What do they call that quasi duel crane configuration? I have NEVER seen anything like that in my life. I can't even comprehend what it is for.

Well it's kind of their fault I mean Disney changed their slogan a few years ago.
"Welcome to Disney World where all your DVC's come true."
They tell them ahead of time about the construction and even, from what i've heard (and seen pics of), they show concept art of what construction is supposed to look like at the time of the wedding. So no, I don't not feel bad for them. Contrary to popular belief, that is not the only place to get married on Disney property. There are multiple other locations to have a wedding on property (Basically at any of the Deluxe hotels). They offer so many different weddings and styles of them that it's really your fault if you choose to get stuck behind the construction. It sucks theirs an obstruction right now, but it's not like there isn't other options and they don't warn you about it.
Orlando Theme Park News posted some pics of the DVC progress from the top of the Contemporary Resort

WDWMagic has posted a DVC construction update where it appears that work is slated to begin on the fifth floor of the building.
Additionally, they also spotted the pool/water play area that is receiving some Alice in Wonderland style theming.

Amusement Pics posted this photo of the DVC's progress, noting that crews have finally framed out the fifth floor.
EDIT: Florida Thrills has also posted a construction update.
EDIT: WDW News Today posted an update also with a view of the new parking lot.

Amusement Pics has posted a great update. Construction is going at a fast pace and the new, Alice in Wonderland themed water play area looks complete.

Thanks!
Perhaps a grand lobby, restaurant, gym, other general spaces reserved for the DVC?
We'll see about the Grand Lobby and Restaurant...I'd love for both. Judging by recent DVC trends though, it could go either way. Both Kidani and BLT both went for smaller lobbies (I do like BLT's though) and although Sanaa was added at Kidani, no quick service option was added and the closest to either at BLT was the pool bar, which closes around 7 normally. It seems the trend is they want to build the DVC portion, spend as little money on the extras as possible and allow access to what is already available at the connecting hotel (Be it Contemporary, Jambo House, GF, etc.)Thanks!
