The reason they are building this is to SELL MORE DVCs!!!
But then they can also say they "expanded" WDW,

Yes. To sell more DVC. But that does not translate to increase attendance. And even at full occupancy this resort doesn’t make a dent in park capacityThe reason they are building this is to SELL MORE DVCs!!!

Totally agree, but by adding this resort they can falsely say they “added capacity” to the WDW resort, as in more rooms, not in attractions (the only thing that counts in my mind)

There are currently 12 new attractions coming to WDW. While a couple are replacements and one basically a reopening, most are a net gain on attraction capacity.

What are the 9 that we want to consider as new?

All 12 are new. 8 of them are capacity increases

Looking forward to the 8 that increase capacity whatever they are.

Nothing is ever set in stone until it actually opens. But currently there is no reason to doubt any of them.
Whether or not attractions and rides are built in the parks is not pertinent to this thread.

Excellent point.
We never know what we will end up with till after the "successful expansion" of WDW is completed, many, many years from now after all the cuts, cancellations, changes are made.

attractions cost money to build and maintain DVC cost nothing and make money year after year and money is all Disney is interested in

Really people work for free when they are building DVC facilities? Companies just give Disney all the materials for constructing DVC building, but charge them when they are using materials for attractions? People work at and maintain DVC facilities for free, but not for attractions?

Let's hope not.
There are plenty of examples of announced Disney Projects that have not happened.
See Disney's America
DisneySea at Port Disney (Long Beach)
More locally... Main Street Theater
Numerous WS pavilions, some even has official Preview centers like Equatorial Africa.
I have not even mentioned the ones from your park
. Nah. Don't need (or want) another pandemic for planned vs reality to be a factor which has always and will always be a factor.

Someone probably already posted about this, but I head this resort may get a lazy river?

To be fair, the pandemic caused delays and potential materials/labor increases. It was not the actual cause of Harmonious' failure and having to spend even more to create Luminous, cancelling the Table for CommuniCore Hall, lighting fiascos, cancelling PLAY!, poor storytelling in Guardians, cancelling SEE (which was probably a blessing), etc.
It played a role on the timeline, no doubt - and you can't rebuild demolished buildings. But, Disney created many of it's own issues with the EPCOT redo that have nothing to do with the pandemic.
Now back to Mistake on the Lake: The Residences.

That's a prominent rumor (with some evidence, I believe) - and one thing I would genuinely be excited about in a new project like this. Honestly, if this had more of a personality/perspective and wasn't directly in the Wilderness Lodge lake view, I think it would be a very nice project. Perhaps unnecessary right now - but nice.
