Disney said the new resort will be built along Bay Lake in Lake Buena Vista, between Disney’s Wilderness Lodge and Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground.

According to Disney, the resort will include more the 900 hotel rooms and will be themed to "complement its natural surroundings."

Although it has not been named yet, the resort is slated to be the 16th Disney Vacation Club property and will be built on the old River County property, a former Disney water park.

The new resort will join three other resorts currently being built at Disney World that will add more than 1,700 hotel rooms in the next four years, the company said in a news release.
