Disney is always finding new ways to excite and entice fans to its world-famous theme park properties and hotel resorts, and the upcoming hype surrounding their soon-to-open Lakeshore Lodge is certainly no exception.
As fans count down the days until the opening of the brand-new Deluxe Disney Vacation Club resort, Disney is sharing a deeper look at what visitors can expect to find at the new property.
According to a recent announcement from the company, Disney has unveiled a sprawling new area of Lakeshore Lodge with their new Wetlands outdoor recreational attraction.
Inspired by the classic Disney movie Pocahontas, the Wetlands allows viewers to step into an immersive space that celebrates nature.
The area will specifically feature several areas fit for visitors of all ages, including:
- Heron Shores: an area that invites “hands-on play with imaginative climbing features.”
- Otter Springs: a child-friendly area with “interactive water features where little ones can cool off as they splash and slide.”
- Daydream River: a lazy river area that invites guests to ” to sit back and relax as the current carries them through the recreation area, offering a leisurely way to take in views of the surrounding landscape.”
- Lakeside Lagoon: a zero-entry feature pool where “guests of all ages can come together under the Florida sun, complete with a spiral waterslide that leads into the refreshing water.”
- Perspective Pond: a leisure pool and adjoining whirlpool spa, “perfectly positioned for views of Magic Kingdom fireworks in the evenings.”
Slated to open in summer 2027, Disney’s Lakeshore Lodge and its related Wetlands have already gained significant buzz across social media, with many fans expressing their excitement at the new area online.
“Did someone say lazy river?” wrote one fan on Instagram, complete with a wide-eyed emoji.
“Oh my gosh!!” added another user. “Fort Wilderness is already oru family’s favorite place – this being right next door is INSANE! CAN’T WAIT!”
