    Kingdom Tower... Gotta Love It

    High-rise will ultimately contain 281 units, but there's no rush to sell.

    The Magic Kingdom -- despite rampant speculation among Disney fans that it is destined for time shares.

    A spokeswoman for the company's time-share division, Disney Vacation Club, would not discuss the project in detail again Monday.

    "We don't have anything to announce today," spokeswoman Diane Hancock said.

    But in new filings with the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation, Disney formally states that the Disney Vacation Club will "add a ninth component site to be known as Kingdom Tower at Disney's Contemporary Resort."

    Disney says in the documents that it will sell the time shares in phases, beginning with an initial 75 units. The Kingdom Tower, which will connect to the existing Contemporary via a fifth-floor pedestrian bridge, will ultimately contain 281 units, according to the filings.

    Really great name for this DVC. It makes me want to stay there. Originally, I was disappointed that the Contemporary DVC wouldn't be in the Canyon, but this sweetens the deal.

    I was at WDW this weekend and all the news outlets were reporting similar items, that paperwork had been filed with the state for those newly built units to be time-shares. But "unofficially" DVC said that they won't be releasing them until AK Lodge units are closer to being sold-out. Now I just have to convince my husband we really need to invest in this in a couple of years

    It definitely makes me consider being a DVC member if there was one on the monorail system! Yeah!

    I missed this last week. Can't believe they finally confirmed it after denying it for so long. I'd love this to be my home resort.
