Wilderness Lodge Grill Location?

[cindy_k]

Hubby and I are going to spend a week at the Wilderness lodge for our anniversary.
I only booked a studio for this trip.
I have read that there was a grill down behind the bike rental shop. Is it still there?

Yes. There is both a sit down section for food and bar and a counter service there. Also Roaring Fork counter service in the main building.

I know there are BBQ’s by the Cabins.
There are a few.
There is one a min walk from rental shop.
They are beautiful Viking Grills.

Oh that would be better than what is on this list:

It just says there is a Charcoal one down by the beach.
But I was worried that it was just removed for the cabin construction and beach to rock conversion.

Can anyone use the ones by the Cabins? I am not staying in a Cabin but in the older side.

Here is a map http://www.dvcexplorer.com/qm/staticAssets/pdfs/CCVC_ResortMap.pdf?pageWidth=450&pageHeight=600

This shows 2 in total. I was under the impression there was actually 4 locations. See this link down under Barbecue Pavilion it says 4 areas, https://disneyvacationclub.disney.g...creek-villas-and-cabins/amenities-recreation/. I sort of recall 3 different locations. Also since Copper Creek opened is when they converted to gas I believe.

As far as I know the grills are open for anyone staying at the DVC properties (BRV/CCV) and perhaps WL in general though I'm not positive on that front.

There's a big one by the basketball court with picnic tables next to it, 2 grills and it's undercover.

The map is a bit misleading. There is definitely a larger area on the north side of the main resort near Cabin 8006 (pictured on the map). There is also one around 8016 on the south side of the main Lodge, though it is slightly smaller (it doesn't appear on the map). There are no restrictions on who uses the grills, and I've never seen them busy. I don't know that the old charcoal grill behind Teton rentals is still there as that space is now occupied by a cabin (8013). For the record, there are no longer bike rentals at WL since the biking path to FW has been shut down (as of early March).

Oh! Are there still walking trails at least? Yikes!

No, no walking trails, either. The old nature trail that used to start behind Teton Rentals is gone; it disappeared when they began putting in the cabins. The paved biking/walking path to FW was still open until late Feb/early March. We stayed at the Lodge from 5-9 March, and we discovered the fence blocking the path along with the sign saying the path was closed "for refurbishment." To my knowledge, we were the first to note it was closed, so I think it had been very recently shut. The latest report has the direct bus route between WL and FW closed now, and the sight of dump trucks now using the road, obviously due to the beginning phase of the next resort to be raised: Reflections. So, if you want to walk or run, you'll have to either do a loop using the sidewalk that connects the cabins and the Lodge parking lot, or just walk from one end of the sidewalk to the other and then turn around and go back.
