First Look at Branch & Brush

In just a few days, you will be able to start booking your stay at Disney’s Lakeshore Lodge. Before reservations commence on October 8, here are some additional insights from within the resort, including a new perspective on the grand lobby and an initial look at Branch & Brush, a new gathering area just around the riverbend.

A standout feature of the lobby will be its large floor-to-ceiling windows, welcoming the beauty of nature as you arrive. Inspired by the music and storytelling of Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Pocahontas, a sparkling fiberoptic river will light up the floor, flowing around a custom bronze centerpiece crafted by Walt Disney Imagineering.

Upon closer inspection, you will notice many familiar characters from decades of Disney animated stories etched into its design, while above, the blown glass Colors of the Wind sculpture, with hundreds of suspended glass leaves, will fill the area with movement, color, and wonder.

Beyond the lobby, you will discover Branch & Brush, a new lounge offering handcrafted cocktails and stunning views of Bay Lake.

Inspired by the beauty of the changing seasons, the space will showcase rich colors, natural textures, and a captivating collection of artwork. At the center of the lounge, a mesmerizing color-changing chandelier will bring the beauty of all four seasons to life, creating a welcoming atmosphere where you can relax after a day of adventure.

From watching the sunrise over Bay Lake to enjoying a nightcap at Branch & Brush, every moment at Disney’s Lakeshore Lodge will encourage you to explore the wonder of nature and the enchantment of Disney storytelling.
