    Hi! My family and I are planning to do Disney in Fall of 2027. I know you can eat at other Disney resorts even if you aren't staying there (with reservations or QS). Is that true for DVC resorts like Lakeshore Lodge which might be open when we go?

    Welcome to planDisney, Jacquelyn!

    Oh, your fall family trip to Walt Disney World sounds lovely! While the weather will still be warm, the summer temps will likely have dropped a bit, and the parks will be decked out in their autumn glory--especially Magic Kingdom Park!

    Jacquelyn, you will be happy to hear that restaurants at Disney Resort Hotels are open for reservations for all guests. This means that anyone can book a seat at the table for restaurants that are in Disney Vacation Club Resort Hotels, too! 

    As such, you'll be welcome to dine at Disney's Lakeshore Lodge as soon as that lovely location opens. For insight into this very special resort, take a look at "Letters from Lakeshore" on Disney Parks Blog. That post tells us there will be three dining locations at this resort, with Moonglade being the Table-Service star of the show. Locally sourced ingredients, stunning water views, plus beautiful architecture--I cannot wait to check out the menu once revealed!

    For Quick-Service, Bay Lake Provisions looks wonderful with its open-kitchen atmosphere. As a foodie, I love to get a peek at how these magical WDW dishes are prepared. Plus, "hidden magic" of woodland critters from Disney classics throughout the space? Yes, please!

    Paint Out Point Bar & Grill will offer a gorgeous, laid-back option near Lakeside Lagoon for shareable bites and drinks. It's another great option to enjoy while exploring this sure to be spectacular resort.

    Jacquelyn, some of our favorite restaurants are located in Disney Vacation Club Resorts, and I'm thinking that those at Lakeshore Lodge are going to be among our favorites. They might become your favorites, too!

    As you plan that fantastic family visit to The Most Magical Place on Earth, be sure to send additional questions our way. We love to help!
