Disney is preparing to open Lakeshore Lodge at Walt Disney World in summer 2027, potentially challenging Stormalong Bay as the premier resort pool. The new property will feature a nature-inspired theme drawing from films like Bambi and Pocahontas, with concept art suggesting a lazy river, waterslides, and waterfront dining. Stormalong Bay currently holds the title with its 3-acre complex including a sand-bottom pool, shipwreck slide, and lazy river. While Lakeshore Lodge boasts 967 rooms and a scenic Bay Lake location, final pool specifications remain unconfirmed. The new resort aims to offer a more immersive, spacious experience compared to the sometimes crowded Stormalong Bay. Both properties have distinct advantages, with Stormalong Bay benefiting from its established reputation and EPCOT Resort Area location. Disney has not yet released official details about pool dimensions, slide heights, or guest capacity. The upcoming resort will need to deliver on its concept art promises to truly compete with the reigning champion.
