Subtle changes over the last few weeks as progress continues on the newest Disney Vacation Club resort.
Situated between Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground and Disney's Wilderness Lodge is the under-construction Disney Lakeshore Lodge. The combination hotel and timeshare is said to contain about 900 rooms along the shores of Bay Lake.
Viewed from Bay Lake, the building appears to be configured with hotel rooms on the left, closest to Fort Wilderness, and DVC villas on the right, nearest Wilderness Lodge. Below is a closer look at the villa wing. In several sections, the dual recessed balconies are visible, which are typically associated with the One Bedroom and Studio portions of a Two Bedroom Lockoff villa.
Below is the apparent hotel wing, with more consistent spacing of balconies between the rows of traditional hotel rooms.
Along the shore are a series of A-frame stand alone cabins, similar to the bungalows at Disney's Polynesian Villas & Bungalows or the Wilderness Lodge cabins.
It appears there will be a vaulted ceiling lobby located where the two building wings meet. Plans suggest this large courtyard between the building and Bay Lake will contain an expansive feature pool comparable to Stormalong Bay at Disney's Yacht and Beach Club Resort.
Disney recently revealed plans to expand the Meadow Swimmin' Pool at Fort Wilderness to include a second pool, pickleball courts and more.
Disney's Lakeshore Lodge will be the eighteenth Disney Vacation Club property. It is expected to open sometime in 2027.
