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

[HauntedPirate]

Thanks for keeping it all straight (though I suspect you are somehow involved with this project).

Not personally involved, actually. But the company I work for has some material involvement with it. Which means blueprints, architectural drawings, etc.

So.. the A Frames will be lifted up onto trees to become a treehouse near the horse ranch?

Here's a look around the area from today:

Amazing how fast they can build when they feel like it

So it looks like potentially A-frame "cabins" that will be called treehouses?

Hope this helps. There will be both unit types.

Yeah, some of the beams in the hotel were taken from her.

The view from Pioneer Hall is unfortunate.

Are there any plans to make the transition from Pioneer Hall to the new hotel less abrupt?

I was there last week and there was a conscious landscaping effort along the path from the bus depot to pioneer hall to … I don’t think hide is the right word, but to create a buffer. Hopefully that continues. Also I’m sure once the building starts to get its paint job it won’t look as abrupt.

Vertical construction is always viewed as "rapid". This isn't scheduled to open until sometime in 2027.

The treehouses are going to be rather close to Pioneer Hall, so anything done will have to be in the form of tall(er) trees, I'd imagine.

Hope this helps. There will be both unit types.

There are small A-frames, large A-frames, and treehouses. The treehouses will be off the ground and connected to the main building via an elevated walkway. Where is that treehouse rendering from? I don't recall seeing it previously.

D23 2019 circa reflections. Little seems changed, the structures seem identical to the 2019 site plan. Here’s two others that I think have been forgotten about, but semi relevant. Though I believe you’ve said the theme has changed?

I hope there are blinds for the full length windows of the treehouses!

Yeah, ‘Evangeline’ is the alleged name of the TS restaurant. I think the lake view rendering/drawing is still fairly accurate. I’d have to look at the layout of the treehouses.

Is this where river country was?

Yes!

So the theme has changed from Fairfield Inn to an Aloft?

I was referring to the restaraunt. No, it’s still a Westin-adjacent.

I’m still concerned about their plan for vehicle access to the resort.

Thats Beyel..not Bell.
