Disney Lakeshore Lodge Construction Update for November 2025

Disney Lakeshore Lodge Construction

Lakeshore Lodge Construction Rises High Above the Pines at Disney’s Fort Wilderness

On our latest visit to Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground, we caught a fresh look at one of the Magic Kingdom area’s biggest upcoming additions as Lakeshore Lodge continues to rise skyward. Tucked right along the shores of Bay Lake, the new resort is now unmistakably towering above the treeline, giving guests their clearest look yet at what’s coming to this long-anticipated project.

Related: Disney Lakeshore Lodge to have a Lazy River According to Aerial Photos

Disney Lakeshore Lodge Construction

If the silhouette feels familiar, there’s a reason. Lakeshore Lodge is the revived and reimagined version of the once-announced Reflections: A Lakeside Lodge, a project that was paused during COVID and quietly restarted last year. With scaffolding up, roofing installed, and large portions of the structure now closed in, it’s clear that Disney is making steady progress toward its planned 2027 opening.

From Fort Wilderness, you can already make out the resort’s split layout. The hotel rooms sit on the left side of the property, closest to the Campground. On the right side, the structure extends into what will become the Disney Vacation Club villas, offering those coveted lake-facing views. Several windows and exterior panels are in place, and you can clearly spot balconies taking shape along multiple levels of the main building.

Lakeshore-Lodge-1024x576

One of the most interesting features coming to Lakeshore Lodge is the row of planned A-frame cabins positioned directly along the shoreline. These distinctive bungalows appear to be two-story structures, likely with a bedroom loft on the upper level facing Bay Lake. If the early designs hold true, these may become some of the most unique (and in-demand) accommodations on Disney property.

For longtime Disney fans, this location is packed with nostalgia. Lakeshore Lodge is being built on the former home of River Country, the iconic water park that closed in 2001. Today, the area is transforming into a serene and modern retreat, blending Fort Wilderness’s rustic charm with new DVC offerings and resort amenities.

With vertical construction now clearly visible from multiple vantage points around Bay Lake, Lakeshore Lodge is quickly becoming a standout addition to the Magic Kingdom resort area. Expect more details on room layouts, dining options, and DVC sales as the project continues toward its 2027 debut.

Walt Disney Presents is already a popular wintertime stop thanks to its annual Santa Claus meet and greet, but this year the attraction becomes a full sleigh ride of seasonal storytelling. Think of it as the North Pole’s favorite film festival, but with better air conditioning.

TIM ALLEN, ERIC LLOYD
THE SANTA CLAUSE – Tim Allen provides answers — warm and funny answers — to some of the world’s most vexing questions: How can Santa come down your chimney if you don’t have a fireplace? How does he get to every house in the world in just one night? And how do you get a job like that, anyway? (DISNEY/ATTILA DORY) TIM ALLEN, ERIC LLOYD

A peek at the new exhibit shows Disney diving deep into four beloved holiday productions. If you grew up quoting The Santa Clause, you’re covered. If Noelle warmed your heart, it’s here. If Babes in Toyland still lives rent-free in your head, Merry Christmas. And if you can never get enough Muppets Christmas Carol (which is truly the only correct number of times to watch it), then yes, Tiny Tim is ready for his spotlight.

Muppets Christmas Carol

And because no visit to Walt Disney Presents is complete without a show, the theater is rolling out a new slate of animated holiday classics. Expect crowd pleasers that pair perfectly with hot cocoa season, including On Ice, Pluto’s Christmas Tree, and The Art of Skiing. If this lineup doesn’t make you feel like you’re living inside a vintage Mickey Christmas card, nothing will.

Disney’s Q4 Earnings Show Flat Revenue For Fourth Quarter 2025

Disney’s Q Earnings Show Flat Revenue For Fourth Quarter

Disney’s Q4 Earnings Show Roughly Flat Revenue as TV Troubles Deepen and YouTube TV Blackout Drains $30 Million Per Week

The Walt Disney Company released its fourth quarter earnings for fiscal year 2025, and while the numbers technically fall into the “mixed results” category, one theme is impossible to ignore. Disney’s TV business continues to shrink, and the company is now knee-deep in its longest-ever carriage dispute: the blackout of Disney-owned channels on YouTube TV. The standoff is costing an estimated $30 million per week, and Disney has officially told investors it has no idea how long the blackout will continue.

Disney’s Q4 Earnings Show Flat Revenue For Fourth Quarter 2025

Quarterly Revenue: Basically Flat, and TV Is the Reason Why

Disney reported fourth quarter revenue of $22.46 billion, essentially identical to last year’s $22.57 billion. When a company Disney’s size stabilizes revenue instead of growing it, something big is happening behind the scenes. This time, that “something big” is TV.

Linear networks were down another 16 percent in revenue for the quarter and down 21 percent in operating income. Domestic advertising dropped due to declining viewership, the absence of political advertising, and a weaker programming slate.

Disney’s own wording in its filings summed it up: continued softness in traditional TV, coupled with weakening ad rates, weighed heavily on results.

If you’re thinking that this sounds like a story we’ve heard before, you’re not wrong. But the YouTube TV blackout has poured gasoline on the fire.

The YouTube TV Battle: Disney Confirms It “Cannot Predict” When It Will End

In a newly updated risk factor in its 10-K, Disney disclosed that its channels were removed from YouTube TV on October 30 after the companies failed to reach a new distribution contract. ESPN, ABC, FX, Disney Channel and more have now been dark on YouTube TV for two weeks, the longest blackout in Disney’s history.

And the update that raised eyebrows?

Disney told investors it “cannot predict how long this service blackout will last or reasonably estimate the adverse impact” on its operations.

Morgan Stanley estimates Disney is losing $30 million every single week the channels remain unavailable. That number includes lost affiliate fees and lost advertising tied to YouTube TV’s massive subscriber base.

So far, this is a double hit: TV is declining, and one of its most important distribution partners is offline. Disney also warned that several other distribution contracts expire in 2026, which means more blackouts are possible.

Sports Rights Costs Add Further Pressure

Disney also highlighted another challenge: sports rights fees are rising sharply, and there’s no guarantee that revenue from sports programming will exceed the cost of airing it.

For ESPN, already under strain from the blackout, these costs pose an additional long-term challenge. And with the new ESPN direct-to-consumer service launching in August, marketing and programming costs surged in Q4.

Entertainment Was Softer, but Streaming Did Its Job

Entertainment revenue fell 6 percent for the quarter, primarily because this year’s theatrical slate couldn’t compete with last year’s juggernauts like Inside Out 2 and Deadpool & Wolverine.

But there was a bright spot: streaming.

Direct-to-Consumer operating income rose 39 percent to $352 million. Disney+ and Hulu added over 12 million subscriptions combined, pushing their total to nearly 196 million. Those gains helped soften the blow from TV declines.

Parks and Experiences Brought the Pixie Dust (Again)

The Experiences division delivered a strong quarter with operating income rising 13 percent. Not only did domestic parks remain resilient, but Disneyland Paris and the international parks turned in strong results.

Disney Cruise Line also continued its growth streak following the launch of the Disney Treasure and the ramp-up toward two more ships in 2026.

Yet even with those gains, the strength of the parks wasn’t enough to fully outweigh the linear TV decline this quarter.

So What Does This All Mean?

Disney’s Q4 was a tale of two businesses. Streaming and parks continue to grow reliably — a major win for fans dreaming of new attractions, lands, and cruise experiences. But TV, once the backbone of Disney’s financial engine, is shrinking faster than new revenue streams can replace it.

And the YouTube TV blackout is only making things harder. Disney doesn’t know when it will end. It doesn’t know how much the damage will total. And the company is losing tens of millions per week in the meantime.

Investors seemed relatively calm about the quarter overall, but as long as ESPN and ABC remain dark on one of the largest streaming TV platforms in the country, the pressure will only grow.
