Weird how late they've left it to announce this one.

Top 3 resort on my list- such amazing sense of place making there. Always good to see it maintained.

For what it’s worth - our top 3 are Animal Kingdom, Wilderness, and French Quarter.

I am also hopeful that the nearby Lakeside Lodge will be worthy of the location, unlike some of their recent effort, especially Riviera, but also Poly Tower and the weak Ft. Wilderness cabin effort.

Pretty impressive how much work they've been putting into this, yacht & beach, and some of the other exteriors of resorts

If your at the lodge and want to go to the cotemporary, you have to take a boat to MK first and then switch boats right? Till the dock is closed anyway.

I believe after a certain time of day (3PM, I want to say?) there is a boat that goes between Wilderness Lodge, Fort Wilderness and Contemporary. Not necessarily in that order.

There is not currently boat service from MK to Contemporary- only monorail and the walking path.

There is boat service from the Contemporary to the Wilderness Lodge and Ft. Wilderness in the afternoon. (as mentioned in the post above as well)

Aka the Hoop De Doo Cruise, as that’s the main reason it exists (and why it’s only run in the afternoon/evening)

Work is starting on the guard shack.

It also looked like new gates were going to be installed in different spots.

More than likely due to Western Wilderness Road being the access to Lakeside Lodge.
