The proposed resort (that's the legal term that Disney must use for a DVC property before it opens) will stand on the shore of Bay Lake on the site of Disney's first - and long abandoned - water park.

"The resort will be inspired by the majesty of nature and its enduring influence on Disney artists," Disney said in its press release today.
