Disney has bought 15 acres near the National Harbor development area in Washington, DC, with the plan to build a 500 room Disney themed resort hotel, which I assume will be similar to the Disney/DVC combo hotel concept under construction in Hawaii. While Disney wont give up any details on the project, Jay Rasulo did confirm that it “will be a project of significant scale and put a recognizable Disney footprint in the Washington area." While they have no set timeline, given the current state of the national economy, “We wouldn't be buying this property if we didn't think this was a great location for a Disney resort hotel," Rasulo said. Sounds to me like Disney is striking now while the price of the land is likely at it’s lowest price point. _________________ John
