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.”

Bob only wants those who are "income qualified" visiting the parks and staying at the resort hotels now. No room for the poors anymore.

Nobody said they want Fort Wilderness to be eliminated. There's a huge difference between what individual people want and what Disney as a company might actually do.

As I said. It doesn't attract the right demographic.

If there’s matching DVC outhouses, then it’s got the green light from me.

Personally I think it's a missed opportunity. A large area of land that doesn't bring in the sort of high earning clientele that Disney world is looking for. A great expansion area for a new park with attached high end hotels.

I don't think you'll find anyone around here who wants FW to go away. Just saying.

No you are not the only one just another reason My love of Disney has faded Joni Mitchell song They paved paradise and put up a DVC With a pink hotel, a boutique, and a swinging hot spot Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you got 'til it's gone? They paved paradise and put up a DVC Ooh, bop-bop-bop Ooh, bop-bop-bop (na-na-na-na-na) They took all the trees and put 'em in a tree museum And now they charge the people a HUNDRED BUCKS just to see them No, no, no Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you got 'til it's gone? They paved paradise and put up a DVC

I naively thought there would be FW fans somewhere on these forums, but I guess I must be the only one. I will bow out of this discussion and let you all discuss your dreams of what TDC/DVC will do. I guess none of you will ever know or appreciate the beauty and tranquility of FW. Have fun with all of your speculations of the end of a beloved original WDW resort.
