Looks as if the building houses a lift station

Could be. Definitely the utility building for the bungalows. Probably a water pump for the fire protection, electrical distribution, and perhaps a sewage ejector.

....yeah, ok.

Honestly a thatched roof would make this 10,000x better.

Is Disney putting a fence on the walkway to these? Lawsuit waiting to happen.

There's a fence in the artwork. It looks like ropes tied to the poles sticking up.

So...does this mean there will be no 1BR and 2BR villas in the DVC longhouse retrofits? Just studios?

 

[Bocabear]

it looks like an average hotel room, Anywhere USA... Well except for the view.
I like the decor hanging on the balconies but feel like this will be cut off the plans quickly..
Well...much like the lobby plans, they certainly are underwhelming... meh...

Yes because that will stop stupid people.

not stop, but to show resonable attempts to keep guests from falling into the water. it becomes the guests fault since they had to climb over a safety railing.

I wouldn't want to be anywhere near a thatched roof in Florida. Spiders, centipedes, and other oggie boogies all fist sized or larger a mere foot or so above my head? Ah, Nope....

Tiki Room has one... all you have to do is have regular maintenance on it. If they can have them in Bora Bora...

I'm just saying, if you're gonna go for it, go all the way. But this has been mentioned ad nauseam, so ignore me.

Mmmm... not sure how I feel about the decor... looks a little "plain" and "dark."
Hopefully the real thing looks better than the concept art.

 

[Scuttle]

I have a feeling the finished product will look nothing like the concept art.

Looks just like the test room I saw.

It looks like they plan to dye the Seven Seas Lagoon aqua like they dye the Chicago River green on Saint Patrick's Day!

That was my first thought, too. They seem to think the water beneath the bungalows is actually clean-ish!

Like what hotels exactly? I doubt any of those hotels have a view directly across the Magic Kingdom.

Looks the same as the kidani village studios.

That Seven Seas water is awfully blue!! More blue than normal. More blue than reality.
