Disney Reveals First Look and Opening Season for Lakeshore Lodge

A First Look Inside Disney’s Lakeshore Lodge

Located on the southern shores of Bay Lake at Walt Disney World Resort, the future site of Disney Lakeshore Lodge is officially beginning to take shape.

To document the development of this nature-inspired destination, Disney has launched “Letters from Lakeshore,” a dedicated series on the Disney Parks Blog. Functioning like a collection of digital postcards, the series will provide ongoing updates as the resort comes to life. Readers can expect a steady stream of new details, ranging from initial concept reveals to the final finishing touches, alongside exclusive behind-the-scenes glimpses of the construction process.

Celebrate the Beauty and Magic of Nature at Disney Lakeshore Lodge

Introducing Disney Lakeshore Lodge, a waterfront retreat where guests and their loved ones will discover the wonder of nature through the artistry of Disney storytelling.

Projected to open at Walt Disney World Resort in summer 2027, Disney Lakeshore Lodge will celebrate the beauty and magic of nature as seen through the eyes of Disney artists and storytellers. Inspired by Walt Disney’s lifelong admiration for the great outdoors, the resort’s design will pay tribute to decades of animated stories rooted in nature, with subtle nods to classic films — from the lush forests of Bambi and the colorful winds of Pocahontas to the sweeping glacial landscapes of Brother Bear.

Nestled along the tranquil shores of Bay Lake, Disney Lakeshore Lodge will invite families to slow down, take in their surroundings, and create cherished memories together. Spectacular floor‑to‑ceiling windows will welcome natural sunlight and showcase views of the local flora and fauna, allowing the outdoors to flow seamlessly into the architecture, artwork, and ambiance.

With 967 thoughtfully designed rooms, this new addition to the Disney Resorts Collection will offer a variety of ways to stay, from cozy studios to spacious suites. Many rooms will offer peaceful views of Bay Lake by day and spectacular views of Magic Kingdom park fireworks by night. The resort will also debut with new one- and two-bedroom Lake Houses along the waterfront, offering families an even closer connection to nature with ample space to relax and unwind.
