On any floor from 1 - 6 scattered along the north wing mostly on the outside of the building. On Floors 1-2 there are a few on the inner Courtyard side.

On Floors 4, and 6 they are scattered from the main building all along outside of the wing. There are only about 10 on fl 4, and about 6 on the 6rh floor.

In the MK but from the resort the best location would be the concrete area on the Bay Lake side of Geyser Point. You might also considering walking out toward the boat dock area as you will be on Bay Lake.

The area closest to the lake by Geyser Point has a good view. And you can hear the music. If you only want to see the fireworks and don't care about the music then there are fantastic views from the windows on the 4th, 5th and 6th floors. Just open the wooden shutters and you can see the castle. These windows are near the elevators just past Roaring Fork.

When we were there last week, we saw it from Geyser Point, but the music was very soft.

If you are a bit more adventurous, you could take the boat to the Contemporary. There is a viewing platform on the Concourse level that has a very nice view and the music was at correct level. If younger their early, there are even benches for the best views. There is a direct boat from WL to Contemporary (via Fort Wilderness). Would be a nice evening excursion on a non-park day.

Are the bear claws available all day or are they just a breakfast food?

In November, we arrived at the hotel at about 10:30pm and they still had one available!

Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Column Painting Complete

It appears crews have finished repainting the exterior columns of Disney’s Wilderness Lodge. We reported on the column repainting last month, when some columns had been stripped of brown wood-colored paint.
Now all the columns are back to their standard wood color and looking freshly painted. It’s possible there are still a few left to touch up.


We did see a pair of lifts parked near one wing of the resort. However, they weren’t in use during our recent visit and there were no crew members nearby.


This work is part of an ongoing exterior refurbishment to Disney’s Wilderness Lodge and Copper Creek Villas & Cabins. It’s scheduled through late 2026. The project started in the fall of 2025.

Disney warns guests the construction may impact views and they may see or hear work during daytime hours.
