Disney’s Lakeshore Lodge Coming to former Reflections Site in 2027!

Wood Details Added to Disney Lakeshore Lodge Cabins​

Crews are adding details and more supports to the cabins and entrance of Disney Lakeshore Lodge at Walt Disney World.

Entrance​

The entrance structure has gained more steel beams. Compared to our last update, the overhang at the front of the building is more filled in.


The entrance has a W-shaped roof and is located at the center of the hotel, with wings branching out on either side. The shape comes directly from concept art for Reflections – A Disney Lakeside Lodge, the unbuilt resort originally planned for this space.

A-Frame Cabins​

Another element carried over from Reflections on these A-frame cabins. Wood elements have been added to the awnings of the Clementine Beach cabins. Many of the steel beams are wrapped in plastic to protect them during construction.



Cabins further down the beach have fewer beams and wood details. But there are frames in place for the future awnings.


From Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort, we got a closer look at some of the cabins. Their beams have been stained a dark color and some have wood-style finishes.


Though the cabins on the other side of the resort are harder to see, it looks like they have wood detailing, too.

Exterior​

Various layers of sheathing and paneling continue to be installed across the resort’s façade. An additional tower frame has gone up, as seen in the center of the above photo.



Crews are shaping the rooftops with steel beams, making them sloped and angular rather than flat.


A boxy tower on one rooftop has been surrounded by white sheathing.


A white framework is on the top floor at the end of this wing, facing the water. While all the doorways below have sliding glass doors, none of the doorways on top do. Maybe this will be some kind of overlook to enjoy views of the lake.


The other side of the building now has concrete across several walls.


Some of the tower and overhang frames now have covers. These appear to be tin and have holes in them. We assume more finished paneling will be installed over these later.

Disney Lakeshore Lodge is a Disney Vacation Club resort scheduled to open in 2027. It is “inspired by the majesty of nature and its enduring influence on Disney artists.” The pool area will include a lazy river.

Thank you, I love your updates, I cant wait!

For everyone that doesnt like pit, there is some of us that love it and is very glad it was built.

The same will be for LSL, there is room for everyone. I welcome more things to do, more restaurants and an awesome lazy river. I guess the location could have been different but id rather have it than not.

Something that Disney does a great job is making resorts that galvanize a fanbase. They know they can't please everyone with one resort, but we all here would probably get animated in our love for a resort. I know my admiration for Wilderness Lodge borders on obsessive. OKW ain't my cup of tea, but boy do most old school DVCer's champion that resort.

I kind of love that about Disney World, and the little fan clubs that exist in each resort. Probably no more fervent a fan club than Ft. Wilderness.

Vgf fans are pretty savage too (theyre practically perfect in every way )

The fun thing is the ugliest tower Disney has ever built, BLT, doesn’t even get close to the hate this unfinished building gets (same with PIT while being built)

It's really interesting and entertaining to me. I see people who love certain resorts that I think are hideous. And I'm sure things I like are horrible to others. I love reading all the different opinions.

I see you own there

All I care about is whether they'll "still" have a Pocahontas statue in the foyer/atrium.

Do you want them to have that or not want it?

I do! Fun thing is before staying there I would have said 0 chances of me owning there ever. After my stay I realized the location and the value is amazing. I still think it's the ugliest/ blandest DVC resort.

I would probably like it more if it ends up being in the same association as CFW.

The refurbished rooms look great though!

Good thing we can trade resorts! Me personally I dont think any of them are ugly or bland but I def have my preferences! Even the ones I dont prefer, i can find something that they have better than the ones I do prefer! (From the ones ive stayed at)
