Disney World Resort Hotels : Villas at Disney's Wilderness Lodge


Disney World Resort Hotels




Villas at Disney's Wilderness Lodge
901 W Timberland Dr, Lake Buena Vista, FL, 32830 United States

I do not know if it's because I like everything about cabins and rustic wood style, but I fell in love with the place. Since you enter the lobby, the ceiling height with its columns of trunks of wood, you feel like a dwarf in the cabin of Daniel Boone, the environment, the rooms and furnishings are in harmony with the area, has built many log details animals and all the hotel invites you to explore and admire. Perhaps the pool is nothing impressive, but until then seemed to us, too bad it was cold. The room was very clean, spacious and as I said the ideal setting, we loved it. The only bad thing was the back because I wanted to go.

Just returned from a 4 day stay at the Wilderness Lodge Villas, April 4-7. The resort itself is very beautiful....we all know Disney doesn't miss a detail. The staff that I interacted with were very friendly and went out of their way to help. The villas is a separate building from the main lodge but an easy walk under a covered walkway. The resort is large so depending on where your room is, you can end up having a longer walk to the main lobby/pool area...just a note in case some of your family members have any health issues...make sure you request a room closer to the main area if that may be an issue. The Roaring Forks cafeteria is pretty basic really....a few salads, sandwiches and the basic hamburger, pizza etc. It doesn't have the choices that the moderates/values cafeterias do at all...in fact, I haven't found a deluxe/DVC resort that does. We never encountered any issues with the transportation ... both the buses and ferry were very prompt. Overall, we had a great time at the Wilderness Lodge and wouldn't hesitate to come back at all.

This was our first time staying on property and it was awesome. We rented a villa so we could have a kitchen/laundry and do meals in, pack cooler for the day at the park, etc. It went off without a hitch. We love the lodge and our villa was in close proximity to the bus depot (which I requested and they granted). I think my only negative about the property is that the kitchen and some of the furnishings seem outdated- even my 5 year old said something about it. We will definitely stay here again!

We stayed 2 nights in the Wilderness Lodge Villas in the middle of our Disney vacation (stayed in a regular room at another Disney resort for the rest of the vacation). The lobby was beautiful with totem poles, a huge fireplace, and the beginning of a stream that led outside on to a river with a waterfall out in the pool area. It was spectacular! The villas had their own pool and jacuzzi aside from the main pool for the main part of the Wilderness Lodge. In the common area in the villas building, there were a few fireplaces with comfy chairs and tables with checkers and chess to play. We had a 1 bedroom villa that had a jacuzzi tub and sink in a separate part of the room inside the bedroom, plus a separate bathroom with a large shower. The kitchen was fully stocked and included a stove, dishwasher and fridge. Our toaster would not pop up by itself, and maintenance brought us a new one right away after we burnt some bagels by mistake. The washer and dryer was very convenient to have in the room. I will definitely consider this resort again if I am booking a villa. The proximity to the Magic Kingdom was awesome too!
