A coat of what is likely primer has been added to a large section of the future Disney Lakeshore Lodge. Other sections of the resort have new steel framing, windows, doors, and sheathing.
Disney Lakeshore Lodge Construction
Entrance
As we reported last week, thanks to aerial photos, the lobby now has roofing. We can also see the framework of a front entrance now. Blue safety netting has been added against the posts jutting from the roof. This is likely to protect crew members as they continue work on the roofing.
A-Frame Cabins
A-frame cabins are in rows on either side of the main resort. Crews have been adding more supports and wood details to the cabins over the past few weeks.
Cabins on the other side of the resort have begun to receive metal roofing and wood fascia on the edges.
Most of the cabins nearest Clementine Beach now all have wooden details and the beginnings of overhangs.
Resort Buildings
As for the main building of the resort, crew members continue to install sheathing and paneling, although it looks as though prep is underway for future concrete work.
More steel has been installed on several of the roof structures and overhangs, with most of the windows and door openings now having glass. The supports in the water are for a future dock, also clearly visible in bioreconstruct’s aerial photos.
Not much has changed at this end with continued work on sheathing and additional overhang frames.
Possibly the biggest change in this update is the priming of exterior walls on the side facing Daniel Boone’s Wilderness Arcade at Fort Wilderness Resort. This section of the resort has been the furthest along in each update.
Only one section has received primer. Further down, concrete is still the most recent layer. The concrete wall jutting out has a pattern of vertical lines with small horizontal lines. This pattern may be expanded or highlighted with paint as work continues.
Disney Lakeshore Lodge looms next to Fort Wilderness Resort, along Bay Lake. Like the Reflections concept, Disney Lakeshore Lodge is a Disney Vacation Club resort and will be “inspired by the majesty of nature and its enduring influence on Disney artists.” The new resort is set to open sometime in 2027.
