The hotel

Offering home comforts in spacious studios and villas, Boulder Ridge recalls the 1860's railroad hotels of the American West. Surrounded by pine trees and boulders, this resort celebrates the great outdoors - with fun to be had for all ages. From campfire activities to poolside games, and movies under the stars, you can be as active or as chliled as you like during your stay. Dine with Snow White and her seven dwarfs at Artist Pointe - a meal that all the family will enjoy. The villas are equipped with a fully functional kitchen to whip up your own food too of course. And if you stay here, you're just a breezy boat ride away from Magic Kingdom Park too!

Our first time staying at Boulder Ridge in a 1 BR villa and it was great. Stayed at copper creek 2BR a few years ago and both are comparable. Both renovated and smartly laid out. Kid was happy in their murphy bed in the living space and we enjoyed our privacy. Bathroom huge with shower and bath options and adjoining doors. The DVC was straight downstairs and quiet and lovely. The main pool is a short walk away with activities and lifeguards. Fun for kids and they have movie nights and nightly s’mores ($ for s’more package but free for marshmallows on a stick) for free. Easy to access the Geyser Point restaurant (we got tAke out) and the refill station there. Easy to go to parks with bus or boat but the magic kingdom boat doesn’t start until half an hour before park open and buses seem to have a later start than we would like as well to MK. Maybe that’s deliberate on disneys part?? We had a fire alarm one night and couldn’t go back to our rooms for a very long time. Karen manager was super great and redirected us to the Territory Lounge (highly recommend) for comp food which was nice. This was a one off so I wouldn’t let that detract you from staying here. We love this complex for the Banff-like feels and easy access to parks. I took a DVC tour or Polynesian villas and those were bright and new. Different feel from the lodge feel here. I like the available shade at wilderness pools. The food is mostly Pacific Northwest type (hot sandwiches, burgers, sausages, salads). Love that you can see the Ogo Pogo light up and the MK fireworks from the waters edge near the Geyser Point nightly. Would stay here again but I like to try new things and we have stayed at wilderness lodge resort multiple times now! Read less

Boulder Ridge makes you Feel like you are not even at Disney or even Florida. Feels like the Northwest with all the pine trees. Room was clean and quiet. We had a one bedroom villa that had two separate sinks, a soak tub, shower, and toilet. Staff was friendly and me me at the door for check in. Boats to Magic Kingdom were nice.

From the time we checked our bags with Taylor to the time we loaded the Mears car to depart, the hotel staff was friendly, and the hotel was incredible. The cast members really make the stay worthwhile, in my opinion. Unfortunately, I am really bad with names, so I can not name everyone who made my stay extra special.

The Carolwood Pacific Railway Room is a hidden gem at the Wilderness Lodge. Located in the DVC Boulder Ridge Villas, the Railway Room is a wing off the lobby. The Railway Room is a cozy hideaway for those who need a break from the Disney park mania. The large reading room has tables and chairs as well as comfortable rocking chairs in front of a stone fireplace. Photos, train models and other memorabilia fill the room. Large windows look out to the surrounding woods. We were lucky to catch the second half of the Wonders of the Lodge Art & Architecture Tour (free daily tour) given by Alan, a Cast Member who has lived and breathed Disney his entire life. With his knowledge of all things Disney and his own personal life stories, Alan brought to life the black and white photos and memorabilia displayed in the Railway Room. Thank you Alan :o) We noticed that many hotel guests visit this room. It's a shame that Disney does the tour only in the morning when most guests are at the parks. Read less

Amazing place to stay. Something for everyone. Great pool. Good food. Lovely staff. Peaceful and quiet resort. Great for relaxing. You feel like you are camping with style and comfort. The Lodge is gorgeous with relaxing seating areas and fireplaces. Roomy and comfy rooms. You can see the fireworks from Magic Kingdom each evening and there is a Water parade every night at 9:30pm with a front row view. Great transport with the buses to the park. Cant say enough good things about this resort and we have stayed at many! Read less
