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

Sure seems like another DVC project when they are having such difficulty moving points right now would be nuts. I assume this is on a very long timescale?

Oh, I forgot to add........ it will be DVC now......

I doubt it would be a stand alone DVC resort, I don’t foresee that being done again.

If this is still alive my guess is it starts once the Poly Tower is completed. I just hope they rethink the concept / theme. And name!

Assuming they aren't calling this the DVC for the Camp ground???

Yurts maybe?

Different to the cabins, but on a similar “theme”. New concept for WDW ……

 

[Indy_UK]

Maybe as part of the next 10 year plan and $17 billion investment this resort will come back though, maybe as a regular Deluxe resort with DVC?

I mean if all the planning is done then it saves money to pursue this resort?

Interesting as they recently reopened and refurbished Clementine Beach which had been behind construction walls all this time

Hoping they’ve listened from the recent feedback and scale back the modern look a bit

They're having difficulty moving points because the only two resorts on sale are old Granny resorts.

Every single move since the “iger rebirth” is from 2012…
And it’s all so stale/tired now.

Another overpriced/bland dvc is just par for the course

Their concern for feedback is Greatly exaggerated

The builders have giant piles of modern cheap building materials on hand, so that is what we'll get. Using old techniques and materials is going to cost extra, no go.

Can’t wait to admire the framed pictures of Julie Andrews dancing at the grand opening of River Country in the lobby coffee bar.

This is the most meta post ever, as it could refer to both this project resurrecting from the grave and this thread. And two days after Easter, no less!

Worst resurrection ever.

@danlb_2000 I'm hearing this might not be dead. Just FYI.

“This” like the idea of building a hotel-and/or-DVC in this spot soon?

Or “this” like the exact building they were building in early 2020?

Probably the later. The new Poly DVC tower is the 2019/2020 proposal to the tee.

Hopefully the former

The latter sucked

The name was always a miss for me as Reflections, a Disney Lakeside Lodge, gives me assisted living and rehabilitation vibes.

River Country previously occupied this land and, with Pocahontas, they have an IP and song. Why not something like Disney's Riverbend Resort? Pocahontas was going to be featured in the lobby, so just connect the thematic elements.

They already have Riverside and probably didn't want to duplicate.

It’s also on a Lake, not a River.
