Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Dock Is Closing Early Next Year For a Refurbishment
Here at MickeyBlog, there are few places we adore more than Disney’s Wilderness Lodge.
Inspired by the beauty of the Pacific Northwest, this resort offers cozy interiors, top-notch amenities, and plenty of rustic charm. Add in its prime location, and it’s easy to see why the resort remains such a fan favorite!

While there is never a bad time to stay at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge, the last 18 months have been a period of change for the resort, with numerous refurbishments underway.
The last time we checked in, work on the resort’s exterior was continuing, and window displays had been added to block the construction.

Now, we’re back with another update!
