New ‘Nature-Inspired’ Resort Coming to Walt Disney World

Walt Disney World Resort revealed plans last week to open a new hotel located on Bay Lake where the former River Country water park was once located, the company said.

Set between Disney’s Wilderness Lodge and Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground at Walt Disney World Resort, the nature-themed resort will bring a total of more than 900 hotel rooms and proposed Disney Vacation Club villas online over the next four years.

The soon-to-be named resort is slated to be Disney’s 16th Disney Vacation Club property when it opens in 2022.
