Disney’s Lakeshore Lodge is scheduled to open at Walt Disney World on July 1, 2027, adding a new deluxe-level resort on Bay Lake across from Magic Kingdom.
According to Disney’s resort information, overnight guests will have complimentary access to The Wetlands, a pool area with a lazy river, zero-entry pool, full-size slide, children’s slide, splash pad and dry playground. The resort will also have a separate quiet pool called Cypress Point.
A two-story indoor common area known as Dandelion Terrace is planned for views of Magic Kingdom’s nightly fireworks across the lake. It will be open to overnight guests and is not described as a restaurant or reservable viewing space.
Lakeshore Lodge guests will be able to use complimentary Disney transportation, including boat service to Magic Kingdom and bus service to EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Disney’s Animal Kingdom and Disney Springs. Minnie Van service will be available for an added fee. Disney also says the Electrical Water Pageant will perform nightly for the resort.
As with other Walt Disney World hotels, guests will receive Early Theme Park Entry, allowing admission 30 minutes before other visitors each day. As a deluxe resort, Lakeshore Lodge will also qualify for Extended Evening Theme Park Hours on select nights. Those planning a stay and park visits can review Walt Disney World ticket options as their travel dates approach.
