That's not correct. @ParentsOf4 probably has the data, but WDW resorts have been near or above 90% capacity for awhile now. That's considered "fully occupied" in the industry due to the difficulty of coordinating check-in and check-out days. It's a lot easier to fill Saturday nights than Wednesday nights.
Only by idiots that don't know any better. Disney isn't trying to trick anyone with their room occupancy level as some have indicated. You don't spend millions of dollars on new hotels that won't have guests in them. We may not like everything that TWDC does, but stupid they are not.
So with the "new" Disney seeming to prefer to go vertical, existing space in parking areas could be utilized, no? And an Kidana type parking structure or a full parking ramp could replace existing parking lots, no?
DVC is confirmed in area taken away from CBR. But per spirit, it will not be under the umbrella of CBR.
Not cool. It's still too soon to be making jokes about that horrible tragedy.Ooooh! I hope they have one themed around Alderaan...

As other have stated that problem is just hyped by people here and not based on any factual evidence.
I am going to go out on a limb and say that Star Wars is the most popular IP that has ever existed. If there was ever an IP that needed its own hotel it is Star Wars.
I believe Martin also said that their is a few proposals for DVC right now, and none are a definite. Just different proposals for what would come after WL. Disney has not confirmed anything yet, and my money is on their is no definite answer yet either.
As much of a success that I also believe a Star Wars themed hotel could be, I also don't agree that they will do it now. They will get the visitors from the Star Wars fan base in two years whether they build the hotel or not. If they wait, say till the push for star wars land calms down (not saying it becomes unpopular, but just till the monster crowds it created start to go away), and then build a star wars resort, it gives a whole new reason for that huge fan base to come back, creating a second bang. It's just like spacing out multiple rides or lands...you don't want to come out with too much at one time. If you space it out, then the same people will be making multiple trips, rather than them making one trip to see both.
Yeah, next thing you know will have an Adventureland Resort, a Tomorrowland Resort, a Main St. Resort, and a Frontierland Resort. Heck they'd probably put a monorail station at 3 of the 4.
As long as they don't then turn them into Moderate, Deluxe or DVC. There needs to be Value resorts of some sort, or young families and not so rich folks will never be able to enjoy WDW.
