Attack of the Lakeshore Lodge

Probably a dumb question....

I don't have tons of experience with lazy rivers. But aren't they usually a full "circle" so you can just keep going around? Why does this look like it's U-shaped?

I wonder what that means for the current bus sharing. When we stayed at BRV the last two years, we shared busses with Fort Wilderness a lot. I wonder if that will still be the case or not.

I would have to think that they won’t be sharing with WL any longer.

They can be lots of different shapes. But maybe they will only have one entrance and one exit?

I haven’t looked at it close enough

I believe this one will allow you to keep going around.

You can see in @BrianLo post the plans have a portion that hasn't had concrete poured yet.

Thanks! Is it ridiculous that a lazy river makes this resort enticing to me even though I'm a 44 year old woman and not a child?

Yeah it looks like the last portion of the lazy river is going to have a bridge/tunnel to allow access to the "island" in the middle of the river.

So they are likely waiting to do the bridge/tunnel and the last section of the river at the same time. Once they complete the bridge and last section it will be harder to work on anything in the middle, since they will have to haul everything across a probably small pedestrian bridge

I am right there with you!!

No I really only like the lazy river at Aulani pools. I am not a slide person. I like that I can hang with the family and not put my head under water.

Post Covid we got into BCV a few times and absolutely loved the Stormalog Bay's lazy river. Could spend all day in it. We will do DLL at least once in our lifetime.

I'm in my 50s and LOVE the lazy river at Aulani and spend hours there. I think they have a float with my name on it. This is why LSL is high on my list.

I might borrow your float in August!

Floating by and seeing Donald is the absolute best.

Makes me wish we had direct points!

My husband is 47 and has never been in a lazy river.

I can't imagine it will mirror the CCV/BRV chart, especially when it will most likely sleep more in each room category and be billed as a super ultra premium nature inspired resort.

My one devils advocate point to unbridled points escalation is the Fort Wilderness Cabins.

Perhaps DVC regrets that whole thing. But I largely feel like more of the points escalation is because the newest resorts are generally more desirable. Though a bit of both. BRV relaunch I suspect will just match CCV. Boardwalk and Beach Club misjudged desirability.

Even RIV was positioned by Disney as the “Second Grand“. I’m not getting that out of Disney this time, so I’d be pretty surprised if it came in above RIV. The firework room block very much excepted. They’ve found a creative way to jack up points via views. Which they kind of screwed up for RIV, the cheapest rooms have the most unobstructed views of the fireworks.
