The new Disney Vacation Club property to be built on Bay Lake between Disney's Wilderness Lodge and Fort Wilderness Resort that was announced last month now has a name -"Reflections - A Disney Lakeside Lodge."

The deluxe resort, which will be themed to complement its natural surroundings, will include more than 900 hotel rooms and proposed Disney Vacation Club villas spread across a variety of unique accommodation types.

“Walt Disney World is in the midst of our most significant expansion in the last two decades and the combined 1,700 new hotel rooms and proposed Disney Vacation Club villas we are building at four different resorts will create thousands of new construction and permanent jobs and will drive economic opportunity and incremental revenue for Central Florida,” said George A. Kalogridis, president of Walt Disney World Resort. “We continue to add new attractions, new lands — and these beautiful accommodations will be right in the heart of all that magic.”

“This resort experience will be a celebration of Walt Disney’s lifelong love and respect for nature, with some fun and even surprising accommodation types that families will find irresistible,” said Terri Schultz, senior vice president and general manager of Disney Vacation Club. “It will give our members and guests yet another opportunity to stay in close proximity to all the newest attractions and experiences in our theme parks, and with the flexibility, value and world-class service families expect from Disney.”

I went to Belize a couple years ago and had my first experience with howler monkeys. They sound like someone is performing a human sacrifice ritual. I can only imagine what the first settlers thought was watching them back in the day. Terrifying.

Treehouses?! Oh my. Will this resort be overrun with tarzans swinging around impinging on my personal freedoms?!?!

What about the treehouses?

557+399+13 Lake Houses = 969, which is awfully close to the 967 room count used in Disney’s announcements.

I said they were included in the schedule. 🤷‍♀️ But when @HauntedPirate gave the DVC room breakdown, neither the treehouses or the cabins were included. Afaik anyway. We discussed that at the time.

Why would they be excluded from those schedules? Their purpose is to show that the entire facility is code compliant.

I think there’s some confusion. I don’t think the A frames will be included in @HauntedPirate ’s room counts under 1 & 2 beds. They will be counted in the total number of rooms or keys as filed the other day.

The schedules posted are not intended to show room categories for room assignment.

They still would need to be called out separately from a one-bedroom or two bedroom in the main building. The Cascade cabins are two bedrooms but they're not the same as a boulder ridge or copper Creek two bedroom. They are their own room category. I'm going to go out and leg here and guess that the framed cabins will also be their own room category. Keeping them as a regular one bedroom or a two-bedroom would be an unrealistic scenario for room assignment and room requests.

I certainly won't argue that Disney's resort track record of late has been abysmal in their dismissals of diegesis.

That’s right! I can’t believe I forgot about 2nd floor Poly. I was walking by them just the other day! 😂 I didn’t know about most of the others lol Thanks for the info

That would have shown up in the recent filing. It is a separate resort. But both will be part of this Palmetto Trust. Which means you don’t get a deeded part of the resort, you get some other kind of membership.
