Disney Vacation Club has shared more details about Disney Lakeshore Lodge, a nature-inspired resort due to open at Walt Disney World Resort in summer 2027.
Located along the shores of Bay Lake, Lakeshore Lodge is described as a peaceful waterfront retreat for Disney Vacation Club members and guests.
Announced in November 2024, Lakeshore Lodge will pay homage to Disney's animated films inspired by the great outdoors, such as Bambi, Pocahontas and Brother Bear.

Nods to these stories will appear throughout the resort, woven into the architecture, artworks and ambience to offer an immersive experience.
"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."
The resort will feature expansive floor-to-ceiling windows to frame its lush landscape. By day, it will provide views of native flora and fauna, and by night, views of Magic Kingdom's fireworks.

Lakeshore Lodge will include 967 themed accommodations, ranging from studios to spacious multi-bedroom villas, as well as exclusive lake houses along the waterfront.
Disney Vacation Club will share more information in the coming months regarding the resort's dining venues, recreational offerings, unique amenities, and distinctive design elements.
There are a total of 17 Disney Vacation Club properties across four states, including the new Island Tower addition at Disney's Polynesian Villas & Bungalows.
