We spent our first week at Disney's Wilderness Lodge and it is a wonderful property. We have stayed at most of the Disney resorts and just now made it to this one. We had a two bedroom suite with Kitchen, 2 bathrooms and washer and dryer. It was very comfortable for our family of 6 as the couch makes into a suprisingly comfortable bed as well. we were on the 5th floor and had a small balcony overlooking Bay lake and you could see some of the fireworks from Magic Kingdom at night. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen had everything one could need. We love the architecture of the resort as well as the grounds. The restaurants are good, they have two pools as well as a ball court. There is a boat to Magic Kingdom and the other Bay lake resorts so it gives an option besides bussing to the parks. All of the resorts at Disney are great and Wilderness Lodge is certainly great as well.

The Old Faithful Club is the club level at the Wilderness Lodge and we found it to have the best food of all of the Disney club levels. There was always food that our two little picky eaters would eat. While the club level isn’t cheap the cost can be offset if you do much of your dining there. The cast members were also great in the club level. You can catch the Magic Kingdom fireworks from the club level area and we were told they also pipe in the music for the fireworks but we watched the fireworks from the comfort of our room. We stayed in room 7066 and as you can see from the photos the view of the fireworks was amazing. This room is also the closest room to the club level so grabbing a quick cup of coffee first thing in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening is just around the corner.

The wilderness lodge feels premium from the moment you see it. The architecture is striking and unlike any other run of the mill hotel. But unlike other resorts which attractive exteriors, the bell service to the front desk, and certainly the main lobby with the five story soaring wooden looking beams impresses. It doesn't stop there however. The rooms are small but adequate and tastefully updated. The dloors are a laminate looking wood and the bathroom is bright and sizeable with large tiles. The on-site restaurants serve large portions of tasty food (not inexpensive though). We had a balcony room that the kids enjoyed sitting on after returning from the park. Nothing negative to say really other than guests with electric scooters are allowed to park them in the hallways, which makes pushing a bellhop cart filled with luggage padt them more like a tetris game. Hotel management should revise this policy.

First feelings when entering the lobby of the lodge was that is was "huge." To me, the lodge would feel more comfortable during the late fall and winter season with its lodge decor and fireplaces being inviting. We stayed here because, for us, we have not stayed at this deluxe resort before and its proximity to Magic Kingdom. PROS-The resort itself makes you feel you were in the woods, easy boat ride to the front of Magic Kingdom just like from TTC, beautiful decor and grounds, nice gift shop. Our room was overlooking an area near the lobby which was fine and the balcony itself was ok. Our room was decent size for the 2 of us. Plenty of storage and good size bathroom. Food was okay. We ate at the quick serve a few times and the Geyser Point Bar and Grill. We placed mobile orders and ate on our balcony not at each place. CONS- being a larger resort there was some walking; especially from the parking lot (we had our own car) to the entrance doors to the resort. Employees of the resort used the same parking as the guest. Yes, there was specific places to park for employees, but no one to enforce it. Each day we used our car we watched employees going to and from their vehicles walking right by ours. Sometimes, they had better parking spots than we did so prepare to walk. Another con was valet guest services didn't like you temporarily parking in the valet drop off and pick up if you wanted to unload your vehicle so prepare to carry your luggage and items up many sets of steps to get to the front doors. This seems to be a Disney thing at many resort. Another CON; only 2 sets of elevators. On our check in day, a cast member told me I would have to take the elevator (furthest away) past the restaurants, down a long ramp, through the busy lobby crowds, just to get to my room. Nope! We did that and then found the other elevator (closer to the check in desk and gift store). The resort has 2 sides: Wilderness Lodge and Copper Creek which is DVC. I guess the non-DVC guest are pushed to the elevator furthest away. However, the Wilderness Lodge side connects up to the Copper Creek side and elevator. This was much easier. During the evening, the Magic Kingdom fireworks music is pumped through the resort so, during that time, the outside are can be loud and we could hear everything inside our room. While it seems like a lot of CONS we would stay here again.

This resort has always been a favourite of ours, we are from the uk and this year just me and my wife traveled so only 2 of us, the room was clean and had a great view, we were even able to see the fireworks at the Magic Kingdom, I did have an issue with my credit card being charged incorrectly, but the Manager Becca sorted this out very quickly and was very reassuring, a first class service from start to finish, I will be staying here again in the future.

We have been coming to Disney multiple times a year for 22 years (DVC members).. My husband has disabilities, primarily trouble walking. This is all over our reservation history. Usually I note this when making the reservation, but Widerness Lodge had no option to do so. I assumed we could address this at check-in. Nope. Here’s your room, take it or leave. It is the farthest room on property. 8 minute walk for me to the lobby. 10 to car. Much longer for my husband, who needs to stop multiple times. We have wasted a half day of our precious vacation trying to get a room change. Husband does not want to use any amenities because they are too far to walk. We have stayed at every premium resort on property multiple times but never again at Wilderness Lodge! Ableist attitude. Do not consider if you have any disabilities. They do not care!

We have stayed here on a number of occasions and it remains our favourite Disney hotel. Newly renovated rooms are great and the pools are excellent. Easy access to the magic kingdom via the reliable boat service. Good restaurants with a wide variety of choices. The lobby is stunning and a lovely place to have a coffee, relax and watch the world go by…..

I went here for my birthday and The resort experience Itself was incredible the food was magnificent and the hospitality was amazing. Great disney magic as always and The lodge interior was so magical yet took me back to the western times. With Native American art and headdress to the patterns on the walls.

This resort is not only beautiful!!! Its cozy environment makes you feel like walking around and relaxing in one of their amazing fireplaces. There’s a boat that will take you to magic kingdom in less than 10 minutes. The busses pick up quip for the other parks. All cast members are super friendly! The manager Ken at the front desk was so accommodating when my husband needed help due to a foot injury. This resort is VERY DISABILITY FRIENDLY. My husband needed to be on a scooter and crutches while on our trip. All restaurants and walking areas are wheelchair accessible. Love love LOVE this resort. We will return!!
