Do we know where the main Lakeshore Lodge (LL) road access will be?

It looks like there will be a couple options. I was curious if any of the plans set out where the main road access will be.

Man we need to adopt a better abbreviation. I could not figure out why you needed a road to access a lightening lane… coffee calls…

Is it possibly the new Fort Wilderness DVC Lakeshore Lodge? (Hey, I'm the one getting old and forgetful!)

Yes. I thought it would be clear in the Resort section but I’m still working on my coffee as well. Edited the title.

I would think LSL would be a better abbreviation since LL is already used.

The entrance plans are not currently confirmed. My personal opinion/speculation is that it will be via Timberline Drive (current WL entrance) and it will be modified to be the entrance for both WL and LSL, with LSL guests turning right on W Wilderness Road (first right past the guard house, current road that serves WDW transportation access between WL and FW). It's also possible they intend to use the current backstage service routes on Frontier Way that connects to an access road the winds behind the Stolport and make an entrance on Vista Boulevard, but there haven't been any stormwater permits or plans suggesting as such and that area is currently relatively backstage-y. A Timberline Drive/West Wilderness Way entry would be the most direct and efficient in terms of distance and utilizing existing infrastructure, in my opinion.

Constructing a road from Vista way seems unlikely as that's a lot of forest land to cut through, and I don't see attaching it to Fort Wilderness' entrance having to head through or around the entire campground...so it seems Timberline is the most logical, shortest, and easiest since they can use mostly pre-existing roadways - maybe a widening of Timberline into two lanes in, so traffic can more easily split left for Wilderness Lodge or right for Lakeshore Lodge via Wilderness Road - and Wilderness Road will likely be the bus route combining Wilderness Lodge, Lakeshore Lode, and Fort Wilderness as it already serves now between the two existing resorts.
