Disney Offers Exclusive Preview Stay at Lakeshore Lodge for Eligible Members

Disney Vacation Club has announced the 'First Wave' Experience, a preview stay for eligible members at Lakeshore Lodge before its official opening on July 1, 2027. The four-day, three-night experience will take place from June 24 to 27, 2027, and includes a resort stay, park tickets, and dining experiences.

The package bundles a four-day, three-night stay at Disney's Lakeshore Lodge with a 3-day Walt Disney World Theme Park ticket that allows entry across all four theme parks. Each Guest age 3 and older also receives a $200 Disney Dining Promo Card, which can be used towards additional dining during the stay.

The 'First Wave' Experience will include behind-the-scenes insights into how Lakeshore Lodge came together, along with commemorative keepsakes created specifically for the event. Members who are eligible to book this experience must have at least 150 Vacation Points purchased directly from Disney Vacation Development, LLC, under the June 3, 2021 policy update.

The 'First Wave' Experience is available exclusively through Member Services and can be booked starting November 7, 2026. Payment for the first and second Guests in the travel party must be made using Reservation Points only, and at least one of those two must be the primary or lead Guest on the reservation.
