Disney’s forthcoming Lakeshore Lodge will include a lobby-adjacent lounge called Branch & Brush when the Bay Lake resort opens July 1, 2027.
According to Disney, the lounge will serve handcrafted cocktails and look out over Bay Lake. Its design will draw on the changing seasons, with natural textures, rich colors, artwork and a color-changing chandelier intended to represent all four seasons.
Branch & Brush is the fourth dining location announced for the resort. The others are Moonglade, a waterside table-service restaurant; Bay Lake Provisions, a quick-service restaurant; and Paint Out Point Bar & Grill, a poolside spot for drinks and light bites.
Lakeshore Lodge is being built along Bay Lake, with Disney saying many rooms and public spaces will have views of Magic Kingdom fireworks. The Disney Vacation Club property will use design influences from several Disney animated films, including Pocahontas, Bambi, Fantasia, Brother Bear and Encanto.
