I’ll be curious on what amenities will be added. Lazy river pool? Doesn’t seem like a surprise as this has always been rumored for years.
I certainly hope there is some kind of water park at the new resort. One area Disney resorts really need improvement is the pool area. All the resorts should have facilities like Stormalong Bay.
My understanding is that there will NEVER be another pool like Stormalong Bay. SB is listed by the govt as, and licensed as, a Water Park, NOT a swimming pool. It has much stricter codes, requirements, maintenance, health and staffing issues than a regular pool. This makes it cost much more to use and maintain. Since Disney could only recoup this cost by charging extra for the rooms, and that would cut into their profits, and people aren’t DEMANDING it anyway, there is very little chance that Disney will ever go to that expense.
I know ‘River Country’ has a history and a heritage, but you can fully expect Disney to downplay that water Park history and play up the ‘natural’ aspects.
