A ground-breaking ceremony was held Tuesday for The Cove, a new hotel tower that will be at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort.

Disney is also working on a nature-inspired resort called Reflections - A Disney Lakeside Lodge, the new Riviera Resort and an expansion at Disney's Coronado Resort.
