WDW: Vacation Club coming to Grand Floridian

Disney is expanding the Grand Floridian resort to include a Disney Vacation Club timeshare.

The new Vacation Club option will be across the Seven Seas Lagoon from the Bay Lake Tower at Disney’s Contemporary Resort, a timeshare Disney opened in August 2009. The expansion is expected to include 147 villas and will open in 2013, according to a Vacation Club news release USA Today posted on its website

“We continually look for ways to expand Disney Vacation Club by creating resort experiences that our members will love,” WESH-TV quoted Claire Bilby, senior vice president and general manager of Disney Vacation Club, as saying in a news release. “With the continued popularity of Bay Lake Tower at Disney’s Contemporary Resort, we are thrilled to offer our members and guests a new resort option along the monorail system with easy access to the Magic Kingdom Park, as well as a variety of shopping, dining and recreation experiences.”

The Grand Floridian, a Magic Kingdom resort, opened in 1988. The new Vacation Club will be located near the resort’s spa and the wedding pavilion.
