UPDATED JUNE 2024. Here at Get Away Today we love exploring all Walt Disney World has to offer. From four headlining theme parks, two splash-tastic water parks, an entertainment district and more than 25 Walt Disney World Resort hotels, we have done it all!

In this review we’re taking a closer look at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge. You won’t believe you’re just a short boat ride away from all the bustle of the theme parks when you get your first picturesque view of Wilderness Lodge.

The Deluxe property brings to life America’s rugged beauty, patterned after famed National Parks like Yellowstone, Yosemite and Sequoia.

Although sections of this resort are part of the DVC (Disney Vacation Club) collection we are able to secure rooms for you without the hassle of a membership or renting points. Get Away Today can book rooms at:

• Disney’s Wilderness Lodge
• Copper Creek Villas & Cabins at Disney's Wilderness Lodge
• Boulder Ridge Villas at Disney's Wilderness Lodge

Each of these are located on the main Wilderness Lodge property and share amenities like swimming pools, waterslides and outdoor recreation.

A note from Disney:

Beginning July 13, 2024, horseback riding will be temporarily unavailable Monday through Friday at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground, due to construction. However, rides may be available on Saturdays and Sundays during this time.

For a stay at this rejuvenating retreat we recommend staying at least 5 nights, with 4-day Park Hopper tickets.

If you have less time, we recommend considering a Park Hopper ticket so you can still experience all four parks.
