Disney's Lakeshore Lodge to Bring Nature-Inspired Magic to Walt Disney World
Lakeshore Lodge, Disney's newest resort at Walt Disney World, is set to open in summer 2027. The latest concept art reveals a hotel lobby inspired by the 1995 animated film Pocahontas.
The main entrance will allow guests to immerse themselves in nature, with floor-to-ceiling windows offering views of The Wetlands outdoor recreation and pool area.
The lobby's thematic inspiration is evident in its shimmering fiberoptic river embedded in the floor, reminiscent of classic EPCOT Center. A blown-glass Colors of the Wind sculpture with hundreds of suspended glass leaves also pays homage to the film.
