Harumph, best pool in all of WDW, imho, it needed no improvements as it was.

By adding a fence, cabanas, and dining of course!

I'm sure this will be a lot like the Poly situation where a lot of people who have a connection to the resort may have a hard time accepting the change. However, from what I know, it should still be a very nice area that 95% of guests won't even noticed changed once it's done.

What in the world is that?

There was a restaurant marked on the plans, so I am expecting it to be a pool bar and grill similar to what recently opened at the Polynesian's Oasis quiet pool. But there is also discussion that a community hall is coming in this building as well as a restaurant.

Oh yeah. I guess I just wasn't expecting that to be there. It will be interesting to watch the resort evolve. I know I'm in the minority, but I like how they evolved the Poly.
I'm with you in the minority as well. I like the new lobby better than the old, and they certainly did a great job in the rest of the refurbs as well.

Honestly, the expansion will make Hidden Springs less "hidden" but it will be pretty having the pool area expand out to Bay Lake.

That, is an upperclass TeePee
only the Counsel of Elders may enter.Seriously though, On these new units, restaurant, pool house, and cabins, I hope they use the same construction the main lodge and villas have. It would be a crying shame to put up some vinyl sided structures by the lake when the rest of the resort was so carefully made from trucked in Northwest Lumber.

The new Oasis pool bar and grill at the Poly looks fabulous http://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2016/...d-grill-at-disneys-polynesian-village-resort/
Hopefully WL will get something as good
You didn't seriously just write that, did you? There is zero chance of that.That, is an upperclass TeePee

Zero chance of which: the vinyl siding (This is the new Disney: entirely possible they'd do this), or the TeePee? (a joke reference to the TeePees on the lake concept).
The vinyl siding. They didn't go cheap on the bungalows, why would they for the WL? Look, Disney may have had a some issues in the past, but pretty much everything they have done lately has gotten back to the quality builds that they used to do. People don't necessarily like all that they have done (myself included), but it has been quality work.

As a frequent non-DVC guest at the Wilderness, I hope that this new building brings in something like the new Poly Oasis grill that I saw in the above link to reduce crowds at Roaring Forks. I always had wished that the Trout Pass pool bar would have served some items.
I am more curious as to how contracts will work. Will these have exorbitant point costs per night that will have an end goal of reshuffling the entire VWL point chart ultimately raising points needed per night? How will this affect the 50 years contract term? Will the new contracts be 50 or shorter to match the rest? There are a lot of questions I have with DVC add-ons to existing DVC inventory. This will certainly affect my future add-ons whether direct or resale.

They cannot modify the points required throughout the year at the VWL for existing owners. If I had to guess, they will make an entirely new DVC resort (at least in name) for the new wing and bungalows with a 2067 expiration. It's the least messy route to go.
