Great running trail and fitness facility, smallrm

Running trail was awesome, great fitness facilities for a hotel, very clean room, nice quick service meal spot, healthy choices, great pool, noisy due to water falls and geiser. Room was small for 4 people, nice bathroom with two sinks. 6th floor balcony was smaller than lower levels.

Great Disney Resort

Pros: We loved the atmosphere and "homey" feeling.
Location: Easy boat access to Magic Kingdom and Fort Wilderness.
We found the Wilderness Lodge to provide a comfortable and quality accommodation for our stay. The staff was very helpful, the facilities were beautiful, and it provided a relaxing atmosphere away from the chaos of the parks. We enjoyed the "quiet pool" and the beautiful lobby/atrium area. We found several nooks and crannies in which to relax and read, as well as the beautiful views from our room and the lobby area. Artist's Point restaurant was really a fine dining experience! The food and service was outstanding.

We arrived very late due to our flight and the hotel was well you're awful late

Cons: poor selection of food
Meals were not conducive to children. Not a good variety of menu options even for adults.

Wilderness Lodge is a great place to stay with kids! Loved it!

Pros: Close restaurants, Free Internet, great theme, great pool, fun family activities
This was our first trip to Disney, and if we went back, I'd stay at the Wilderness Lodge again! There is ferry service to Magic Kingdom, which was convenient, quick, and a nice ride in itself! We caught the fireworks show on our ferry rides a few times, with a beautiful view reflecting off the lake! The Lodge had a fun theme, nightly campfires and movies by the beach, a great pool with a slide and hot tub. The resort's restaurant, the Whispering Canyon Cafe was also a blast, with the waitstaff playing jokes on all the diners. Our kids (ages 6 and 8) begged to go back to the resort from the parks several times so they could swim...great pick!

Wilderness Lodge has become our home away from home whenever we visit Disney!

Pros: Close restaurants, Free Internet, Quiet
Always a great place to stay at Disney. Great theme resort! Just like being at a great north west lodge but with the Disney touch added in.
