Disney4me Posted 1 hour ago Report Posted 1 hour ago We’re about a year from the grand opening of the newest hotel at Disney World, Lakeshore Lodge. ©Disney Disney has been slowly offering up new details about the new resort, which sits on the old site of Disney’s River Country, a water park that closed in 2001. The new hotel has a nature theme and will focus on Disney stories that revolve around nature, with details taken from films like Pocahontas, Bambi, Brother Bear, and more. We recently got a sneak peek at the pools of Lakeshore Lodge, but something has already changed with those pools. The pools in question sit in The Wetlands, a huge outdoor recreation area that sits just beyond Lakeshore Lodge’s lobby. The area is surrounded by Bay Lake and will include a pool at its heart. This pool was previously called Lakeside Lagoon, but Disney is now referring to it as Lakeshore Lagoon. It will be the resort’s zero-entry feature pool with a spiral waterslide. ©Disney On the opposite side of Lakeshore Lodge, you’ll find a pool that was previously called Perspective Pond, now called Cypress Point. This will be a leisure pool and whirlpool spa with views of the Magic Kingdom fireworks at night. Under construction One part of The Wetlands will include a kids’ area inspired by Pocahontas, specifically the lyrics “the heron and the otter are my friends” from the song “Colors of the Wind.” It’s called Otter Springs and will have interactive water features. ©Disney Heron Shores will offer hands-on play with climbing features. ©Disney A lazy river, Daydream River, will be nearby where guests can hop on a tube and relax as the current carries them through The Wetlands. ©Disney Those who take a walk through The Wetlands will be surprised with fun facts about the flora and fauna that surround them. There will even be a special plaque honoring an historic attraction that was once on that spot (presumably from Disney River Country). ©Disney We’ll be keeping an eye out for more updates on Lakeshore Lodge, so stay tuned to DFB for more.
