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

That's a different design.

We have to hope it's not really going to be a 10 story building. Imagine something similar to the last few but even bigger. I didn't think they could do worse than the original plan.

seems like they are really trying...lol

So six cranes? Sounds like a very spread out site passing materials from one to the next but maybe they are just building a high altitude ropes course......

Not much taller that Wilderness Lodge with 7 stories. Contemporary is 14?

This FAA case finished its processing, and more details were added. They also filed cases for five additional cranes.

“Construction of mobile cranes to construct a 10-story hotel. The mobile cranes can reach a max height of 240 ft. AGL when raised to its highest point. When idle, during non-working hours, the crane will be at a max height of 150 ft. AGL.”

Ah thanks, brain fart....

The original plan was 7 stories I think, so I wonder if it has indeed changed.

Piecing things together, it sounds like the Canada building construction project might be a display area for this new resort and it’s outdoorsy vibes

The Contemporary is not on the lake in Ft. Wilderness. We will also not see anything themed like Wilderness Lodge. It will look more like the new tower at Poly. Between the new cabins and this mess, it's going to completely ruin the feeling of Ft. Wilderness.

Or they could build this.....

I wonder if it’s going to even still have the nature theme or just be some entirely new idea.

That has too much character

They could use fiberglass.....

They could use fiberglass.....

Now you're talking. Fiberglass at the announcement - paint to look like fiberglass which looks almost like brick when it comes time to build

When Tom Staggs left the Walt Disney Company, his image was removed from the Pandora groundbreaking photo. Bob Chapek announced and described the details for Reflections. I could see them purposefully reimagining the resort to distance it from any associations with Chapek.

They are storytellers or so I've heard Bob say.....

Perhaps the extra floors are needed to see the fireworks. And monetizing the fireworks viewing area.

It's so depressing to think about. I've been coming to FW since I was a kid in the 70's. It's a special place on property. And this project will completely change the resort forever. The bubble-within-a-bubble will no longer exist.
