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.”

What sucks is not that we trust concept arts but more so fall in love with them more than so likely than the final product. It's not like they did better or replaced something to the same level of what was shown. These features are additions that if weren't on the concept art we be accepting of what we got and wouldn't imagine the what if or this was!

Could that all changed due to the Moana statue, the location seems it's where it is...again budget cuts.

Thank's for pointing that out the waterfall feature next to the restaurant.

It seems like the weird tall apron around the rooms situated directly above the gym was also not supposed to be there originally.

It was originally going to be a split level pool with an infinity edge / waterfall between the two. Water from the upper pool would fall to the lower pool. There was also a waterfall between the pool and the bar. The art shows these features as does the originally blueprints for the project.

There are people depicted in the water on the far side of the pool. Not sure how anyone got "waterfalls" out of that.

Except when you then notice the waterfall walls. 😍!

Never trust concept art.

Shocking but this is the first time I notice the pool consists of waterfalls. I don't care for pools which is why back then my eyes were just drawn to seating, palm trees and building! 🙃 The waterfall aspect would been a great tribute to OG Polynesian!

Yeah, I forgot about that one (probably because it's in Hawaii). It's roughly 60/40 DVC vs cash rooms.
