Disney Lakeshore Lodge Opening in 2027

Written by Joshua Posted November 26th, 2024

Disney Lakeshore Lodge, a new Disney Vacation Club resort, is set to open on the shores of Bay Lake in 2027. The new resort replaces the previously planned Reflections – A Disney Lakeside Lodge, a project that was discontinued during the pandemic.

“Projected to open in 2027, this proposed new Disney Vacation Club property will be located alongside the shores of Bay Lake at Walt Disney World Resort. The resort will be inspired by the majesty of nature and its enduring influence on Disney artists. The proposed Disney Lakeshore Lodge will be located within the same footprint of the previously announced Reflections – A Disney Lakeside Lodge resort. Additional information will be released at a later time.”

This new property will change the vibe of Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground. A 10-story hotel will tower over Pioneer Hall, Crockett’s Tavern, and the Tri-Circle-D Ranch.

We’re DVC owners. We’ll be staying at Disney Lakeshore Lodge, but I’m certain many at Fort Wilderness would rather we not have the opportunity. I trust Disney to build a beautiful resort. I just wish it was going up somewhere else.

We took a water taxi to Fort Wilderness on Saturday evening. I was able to snap a few pics of the Lakeshore Lodge construction. The sunset photos are beautiful, even with the cranes in the way. Those views are going to change drastically in the next few years.
