As the imposing 10-story hotel structure continues to rise at the upcoming Disney Lakeshore Lodge hotel at Fort Wilderness, early work has begun on what we assume will be some waterfront cabins. The cabins, which will be located to the northeast and southwest of the hotel complex, will likely be similar to the Copper Creek Cabins offering at the Wilderness Lodge hotel nearby. Here’s a look at the work so far for the cabins that will replace Clementine’s Beach at the Fort Wilderness boat launch area.
Lakeshore Lodge Cabins Under Construction at Fort Wilderness
Before we take a look at construction, here’s a look at a permit screenshot where I highlighted various elements of the project. In the screenshot below, we can see the sprawling hotel complex highlighted in red, the existing Pioneer Hall building highlighted in green, and then some cabins highlighted in blue. It is the cabins in the upper right of the screenshot that we’re concerned with for this article.
Ok, with a look at the permit, let’s take a look back at the beachfront area that has been replaced by construction equipment as Disney works to build the lakefront cabins.
And here’s a look at the area from our recent visit to Fort Wilderness.
In addition to the framing seen above, it looks like there is some infrastructure work underway too for the new cabins that will be just steps away from Pioneer Hall and the Fort Wilderness boat launch area. It is believed that the boat launch dock will be adjusted as well as part of the work in the coming year or so before Disney Lakeshore Lodge opens in 2027.

The cabins will be nice – but at the top
echelon on pricing for DVC points. So sad to see the beach area go away as it is THE fireworks viewing platform for Fort Wilderness.
When they redo all the docks, maybe they should plan on a very large platform viewing area accessible for FW campers rather than cutting them off
It’s clear that Disney is concerned with hosting the wealthy and I’d be surprised if they don’t close all of FW in the future so they can build another huge expensive resort.
