History

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

At Destination D on 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 progressing, 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]

On November 26, 2024, it was announced that the resort would be renamed to Disney Lakeshore Lodge, which will be opening in 2027.^[6][7]
