Disney Resort in DC??

[SunshineGirl]

Did anyone watch the video at the bottom of the forum? It just happened to catch my eye. Looks like Disney might be building a resort in DC. That seems kind of weird.... Wonder if it will be a new DVC? Or just a hotel? Or conference space??

This was just on our local news a few minutes ago that Disney had purchased land in Maryland...maybe this is what you heard?

Walt Disney Co. has purchased land for a 500-room hotel at the National Harbor development in Prince George's County.

Disney and the Peterson Companies, the developer of National Harbor, announced the $11 million acquisition Tuesday. The companies say the project being considered for the 15-acre parcel is not a theme park.

Rather, it is one in a new line of stand-alone "resort hotels," the first of which is under construction in Hawaii.

Disney's move to Washington's tourism market comes more than a decade after the company canceled plans to build a theme park near the Manassas, Va., Civil War battlefield.

That's exactly what it is. Isn't the one in Hawaii DVC?

yes it is....they don't say this one in Maryland is but I bet it is? This new one would be a lot closer to where I live but no Mickey, horrors!! I need the theme park!

The one in Hawaii is a mix of hotel and DVC. I imagine this one would be the same.
