Picture this: you’ve spent all day at Magic Kingdom and have run yourself ragged experiencing all the rides, getting rather acquainted with Lightning Lanes, and taking as many breaks in the A/C as you possibly can. You’re more exhausted than you’ve possibly ever been in your life, and all you can think about is getting into your comfy, cozy, Disney World hotel bed.

After October 8th, reservations will officially be open for anyone to book a stay at this brand-new hotel!

Disney has shared that Lakeshore Lodge was inspired by Walt Disney’s admiration for the great outdoors, and “the resort’s design will pay tribute to decades of animated stories rooted in nature, with subtle nods to classic films — from the lush forests of Bambi and the colorful winds of Pocahontas to the sweeping glacial landscapes of Brother Bear.”

Lakeshore Lodge is a new Disney Vacation Club Resort hotel, but that doesn’t mean only DVC members can stay there.

The hotel will feature 967 rooms, ranging from “cozy studios to spacious suites.” Guests will be able to cool off in The Wetlands, which will feature epic water features, or you can relax in the Daydream River that travels through the pool area. In the heart of the area, you’ll find Lakeside Lagoon, which is a zero-entry pool for guests of all ages, and it’s even got a spiral waterslide!

Kiddos will also be able to enjoy an area just for them, where they’ll be able to “become part of nature’s story through whimsical wet and dry play areas inspired by the music and storytelling of Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Pocahontas.” Additionally, Heron Shores will bring exploration and hands-on play to kids via its climbing features, Otter Springs will have lots of interactive water fun, and there will be a leisure pool located on the other side of the resort.

Lakeshore Lodge features three dining options. Moonglade is a table-service restaurant with thoughtfully prepared dishes featuring locally sourced ingredients. Bay Lake Provisions will serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner in a quick-service marketplace featuring an open kitchen with specialty coffees and fresh fare. Lastly, Paint Out Point Bar & Grill will be located by the Lakeshore Lagoon pool, serving shareable bites and specialty beverages.
