Disney’s Lakeshore Lodge is still months from opening, but you can now see what a stay will cost. Walt Disney World has released starting cash rates for every room type at the new Disney Vacation Club resort, which opens July 1, 2027.
Prices begin at $512 per night for a Duo Studio and reach into the thousands for Lake Houses and the Presidential Suite. Below, we cover the resort’s background, what makes it different, the full list of starting rates, and how the view categories affect what you pay.
Starting Rates for Studios
Here are the standard starting rates per night for the resort’s studio options. Rates vary by travel date and by the number of guests in the room.
- Duo Studio, Preferred View: $512
- Resort Studio, No Balcony: $551
- Resort Studio, Resort View: $568
- Resort Studio, Resort View, King Bed: $576
- Resort Studio, Preferred View: $613
- Resort Studio, Preferred View, King Bed: $622
- Deluxe Studio, Resort View: $630
- Deluxe Studio, Preferred View: $680
- Deluxe Studio, Premium View: $748
The Duo Studio sits at the entry point for pricing, which makes it a practical choice for couples or solo travelers. Deluxe Studios cost more but offer additional space for small families.
Starting Rates for Club Access Rooms
Guests who want club level perks can choose from several Club Access options. These rooms carry a noticeable jump in price over standard studios.
- Resort Studio, Club Access: $901
- Resort Studio, King Bed, Club Access: $915
- Resort Studio, Premium View, Club Access: $1,109
- Resort Studio, Premium View, King Bed, Club Access: $1,125
- Hidden Willow Presidential Suite, Club Access: $2,976
The Hidden Willow Presidential Suite sits at the top of the price range for the entire resort.
Starting Rates for Villas and Lake Houses
For larger groups, the villa and Lake House categories offer more bedrooms and living space.
- 1 Bedroom Villa, Resort View: $929
- 1 Bedroom Villa, Preferred View: $1,041
- 1 Bedroom Villa, Premium View: $1,145
- 2 Bedroom Villa, Premium View: $1,125
- 2 Bedroom Villa, Resort View: $1,548
- 2 Bedroom Villa, Preferred View: $1,719
- 3 Bedroom Grand Villa, Premium View: $2,973
- 1 Bedroom Lake House: $2,353
- 2 Bedroom Lake House: $2,942
One detail stands out. The 2 Bedroom Villa with a Premium View is listed below the Resort View and Preferred View versions of the same villa. This may reflect how rates were first published, so it is worth checking the price for your exact dates when booking opens.
Understanding the Three View Categories
View type plays a large role in what you pay at Lakeshore Lodge. Here is what each category means:
- Resort view: Looks out over the woodlands or parking areas.
- Preferred view: Overlooks the pool or offers partial views of Bay Lake.
- Premium view: Offers partial views of Magic Kingdom Park or Magic Kingdom fireworks.
If watching fireworks from your room matters to you, a premium view is the category to target. If you plan to spend most of your time in the parks, a resort view can keep costs down while giving you the same access to the resort’s dining, pools, and grounds.
Location on Bay Lake
Lakeshore Lodge sits along the shore of Bay Lake, on the former site of River Country, Walt Disney World’s original water park. The property falls between Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort and Disney’s Wilderness Lodge, so it shares the wooded, waterfront setting that guests already know from those two resorts.
That location also brings a view of Magic Kingdom. Many rooms will look out over Bay Lake during the day and toward Magic Kingdom fireworks at night.
A Theme Built Around Nature and Disney Artistry
Disney describes the resort as “inspired by the majesty of nature and its enduring influence on Disney artists.” The goal is a waterfront retreat that blends the outdoors with Disney storytelling.
Recent concept art shows how that theme carries through the property. Disney has shared looks at the studios, suites, and villas, including design details and bathrooms. The company has also released artwork of the Pocahontas Lobby and a Fireworks Lounge, which give a sense of the resort’s style and mood.
Rooms, Lake Houses, and Dining
Lakeshore Lodge will have 967 rooms, including studios, suites, and villas. A new room category will also debut here: one-bedroom and two-bedroom Lake Houses set along the waterfront. These standalone accommodations add a different option to the DVC lineup and appeal to families who want more space and privacy.
Disney has also announced three restaurants for the resort. Together with the lounge, these give guests several places to eat and relax without leaving the property.
Final Thoughts
The release of room rates gives Disney World fans a clearer picture of what to expect when Lakeshore Lodge opens on July 1, 2027. With prices starting at $512 per night and climbing to nearly $3,000 for top-tier accommodations, there is a wide range of options for couples, families, and larger groups.
