This will be on the land that Pop Century started building. The ghostly looking buildings across the pond from the Pop Century resort.

Family suites in the value properties are a really good fit that Disney needs to take business away from off property.
If they stay under $175 per night, typical families on a budget will snap these up. They will be very popular.
And it won't cannibalize their other business. It will probably take business away from places like Nick suites or off property vacation home / condo rentals.
The only other larger family friendly resort on property is the ft wilderness cabins. Everywhere else is either really expensive, a DVC time share property, or just a small hotel room limited to a maximum of four people.
The best value for the larger family is still in off site vacation home/condo rental. But that's no fun...
