We won't be getting any low rise or cluster buildings again. Towers baby!

I mean, seriously why not theme this new thing to actual Ft Wilderness...make it a kind of Frontierland Hotel and grounds... Add the train back and connect Ft Wilderness to Wilderness Lodge in a meaningful way...and let this property be the central entertainment and restaurant/shopping area for the Wilderness Resorts....and design it thematically to bridge the two resorts.... not another modern Marriott hotel, but something that feels like the Disney we all fell in love with... That is what people want... not another run of the mill hotel you can find anywhere....something unique fitting the theme of the area....

You know what's funny?
Why not theme the new Poly DVC to Poly? Because its modern Disney...

Just what WDW needs another 10 story generic DVC --they ruined the Polynesian, they ruined CBR---so lets ruin Fort Wilderness.

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...

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.

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?

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.
