Key Moments

Editorial Summary

The creator travels from Disney's Wilderness Lodge to Fort Wilderness via boat to observe the construction site of the former River Country water park. The video notes that the site is being demolished to make way for the Reflections Lakeside Lodge, a planned nine hundred room addition to the area. During the boat ride, the creator observes Discovery Island, noting its overgrown state and old buildings. An attempt to walk the path between Wilderness Lodge and Fort Wilderness is unsuccessful because the trail is blocked by roadwork and construction. The creator concludes the trip by visiting Fort Wilderness to see the horses and ponies at Tri Circle Trotters. While the creator was unable to get a close view of the River Country site due to the boat route and blocked pathways, they observe that the area currently consists of dirt and earthmovers with no remaining remnants of the former water slides or rock work.
