We’ve been keeping a close eye on the progress at this new Deluxe hotel and can’t wait for it to officially open. Lakeshore Lodge will be “inspired by the majesty of nature and its enduring influence on Disney artists.” Thanks to newly released photos, we now have a new aerial view of how things are progressing.

Thanks to @bioreconstruct over on X/Twitter, we’ve got a new aerial look at progress on the new Lakeshore Lodge Resort coming to the Magic Kingdom area at Disney World. The new hotel is expected to open sometime in 2027, though an official opening date or timeline has not yet been confirmed. In the photo below, you can see just how large of a footprint this hotel will have!

Lakeshore Lodge will be joining the Magic Kingdom area resorts, and you can see its location in relation to Wilderness Lodge (above), Fort Wilderness (below), and the Contemporary Resort (top right corner) in the photo below.

Originally, Disney announced a hotel called Reflections: A Lakeside Lodge for this space and pretty much never discussed it again, eventually turning the idea into Lakeshore Lodge instead.

The brand-new hotel will be “inspired by the majesty of nature and its enduring influence on Disney artists.” In previously released concept art, we can see what appears to be a sign above the entrance to the hotel saying “The Wonders of Nature are Endless”.

While we haven’t heard an update since the hotels changed names, originally this resort was announced as an ALL-NEW Disney Vacation Club hotel with more than 900 rooms. This could have changed since the new direction. In that concept art, we also saw some of these cabin-like rooms that appear to be up in the trees. Again, we aren’t sure, but this could be a possibility.

We can’t wait to see more of this hotel construction as it progresses, and we’ll be on the lookout for more! In the meantime, make sure you stay tuned to the Disney Food Blog for the latest Disney news.
