Love how many are jumping to conclusions based on just started construction.

No not really since we have the Polynesian Island Tower as a fine example of what ugly looks like. No real theming beyond some painted side walls that are so subtle that almost no one even notices. Just a massive Concrete mass like any generic hotel.

We obviously have different tastes. I watched that tower being built (I'm local) and in its final form. I think it works well as a finished product.

But, if you want to talk about a massive concrete mass, that's my opinion of the Contemporary. Do you like that building?

I knew you would bring up the Contemporary which was built some 55 years ago as a futuristic style but it did have a specific design point with a massive atrium and the monorail running through it.

No I never loved the A-Frame but Disney did much better with the original Polynesian, Wilderness Lodge, Beach Club, Yacht Club, Grand Floridian, and the moderates until the Gran Destino Tower addition towering over a small pond at Coronado springs.

Even the Boardwalk Inn and the 2 BW DVC buildings are clad in a facade that matched the general theming of Crescent Lake as they sit right on the waters edge.

Lakeshore won’t be as tall as Island Tower, and the concept art looked like it might have more stone and wood than island. Island would look a lot better if it was farther from the shore and not squeezed between the nearby buildings.

Sorry but it will be 10 stories tall just like the Island Tower. Please go back and read some of the press, some even reported that it might be 12 stories tall which it will not be.

Doesn’t look ten stories in this picture. I’m thinking 5 or 6, like Wilderness lodge.
