Resort Thread Disney's WILDERNESS LODGE

[Wood Nymph]

Am I correct that they alternate between the large and small boats in the morning? Also, do you happen to know when they start running for early entry?

The MK boat starts running at 7:30am. They still alternate boats.

Scaffolding Erected and New Carpets Debut at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge​

When visiting Disney’s Wilderness Lodge today, we noticed that the construction is primarily focused on the Copper Creek Villas.

Work is currently focused on the first and second floors.

Here is another look.

Scaffolding has also been erected as construction crews are painting the exterior.

We were able to spot construction workers on the roof.

Here is a closer look.

Inside the resort, new carpeting has debuted.

Here is a closer glimpse.

While work continues on the Copper Creek Villas, it appears that things have wrapped up at the Cascade Cabins.

The last time we checked in, scaffolding covered the side of the building.

As you can see, however, the construction equipment is still on site.

At this time, Disney has not announced a completion date for the Wilderness Lodge refurbishment.

However, Work is expected to continue through September.

NM! Double post!

Third Floor of Copper Creek Villas Closed at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge as Refurbishment Continues​

Crews are currently doing repair maintenance and painting the exterior of the building. During this time, the sidewalk that runs beside the building is closed for guest use.



In the blocked-off area, several green barricades, railing pieces, and construction equipment are present.


Scaffolding can be seen from the inside of the building along with “Sidewalk Closed” detour signs, leading guests down the interior walkway.



Currently, the first and second floor sliding doors of many Copper Creek Villa rooms are taped off.


The interior view of the room is blocked by black plastic. With the blue painter’s tape and plastic covering, it is likely that these rooms are getting a fresh coat of paint.


The entirety of the third floor is also closed-off to guest access at this time. The sign reads “Please Pardon our Pixie Dust” as the “3rd floor is temporarily closed for refurbishment.” Guests are encouraged to used the elevators near Roaring Fork to access open areas of the third floor in other sections of the building.


Signage is also posted inside the elevator and on other floors.

New Carpet Added to Fourth Floor​

Up on the fourth floor, new carpet has been installed on guest walkways.


The carpet is printed with a western-style pattern made up of angles and arrows. The new design is colored in shades of red, teal, green, and tan.

Exactly what I saw this past weekend! Nice pictures, as always!
