A new episode of Walt Disney Imagineering’s “Pardon Our Pixie Dust” highlights the installation of giant otter figures at Disney’s Lakeshore Lodge.
Otter Springs at Disney’s Lakeshore Lodge
The otters are part of Otter Springs in The Wetlands pool area. This space will be a water play area for kids featuring slides on the two otters.
According to “Pardon Our Pixie Dust,” the otters are named Addy and Bonnie. Addy, who lies on her back with a blue slide, was installed during filming.
Though the figures are made to look like wood, they are actually made of fiberglass reinforced plastic panels. Addy holds a giant scallop in her paws.
We saw these otters last week in our previous resort update.
Watch the full episode, also featuring Animation Courtyard at Disney’s Hollywood Studios and a new pathway at Disney California Adventure, below.
Disney’s Lakeshore Lodge is a new nature-inspired resort under construction along the shores of Bay Lake at Walt Disney World near Magic Kingdom and Fort Wilderness Resort.
Scheduled to open in summer 2027, the resort will feature 967 accommodations, ranging from studios and suites to one- and two-bedroom waterfront Lake Houses. Its design celebrates Walt Disney’s appreciation for the outdoors through artwork and details inspired by films including Bambi, Pocahontas, and Brother Bear.
Amenities will include several dining locations, expansive views of Bay Lake and the Magic Kingdom fireworks, and The Wetlands recreation area, featuring pools, a lazy river, and themed play spaces.
