"The Walt Disney Co.'s rapidly growing time-share division takes an aggressive step forward today when it unveils plans for two new resorts in Orlando -- even as Disney Vacation Club battles some of the strongest financial headwinds it has ever faced.
Disney this morning will formally reveal plans for its Bay Lake Tower at Disney's Contemporary Resort, confirming earlier reports that the 15-story tower rising just beyond the Magic Kingdom will be used for time shares. The company also will unveil plans to sell time shares at the Treehouse Villas at Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa, a secluded community of 60 units that is being rebuilt in a forested pocket of Walt Disney World."
Disney will command a premium price for that convenience. Lewis said prices at Bay Lake Tower will begin at $18,000 -- the most expensive starting point of any Vacation Club resort. Prices at Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas, which opened its first phase last year, begin just below $17,000.
The 60 elevated homes comprising the Treehouse Villas will be built as a new phase of the Saratoga Springs resort near Downtown Disney. A sales date and prices haven't yet been set.
The Treehouse Villas will open next summer. Bay Lake Tower will follow in the fall.
