This is nice to know. I love watching the fireworks from the resort.
Has anyone stayed in a king room resort view room facing the Contemporary resort? I’m trying to figure out which floors have the most probability of one since it’s been 11 years since else last stayed and categories have change a lot since then. Thanks in advance
I was in one back in April, room 6085. Had an obstructed view of the fireworks, but could still see some of the higher ones. It is one of the rooms that opens directly to the lobby, I was worried about the noise, but once the door closed I didn't hear anything. Would stay in that room again!Has anyone stayed in a king room resort view room facing the Contemporary resort?

The water sprites aka mouse boats left in 2006, and their replacement the Sea Raycers stopped in 2020 but they were not officially cancelled until 2022.
Thanks for sharing! We won't be home until July, but excited to see that they are making progress and areas are getting back to normal.Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Upper Level Terraces Reopen and Window Decals Removed as Refurbishment Work Continues
Visitors are still asked to mind the pixie dust in certain areas of the rustic resort, but some spots have been restored to accessible condition for guests.
Ongoing construction remains visible around Disney’s Wilderness Lodge, with new photos showing continued refurbishment activity near the Copper Creek Villas & Cabins area of the resort.
The latest views show work still affecting exterior terraces, guest pathways, and portions of the resort’s lakeside-facing buildings.
Disney previously announced that Copper Creek Villas & Cabins at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge would undergo refurbishment from mid-May through September 2025.
In the core building, Disney has reopened the upper lobby terraces that were previously locked off to guests for refurbishment work.
The lobby-level terrace, however, remained closed during our latest visit, though by the look of things, we suspect it may be guest-ready in the near future.
The exterior of the building appears largely uncovered in several views, though refurbishment impacts are still noticeable along the roofline.
The most notable inaccessible section remains the primary walkway from the resort’s core over to the boat dock. While a branching portion of the walkway has been restored, the longer central path is still missing much of its woodwork.
Lastly, and fortunately for guests who enjoy the resort’s natural views and rockwork just beyond the lobby, refurbishment efforts have now removed themed window decals that once lined the path between the lobby and the Roaring Fork quick service location.
Each resort has a direct boat schedule to / from MK. They may alternate between low launches and a larger Cabin Cruiser that allow Scooter / Stollers to roll on / off from both the WL, and FW. The CR does not have a boat to MK.
We were there last week as well. Luckily, it didn't rain at all when we had to walk back from the dock. It is a bit of an outdoor walk with the detour.
I will compare progress tomorrow and see, but it should not take a whole lot of work to replace the remaining decking material. My question is whether they are waiting for more work to be completed underneath it first. Time will tell.
Yay! I have been enjoying your photos of your trips to WL for a long time now. Thanks for posting!
It was announced that the work would run through the end of July but I will add the boat dock is open with a detour unlike the dock at the Polynesian which is still currently closed.
I was thinking the same. The progress has been nonexistent since 5/24, when we arrived.
It may take a while, but I was at the BWK when they replaced those boards, and the workers managed to replace a large section in one day! That area is a little different though, because they were able to work in sections. Still, it was impressive how much work they were able to do in a day.
