Over at Disney Lakeshore Lodge, significant stone and mural work continues as construction progresses.
Rock and Mural Work
The biggest update we noticed since our last visit in late June is the stone wall being completed at the porte-cochère at the front of the building.
The stone texture being added to the walls is meant to mimic red sandstone.
Dark gray siding or paint is being added to the building section to the central lobby building.
In early June, that building was still covered in insulation materials:
The rear of the main lobby building is still largely tarped, though we can now see the floor-to-ceiling window installations where the tarp has been taken down (or fallen off).
The murals around the building have also filled out significantly since our last update in late June. A ground-to-sky mural of trees and their foliage, seen above, appears to be nearly completed. Just a few weeks ago it was only about halfway done:
The other foliage mural on a wider wall is now about halfway done. It was barely started in late June:
We also noticed that the majority of the scrim along the roadway has been removed.
Disney Lakeshore Lodge
In 2018, Disney announced Reflections – A Disney Lakeside Lodge. However, construction was stalled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The resort was thought to be canceled before Disney resurrected the project as Disney Lakeshore Lodge in 2024.
It will be a fully Disney Vacation Club resort “inspired by the majesty of nature and its enduring influence on Disney artists,” including a lazy river in The Wetlands pool area.
Lakeshore Lodge is set to open in the summer of 2027.
