Disney Vacation Club has revealed the full guest‑room lineup for Disney’s Lakeshore Lodge, the new waterfront resort that will sit on Bay Lake and be reachable by a short boat ride from the iconic Magic Kingdom Park. The property, slated to open in the summer of 2027, will feature a total of 967 rooms and will begin accepting reservations from the general public on October 8, with travel advisors also able to secure bookings.
The centerpiece of the resort is the Lake House, a striking freestanding retreat that offers either a one‑ or two‑bedroom layout. Its A‑frame silhouette is complemented by floor‑to‑ceiling windows that frame expansive water views, while a private porch extends onto the lake itself. Inside, guests will find a full kitchen, a washer and dryer, and a Northern Lights‑inspired lighting feature that sets a magical tone in the primary bedroom. The one‑bedroom version accommodates five guests, and the larger two‑bedroom model can host up to eight, each reflecting the “Brother Bear” theme that ties the design to the beloved Disney film.
Beyond the flagship Lake House, the resort’s inventory spans the familiar DVC mix of studios and villas, each drawing inspiration from a different Disney classic. Couples and solo travelers can enjoy Duo studios themed after “Encanto,” which include a well‑equipped kitchenette, a split bathroom for added privacy, and a queen‑size pull‑down bed that maximizes space. For families seeking a bit more room, Deluxe studios channel “Bambi,” offering a private balcony, a comfortable seating area, and the capacity to sleep up to four guests.
One‑ and two‑bedroom villas also carry the “Bambi” motif, featuring full kitchens, washers and dryers, and private patios that invite guests to unwind outdoors. The three‑bedroom grand villas, inspired by “Fantasia,” are designed for larger groups, providing multiple bathrooms, a spacious full kitchen, and a private patio that overlooks the water, delivering a serene setting for gatherings of up to twelve. Additionally, the resort includes Resort studios and Resort studio kings themed after “Pocahontas,” with carved wood paneling and scenic murals that evoke the film’s natural beauty; the studio king version is tailored for two guests.

Guests staying in select rooms will receive access to The Artist’s Nest, an raised concierge lounge perched above the treetops. This exclusive space offers complimentary refreshments and panoramic views of the resort, allowing visitors to soak in the surroundings while enjoying a quiet retreat. At the pinnacle of the accommodations, the two‑bedroom Hidden Willow Presidential Suite provides a luxurious experience, complete with Magic Kingdom fireworks views at night, a full kitchen, a washer and dryer, and lounge access that enhances the stay for six guests.
The outdoor amenities at Lakeshore Lodge are designed to appeal to a wide range of interests. The Wetlands recreation area, inspired by “Pocahontas,” features both wet and dry play zones, a lazy river that winds through the setting, and a zero‑entry pool equipped with a spiral water slide that adds a playful element for families and thrill‑seekers alike. These water attractions are complemented by the resort’s dining venues, which include Moonglade, a signature waterfront table‑service restaurant that promises a refined culinary experience with lake views; Bay Lake Provisions, an all‑day marketplace offering a variety of quick‑service options; and Paint Out Point Bar & Grill, a poolside spot perfect for casual meals and refreshing drinks.
Staying at Lakeshore Lodge also grants guests the standard Disney Resorts Collection benefits, such as extra park time and complimentary transportation throughout Walt Disney World Resort. A dedicated water taxi service will shuttle guests directly to Magic Kingdom, ensuring a seamless connection between the resort’s tranquil lakeside setting and the busy excitement of the park.
