Disney's Wilderness Lodge

Walt Disney World, Orlando

Virgin rating

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!

The Wilderness Lodge is a contender for the most beautiful resort on property. From the moment you enter you know you've entered a special place. Our room was a courtyard/water view and although you had to crane your neck to see a glimpse of water, we liked the location and the balcony. The room was spotless and was renovated recently so everything looked new. The in-room Keurig with a selection of coffees and teas makes for easy mornings getting your coffee fix. We sat in the lounge one evening and enjoyed some drinks and "Bacon on a Wire," which was four slices of house-made bacon and deviled eggs. We also had dinner at the Geyser Bar outside and I had a delicious bison burger. Get there by 9:30pm and you can watch the electrical water parade! My only complaint is that bus service can be slow, as some of the routes include stops at Fort Wilderness and/or the Contemporary. For example, Disney Springs is a 10min drive from the hotel but with a stop at Fort Wilderness it took over 30min to get there. Read less

We got a one bedroom villa here. When we arrived, we were so impressed with the lobby/room. Everything is clean, updated and inviting. The bathroom shower/tub were amazing.

Many restaurant options, we tried all of them and enjoyed each meal. Would highly recommended. There was a lot of action with characters in the lobby. Our 7 year old daughter loved the arcade and various activities put on by the staff. We would come back! Read less

The transportation to Magic Kingdom was on time and efficient, never had to wait more than 15 mins to take the boat to the park or back to the hotel. Read less

We always used to love coming to the Wilderness Lodge. Disney is not what it used to be. In general the facilities need serious upgrading. Staff is not friendly like they used to be. Prices for tickets to the park are super high at $169.00 per person with a $10 dollar break for a child. On top of that if you want a fast pass you now have to pay… Read more
We always used to love coming to the Wilderness Lodge. Disney is not what it used to be. In general the facilities need serious upgrading. Staff is not friendly like they used to be. Prices for tickets to the park are super high at $169.00 per person with a $10 dollar break for a child. On top of that if you want a fast pass you now have to pay extra per person, leaving you with even longer waits if you don’t want a fast pass. Clearly understaffed the rooms aren’t ready until way after 4pm. Just not the same Disney. The staff refers to everyone as “hi friends “. Which is really lame. Just not a good family experience anymore. Read less
