News Disney Lakeshore Lodge (Project 89 - Development near Fort Wilderness)

[Epcot82Guy]

I fear it will really impact the escapism/isolated feeling of both FW and WL. I know we need to wait for details/confirmation. But, I don't see any possible way a company creative at themeing could make that work ascetically - let alone current Disney.

I guess LA sprawl really can reach farther than we ever anticipated...

 

[Notes from Neverland]

It's hard not to think Fort Wilderness won't be impacted in the same way the Polynesian is being impacted by its new tower. A total tone shift in vibes and setting.

do they really think DVC demand is or will increase based on how things are going?

they just seem to think everyone will be getting in line to buy points for a new Disney Holiday Inn Express.... the joke's on those who buy into it though, Disney won't offer a free continental breakfast

A 150 foot tall structure that meets the aesthetic of Frontierland/Fort Wilderness/Wilderness Lodge you say?

If it's anything other than this (or inspired by this) I will be highly disappointed (...I'm preparing to be highly disappointed... Unless there is a zip line from the top of the tower over to Discovery Island...)

We already know this is going to be a very generic tower with very little theme.

Has it been said that it’s going to be DVC only or is that an assumption?

They already have enough reports on sale at once although it seems they are happy to wait out the long game for them to sell out as apposed to what they used to? Maybe it’s because they know if 18 years there’s a bunch of resorts coming to the end of contract?

Oh they are just going back to that then? I thought this was an updated/ changed version of it

Oh, good point, but whatever generic tower they put up will be DVC I imagine.

THAT is where the MONEY is.

I’m happy with my Animal Kingdom Lodge resale contracts

so now that they built the Polyday Inn on the same basic design model as the original Reflections concept, will we have two of the same towers with the exception of some vaguely country themed details on the outside the way they did Polyday? or will this be a new design?...like the All Star resorts....same building, added theme elements depending on location?

Ten stories.

In the shape of a pup tent.

Ummmmm

THAT would be creative, therefore we wont be getting that.

To see what we will be getting, just go anywhere in the US and find a Marriott.

That’s 14 stories.

I wonder if anyone who worked on the 2011 proposal for a DVC resort on this site is still around working on this one

The poly tower and reflections were not structurally, architecturally, or thematically the same. The poly tower was actively being designed before Reflections was put on hold. Had Covid not happened both would already be open.

A 10-story tower in a campground.
