How to Get a Summer House on the Lake Reservation
- Book the day your window opens. Disney World dining reservations open 60 days ahead. Guests staying at a Disney resort hotel can book 60 days before check-in for their whole stay (up to 10 days).
- Keep checking as your date gets close. Disney charges a no-show fee when a reservation is cancelled less than a day ahead, so plenty of tables open up in the final few days.
- Be flexible on time and party size. Early lunch and late dinner slots open more often, and smaller parties fit into more tables.

About Summer House on the Lake
Summer House on the Lake is part of the Lettuce Entertain You family of restaurants, bringing a relaxed, sun-drenched California vibe to the waterfront of Disney Springs West Side. Floor-to-ceiling windows and an expansive lakeside terrace frame sweeping views of the water, making it one of the most scenic dining spots in all of Disney Springs.
The restaurant’s ethos centers on fresh, seasonal ingredients — menus change to reflect what’s best at the market, with an emphasis on local produce and collaboration with specialty food producers. The result is a menu that feels lighter and brighter than typical theme park dining, with genuine culinary intent behind every dish.
The atmosphere is warm and lively without being loud: rattan accents, natural wood, and lush greenery reinforce the coastal California aesthetic. It works equally well for a leisurely weekend brunch, a casual weeknight dinner, or cocktails at the bar while watching the sun set over the lake.
Weekend brunch, with its famous giant cinnamon roll, draws a particularly enthusiastic following. Reservations are recommended for all meals, especially on weekends and during peak Disney Springs seasons.
