Lakeshore Lodge is a new Disney Vacation Club Resort hotel, but that doesn’t mean only DVC members can stay there. The hotel will “celebrate the beauty and magic of nature as seen through the eyes of Disney artists and storytellers,” and is inspired by Walt Disney’s love of the outdoors. We’ll get to see hints of Bambi, Pocahontas, and Brother Bear in the design.

The hotel will feature 967 rooms, ranging from “cozy studios to spacious suites.” Guests will be able to cool off in The Wetlands, which will feature epic water features, or you can relax in the Daydream River that travels through the pool area. In the heart of the area, you’ll find Lakeside Lagoon, which is a zero-entry pool for guests of all ages, and it’s even got a spiral waterslide!

Kiddos will also be able to enjoy an area just for them, where they’ll be able to “become part of nature’s story through whimsical wet and dry play areas inspired by the music and storytelling of Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Pocahontas.” Additionally, Heron Shores will bring exploration and hands-on play to kids via its climbing features, Otter Springs will have lots of interactive water fun, and there will be a leisure pool located on the other side of the resort.
