Reflections – A Disney Lakeside Lodge is an upcoming Disney Vacation Club resort that currently is under construction at the Walt Disney World Resort in Bay Lake, Florida. It is being built between Disney's Wilderness Lodge and Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground. It is being constructed on the former site of Disney's River Country Water Park. The new hotel will also feature several Disney characters for each of the rooms including Bambi, Brother Bear, The Fox and the Hound, and Pocahontas among others.^[1] A lakeside restaurant featuring the characters from The Princess and the Frog is also slated to open along with the new resort in 2022.^[2]

History[]

Walt Disney World Resort announced on October 18, 2018, a new deluxe hotel and 16th vacation club property. The resort will include 900 rooms and club villas built on the shore of Bay Lake on the former site of Disney's River Country. The property is set to open in 2022.^[3]

At Destination D November 17, 2018, Disney Parks, Experiences and Products chairman Bob Chapek indicated the resort name as Reflections – A Disney Lakeside Lodge.^[4]

As of early 2020, the Reflections Project was full steam ahead, with construction & excavations taking place. Official artist impressions were released along with details about the resort.

As of 2020, all references to the resort had been removed from Disney websites and digital press releases, suggesting that development of the resort had been either cancelled or postponed for a later date, likely due to the COVID-19 pandemic.^[5]
