Thanks for the response. I guess if no buses go directly to Contemporary when the boats are not running we'll probably Uber/Lyft. But may just cancel our reservation and reschedule for later in the year when all of the construction is finished.

We've used the DS bus option @Mle8308 mentioned before and it works great. Just confirm with the driver that they will be stopping at the Contemporary. I honestly don't recall a time when it didn't stop there first and we stay at the Lodge a lot and often head to DS. We have plans to go to Steakhouse 71 for dinner during that timeframe and this is our plan again. Coming back, we'll probably just walk over to MK and catch the bus from there. Otherwise, you have to ride to DS before heading to the Lodge.

Of course Uber/Lyft works as well .

Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Debuts Small Chocolate Cabin Instead of Life-Size House​

Disney’s Wilderness Lodge has opened their holiday market table with a small chocolate and gingerbread cabin instead of a life-size display.



Though Disney Parks Blog initially announced Disney’s Wilderness Lodge would have a gingerbread display, they later changed their post to state, “Additionally, Disney’s Wilderness Lodge will have a market table in the lobby with holiday treats available for purchase.” With the table’s opening on Friday, November 21, the resort did display a holiday creation — a small cabin made of chocolate and gingerbread instead of the large display we expected.



The confection is inspired by Wilderness Lodge with a green roof and a pair of tall chimneys. Disney, U.S.A., and Florida flags are on top of the roof.



Santa Mickey and Mrs. Claus Minnie are in a sleigh figurine perched on the rooftop.


A tiny Christmas tree glows from within, just like the towering tree in the real lobby. There are other small trees glowing in the windows and wreaths on the outer walls. Faux icicles line the edge of the roof.


A bear figure is at one corner. There are Christmas trees to the sides. Mushrooms grow on a log alongside a white rabbit.



At the opposite corner is the lodge’s iconic totem featuring Mickey, Goofy, Donald, and Humphrey. Another log features a pair of chocolate squirrels.


Disney’s Wilderness Lodge did have a life-size gingerbread log cabin featuring Humphrey the Bear back in 2019.



The counter with the display as well as treats and merchandise for sale is at the back of the Wilderness Lodge lobby.
