I'm getting the impression that this is probably all DVC and no longer has to the 900 hotel room component to it? Probably all DVC? (hopefully not)

They didn’t release new artwork. It could be completely different with monster teeth and/or eyeballs added.

We probably should have seen Lakeshore coming. Lakeshore and Lakefront are the obvious synonyms for Lakeside.So they got the message about Reflections sounding like a retirement home!

“nature” and “rustic” is probably why the sales center is being put in the Canada pavilion

So they added the same concrete boxed shapes to the building which they will paint brown and it will suddenly become "Nature-Themed?" It is the same urban looking mid-rise condo/ motel building we saw before... It looks like urban sprawl...not "nature" or "nature--inspired-artistry" at all...it looks like Gensler office building...

There will be alligators and snakes. Nature.

I'd count on a squirrel or two as well.

What is the theming of a Lakeshore lodge? - so generic and boring. They could make it nice, but this has a chance to be the least uniquely themed, disney magical resort yet....and on Bay Lake!
Taking the Reflections name out means nothing (and they probably think it's a big win for fans).

It’s a building on a lake. What more do you want from a lakeshore lodge?!?! Maybe they’ll add a wolf who is great for the kids to hug and a tornado water slide. They could call it the Howlin’ Tornado!

I am still having trouble finding this announcement officially from Disney anywhere, where did this info come from?

They are adding new restrooms at DAK. That should do it.

Adding resort room capacity doesn’t alter visitor numbers. It just encourages more people to stay onsite.
And as far as DVC is concerned, there is nothing in the sales / deeds about parks. The DVC resorts were open before the parks re-opened after Covid. And even afterwards, there was no guarantee of park tickets or reservations for DVC members staying.

Scott Gustin is 100% reliable. He gets info directly from Disney.

Maybe it's only for us nostalgia purists, but I would have preferred The River Country Lodge - with that rustic ol' fashioned swimming hole more classic feeling Disney theming - with the obvious nod to it's history/location.
They could get creative/innovative with the water slides as a differentiator.
A missing element is fun. Contemporary, Poly, Boardwalk, even Beachclub all have it - Riveria is nice, but was a step back here and Lakeshore likely continues down this bland path.
