Resort Thread Disney's WILDERNESS LODGE

[lotsohugginbear]

It was also a great nature walk -- deer, turtles, frogs, mosquitos!
That was how we got to Trails End and the horse paddock. Is
there a sidewalk on the bus route to Fort Wilderness? For some reason I thought the jogging trail was a loop?

Unfortunately, it was all closed when they started construction on the (now canceled) Reflections Lakeside Lodge, and it hasn’t come back yet.

Thanks for creating the new thread! WL is our favorite, we're heading back in December for our 15th stay. The lodge really shines at Christmas!

Oh Wow! A new thread on my favorite WDW Resort: The Wilderness Lodge. Will be staying there in mid-December.

Thanks!

Something of note. For those who are going to the HDDR, there is a bus that runs from Ft. Wilderness to Wilderness Lodge and back. Usually about every 20 minutes. It's the yellow bus which is part of the internal loop. Just check with the bus driver to see what the first stop is.

We are staying Sept 11-14 as part of a split stay - just got an e-mail we got an upgrade to a deluxe room - we booked a concierge room. Anyone stay in a Deluxe room? Is there a close-by elevator to the 7th floor? trying to find a map of the 7th floor to see if the elevator halfway down the corridor connects up there.

Thank you! I'll add this to the transportation section. I was not sure if this bus route was still being done.

The deluxe rooms are on floors 1-6 and located at the end of the building, closest to the boat dock. You have to take the elevator that is closest to Roaring Forks to get to the 7th floor from a deluxe room or use the stairs.

• Deluxe rooms: 25

hey I think there are 12 deluxe rooms. 2 on the ends of floors 1 to 6.

Go past Territory Lounge and turn left.

You are correct they are all at the end of the North wing of the lodge overlooking Bay lake and the boat dock. They set at the end of the building with 2 Standard rooms between them.

They all have 2 balcony(s). A small one off the bedroom and a regular balcony facing Bay lake.

Deluxe rooms 25,

The total number of Deluxe rooms were reduced when the south side of the lodge was converted Cooper Creek DVC.

If you are on the lobby level just had past WC and Territory lounge and there will be a very large stone ramp that takes you down to the 1st floor. Roaring Fork is at the end of that first section of the north wing hallway section on the left. On the right is the outside eating area and path to the main pool and Geyser Point.

There is an elevator across the hall from Roaring Fork. It is right near the self-service laundry.

ETA: still working on spelling.

I edited the number of Deluxe and Club rooms upthread. Thanks all for helping with those numbers.

Thanks mrsap! I like the painting behind the sofa.
The color scheme seems a bit random.

I was going to withhold posting since that’s just one awkward angle picture, but I was thinking the same thing. Although I thought the same thing about the VGF2 early pics (color scheme seemed all over the place to me) and those turned out to be pretty attractive (in my opinion).

Walking into Boulder Ridge this morning there was a Disney Executive briefing a group of CMs, and I heard her say that the path was closed as "too dangerous for our guests" and has been replaced by bus service.
