[larryz]

How about the Disney Wilderness Swamp Resort? Or, to honor the old water park, the Disney River Country Resort?

I could get behind that! like it!

Other surveys have used the name "Disney's Colors of Nature Resort" (gross).

Seems we have that, Disney's Discovery Lodge, and Reflections: A Disney Lakeside Resort.

Are they intentionally putting terrible names in the survey to encourage people to write-in names of their own?

They had horrible names for renaming DHS and with lots of negative feedback for the choices given, decided not to rename it.

I would keep the name but add a strong marketing slogan after Star Wars opens.

It’s a nice nod to Discovery Island, but that would be lost on many guests.

I hope they just stick to the River Country name.

And Discovery Island was once Treasure Island... Maybe this is a good place to do a Neverland Resort The other names are so generic...though I think that is the nod to the type resort they are going to build...another vaguely themed Marriott style hotel...

 

[WDWdream97]

I wonder since Wilderness is not in the name, if it will be inspired by another outdoorsy location, like the Adirondacks?

It's been done...

Reflections: A Disney Lakeside Resort.

Sounds like a retirement community...

And abandoned too! Nobody's gonna buy the thing and I don't think anyone would care if Disney stole the name (That he stole from Disney in the first place)

Ummm, pretty sure JM Barrie coined the name Neverland.

AFAIK, Disney had to apply to Great Ormond Street Hospital in London for the rights to the story for both Peter Pan and the sequel. They, or their theatrical agents, still have copyright in the U.K. and US.

In the UK Peter Pan was given a special perpetual copyright -

I think this resort is actually going to surprise you and be heavily themed considering their using a company they have used before(WATG) who help design the Grand Floridian.

Depends on what Dis wants built and how much money they give them to do it. I doubt they say "we trust you, you did the Grand Flo" and they turn them loose on the design.

 

[tissandtully]

Need to include a larger more accessible theater for Hoop-Dee-Doo imo.

Yeah, maybe a restaurant/theater that has a restroom??

No clue how this will turn out, but I agree using WATG isn't the worst place to start.

I'm still surprised they never refurbed the building at all to bring bathrooms "inside". As long as the ever classic picture remains, I'd be pretty happy:

The original GF right? Because whoever did the DVC expansion wasn't good.
