Disney Vacation Club recently shared more details about the proposed Disney Lakeshore Lodge, a breathtaking new resort projected to open at Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando in summer 2027.
Nestled along the shores of Bay Lake in Orange County, this tranquil Central Florida waterfront retreat will invite members and guests to celebrate the beauty and magic of nature, as seen through the eyes of Disney artists and storytellers.
Disney Lakeshore Lodge will celebrate the profound connection between nature and imagination, a bond at the heart of Walt Disney’s artistic vision. From the lush forests of “Bambi” to the colorful winds of “Pocahontas” and the majestic glacial peaks of “Brother Bear,” the resort will pay homage to decades of beloved animated stories inspired by the great outdoors. Subtle nods to these timeless stories will appear throughout the property, woven seamlessly into the architecture, artwork and ambiance to create an immersive experience where families feel surrounded by the enchantment of nature.
“We’re excited to share our vision for Disney Lakeshore Lodge, a place where the magic of Disney storytelling comes alive through the beauty of the natural world,” said Bill Diercksen, senior vice president and general manager, Disney Vacation Club. “Inspired by Walt Disney’s lifelong admiration for the great outdoors, this resort will offer our members and guests an opportunity to reconnect with nature while creating cherished family memories at Walt Disney World Resort.”
Disney Lakeshore Lodge will embrace its surroundings as an integral part of the guest experience. Expansive floor-to-ceiling windows will frame the resort’s lush landscape, inviting natural sunlight to illuminate thoughtfully designed spaces. The resort’s premier location along Bay Lake will offer serene views of native flora and fauna by day and spectacular views of Magic Kingdom Park fireworks illuminating the sky by night.
Disney Lakeshore Lodge will feature 967 themed accommodations, ranging from convenient studios to spacious multi-bedroom villas, designed with families in mind. Studios and villas will combine sophisticated style with the comfort and functionality guests have come to love, featuring warm natural materials, earthy color palettes and upscale amenities.
Disney Lakeshore Lodge will introduce exclusive one- and two-bedroom Lake Houses positioned along the waterfront, offering guests an unparalleled connection to the beauty of Bay Lake in Orlando. These distinctive accommodations will provide enhanced privacy and stunning water views.
Additional details will be shared in the coming months about the resort’s dining venues, recreational offerings, unique amenities and distinctive design elements that will bring the spirit of nature and Disney storytelling to life.
