Pool Area Under Construction at Wilderness Lodge

[PortOrleans]

The pool area of Disney's Wilderness Lodge has been added to the list of areas under construction at the resort. The Hidden Springs Pool Area will be reimagined to fit within the Boulder Ridge backstory. With this rennovation, the pool area will get a sun deck, a zero-entry pool, as well as further theming, and should be complete by Summer 2017.

The Hidden Springs pool was demolished a year ago and construction has been ongoing since then.

Thank you, I was aware that construction was ongoing, however I posted this to announce a completion date.

Are you trying to set a record for the number of new threads you can start with misinformation?

No, I was using information from wdwinfo.com, also known as The DIS. I never intend to spread information that is incorrect or misleading. Could you possibly correct me?

By using "pool area" under contruction as the thread title, it implies that the main pool is under constuction. The main Silver Springs pool was re-opned December 2014. The Hidden Springs quiet pool closed November 2015, so you aren't really posting anything new, other than the estimated completion date.

Couple pics of the new pool. Replacing the best pool they ever had. @epcotisbest

Thank you for the photos. Yeah, this new pool is going to be substantially bigger. I was trying to figure out what that elevated framework is around the hot tub in your photos, then realized it is for the boulders surrounding the pool. This rendering makes it look pretty nice, but not nearly as inviting and intimate as the old Hidden Springs Pool that will remain fondly in my memory.
Looks like some (probably pricey) cabanas in the foreground too.
