Walt Disney World has released new concept art and details for the upcoming Disney Lakeshore Lodge hotel coming to the shores of Bay Lake. While we’ve been tracking construction since we broke the news that it resumed back in September 2024, Disney has been silent on updates until now. Here’s a look at new concept art, along with fresh details on what guests can expect when it opens next Summer.
New Concept Art Disney Lakeshore Lodge
Previously announced in November 2024, 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.”
A Canvas of Natural Beauty
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.
Introducing Unique Accommodations — Waterfront Lake Houses
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 also introduce exclusive one- and two-bedroom Lake Houses positioned along the waterfront, offering guests an unparalleled connection to the beauty of Bay Lake. These distinctive accommodations will provide enhanced privacy and stunning water views.
