Otis Elevator Tour and Renovation Update at Wilderness Lodge, Lake Buena Vista, FL

When I was out looking at Christmas Decorations with my mom, we decided to stop here at Disney's Wilderness Lodge in Lake Buena Vista, to find that it is getting an EXTENSIVE RENOVATION. As you could see, half of the main building and half of the elevator banks inside were closed off for renovation, a new pool was being built, along with some exterior renovations, cabins being built for Disney Vacation Club, etc. Unfortunately, the elevators in the main building are (or most likely will be modded) being modernized (or possibly getting ripped out and replaced, as one of the main elevators had its doors ripped out). I also saw some Otis stuff nearby so the Good news is that Otis is doing the mod/replacement, and that the elevators in the Villas are staying ORIGINAL Early Gen2's from 2000!!!! Only the Elevonic 411's from 1994 with the older Innovation are going, but it's still sad. Anyways, here is the last ride on some original Otis Elevonic 411 Elevators from 1994 on the untouched side of the main building, (along with a hallway tour on that side) which unfortunately, the elevators ran like crap, but that is because they haven't been maintained in 2 years!!!! I also rode the 2000 Otis Series 2 Gen2 Elevators which are going to stay original, but those buildings are getting renovated too. Anyways, enjoy the video!!!

Installed: 1994 (Main Building Elevators, Otis Elevonic 411 w/ Innovation Universal), 2000 (Villa Elevators, Otis Series 2 Gen2)

Being Modernized/Replaced: 2016-2017 (Main Building Elevators only, Otis Elevonic 411M/Gen2/Elevonic-R? With Newer Series 2 or 4, Series 4 mk1 or Series M2?)

Kone is modding the elevators at the Swan. One has been modded and one is being modded in each bank. They are very nice, and have Innovation Pinnacle fixtures.

Aww hopefully TK mods them. I kinda like it. Great video.

Are you certain those are Otis Elevonic 411s? I've never seen Otis elevators installed with Innovation, and those directional indicators look like US to me. I've never seen an Innovation lantern like that, nor have I seen an Innovation call button shaped like an arrow. Also, those Innovation Universal fixtures aren't the earliest. They were introduced in the 80s.

I was there about 3 weeks ago and they had innovation still.

We got to find Series 2 Gen2 with the newer Otis voice.
