....Oh well, I guess that's progress.
Edit that to say..."that's Change"...
The "progress" is still TBD, I believe.

Anyone recall around 10 yrs ago when Disney cleared all the trees and shrubs at the Fort and replanted them with native species. A lot of folks blew a gasket over that and claimed the Fort was ruined, now most folks dont even remember it.
Looks good, not quite as frontier as I had expected but still not bad.Looks like "progress" continues.
Tri-Circle-D is closing this weekend and here is the concept art for the new stables.

Am I missing it or does the story say exactly where the barn is going ? I cant recall seeing anything certain about its new location. BTW, we love visiting at the barn, the CM's are very passionate about the horses and they have some really fun stories about them.
So bear with me, guys. I've been trying to visualize. We've been to FW twice and this last time was when we finally (kinda) got our 'bearings'. The 'current' beach to the left of the dock will be 'replaced' with bungalows and a 'new' beach will be to the right of the dock? And as near as I can figure, the whole Settlement Depot area (Hoop dee do, TE, Crockets et al) will become part of the new resort as it takes over the Beach, the Ranch, and the area 'behind' the 700 loop?
Is there going to be a clear 'delineation' between FW and that area of Reflections?
BTW, IMO that's a dumb name. They could have come up with something a bit more rustic.
.....Next thing you know they'll be hopping over to the Meadow Pool and that ain't allowed either....
As for the Settlement buildings, From blue prints posted earlier, parking lots for Reflections will come up behind Crockett's, Pioneer Hall with HDDR and Trails End. The "view" from that area is towards the Trading post and the 100 and 700 loop, so I don't think most will notice the parking.

I'm sort of in line with Teamubr, Stormy.
The one thing in your statement I'm not ready to acquiesce to is that the Settlement Depot area (HDDR, TE, Crockets) will be part of the new resort. Those sections are facing the classic Fort camping loops and are heavily themed towards the classic Fort design. The new resort (and yes the name sucks) appears to have a more modern design so even though it will be close to our Fort properties, from a design/theming standpoint Pioneer Hall (HDDR, TE, Cr) will visually remain part of the Fort.
Even if they have those tacky bungalows over the beach. In case any of those folks try to soak up some of our abundant, overflowing, life-giving ambiance of the classic Fort, I'll be ready for them on my edge of the 100 loop:
Next thing you know they'll be hopping over to the Meadow Pool and that ain't allowed either.

More reassurance!! And I will be standing right next to you in the 100 loop with my own trusty Red Ryder BB gun etc etc and the thing in the stock which tells time. We stayed in 100 in May and absolutely loved the location.
