Walt's Apartment, and a WDW Club 33?

[Skipper Dan]

Just for my own curiosity, thought I'd ask y'all, 'cause this is just one thing that has eluded me.

I know the space in Cinderella Castle was supposedly for Walt's WDW apartment, but look at the WDW Firehouse... there has to be some room up there. Also, it looks like that tower, could house an elevator shaft. Does anyone know if he had plans to put another apartment there?

Also, where there ever any ideas for a WDW version of Club 33? I cant think of where it'd have gone, since we have no New Orleans square. I can't even think of an area with a second story, except Main Street, and now that I think about it, could it have been there? I mean, it's always looked like there was space up there. When I was a kid, I even noticed the studs and framing, through the windows.

Anybody know?

The space in Cinderella castle wasn't specifically for Walt; he was long dead before those plans were started. It had been intended as a generic "Disney family" space, but I think Roy's sudden death and the general crazyness that followed kept it on the back burner indefinitely.

I think Walt Disney World didn't get a single Club 33-type space because it was designed with several small corporate lounges scattered throughout the parks that could serve similar purposes.
