They are being bull dozed one by one, in fact, i saw it happening right before my eyes. even snapped a pic of a pile of what used to be a tree house. The boat driver said the old ones are being torn down and being replaced on the same foot print with a three bedroom model to become DVC.

3	RoadTrip Tue 5/20/2008 7:25p	Yup. Long term there will be two kinds of resorts at WDW. DVC resorts and Value resorts. :-)

I think there are only 60 units there, and I bet there will be a very high demand for them. Anyway, it gets rid of an eyesore. I wonder if they will build a boat dock there now, and make it part of the boat stops for DTD?

7	MPierce Wed 5/21/2008 4:58p	Thanks for the info GalDisney. It only makes since to put one in there. I understand they were actually able to increase the footage of wetlands in the area, and that was the major issue in getting a permit to reconstruct the Villas there.
