Inside the Plush Swinging ‘60s Style of The Carnaby

Gordon Ramsay at The Carnaby is a great gathering spot for visitors and locals seeking a lively social atmosphere and elevated pub favorites for lunch and dinner.

Guests can soak in the sights from an expansive outdoor terrace overlooking the district, relax at the gorgeous back patio, tuck into a signature booth, or gather at the bar, all while savoring Gordon Ramsay’s renowned cuisine.

Here is a first look at the menu for Hurly-Burly, opening at Disney’s BoardWalk on October 1.

Now, nearly a hundred years later, Hurly-Burly is opening its doors once again with entertainment offerings, vintage drinks and lite bites inspired by an era of world class performances and nautical novelty!

During the afternoons, guests can pop in for lively activities such as trivia and games designed for the whole family. Then, beginning at 9 p.m., experience vibrant evenings of live music for guests ages 21 and older.

Guests can get ready to indulge in shareable appetizers and small plates inspired by classic boardwalk fare. Snack on the savory Meatballs in Tomato Gravy, a classic dish that the whole family will enjoy. Or opt for some headlining small plates including the Roast Beef Sliders, the Oven-Roasted Shrimp, and the Tomato Pie. And for a sweet grand finale, Mini Apple Cider Doughnuts.

For our guests over 21, sip on the Mertini, a twist on your classic gin martini and an ode to maritime melodrama gone by at this theater. Enjoy modern takes on classic cocktails such as the Overproof Amaretto Sour, made with Old Forester 1920 Prohibition Style bourbon, and the La Taquilla Picante, which translates to “The Hot Ticket,” a spicy margarita garnished with a spiced nutmeg rim. For our guests of all ages, the Overture in Orange is a nostalgic orange and creamy frozen treat. And for coffee lovers, sip on the Caramel Corn Cold Brew, topped with caramel sweet cream, and caramel popcorn. There is also the Hurly-Burly walk-up window for select beverages!

August 4, 2026: From Sunrise Sips to Fireworks Views: New Spaces Coming to Disney’s Lakeshore Lodge

There’s more magic happening along the shores of Bay Lake as Disney’s Lakeshore Lodge continues to take shape. Walt Disney Imagineers are hard at work designing new spaces where families and friends can gather, reconnect, and experience sunrise coffee, leisurely afternoons, and unforgettable nighttime views. Here is a first look at some of these exciting new venues guests can enjoy when the resort opens next summer.

412709e3-852f-4c15-a3be-3bbe324ee540.png

Your Lakeshore Lodge Arrival

When guests arrive at Disney’s Lakeshore Lodge, they’ll step into the lobby and become immersed in the sights and sounds of nature. Spectacular floor‑to‑ceiling windows will welcome natural sunlight and showcase sweeping views of The Wetlands outdoor recreation area, allowing the local flora and fauna to flow seamlessly into the architecture, artwork, and ambiance.

Drawing inspiration from the music and storytelling of Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Pocahontas, a shimmering fiberoptic river will illuminate the floor, while overhead, a blown glass Colors of the Wind sculpture with hundreds of suspended glass leaves will fill the space with movement, color, and wonder.

Natural materials will be incorporated throughout the lobby design, with custom tapestries inspired by the film’s landscapes and thoughtfully crafted furnishings with accents of river-recovered cypress wood.

Disney’s Lakeshore Lodge will debut with three distinctive dining experiences for guests to enjoy throughout their stay. From convenient, grab-and-go favorites to memorable waterfront dining, each location is thoughtfully designed to highlight the resort’s connection to the natural beauty of Bay Lake.

Moonglade

Along the lakefront, Moonglade will offer an enchanting table-service dining experience where stunning water views are part of every course. Here, guests will enjoy thoughtfully prepared dishes featuring seasonal and locally sourced ingredients.

Floor-to-ceiling windows will frame the gracefully arching cypress trees along Bay Lake where artful lighting and nuanced design reflect the interplay of light and shadow.

Bay Lake Provisions

Bay Lake Provisions will be the perfect spot to fuel up for a day of adventure or relax and refresh after a poolside afternoon. This all-day, quick-service marketplace will offer specialty coffees and fresh fare in an inviting open-kitchen atmosphere.

And because no space is complete without a little hidden magic, guests can find woodland critters inspired by beloved Disney classics throughout the space.

Paint Out Point Bar & Grill

When all the fun in the sun works up an appetite, guests can head to Paint Out Point Bar & Grill near Lakeshore Lagoon.

They can enjoy shareable bites and specialty beverages while soaking in the natural beauty that surrounds The Wetlands. Inspired by the art of plein-air painting, this pool bar will showcase a collection of original artwork created by Imagineers as they drew inspiration from the Bay Lake landscapes.

Dandelion Terrace

After the sun sets, guests can gather in Dandelion Terrace to see Magic Kingdom Park fireworks lighting up the sky over the waters of Bay Lake.

The lounge will be home to a two-story gallery of archival artwork from Disney classics like Fantasia, complete with whimsical dandelion light fixtures that add a touch of magic to the space. Soft lighting and sweeping views create the perfect setting to slow down and enjoy the nighttime spectacular.

Stay tuned as we continue to share more details about Disney’s Lakeshore Lodge, projected to open in summer 2027 at Walt Disney World Resort.

June 17, 2026: First Look at The Wetlands at Disney Lakeshore Lodge

When Disney Lakeshore Lodge opens in summer 2027, guests will be invited to relax, unwind and reconnect with nature at The Wetlands, a sweeping outdoor recreation area just beyond the lobby that immerses guests in the beauty of Bay Lake.

The Wetlands will be thoughtfully designed with both fun and relaxation in mind. Younger guests will become part of nature’s story through whimsical wet and dry play areas inspired by the music and storytelling of Walt Disney Animation Studios’ “Pocahontas.” Drawing from the lyrics “the heron and the otter are my friends” from the beloved song “Colors of the Wind,” these vibrant spaces will celebrate the playful connections found in nature.

19225940-3084-4dc2-831c-f8b8fd744751.png

Heron Shores will welcome exploration and hands‑on play with imaginative climbing features, while just around the riverbend, Otter Springs will come to life with interactive water features where little ones can cool off as they splash and slide. Nearby, the lazy Daydream River will invite guests to sit back and relax as the current carries them through the recreation area, offering a leisurely way to take in views of the surrounding landscape.

bcb4a730-3be1-4e7a-b497-348445ce4ffa.png

At the heart of The Wetlands will be Lakeside Lagoon, the resort’s zero‑entry feature pool where guests of all ages can come together under the Florida sun, complete with a spiral waterslide that leads into the refreshing water. Tucked away on the opposite side of the resort, Perspective Pond will be home to a leisure pool and whirlpool spa, perfectly positioned for views of Magic Kingdom fireworks in the evenings.

Whether your clients choose to start their morning with a peaceful float along the Daydream River or end the day watching the sun set over Bay Lake, each area of The Wetlands will offer a distinct connection to nature, balancing breathtaking beauty and tranquility with moments of discovery and play.

As guests make their way along a scenic path through the recreation area, they’ll uncover fun facts about the local flora and fauna that surrounds them. Keep an eye out for a special plaque that honors a beloved historic attraction that once stood on this very spot! 

And best of all, the fun in the sun is just a boat ride away from Magic Kingdom! Staying in the magic at a Disney World hotel means enjoying access to unique amenities, along with special benefits such as complimentary transportation across Walt Disney World Resort and extra time to enjoy the theme parks.

Stay tuned to Letters from Lakeshore on Disney Travel News for more details as Disney Lakeshore Lodge continues to take shape.

Oogie Boogie Bash Costume Tips and Dress Code

One of the perks of Oogie Boogie Bash is the opportunity for everyone to dress up in costume. Guests are invited to get creative, devise a devious disguise or bring out their villainous side – they just have to make sure to follow the costume guidelines.

Tip: Pack a sweater for when the breeze adds extra chills. Comfortable shoes are also highly recommended.
