Do the cabins have any type of Christmas decorations inside or outside during the Christmas season?
I would Guess they don’t have Christmas tress in them but that would be a nice touch.

Wanted to give you guys a heads up, if you have a trip booked, there is a Wilderness Lodge MagicBand you can order for pre-arrival!

I had to buy this one. The other side of the band has a nice design on it that fits right into the Wilderness Lodge design.

No they don't. We brought a small tree that sits on a table for the living room. Here is photo from our stay from 11/29-12/4/2020.

So sad… I had this and then I think it fell off during the Haunted Mansion stretching room.

Help! We are at Copper Creek and the bellman said we should not drive to Magic Kingdom, we should take the boat. But I don’t think it gets there early enough for early open. Thoughts?

The boats should be running fairly early. Buses might be an option as well. Best to check with concierge/front desk on timing. Driving is not recommended because you have to deal with the parking gate (which backs up frequently now) and the TTC.

We took bus to MK for early entry, then boat back (couple weeks ago).

We were in Disney for the first time this past Christmas and we brought our own small, pre-lit tree from home. We purchased small decorations for the kids to decorate it the night before, it was really nice! Youngest was so excited in the morning when he saw Santa found us and dropped off a few presents!!

boat should get you there early enough. Weather (primarily morning fog) would be the only reason it doesn't depart on time, and if that happens, just take the bus. MK is really the only park I wouldn't consider driving to. You have to park at transportation center and then take the monorail loop. Too long of a process for my liking.

Update: we took the boat and it worked fine. We were not the first ones on, but we weren’t trying to get 7Dwarfs or Peter Pan.

We tried the Wilderness Resort candle from Magical Candle Company. Not 100% sure it is the same smell as the Lodge, but it does remind me of our WL vacation.
Anybody else tried it?

We got it and I agree it's not quite right. Not bad, but the WL smell is just so nice. It actually reminded me a little of Pirates of the Caribbean instead.

My wife was burning this candle for 8 months before we ever stepped foot in Wilderness Lodge, when the door open and the fragrance hit me it was like instant recognition. I think they nailed the scent profile but the in your face strength of the candle affects peoples perception. I like the smell of the lodge but can't be around the candle longer than about 5 minutes.

Now that I think about it, we had the Christmas at the Lodge one. Maybe that's why I didn't think it was quite right. You're right about how strong the scent is though, I couldn't burn it for very long.

Headed to CCV for Memorial Weekend, so excited!

Have the resort boats to the Contemporary resumed service yet? I love going over there directly and am hoping that this service may be available for my next trip.

The past few trips I’ve been to WDW I’ve noticed quite a few cast members training as boat captains, hopefully they’re gearing up to get everything back to normal.
