Just upsize the MK train station..........
If they built a hotel over EPCOT's entrance, how much do you think a Big Blue Box view room would cost?

Oh look, another Fairfield Inn reference. How witty.
Epcot front gate or Animal Kingdom

I wouldn't mind if they build/encroach on the parking lot a bit if it means DAK get's a nicer arrival experience with more shade lol
Could see it mimic the Explorers Lodge (or have a South America theme) to tie to Tropical Americas.

Yes, I think it would be more trouble than it's worth to try and retrofit a sizeable hotel into the entrance of one of the existing parks.
I don't see how a hotel could be built at the entrance of Epcot unless it was off to one side rather than over the entrance itself, which I believe was a fairly recent proposal. The entrance to DHS seems like it would be a pretty tight space for a resort, though I guess if they demolished the Beauty & the Beast stage area maybe they could put something in there. A condensed version of AK Lodge could go at the entrance of DAK, but not sure it would be really worth it considering they have the more expansive version nearby and this one would still only be close to that one park.
In short, doesn't really seem worth it.

I think this could happen, and would be on the right timeline after Reflections is complete.
People want walking distance to Epcot. I could see Disney trying to put another DVC there, especially since the current ones won't be available until 2042. I currently own at VGF and would like an Epcot offering. If Riviera was walking distance, I would definitely be purchasing there. Right now I am on the fence.

To each their own. I really enjoy Riviera. If it wasn't for the restrictions on resale contracts, my wife and I would have bought there instead of VGF when we added DVC points.

They are wasting no time on this.
Penguin's rule of building speed...
If they need to build it to completion before it can make money, they'll build it as fast as possible. E.g., a new hotel, a new 'gate.'
If revenue remains basically the same no matter when it's completed, there's no rush to complete it and they'll take their time. E.g., a new ride in a profitable gate.

Its probably still there because its a good shade tree for the crew to take breaks under.

I still really feel like there must be cash rooms at this resort. It's so blatantly a hotel with a trifold offshoot DVC wing with a dedicated entrance and parking lot still in tact. Maybe they are feeling confident enough with MK plans that they need more cash rooms for MK? Especially since the last ten years eliminated rooms at Poly, Grand Flo, Wilderness Lodge and the Cabins.
