Walt Disney World unveiled plans Thursday to develop 1,350 acres of its vast property, including a massive luxury resort in a partnership with Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts. Disney also plans to build up to 5,000 value-priced hotel rooms on 450 acres around the first formal western gateway to the park, built to serve new highway access there.

I thought I had heard that they were starting work on the other half of the pop century resort? I am not sure why they are going to add a value priced hotel, if there going to continue work on pop.
Here are some more pictures and info on the project.http://allears.net/news/hnews0307.htm
"On the western edge of the resort, Disney is planning a mixed-use retail, dining and lodging district just outside Walt Disney World Resort’s western entrance. Early development plans include:-4,000 - 5,000 low- to mid-rise valued-priced lodging units
-300,000 - 500,000 square feet of commercial space, including restaurants, shopping and small-scale entertainment"
Wow! Even Disney sees value in developing property for 'mixed-use' purposes. They just don't have to sell off any of their parks to make it happen.
