being finished. Last time I was at the All-Star Sports they where fixing a room that had been trashed (the only room with work) and my stay was 4 days and the room wasn't finished.
