The following details are from the Disney Parks Blog series: Letters from Lakeshore Lodge.
Introducing Waterfront Lake Houses
New and exclusive to Disney’s Lakeshore Lodge, one- and two-bedroom Lake Houses will offer an up-close connection to nature with plenty of space to relax and unwind along the shores of Bay Lake. These unique freestanding retreats will feature dramatic A-frame architecture, expansive floor-to-ceiling windows, and beautiful waterfront views.
Sleeping up to five or eight guests, respectively, Lake Houses will feature a private porch overlooking the water, a full kitchen, and a washer and dryer. Throughout the interior, artwork will celebrate Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Brother Bear, with nods to the film’s Alaskan setting and themes of nature and discovery. Inside the primary bedroom, a striking Northern Lights-inspired lighting feature will cast a peaceful glow as night falls.
Nature-Inspired Studios and Villas
Duo studios will offer a colorful and cozy retreat for two inspired by the vibrant spirit of Disney Animation’s Encanto.
Deluxe studios will bring the woodland charm of Disney Animation’s Bambi to life with warm natural materials, original concept artwork pulled from the archives, and comfortable living spaces designed for up to four guests.
Larger families can spread out in a one- or two-bedroom villa, sleeping up to five and nine guests, respectively. Also rooted in the storytelling of Bambi, these spacious accommodations will feature soft earth tones, subtle forest motifs, and artwork reflecting the film’s natural landscapes.
With full kitchens, washers and dryers, private patios, and spacious living and dining areas, these villas will provide plenty of space to relax and recharge after a day at the Disney Parks.
Designed with multigenerational families in mind, three-bedroom grand villas will celebrate the artistry of Disney Animation’s Fantasia. Each grand villa will sleep up to 12 guests and feature multiple bathrooms, a full kitchen, a private patio with breathtaking Bay Lake views, and plenty of gathering spaces to celebrate any occasion.
Elevated Resort Rooms and Suites
In addition to deluxe studios and villas, Disney’s Lakeshore Lodge will offer resort studios that sleep up to four guests and resort studio king rooms that sleep up to 2 guests. Drawing inspiration from the natural beauty of Disney Animation’s Pocahontas, these accommodations will feature earthy colors and artistic touches from the archives that bring the film’s sweeping landscapes to life.
Guests staying in select club level resort rooms will enjoy access to The Artist’s Nest, a concierge lounge perched above the treetops, offering personalized service, complimentary refreshments, and exclusive views of the Magic Kingdom fireworks.
For those looking for an elevated getaway, the Hidden Willow Presidential Suite will offer elegant accommodations with peaceful views of Bay Lake by day and spectacular views of Magic Kingdom Park fireworks by night. Sleeping up to six guests, this spacious suite will feature two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a full kitchen, and a washer and dryer, plus access to The Artist’s Nest.
