Coincidentally, beginning this fall Mickey's Backyard Massage Parlor and Casino will begin offering the Naughtily Ever After Fireworks Dessert Party.  Enjoy a buffet dinner at Minnie's Ho Down Smorgas

Can't change it, can't stop it, enjoy it while you can, that's my plan.

Isnt Bay lake towers DVC not on Bay Lake?  Lol. 

 

I believe it is a 15 story tower that has approx 450 rooms.

Yes but I consider the tower they built in that location to be consistent with the theming of the existing CR.  I think a nature inspired resort situated between WL and FW should blend into nature, which I think a 15 story tower would have a difficult time doing.  However like I noted before, I've been wrong before and disney often surprises me.  And not always in a good way.

Agree X2

if they do build a 15 story building, and I hope they don’t, it will be hard to make it blend into the area.  I just can’t see how they could do it.

I agree. It kind of looks like Bay Lake Tower. What a wasted opportunity. 

They also released updated artwork for the big tower they're adding to Coronado Springs. Like this- it looks like a sleek generic hotel. It doesn't match the previous theme of Coronado Springs at all. 

I really hate the direction they've taken with these new resorts. I guess theming cuts into the bottom line too much.  We can't have that.

TCD

They ditched their original plans for THAT???!?

Demolition of River Country should be starting shortly.  Also, the entrance to the new resort will be a separate from Fort Wilderness and Wilderness Lodge, coming off of Vista Blvd.

When we were there this Christmas they were hauling off all the tables from mickeys backyard BBQ.

Saw a video of the new Coranado Springs tower yesterday.   Looks like a big holiday Inn express, and ruins the theme of the resort with all of the existing low height structures.  Hopefully this isn't what they are building, but I could see them recycling the blueprints elsewhere on property.

At the Fort now.  New (to us) survey markers in place: 1.  In the grass immediately adjacent to the Settlement bus stop and the road 2.  In the large open field between the bus stop and P. Hall 3. Between Trails End and the playground. 4. In the trees between the playground and the beach.  Asked a bus driver about the survey markers adjacent to the bus stop, he replied he didn't know.   He did say a few other things, but I'll put those in the Rumors  Section.

Thanks for the update.  I the we would all love to see some pictures of these if you have a chance to snap a few.

Would like to upload pictures, but (blushing) I don't know how.  Never done it.

A couple of new things: 1. There are now yellow flags from the Settlement bus stop running towards PH that indicate a natural gas pipeline. 2. A couple of survey markers are out on Clemintines Beach, about 5 feet in from the shore line 3. Vegetation between River Country and the shore has been cut back providing a great view of the ruins 4. We took the boat from FW to WL, and the boat driver altered course to give us all a closer view of RC, and reported that construction of the new resort began "last week".
