Gen Z and Millennial Disney Adults Can’t Stop Fighting Over This Controversial Announcement

[Disney4me]

Disney Adults have some seriously strong opinions. We’re a passionate bunch — and that’s especially true when it comes to changes at Disney World.

But, that doesn’t mean that all Disney Adults share the same opinions about such changes. In fact, lately, we’ve seen quite a split between different generations of Disney fans — and there’s one controversial announcement Gen Z and Millennial Disney Adults can’t stop fighting over.

A brand-new Disney World hotel is opening in 2027! Disney Lakeshore Lodge will be located where the previously announced Reflections — A Disney Lakeside Lodge Resort was supposed to be built. Reflections was announced back in 2019 with an expected opening date of 2022, but construction was halted after the 2020 global health crisis. It was set to occupy the former home of Disney’s River Country water park near Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground.

The brand-new hotel will be “inspired by the majesty of nature and its enduring influence on Disney artists,” and will be a new Disney Vacation Club property.

It sounds pretty majestic, right? Well, not all Disney Adults agree! In fact, even our team seems to be divided on the announcement — and it seems to be split between Gen Z and Millennials.

The Millennials here at DFB seem to be pretty excited about the new hotel and what it will likely bring to Disney World — new restaurants, shopping, and a new space to explore. And, while it will be a Disney Vacation Club hotel, that doesn’t mean only DVC Members will be able to stay here!

On the other hand, though, Gen Z DFB doesn’t seem to be as excited about Lakeshore Lodge. Most of them agreed that they likely wouldn’t be staying there anytime soon because of the price — unless someone else pays for it.

Since Lakeshore Lodge will be a brand-new Deluxe hotel, it will likely be quite pricey when it first opens, though we don’t have any official pricing just yet.

We also don’t have too many details on what sort of footprint the new hotel will have. When Disney originally announced Reflections, they shared that it would have more than 900 rooms. It’s possible Lakeshore Lodge will have the same — or a similar — design and style that Reflections was originally supposed to have.

While we don’t have too many details about Lakeshore Lodge just yet, we do know that we’re looking forward to there being even more Disney World to explore.
