Aerial Photos Show Major Construction Strides at Disney’s Lakeshore Lodge

Fresh aerial images highlight visible progress across structures, water features, and dock work ahead of the resort’s planned 2027 debut.

Overview

  • New flyovers show all three hotel wings, the central courtyard, and the porte-cochere clearly taking shape beside Fort Wilderness on the former River Country site.
  • Shoreline A-frame cabins are advancing in phases, with some roofed in tar and sheathing while others remain in wood-and-steel framing.
  • Concrete work is well underway on recreation areas, with the lazy river forming a near-complete oval and the main pool foundation showing steps and a ramp.
  • A crane on a Floatmaster is positioned by a dock under construction, and outlets say this likely points to future boat transportation, though Disney has not confirmed service details.
  • Disney still targets a 2027 opening with roughly 900 rooms for the Disney Vacation Club resort, and reporting suggests earlier plans for a standalone Princess and the Frog restaurant are uncertain.
