The hotel

The wilderness has never been more wonderful than at Disney's Wilderness Lodge! The majesty and grandeur of the great American Northwest echo throughout this relaxing mountain retreat and will appeal to every member of the family. Bubbling springs, authentic Native American carvings and an inspiring décor take you back in time to the historic national park lodges of yesteryear. Scenic wonders are everywhere, from fantastically themed restaurants to an amazing geyser faithfully shooting water 12-storeys high every hour! The kids will love the totem pole in the lobby, carved with all their favourite Disney characters. In fact, there's endless fun to be had here for everyone, both day and night!

I've stayed now at several Disney resort hotel properties both value and deluxe since joining DVC. This has to be my all time favorite and it is absolutely beautiful. Not only is the property gigantic and spacious, the rooms are nicely decorated and very comfortable. The layouts at least for the DVC rooms are similar to other resorts and contain similar features. The grounds of this place (we were there November Thanksgiving) are beautifully decorated and there are several fireplaces throughout. Two pools on the grounds are large, waterside in one was ok but could have been bigger, no pool bars at either pool but a very large bar/restaurant shared Geyser Point which was great. The inside of the main lodge was awesome and huge and the onsite restaurants of course are great especially Artists Point. Just an awesome stay and transportation to the parks was frequent and easy and close to all parks. Read less

We stayed at Wilderness Lodge from Nov 4th-11th. First off, the outside environment of the resort is lovely. Lush greenery and trees, sounds of crickets and owls pumped in at night. The smell of campfire and wood burning. The inside is much different than any other Disney Resort, but frankly, for the cost it was rather underwhelming. Everything is a bit outdated. Carpets are dirty. The ramp to and from the lobby is a bit difficult to navigate with a luggage cart and small children. Our room faced the pool which was nice, but it had a musty odor. The beds were about 3 feet off the ground and our middle child fell off in the middle of the night and split his head open on the hardwood floor. Not real safe for small children. The floor we stayed on was terribly noisy from about 0600 until after midnight some nights. Kids screaming and running up and down the halls, adults talking loud, laughing and even arguing. Toilets flushing and showers running....the list goes on. We came back to nap one day and the music and bass at the pool was so loud we couldn't sleep. Tried to sit outside with my husband on our first night after our kids went to bed and the girl on the balcony right next to us (only separated partially by a partition) was smoking marijuana with the wind blowing in our direction. So our room then wreaked of weed with our kids inside. Housekeeping was just okay. We never had our linens changed once and for a family of 5, we were given 4 new towels everyday. Two days we had to call for housekeeping because no one showed up when we were out all day. Despite others opinions, we thought the Roaring Fork was very good. Their bacon, egg and cheese croissants were delicious, as well as their bacon cheeseburgers on brioche roll and fries. The outside Geyser Point take out grill was gross. I got a chicken sandwich that tasted like rubber and was definitely not cooked all the way through. My kids cheeseburgers looked like they were microwaved and super thin and dry and my husband said his steak sandwich was gross. And our standards for food are not terribly high. The pool area was okay. Chairs seemed dirty. Very difficult to find seating even first thing in the morning. The lifeguards were SUPER attentive which was nice. Front desk staff was very nice. Mercantile was fully stocked with everything you could ever need, in addition to the latest Disney merch. Food at the Whispering Canyon was very good, even better than Storybook Dining in my opinion and we loved the intentional rudeness of the staff! 😂 Transportation by boat to MK was nice and buses were prompt and efficient. It was an okay place to shower and rest, but next time we'll choose the Poly or Contemporary. Something a little less dated for the cost. Read less

Disney's Wilderness Lodge is our favorite resort so far. We were here in the beginning of October, and this past June as well. It is very relaxing, we loved just hanging out in the beautiful lobby. Pools are great too. Rooms are very nice. I haven't got anything negative to say about it!!

We stayed at this resort many years ago and loved it then. The resort has renovated their rooms and have retained the wonderful theming as well as improving the rooms. We had a non connecting room on the 6th floor overlooking Cinderella’s Castle. We watched the fireworks from our balcony. We had two very comfortable queen beds, large flatscreen TV, multiple outlets and a beautiful bathroom with both a rain shower head and a handheld one. A coffee maker and refrigerator were provided. There is a quick service restaurant and two sit down restaurants. You can get a motor launch ride to the Magic Kingdom, the campground and the Contemporary Resort. Buses also service to take you to different areas at Disney. Book a higher floor room and ask for it to be non connecting to ensure it will be quiet. You can pay extra to have access to the club floor too. We will definitely return here on our next visit. Read less
