The wilderness lodge is a little slice of heaven amongst the chaos of Disney World. It's a great retreat from a long day at the park that offers more privacy than other deluxe resorts. There are plenty of dining options that offer walk-up availability, the rooms are spacious and clean, and the grounds are immaculate. Would absolutely recommend.
It was our first stay at Wilderness Lodge. We did a 2 night deluxe club level stay and we enjoyed it. Room was clean, the staff were friendly and helpful. The pool area was clean well maintained.
My husband and I spent a super cold couple days at Christmas. Our room was incredible with a beautiful view. The hotel was amazing. Can’t wait to do it again soon.
This place is amazing! You will not be disappointed, we had no trouble taking the boat to Magic Kingdom, buses to all other Disney properties. The pool
Is so fun, we can’t wait to go back! You’ll be very happy with this trip!
We loved the Willdreness lodge primarily because it is a very comfortable place to stay at. The lobby is always airy and it never feels overcrowdes as it does in some other resorts. The boat ride to Magic Kingdom is amazing:) The downside is that the pool for kids is kind of small and there is not much food wise. The only place you can eat at without a reservation has a very tiny menue. So, there is not much to choose from. The staff in the Roaring fork is super nice. The staff at the front desk is less nice and less efficient. The laundry on our side of the hotel was pretty poorly maintained so I wanted to use the one on the other side of the Hotel but nobody at the front desk told me my key does not open it. This caused several trips up and down the hotel until we figured out they need to give us a separate key. All if thia could have been avoided uf only the front desk staff gave the right information once I notified them of the mulfunction at our laundry room. Anyhow, this is not a reason to avoid this Hotel. The beds are super comfy and the doors and rooma have good sound isolation. Having a balcony was a real plus. We would come again.
Had a great time - hotel lived up to the Disney experience. High level of service especially at check-in and check-out, comfortable rooms, and easy access to the parks and Disney Springs. Definitely recco.
I enjoyed the Wilderness Lodge very much. The lobby is beautiful, you feel like you’re in a massive log cabin. The room isn’t fancy (especially the bathroom), but clean, comfortable and practical. Nice tv. The location was excellent. You can take a boat to the magic kingdom. Or a bus to any of the other parks (or the Contemporary where you can get the monorail). We tried the Roaring Fork (for a quick serve type lunch and muffins for breakfast and snacks) and Geyser Point for a lite dinner. Both were good. Only complaint was I would have loved a little ice cream shop.
Excellent property with easy access to theme parks — boat ride to Magic Kingdom was especially convenient.
With the reduced pandemic housekeeping services, having no room cleaning services for most part of my 5 night trip was bizarre, especially given the price point.
Highly recommended.
This was a last minute booking. We were already in Disney and wanted to stay an extra night. This property is beautiful. We ended up on the concierge floor even tho they don’t offer that anymore. Which in its self was an upgrade in my mind. The room was beautiful and clean. Looked like they just built it. We had a view of the castle and got to see the fire works at night. It was amazing!
The place was wonderful. The attention to detail was magical. The room was comfortable and the staff was friendly. The amenities were great. The lobby is gorgeous.
The property was lovely and the lobby was fabulous. Rooms were very nice !
The only disappointment was we couldn't eat at the restaurant for breakfast. We walked up about 8 am and were turned away since we had no 'reservation'. There were lots of empty tables. I never had to make a reservation at a hotel where I was staying before. Call me old fashioned but that's not good hospitality. I'm not a millenial or on my phone 24/7. I choose not to be. The changes in making people use phones all day is not a good one. I get the 'no contact' reason but turning people away when they've spent $450 a night to stay there is absurd.
