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

It looks like the new boat dock won't be visible from Wilderness Lodge. That will make some people happy. They don't want their view spoiled.

Lots going on in some of these photos... continued boat dock construction, signature restaurant steel vertical construction, and outline of at least some part of the center courtyard pool. From my untrained construction eye, still too much other construction staging occurring to see any signs of a lazy river or the full pool complex at this point.

Additional elements of the project starting to become more visible...the beginnings of the porte cochere, lobby, and bus stop area. Original stormwater permit drawings showed six bus stops, some other plans have shown five. That's a seemingly decent size for a deluxe resort - similar sizing to AKL - and at least to me would seem appropriate for the potential guest load here. Original stormwater plans showed the bus stops as "proposed roof area" in orange in the image below, so presumably (and hopefully) these stops have some sort of roof structure along with a covered walkway from the lobby, which would make sense.

The grade leading to the porte cochere/main lobby entrance is "built up" - I believe you enter the building on the third floor.

Still very early in construction and inconclusive, but it seems to me that "hole" and steel now being erected in the lobby area could be the beginnings of the structural supports you see in original concept art in this area.

Latest Look at Ongoing Construction at Disney's Lakeshore Lodge​

The main hotel buildings are also making significant progress. Vertical construction is now nearing the planned maximum height, with large concrete panels and structural steel in place across most of the core resort footprint. This resort is following the same efficient construction method used recently at Island Tower at Disney’s Polynesian Resort.







The North and West A-Frame units are positioned at the edges of the resort, while the central hotel structure wraps around a feature courtyard and pool complex. Additional treehouse-style accommodations are also in the plans, reflecting the resort’s “inspired by nature” theme.



The extensive footprint includes dedicated parking, new roadways, and guest amenities spread throughout the wooded site, which sits between Disney’s Wilderness Lodge and Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground.









Lakeshore Lodge is expected to open in 2027 and will join Disney’s growing collection of Vacation Club resorts.

Being able to walk to Pioneer Hall is so wild to me. It was once quite the golf cart ride away.

It looks like it will be beautiful, but I just wish it weren’t so close to The Settlement….

We saw it in person for the first time last month.

It is not CLOSE to The Settlement.

It IS The Settlement!lol
