The construction of the anticipated Reflections – A Disney Lakeside Lodge has resumed, marking a significant step forward with the arrival of a massive crane at the site last night. This development signals a renewed commitment to advancing this Disney Vacation Club project, which had been on hold for several years.
The Role of the Crane in Construction
The arrival of the crane is a pivotal moment for the construction efforts at Fort Wilderness. Standing at up to 240 feet tall, this crane will be instrumental in erecting the 10-story structure, providing the necessary support for moving heavy materials and assisting with foundational work. Its presence is a clear indication that the project is moving into a more active phase of development, with visible progress expected in the coming months.
Project Background and Current Status
Initially announced as Reflections – A Disney Lakeside Lodge, the project’s future remains somewhat flexible, with potential changes in naming and design details still possible, as Disney has yet to officially update these aspects. Despite these uncertainties, the restart of construction work is a positive sign for those anticipating the hotel’s completion. The site, which was previously paused due to the COVID-19 pandemic, is now bustling with activity, as workers lay the groundwork for the hotel’s infrastructure.
What the Future Holds
As construction progresses, the Fort Wilderness area will see increased activity, with more cranes and construction equipment expected to arrive. The project’s completion will eventually offer new lodging options for Disney Vacation Club members and guests, enhancing the resort experience with its lakeside location and thematic elements. The community eagerly awaits further announcements from Disney regarding the project’s timeline and additional features.
Conclusion
The arrival of the crane at the Reflections Fort Wilderness Hotel site marks a promising restart of construction efforts. As work accelerates, anticipation builds for what this project will bring to Disney’s Fort Wilderness area.
