The hotel

The wilderness has never been more wonderful than at Disney's Wilderness Lodge! The majesty and grandeur of the great American Northwest echo throughout this relaxing mountain retreat and will appeal to every member of the family. Bubbling springs, authentic Native American carvings and an inspiring décor take you back in time to the historic national park lodges of yesteryear. Scenic wonders are everywhere, from fantastically themed restaurants to an amazing geyser faithfully shooting water 12-storeys high every hour! The kids will love the totem pole in the lobby, carved with all their favourite Disney characters. In fact, there's endless fun to be had here for everyone, both day and night!

Avoid at all costs. Currently staying here at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge, so far we have had a brown stain on my sheet, the bathroom door I had to fix, the closet door doesn’t close properly, the vinyl plank flooring is lifting and bending, the spare blanket and pillow in the closet smell putrid and had to fix the clothes line in the shower. For the price paid per night for a Disney Deluxe either stay at a different resort or stay off property. I talked to front desk and I had to show them the issues and there only suggestion was to move to a room that would be a downgrade going from a so called water view to a a ground level room in front of the pool and where construction is taking place daily. They claimed that was the only room available but when you check their website they had several room types available for the rest of my stay. My advice stay somewhere else or bring your own tool kit.

We’re currently staying at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge, and I just have to share our experience to warn other families about dangerous pocket doors in bathroom. Only an hour after check-in, my daughter — who turns 5 tomorrow — got hurt by the bathroom pocket door. She opened it, and it slammed shut so fast there was no resistance at all, no soft close mechanism, extremely heavy door! The hardware (lock and handle) jammed her little fingers badly. If she hadn’t pulled away quickly, she could have lost them. There was a lot of blood and tears… I immediately called the front desk. A manager, showed up and offered to have maintenance check the door and to call 911 if needed. Since her fingers didn’t seem broken and she was already shaken up, I declined the ambulance. Manager handed me a card to file a claim — but of course, claims are closed over the weekend, so I can’t even start the process until Monday. Maintenance found nothing wrong with the door just agreed that’s poor design Other than sending up a few band-aids, Disney didn’t follow up, didn’t check on us. I had to call to see the maintenance response. Our evening plans were ruined. Later, when I tried to shower my daughter, two heavy bottles (shampoo and conditioner) fell off the wall and onto her feet, causing even more pain and tears. Maintenance came but said they couldn’t fix it without a special tool that only housekeeping had. We waited even longer for very unfriendly housekeeper to show up and finally secure it properly. This is supposed to be a deluxe property — and so far, all we’ve gotten is frustration and injury, with no real effort to make things right. I feel terrible for my child and terrible knowing that Disney likely won’t fix these door issues. I’ve since found many stories of kids getting their fingers hurt by these same doors mechanism. Clearly, nothing has changed. If you’re traveling with little ones, please be careful Read less

Absolutely STUNNING and immersive resort! The staff (especially housekeeping) was incredibly kind and helpful! The pool, food, and rooms were all wonderful. Slight view (through trees) of Magic Kingdom fireworks, ferry straight to and from MK, and light boat parade at night were all great surprises! We recommend Geyser Point Bar & Grille, especially on a warm night, for a bite to eat or a drink! The pool being open until 11pm was really nice for taking a swim after the parks. *If you are traveling without children and hope to relax on your vacation, I would personally avoid the pool mid-day, since it tends to be very busy and they host pool games for the kids.* The pool area also played the MK firework show music, so you can listen while you see some fireworks through the trees! Our room faced the main pool (which is a view we recommend), but the sliding balcony door was virtually sound proof, which is important to us. A semi-hidden spot we recommend is the covered seating area out by where you get the ferries. They play immersive music, as does most of the property, and I believe they play the firework music there too! We absolutely loved our stay and hope to be back soon! Read less

The Wilderness Lodge is amazing. My husband said it was his favorite thing about our trip (even though we visited 3 parks)!

The Wilderness Lodge is amazing. My husband said it was his favorite thing about our trip (even though we visited 3 parks)! I love the warm pools and the best Bison burger at the Geyser Restaurant, sitting and looking at the lake. We took the ferry boat out for a ride and it happened to be during the fireworks- perfect timing! The food at the Fork restaurant is one of the best we've had in a resort. AND you could take it to your room to enjoy. We could see the electrical light boat parade from our room. Everything was outstanding including the room itself. Very spacious. Read less

This hotel is so well themed that it’s hard to believe that you are not in a National Park. Stayed 5 nights on my 2nd wdw trip. I did an online check in, and gave my arriving hour. Room was ready, was so happy with that. Very comfortable bed,super clean view over the pool. Quiet enough to have a good night sleep. Every cm was so friendly.… Read more
