We finally have some movement on the Disney Vacation Club Tower that is to be added to the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim. According to Twitter user @MagicandWalnut, there was a “town hall webinar” where they showed off the designs to the neighborhood.
The tower will be a 12 story, “L-shaped” tower that will be done in a stepped style to taper down towards the neighborhood so it will fit in more with the area and not be so imposing.
The complex will have one main 12-story tower, a separate, ground-level pool area that would be behind it. It will be adjacent to the Frontierland Disneyland Hotel tower.
Here are the tweets they posted last night:

The part of the tower that extends toward Walnut Street behind the #DisneylandHotel complex will be built with a stair-step effect, to be less visually imposing on the neighborhood behind it. At its lowest point, it will be just five stories tall. pic.twitter.com/BORJCojEhv

There is no timeline yet for when the project will begin construction or be completed. The plans are still under review by the city. Still, it was fascinating to learn the project has not been put on hold. pic.twitter.com/8xYfRPu3jZ

The #DisneylandHotel DVC complex will consist of one main 12-story tower with a separate, ground-level pool area directly behind it. (The adjacent Frontier Tower, by contrast, is 13 stories.) pic.twitter.com/zwlUVHJIia

It’s important to note that the poster mentioned Disney doesn’t have a timeline yet for when the project will be completed or even when construction will begin and the plans are still under review by the city. So nothing has been even approved yet.
But it hasn’t gone away completely so that’s good news.
