Kingdom Tower official announcement

The Walt Disney Co. has won approval to begin selling time shares in a 15-story tower the company is erecting next to its famed Contemporary Resort, a $110 million addition that Disney has named "The Kingdom Tower."

Just to clarify - this is not an official announcement.

Quote:
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.
However, the filings confirm this is a done deal and the official announcement should be forthcoming.

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."
This is from the same article, so I guess in a round-about way it has been formally announced. They just haven't done the "bells and whistles" roll out.

I can hardly wait for Disney to finally make this official. It will be wonderful to have a monorail resort added to the roster of DVC offerings.

Hopefully soon there will be an official announcement on what I think is being seen as Disney's worst kept secret!
