Walt Disney World has announced that Disney's Lakeshore Lodge will officially open its doors on 1 July 2027.

Situated along the peaceful shores of Bay Lake, the new waterfront resort will offer 967 rooms. The design focuses on the beauty of the natural world and draws inspiration from classic Disney animation.

Rooms Inspired by Nature

The resort provides a wide range of accommodation options to suit families and solo travellers alike. Each space features natural materials and earthy colour palettes.
