The CR lobby is changing a bit again - the coffee house appears to be under construction, and The Wave area that is blocked is further into the lobby.

Great update, Denise. Thanks.

What contstruction was started first the AKV or BLT? It is interesting to see the similarity in styles between the two. Both semic circles. I wonder if the interiors will be similar also.

Thanks for the pictures Denise. Awesome as always.

Great photos! Thanks for sharing. Construction is really moving along since I last saw any pics.

I wonder if they are now at the top of the tower formally known as KT? It looks like there is indents in the balconies on the top floor were there could possibly be a two story window for a grand villa. Hummm.... If this is the case, I didn't see the same indents in the side toward the CR building.

I'm counting 14 floors. Do we know how many floors this is going to be??

[Laxmom]

Wow, great eyes! Would that not be something to have the GV's be on the top floor!! I may be behind the curve on this because you guys seem to be on the leading edge with some great info.

Any more info on the Tree houses?

[Lisa]

Spicycat's brother (or some sort of relation) saw the plans and had told her there were GV's covering the top floor. I think it may be wise on DVC's part if they do not have GV's facing the CR. There would be lots of hot and heavy discussions at the front desk at check in when someone paying GV prices with expectations of watching wishes from the balcony gets to view the giant toaster instead.

[Laxmom]

That's great information. I can only imagine how sought after those would be!!!
I love the giant toaster tag. That is exactly what it reminds me of.

Of the 14 floors what is DVC? Sorry if this is redundant. I have been under a rock. You guys have great info!!!

Great pics as always Denise!

Anyone know when T-Rex is officially slated to open? My DS would go WILD over it and if it's open in time, I might consider a change in the master plan for our September trip! :tongue:

[Laxmom]

Ok, well remember that rock? I have to ask, what is TRex? It looked so cool in the pictures. I am so sorry to ask so many questions. This is new news to me. See, I am in exile from that other Disney board and I sure don't remember them talking about it there that I saw. Can you point me to a sticky or something so I don't pester you to death?

Of the 14 floors what is DVC?

No one is exactly sure yet. One of the questions we are still waiting for an answer. Could be all of it or a fraction (the rest being Disney Resort inventory).

Thanks for the pictures, they are terrific as always!

Thanks everyone!

We haven't had much rain here, so the construction on T-Rex seems to be going quickly (as is everything else). There was recently an ad in the paper for management for the T-Rex, so I can't imagine it will be very long to open.

I have to ask, what is TRex? It looked so cool in the pictures.

Found this on mouseplanet.com:

T-Rex (http://www.trexcafe.com/) sounds somewhat like a prehistoric version of Rainforest Cafe. Rather than Rainforest's "A Wild Place to Shop and Eat" theme, T-Rex will be "A Prehistoric Family Adventure, A Place to Eat, Shop, Explore and Discover." The location will feature life-sized animatronic dinosaurs among cascading waterfalls, bubbling geysers, and a fossil dig site, and will focus around water, fire and ice.

[Laxmom]

Thanks! That sounds just awesome!! And it is located......sorry, where? It looked really cool from the pictures that were posted. I am anxious to check this one out!!

[JimP]

On the east side of DTD.
