Disney4me Posted 18 hours ago Report Posted 18 hours ago We’re less than six months away from the opening of Disney’s newest resort, Lakeshore Lodge. In the months leading up to its opening, we’ve gotten an inside look at many details, including the rooms, cabins, restaurants, and more! Model of Lakeshore Lodge including Wetlands Water Area This hotel will be home to a plethora of perks, including stunning fireworks views, close proximity to the Magic Kingdom, Extended Evening Hours and Early Entry, and more; however, there is one major flaw when it comes to staying in the resort’s priciest rooms. Disney’s Lakeshore Lodge will be home to several different hotel room options, including Resort Studios, Deluxe Studios, Villas, Duo Studios, and — our focus today — the A-Frame Cabin Lake Houses. These one- and two-bedroom Lake Houses are located along Bay Lake. They are unique, freestanding A-frame buildings with expansive floor-to-ceiling windows and beautiful waterfront views. ©Disney For one night, these Lake Houses can cost anywhere from $2,000 to over $5,000! They sleep up to five or eight guests (depending on the size you stay in) and offer a private porch overlooking the water, a full kitchen, and a washer and dryer. The artwork on the interior is inspired by Brother Bear, including nods to the film’s Alaskan setting and themes of nature and discovery. ©Disney Since the Lake Houses are the most expensive option when it comes to staying at this hotel, it should come with the most perks, right? WRONG! There’s actually one MAJOR flaw of staying in these cabins, which may make you rethink staying here. What is it? Let’s just say it has to do with your two feet and a LOT of steps. Lakeshore Lodge Cabins While Disney has not confirmed how transportation and walking paths will work, from the models and overhead shots of the construction, it looks like the A-frame Lake Houses will be quite a lengthy walk away from the main building where all of the restaurants, gift shops, and likely bus transportation will be. As you can see in the image below, the A-frame cabins (located on the top left) are very far away from the main building and the parking lot (located in the middle and bottom). @bioreconstruct on X This may not be an issue for transportation to the Magic Kingdom, as some of the Lake Houses are located near the boat launch at Fort Wilderness Resort and Campgrounds. If the two resorts are connected, transportation to the Magic Kingdom may not be as bad, but what about the rest of the parks? Bus transportation to the other three parks, Disney Springs, and the water parks will most likely be at the main building, which, from the looks of it, will be a lengthy walk. A-frame cabins on the bottom left versus the main building and parking lot on the bottom right via @bioreconstruct on X If I were paying over $5,000 to stay at a Disney hotel and the walk was that far to the lobby, I’d expect a personal golf cart ride to the front, if you ask me. Or another solution could be an internal bus loop, just like several other Disney Vacation Club Resorts have, including Old Key West Resort and Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa. As long as I don’t have to walk a mile to get to the lobby, I’ll be okay.
