wilderness lodge

Welcome everyone to my latest trip report! Thank you all for joining along in the fun! This trip was a shorter one for us, I flew down on Tuesday June 3rd, and my mom came to join me on June 4th. We both headed home on Sunday June 8th. This was also a split stay, at least for me. That first...

I messed up and didn't use up my BLT points. THEY EXPIRE NEXT WEEK, since they are FEBRUARY USE YEAR and expire at the end of this month. I currently have these on a 2 day reservation in one of the large cabins at COPPER CREEK (Wilderness Lodge) for the dates of TUESDAY Jan 28th (Check in)...

Hey all - hoping to tap into the collective knowledge here on some forthcoming decisions. My family (myself + spouse, 3 girls ages 7-12) will be taking our second Disney Cruise in late Feb 2026 out of Canaveral, and with the stars aligning how they are, we are considering a one-day first-time...

Planning my first-ever trip to WDW this Christmas (the week of) and need some advice—Wilderness Lodge or Grand Floridian for a solo holiday. Costs are about the same, so I’m hoping for insights from those who’ve stayed at either during the holidays. 🎄 The Grand Floridian looks beautiful with...

I have two contracts, one at Wilderness Lodge/Boulder Ridge and the other Animal Kingdom. I currently have 93 VWL and 123 AKL bankable UY24 points available, but willing to borrow from either contract to rent as many as 243 total VWL points or 283 AKL points if 11-month window priority is...

Hello! We're staying at Wilderness Lodge for the first time this summer. I've never been (except to have dinner with Snow White) but I've watched a bazillion videos and am very excited to stay there :D We are staying 2 weeks and the plan is mornings in the parks, afternoons pool side. We will...

Hi there! We have a trip planned for this April staying in a 2BR villa at Boulder Ridge. We have never stayed in this resort. My husband and I are traveling with our 2 kids (2.5 yrs old and 7.5 month old at time of trip) both light sleepers and since we are staying for 9 days sleep is going to...

I’m heading to WDW with my husband and one-year-old in early March and am looking for a (somewhat) simple way to get from Wilderness Lodge to International Gateway in order to rope drop Remy’s during early entry at Epcot. My first thought was to reserve an Uber carseat, but I was blown away by...

I have my heart set on staying at the Wilderness Lodge - Boulder Ridge - next year early December (4th-9th). How difficult is it to book a 1-bedroom villa at the DVC 7-month booking window? I understand it won’t be *easy* but is it totally impossible? I own at RR and VGF so have to wait until...

I've seen mixed things about the boats being back at the Wilderness, but can't figure out if the boat stops at the Contemporary Resort. I know the other option is to take the boat or bus to magic kingdom and monorail to Contemporary. Has anyone been able to take the boats now that they are back?

First time Campgrounds visitors here. Seeing lots of conflicting info about transport from the Campgrounds to Wilderness Lodge. Is there still a walking trail? How about a bus connecting the two? Pre-COVID the MK boat was a three stop loop between MK, Campgrounds and Wilderness Lodge - still the...

Trying to decide between the two for a quick Fall trip. Heard nightmares about recent transportation issues from Wilderness Lodge area, so maybe leaning towards BCV, but heard those were being refurbished through Fall. Anyone have strong favorites between the two?

Any tree nerds out there that can identify what kind of pine tree this is (on the right behind the number/lantern)? Slash Pine? Loblolly? Red pine?

Trying to plan our MK time after dinner, and I don't want to overbook LL or anything. We have 4pm Storybook Dining reservations. How long does the meal take on average? 90 minutes? 2 hours?

Does anyone know when the decor in the lodge will be set up? We are planning a trip next year in November and wanted to make sure it’s all decked out. It will be our first time!

I’ve been going to Disneyworld a few times a year for 10 years. I’m a Disneyland local. I’ve stayed at just about every Disney hotel (and a few offsite) and became a DVC member a few years ago. Here are my unfiltered thoughts on Disneyworld resort hotels. Hopefully this helps people planning...

Hi everyone! We have a Disney trip scheduled December 30-January 6. Our room is currently at the wilderness lodge, courtyard view. There are 4 (2 adults 2 kids) and one still naps so a larger room would be helpful. My preference (in order) would be either a deluxe room on the concierge, or a...

How does the pool at Wilderness Lodge compare to the Caribbean Beach Resort pool? Do they do organized afternoon activities like they do at CBR the kiddos loved that a few years ago where they did dance games, limbo, crafts, trivia, etc every afternoon. And if you are staying at Boulder Ridge...

Hi We've only been to Disney World once 3 years ago when kiddos were 7 & 9. They're now 10 & 12. Stayed at CBR and we loved it we went about a month after the skyliner opened and we were in Jamaica a stones throw from it so that was perfect! We would hit the parks in the am, pool from 1-5 then...

Has anyone heard any news about opening dates for Artist Point at Wilderness Lodge? I haven't seen anyone ask this question before, and am beginning to wonder if I missed an announcement stating it was going to be closed indefinitely. I hope that's not the case. My family had a great experience...
