h2odivers...Ray 952 Posted January 9, 2019 Report Share Posted January 9, 2019 And isn’t there another 13 story high rise resort going up by the Swam & Dolphin? However, IIRC that will be a Marriott owned resort. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It certainly wouldn't be the first (or 50th) time the CM rumor mill was wrong. Agree. I was just so surprised how many CM were telling the same story. And then to have the front desk manager at WL repeat the rumor??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
geoffdaddy 33 Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 On 10/18/2018 at 2:31 PM, Tri-Circle-D said: 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???!? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
djsamuel 322 Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Looks like wetland pretreatment basins. Mostly used for stormwater and surface runoff to catch sediment or other particulates, IIRC. So, not sewers, but possibly mosquitos.

ImDownWithDisney 342 Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 I am pretty sure all sewage is handled at the plant just north of AK. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PGHFiend 140 Posted February 2, 2019 Report Share Posted February 2, 2019 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PghBob 31 Posted February 2, 2019 Report Share Posted February 2, 2019 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. PGHFiend and BradyBzLyn...Mo 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PghBob 31 Posted February 5, 2019 Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 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".

YENSIDCAMPER 66 Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 I hope we get some more Fiends on the scene this coming spring. We have plans for Fall and will report then. Sounds like the most anticipated or feared development has begun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
