Disney Vacation Club members seeking an early stay at Disney’s Lakeshore Lodge filled the resort’s limited First Wave booking window within roughly two hours, according to Inside the Magic.
The three-night preview experience is scheduled for June 24-27, 2027, ahead of the new Bay Lake resort’s public opening. Reservations reportedly opened at 10 a.m. ET on November 7 and required eligible members to call Disney Vacation Club Member Services rather than book online.
Some prospective guests reported trouble getting through by phone, including repeated disconnections and long waits. The report cited social-media posts from callers who said they were unable to secure a reservation before the First Wave allotment sold out.
The sellout applies to the member preview experience, not all future stays at the resort. Regular reservations are already available for stays beginning July 1, 2027, and guests who missed the First Wave booking can join a waitlist.
