Letters from Lakeshore: Updates on Disney World’s Newest Resort

Welcome from the southern shores of Bay Lake at Walt Disney World Resort, soon to be the site of Disney Lakeshore Lodge!

Join me on this adventure by following Letters from Lakeshore as the envisioned nature-inspired resort takes shape. Much like a series of postcards, each update will reveal new details, from initial glimpses to final touches, including exclusive behind-the-scenes moments.

Experience the Enchantment and Splendor of Nature at Disney Lakeshore Lodge

Welcome to Disney Lakeshore Lodge, a lakeside sanctuary where visitors and their families can explore the marvels of nature through Disney's storytelling artistry.

Set to open at Walt Disney World Resort in the summer of 2027, Disney Lakeshore Lodge will honor the enchantment and beauty of nature as envisioned by Disney artists and storytellers. Inspired by Walt Disney’s enduring love for the outdoors, the resort's design will celebrate decades of animated tales centered on nature, subtly referencing classic films, from the verdant forests of Bambi and the vibrant breezes of Pocahontas to the expansive icy landscapes of Brother Bear.

Located along the serene banks of Bay Lake, Disney Lakeshore Lodge will encourage families to relax, appreciate their environment, and create treasured memories. Stunning floor-to-ceiling windows will invite natural light and offer views of the local flora and fauna, seamlessly integrating the outdoors with the resort's architecture, artwork, and atmosphere.

Featuring 967 meticulously designed rooms, this new member of the Disney Resorts Collection will provide various accommodation options, from cozy studios to expansive suites. Many rooms will boast tranquil views of Bay Lake during the day and breathtaking views of Magic Kingdom park fireworks at night. The resort will also introduce new one- and two-bedroom Lake Houses along the waterfront, giving families a closer connection to nature with ample space for relaxation.

In the coming months, I will reveal more about the dining venues, recreational activities, amenities, and unique design elements that will bring the essence of nature and the magic of Disney storytelling to life at Disney Lakeshore Lodge as they release.
