In just a week, Disney World will be opening up reservations for its brand new hotel, Lakeshore Lodge, which opens in July, 2027. As a result, Disney has been dropping a TON of new details about the new hotel, including some brand new concept art of its lobby and lobby lounge (and y’all, it is STUNNING).

Well, Disney is doing even MORE to promote its newest hotel, and if you live anywhere near New York City, you’ll want to visit Flatiron Public Plaza because a huge pop-up art installation dedicated to the hotel is there for a few days. We got a chance to visit it ourselves, and we’re bringing you along with us.
The art installation will be available on October 1st from 2 PM to 6 PM and October 2nd from 10 AM to 5 PM, so there’s still time to see it.
Lakeshore Lodge pop-up installation
The art installation features a massive mural by Tracy Lee Stum, an acclaimed American street muralist who has received numerous awards for her work around the world, including a 2006 Guinness World Record for the largest chalk painting by an individual. She’s known for her colorful, interactive 3D chalk art, and you can see why. The artwork at the pop-up is inspired by Lakeshore Lodge’s Daydream River, the lazy river coming to the hotel.
Look at this mural!
We even spotted a not-so-hidden Mickey in the artwork. We’ll be keeping an eye out for this in real life, too!

Disney even dropped some inner tubes on the art so you can get the feeling of floating down the lazy river and take some fun photos. Are these the tubes we’ll see at the resort? They look legit, but we’ll have to wait and see!
Fun photo ops
Around the art, you’ll find various pieces of concept art (which we’ve already seen) of Lakeshore Lodge, as well as concept art of The Wetlands, its huge outdoor recreation area.

There are also some places where you can just sit and chill for a while.

The pop-up has a lot of fun Disney and Lakeshore Lodge details that will get you really excited about the new hotel.

So if you find yourself in or near New York City over the next few days, you’ll want to make sure you drop by to see this huge sidewalk mural for yourself.
