Boulder Ridge parking

[edweg]

Hello. First time visitor to Boulder Ridge Villas. I have some questions.
1) Does Boulder Ridge have its own parking lot(s)?
2) Do we unload our vehicle at Wilderness Lodge Bell Services?
3) If using the boat transportation to Magic Kingdom, is the dock within walking distance from Boulder Ridge or is there some type of shuttle?

Thank you for your input.

I estimate around 5 min walk from the to the villas to the main boat dock.

You can use the valet of the Wilderness Lodge, or the main Wilderness Lodge parking lot - it's not separate for Boulder.

The bus stop is close to the front entrance of Boulder Ridge's building so you don't have to enter or pass through the lodge, and the boat docks are a 4-5 minute walk past the Wilderness Lodge's main pool (there's a boardwalk that runs past the geyser so you never have to enter or go near the main Lodge building to get to the boats.

Bell services and check in are both at the main Wilderness Lodge building.

Fun Fact: The bus is closer to BRV, and a faster trip to MK. We never use the boat at WL; it's all the way on the other end of the resort. When we were at BRV in February, the WL bus stop was right at the front of the MK bus stops.

To further elaborate on the excellent posts above, as you drive into WL, you'll come to a stop sign with all the bus service pick up/drop off points on your right. Straight ahead, you'll see the grand entrance to the Lodge, so pull up there to unload. After you unload, you pull through and you'll see the expanse of the WL parking lot in front and to the left of you. Truly easy though you might have a slight walk from your car depending on the time of day. As for the boat dock, it's a 5-7 minute walk from Boulder Ridge. The bus stops are located right in between the main Lodge and BRV, thus about 3-4 minutes to get to it from your room. Enjoy my home resort! The resort isn't very big, so it's nothing like SSR, for example.

1. It shares with WL. I suggest self parking. Once you pull away from the lobby area of main lodge, turn back to the left and go to the last or 2nd to last parking row. This gets you as close as possible to BRV area.
As you approach WL look to the far right of the main bldg, you will see the bus area. Just behind this is BRV

2. I would. 2 reasons, most times, unless after 5(no guarantees)would your room be airing ready, not likely, so you don’t have to worry about luggage and hauling the stuff yourself once room is ready. Plus, you can hit the parks, pools, get in a grocery run, Disney springs, water parks, whatever suits your fancy. Not sitting around waiting is a plus.

3. It’s a 10 min walk max
You can follow the outside path or go through main lobby
Either will get you there

Take time to explore the Lodge
IMO it’s the most stunning resort on property
