This Disney Vacation Club resort will “ invite members and guests to celebrate the beauty and magic of nature, as seen through the eyes of Disney artists and storytellers.” Below is a first look at concept art for this new Disney Vacation Club resort:
Disney Lakeshore Lodge was previously announced in November 2024. It promises to be a celebration of the “profound connection between nature and imagination — a bond at the heart of Walt Disney’s artistic vision.” The resort will pay homage to many of the beloved stories that were inspired by the great outdoors. This will include Bambi, Pocahontas, and even Brother Bear. Throughout the resort, there will be subtle nods to these timeless stories. They will be woven seamlessly into the architecture, artwork, and ambience to create an immersive experience that allows family to be surrounded by the enchantment of nature.
“We’re excited to share our vision for Disney Lakeshore Lodge, a place where the magic of Disney storytelling comes alive through the beauty of the natural world,” said Bill Diercksen, senior vice president and general manager, Disney Vacation Club. “Inspired by Walt Disney’s lifelong admiration for the great outdoors, this resort will offer our members and guests an opportunity to reconnect with nature while creating cherished family memories at Walt Disney World Resort.”
