Disney Vacation Club will expand its presence with a new vacation resort next to Disney's Wilderness Lodge. Designed as a turn-of-the-century hotel built in one of the great national parks, it will feature 136 units and open in the fall of 2000.
Also on the horizon is Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge, a 1,300-room resort that is scheduled to open in 2001. From their balconies guests will view zebra, giraffe and antelope on an African savanna.
At night, dazzling circus acts take center stage at the Cirque du Soleil theater at Downtown Disney West Side. The world-renowned French-Canadian troupe showcases more than 60 tumblers, trapeze artists and clowns who perform in a 1,650-seat theater that resembles a circus tent. The West Side is also home to the world's first DisneyQuest entertainment center (see Disney Regional Entertainment).
At the Wild Horse Saloon at Downtown Disney Pleasure Island, guests dance to hot new country performers. Nearby, the BET SoundStage Club keeps the beat going with the best of jazz, rhythm and blues, soul and hip-hop.
Disney's Wide World of Sports continues to expand its line-up. From the U.S. Men's Clay Court championships to the training camps of the Harlem Globetrotters, Orlando Magic and the Atlanta Braves, guests can enjoy watching almost any professional sport.
