Disney’s Lakeshore Lodge has launched its reservation system for guests looking to stay during the opening season in July 2027. The new 10-story resort features 967 themed accommodations including standard studios, villas, waterfront A-frames, and exclusive suites. Cash rates are now available for booking at the property, with pricing showing minimal variation throughout late summer and fall 2027. Despite the initial rack rates appearing expensive, they are actually lower than comparable units at other Disney Deluxe Resorts. The massive inventory suggests that deep discounts will likely emerge within the first few years of operation, similar to patterns observed at Riviera Resort. This new property represents Walt Disney World’s largest resort since Animal Kingdom Lodge and will significantly expand the Disney Vacation Club portfolio.
