The countdown has begun! Disney's Lakeshore Lodge is set to open on July 1, 2027, at Walt Disney World Resort. They're celebrating this announcement with an exclusive preview of the guest rooms before reservations begin in early October.


With 967 carefully crafted rooms, Disney's Lakeshore Lodge will offer various accommodation options, ranging from cozy duo studios and spacious villas to unique waterfront Lake Houses. Each room type will reflect the natural beauty through the lens of Disney artists and storytellers, featuring natural materials, earthy color schemes, and original artwork from classic Disney films set in nature.


Introducing Waterfront Lake Houses


Exclusively at Disney’s Lakeshore Lodge, the one- and two-bedroom Lake Houses will provide a close connection to nature with ample space to relax along the shores of Bay Lake. These distinctive freestanding retreats will showcase dramatic A-frame architecture, expansive floor-to-ceiling windows, and stunning waterfront views.


Accommodating up to five or eight guests, respectively, the Lake Houses will include a private porch overlooking the water, a full kitchen, and a washer and dryer. Inside, artwork will celebrate Walt Disney Animation Studios' “Brother Bear,” with references to the film's Alaskan setting and themes of nature and discovery. The primary bedroom will feature a striking Northern Lights-inspired lighting element casting a serene glow at night.



Nature-Inspired Studios and Villas


Duo studios will offer a vibrant and cozy retreat for two, inspired by the lively spirit of Disney Animation’s “Encanto.”


Deluxe studios will bring to life the woodland charm of Disney Animation’s “Bambi” with warm natural materials, original concept art from the Walt Disney Archives, and comfortable living spaces for up to four guests.


Larger families can enjoy one- or two-bedroom villas, accommodating up to five and nine guests, respectively. Also inspired by “Bambi,” these spacious accommodations will feature soft earth tones, subtle forest motifs, and artwork reflecting the film's natural landscapes. With full kitchens, washers and dryers, private patios, and roomy living and dining areas, these villas will offer plenty of space to relax and recharge after a day at the Disney Parks.

Designed for multigenerational families, three-bedroom grand villas will celebrate the artistry of Disney Animation's "Fantasia." Each grand villa will accommodate up to 12 guests and include multiple bathrooms, a full kitchen, a private patio with stunning Bay Lake views, and ample gathering spaces for any occasion.


Elevated Resort Rooms and Suites


In addition to deluxe studios and villas, Disney's Lakeshore Lodge will offer resort studios for up to four guests and resort studio king rooms for up to two guests. Drawing inspiration from the natural beauty of Disney Animation’s “Pocahontas,” these rooms will feature earthy colors and artistic elements from the archives that bring the film’s sweeping landscapes to life.


Guests in select club level resort rooms will have access to The Artist's Nest, a concierge lounge above the treetops, offering personalized service, complimentary refreshments, and exclusive views of the Magic Kingdom fireworks.


For those seeking an elevated getaway, the Hidden Willow Presidential Suite will offer elegant accommodations with tranquil views of Bay Lake by day and spectacular views of Magic Kingdom Park fireworks by night. Accommodating up to six guests, this spacious suite will include two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a full kitchen, and a washer and dryer, plus access to The Artist's Nest.
