Rustic Christmas Cheer at Wilderness Lodge
Central Floridia may not be your idea of a rustic family Christmas but that is truly what you will find at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge. Rustic Christmas Cheer will welcome you at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge.
Holiday Magic
Wilderness Lodge is located in close to Magic Kingdom and features a Pacific Northwest theme. The resort is beautiful all year round but is especially magical during the holiday season.
Accomodations
Wilderness Lodge has several room and building categories. Wilderness Lodge is a Deluxe Resort and home to two Disney Vacation Club villa properties.
The Disney Vacation Club villas located at Wilderness Lodge Resort are Copper Creek and Boulder Ridge Villas. Copper Creek Villas are located in the main hotel building and Boulder Ridge is located in a separate building next door. The Boulder Ridge villas have their own pool but guests can access both facilities at the resort.
Copper Creek has deluxe studios, one bedroom, two bedroom, and three-bedroom villas. Copper Creek is also home to the beautiful waterfront Cabins. Boulder Ridge offers deluxe studios, one bedroom, and two-bedroom villas.
The Copper Creek deluxe studios sleep 4 guests while Boulder Ridge studios can sleep 5. The one-bedroom villas sleep 4 at both resorts. Two-bedroom villas sleep 8-9 guests. The Copper Creek Cabins sleep 8 and the 3-bedroom grand villa sleeps 12.
The Wilderness Lodge hotel rooms just received a renovation this year. The rooms at Wilderness Lodge offer standard, nature, courtyard, and nature fireworks view. Club level is also offered at this resort. Most rooms at Wilderness Lodge sleep 4 guests but the Deluxe Club level room can sleep 6.
Lobby at Christmas
Wilderness Lodge has one of the most striking lobbies on all of Disney property. The lobby during the Christmas season is simply stunning. Christmas charm and cheer are plentiful in the Wilderness Lodge lobby.
Although Boulder Ridge does not have its own lobby the main entrance to the building is also well decorated at Christmas. Both lobbies have hallways open to the main lobby with beautiful garland and lights draped on the banisters.
The main lobby also features a stream that leads outside and into the pool area. A beautiful bridge walks guests over the stream and Christmas garland drapes the bridge.
The signature Wilderness Lodge fireplace is a great place to cozy up during the winter season. Rocking chairs make the space inviting for guests. Although Florida does not get as chilly as some locations during winter, there are still nights that a cozy book by the fireplace is just what tired Disney feet need.
Grounds
Wandering the Wilderness Lodge ground to escape some of the holiday crowds is the perfect way to unwind during your holiday trip. Many of the rooms offer beautiful views of the grounds. Some balconies provide views of the Electrical Water Pageant and the Firerock Geyser.
Wilderness Lodge is a great place to explore on a cool evening. Guests can also explore the common areas of Boulder Ridge villas. The Wilderness Lodge is also a quick and relaxing boat ride away from the Magic Kingdom.
Dining
Wilderness Lodge offers two table service restaurants and two quick service restaurants.
My favorite character dining on property, Storybook Dining at Artist Point will be returning this holiday season at Wilderness Lodge. Guests can interact with Snow White, the Evil Queen, Grumpy, and Dopey at this dining location. Storybook Dining is only open for dinner.
Whispering Canyon Cafe is also a popular table service restaurant serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It serves all you can eat skillets. Whispering Canyon Cafe is known for its crazy antics, if don’t believe me, ask for ketchup during your meal.
Geyser Point Bar and Grill serves some of the best quick service food on property. The restaurant provides lake views to guests in a covered outdoor patio. Geyser point is open for lunch, dinner, and bar service.
Roaring Fork is the second quick service location at Wilderness Lodge. Roaring Fork serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It also provides mobile ordering for a quick bite to eat.
