Not only will a NEW Disney World Hotel open in less than a year, but it will also be built on Bay Lake, joining the list of iconic Magic Kingdom area hotels.
Lakeshore Lodge Preview
We are SO excited to experience Lakeshore Lodge when it officially opens in July 2027, but we don’t have to wait any longer for new details because Disney just dropped a model of the resort.
On our last visit to Hollywood Studios, we took a walk through Walt Disney Presents, which often has special displays or previews of upcoming attractions, when we saw a large model of Lakeshore Lodge!

So of course, we had to get a closer look and dive into all of the details we could find. Let’s start with the main pool area, The Wetlands:
Pool Area
This area is set to include multiple pools, a splash pad, and a lazy river. When looking at the big pool, we even spotted what looks like a treehouse water slide!
Is that a water slide?
Over at the splash pad, we were able to see more details on the large-scale animals in this space. This area is themed to Pocahontas, specifically the Herons and Otters referenced in “Colors of the Wind.” We saw a video several weeks ago where Imagineers were putting in the Otters, and in this model it looks like we can see a few Herons as well.

It looks as though one Heron will even be poking their head out over the lazy river, which we also got a closer look at.
We can’t wait for the lazy river!
Moving past The Wetlands, we also got a closer look at several of the buildings of the hotel, including what looks like it might be the exterior of the lobby.

We also got to see a look at the exterior of the rooms where you can see tiny details down to the balcony of each room!

We also got a look at the exterior of the A-Frame Cabins that will be sitting on the edge of the water overlooking Bay Lake.

Speaking of Bay Lake, we also saw the boat dock where guests will be able to board boats that will take them straight to Magic Kingdom!

We also saw what could be one of the quiet pools and a hot tub that appear to be next to Bay Lake, and might offer beautiful views of the water while you lounge.

We also got a few details outside the model, including three pieces of art set to inspire the artwork we will see inside the hotel rooms.

There was also more concept art….

…and even a model and concept art of a sparrow, which might be one of the animals we see around Lakeshore Lodge.
