Google Earth has some updated satellite imagery from late March (spotted by @MisterPenguin on the forums) which offers a look at the latest progress on the upcoming DVC property - Reflections - A Disney Lakeside Lodge.

Located on Bay Lake between Disney's Wilderness Lodge and Fort Wilderness Resort, the ground clearing is progressing well, although further development will likely be impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak.

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.

Check out the modern looking updates announced today for the DLP Sequoia Lodge. Seems like a room decor style that could be similar to what Lakeshore Lodge is getting. The Sequoia Lodge at Disneyland Paris has always had a very modern tank on the national parks / Frank Lloyd Wright style.

That would be great!

Cement probably came in bulk from central or south america

Presumably they’ll already have the steel. Not so sure about the timber. Even so, I expect any project already actually underway should continue unaffected.

No doubt this project is being made with entirely American-made materials.

There is the main pool area, which will have the lazy river, interactive water play area, and pool with a plunge slide. There's also the usual DVC quiet pool in a different area of the resort.

Is there more than one pool area? I have not looked at the plans.

Disstevefan15 days ago

They need to step it up. This is critical to expand capacity at WDW.

We don’t yet know for sure that the Lakeside Lodge pool will be available to fort cabin guests. But between the Fort and Lakeside Lodge there will be 4 pools.

HauntedPirate5 days ago

Again, we don't know if Fort Wilderness or DVC cabin guests will be allowed into this pool area.

HauntedPirate5 days ago

One floor per week for concrete. You aren't going to see much other visual progress for a bit.

Disstevefan15 days ago

We need pics of the very rapid progress of this new DVC tower please.

But the values like Pop have 3 pools. This mix of rooms are larger with more guests per room. Every cabin at the fort is a 2 bedroom. Then the Lodge mix of cabins and 1 , 2 bedroom dvc rooms. The lazy river will be a large draw. It will be easily as mobbed as stormalong bay or worse.

It’s 1300 and by Disney standards that’s not that unusual. That’s a couple hundred less than have access to Stormalong Bay. And nowhere near as many as have access to pools at many of the moderates and values.
