Water Fun at the Disney Wilderness Lodge
- Heated Pools
- Water Slide
- Children's Pool
- Hot Tub
- Fantastic Views
Walking through the lobby, one feature really stands out. On the far side, a wooden walking bridge spans over a small flowing creek. With a closer look, you notice the large open spring flows through the lodge lobby and down to the Family Swimming Pool. Get ready for the excitement to start at this point as it will be impossible to contain your child's excitement as they view the large swimming pool with a 67-foot water slide built into a rock formation. You better get checked in quick because I am sure that the kids will be wanting to play in the pool as soon as they can get there. Beside the main pool, a shallow kiddie pool awaits for the youngest ones to splash and play without concern of them getting in too deep. Two (2) large Hot Tubs are nestled into the landscape, just above this main Pool area, ready for the adults to sit and relax while the children are playing. If you are looking for some quiet time to read a book but still want to hang out near the water, there is also a smaller Quiet Pool on the Property or a large White Sandy Beach by Bay Lake.
Breathtaking Lobby at the Wilderness Lodge
Entering the main lobby through the large doorways, be prepared to pick up your jaw as it drops on the floor. Trust me, even if you are not staying at the Wilderness Lodge as your primary Disney Resort, be sure to take a trip over to see this amazing structure. As you look up in the lobby, the sheer size and vast open area with a full height of 6 stories is quite overwhelming. Giant wooden beams that support the structure, as well as the few large totems, make you feel like you have stepped into a completely different location. Disney has really done a great job of setting the stage to make you have a sense of being in a place like Yellowstone Park.
Wilderness Lodge Disney World Resort
Take time to relax and appreciate the rustic adventure at one of the most impressive resorts in the Disney World Property, the Disney Wilderness Lodge. The Disney Wilderness Lodge Resort is constructed in a way to make you feel as if you have stepped directly into one of the Majestic National Parks in the Northwest of our great country. Enormous is the Main Lodge which is styled after the older wooden structures that you will find around the beauty and tranquility of Northwestern Nature. Known to be one of the best-designed resorts in Disney World, the Wilderness Lodge stands out as a front runner when making the decision on which Disney World Deluxe Resort you are going to book for your next stay.
Rooms at the Wilderness Lodge
Comfort with a rustic flare separate the rooms at the Disney Wilderness Lodge from other Disney Deluxe Resorts. Rough sawn wooden logs make up the bed structure but the comfort of the mattress and the bed linens will give you the best night sleep you have had in a while. Southwestern colors and theme flow through the bedding, to the carpets on the floor to fill the rooms with an authentic feeling of staying in a high-end log cabin. Many of the rooms are positioned in a similar fashion to a standard hotel room with the option of 1 King bed or 2 Queen Beds, but the layout with the bunk beds are a favorite among the kids. Walking out on the balcony, you can see what makes the Wilderness Lodge Resort so amazing, views of the forest, the lake or even the pool area are options when you make your reservations. While the standard rooms are sufficient for many guests, a little nicer experience can be had by making the step up to one of the suites. If you are a Disney Vacation Club (DVC) member, the Wilderness Lodge has a full range of Villas to stay in.

Fun Things to Do at the Wilderness Lodge
Set aside time during your visit to the Disney Wilderness Lodge to experience all of the amazing recreations around the resort. Certainly, the Silver Springs Pool with its 67-foot water slide is going to be a focal point for the kids, but don’t rule out all of the other fun. Take the family out on the Lake with one of the motorized watercraft, or rent a bike and ride the trails around the Wilderness Lodge and over to the Disney Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground. If the Orlando heat starts to take its toll on you, head inside to the Buttons & Bells arcade. Join other guests for an outdoor movie and settle in for the evening.

Dining at the Wilderness Lodge
The Character dining experience at the Disney Wilderness Lodge stands out from the other Disney Resorts; the Wilderness Lodge offers a Dinner experience with Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Yes, a dinner, not a breakfast like all of the other resorts. Have a delicious dinner at Artists Point while meeting and having pictures with some of the best-known characters in Disney World. The Whispering Canyon Cafe is another great Old-West themed restaurant to dine at any time during the day.
