Walt Disney World is sharing new concept art for Lakeshore Lodge, in advance of the Disney Vacation Club resort’s planning opening next summer. Lakeshore Lodge now is under construction on the site of the old River Country water park, across Bay Lake from the Magic Kingdom and next to the Fort Wilderness Resort. Lakeshore Lodge will offer 967 rooms when it opens, along with several amenities revealed today.First, though, Disney is sharing this look at the resort’s lobby.
All concept images courtesy Disney Signature ExperiencesBefore we go any further, I have to call this out. Check out the bag held by the guest entering the lobby at the left.
DisneyWorld?I only can guess that someone generated a Disneyland bag for the image, then someone else caught the error and just swapped “land” for “World.” Because I never have seen Disney create merch with the “DisneyWorld” branding, using the Disneyland font face. It’s giving AI slop vibes, isn’t it?Leaving that aside, Lakeshore Lodge’s table-service restaurant will be Moonglade, where the dining room will face Cypress trees on the Bay Lake shoreline.
