Disney Vacation Club Addition
In March 2011, plans of an addition to the Grand Floridian Resort surfaced on the internet. Architectural renderings depicted a new wing on the southern tip of the property that were speculated to be used for Disney Vacation Club villas, as well as a new parking lot for Disney's Wedding Pavilion and Grand Floridian Health Club. This addition was confirmed to DVC members in December 2011, thus officially making the Grand Floridian home to the second Vacation Club property on a monorail resort, following Bay Lake Tower at Disney's Contemporary Resort which opened in 2009. The addition will contain approximately 147 villas. Beginning on September 19, 2011, the Grand Floridian's Spa closed for 18 months due to this expansion.

—Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
“Napoleon wanted to turn Paris into Rome under the Caesars, only with louder music and more marble. And it was done. His architects gave him the Arc de Triomphe and the Madeleine. His nephew Napoleon III wanted to turn Paris into Rome with Versailles piled on top, and it was done. His architects gave him the Paris Opera, an addition to the Louvre, and miles of new boulevards.”
—Tom Wolfe (b. 1931)
