There is always something changing in Disney World. Whether it be the closure of attractions such as Big Thunder Mountain Railroad or the opening of the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts, it is never a dull day at Disney World.
Disney makes lots of announcements and there is all sorts of news that comes out of the parks and hotels daily. Well, we wanted to share what we think is the best Disney World hotel news we have seen all month!
Now, the news about the NEW Disney Lakeshore Lodge is not something that was announced this month (it was actually officially announced by Disney back in November 2024). BUT, the really exciting part is that the construction of the hotel is in progress.
There is actually work being done on this new hotel right now. It is one thing for Disney to announce an upcoming project, but there is something especially exciting about seeing the construction ACTUALLY happening.
And there is a lot of work at the construction site. Things are happening, and things seem to be happening pretty fast. While Disney hasn’t announced a whole lot about this new hotel, we are still excited for a new hotel at Disney World.
Disney Lakeshore Lodge is expected to open in 2027 and it will be a new Disney Vacation Club hotel. The new hotel will be located near Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground where Disney’s River Country Water Park used to be.
If you remember the proposed location of Reflections — A Disney Lakeside Lodge Resort, you know precisely where Disney Lakeshore Lodge is being built. Reflections was announced by Disney in 2019, and then construction was halted after the 2020 global health crisis. Well, Disney Lakeshore Lodge will be built in the same location!
Disney Lakeshore Lodge will be “inspired by the majesty of nature and its enduring influence on Disney artists.” The concept art shows lots of wood tones and foliage throughout the hotel. We are excited to learn even more about the hotel, especially what type of dining locations will be available here!

Great! More stuff for the elites…Disney is forgetting about people in other socio-economic levels. The so called “discounts” and free tickets to the water parks on day of arrival only are just crumbs, hoping to satisfyl
As a devoted fan of the Ft Wilderness Campground, this is depressing. It is just too close and will overshadow the beauty and serenity of the campground. Please leave our beach alone!!
That’s awesome. More places to stay for parks that are already bursting at the seams.
