Crews have installed piping and the frames for more interior walls during the construction of Disney Lakeshore Lodge.
Disney Lakeshore Lodge
Construction work is progressing quickly as the building continues to grow along the shores of Bay Lake.
Behind these trees is a low structure. Most of the building has reached four stories, but this area only has one. We know from a construction permit that the final hotel will be ten stories tall.
There are now two tall poles attached to two of the Floatmasters. These barges are used to hold or transport construction equipment. On land, some walls have been encased in concrete.
Further down, the building is three stories high. The ground floor is taller than the rest.
In this area, some vertical supports reach up to five stories tall, but there isn’t flooring for the top two yet.
Work has started on a fifth floor, with rebar sticking up for more columns.
In this area, crew members were using a crane to pour concrete into a form.
The section that’s most clearly visible is right next to the beach of Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort. Piping has been installed on the first floor.
Red pipes are visible running across the ceiling. On the second floor, steel frames now outline rooms. While the first room walls we saw installed had smaller openings for windows, these have larger openings for sliding glass doors.
More of these frames continue down the side of the building. Rooms that face the lake will likely be more expensive.
The wall frameworks are mostly on the second floor.
The building curves back away from the water and then back towards it in a U shape.
At the back of this section, a roof juts out from the building. This could be some kind of port-cochere.
More pipes run down the side of the building. Walls will be constructed around them.
Crews have started developing the land between Lakeshore Lodge and Fort Wilderness.
From the land, we got a closer look at some of the pipes and wall structures. There are temporary plywood railings and blue nets for crew member safety.
The room at this corner has been outlined with wall frames.
Disney Lakeshore Lodge replaces the originally-announced Reflections – A Disney Lakeside Lodge. It’s expected to open in 2027.
