We spoke with our Guide today about a possible add-on for AKV. During the conversation, I mentioned the construction going on at the Contemporary, and asked straight out if that was DVC. She said she quite honestly did not have direct knowledge that it was DVC being built there, but she passed along an interesting story. A short while ago, a fellow Guide was late for a meeting at the Theatre center in Saratoga; this was around the time the models for the Animal Kingdom Villas were being opened to the public. Anyway, this guide arrived and the place was deserted. In addition to the AKV models, there was another door open, and it was of another COMPLETELY DIFFERENT model! It was not as heavily themed as AKV (that's all she would tell us). It has not been opened since then, and in fact Management was not happy when they heard it had been seen.
I know this all sounds very cloak and dagger, but in the past we've heard that the Guides often don't have confirmed knowledge of resorts until Management is ready to unveil them. So it sounds like there was a true peek behind the curtain here. If not for a Contemporary Resort Villa, maybe this was for a possible DisneyLand Villa? Oh, the possibilties!
