Quick Look:

Layout: Wilderness Lodge is located on Bay Lake in the Magic Kingdom Resort area.   View the map herefor a better look!

Rooms: Like most other Deluxe resorts there are room levels from standard to club level concierge here.  Rooms here have a feeling of a cabin in the Pacific Northwest, as the rest of the resort does.

Shopping: You can get all necessities and some logo merchandise at the store in the many lobby and there is also usually a pin trading cart nearby

Recreation: Arcade, Watercraft rental, Biking, Fitness Center, and the Cub’s Den Kid’s Program

Pools: The Geyer Pool looks like it may have been carved directly out of a canyon in one of our national parks, there is a quiet pool in the DVC area and both pool areas have whirlpools nearby

DVC: The Villas at Wilderness Lodge offer the standard DVC room choices of studio as well as 1-3 bedroom villas.  The enjoy the same rustic Native American theming.

Tips: Being that Wilderness Lodge is one of the deluxe resorts without direct transportation to a park (like the monorail or Epcot Resort area deluxes) it tends to run on the less expensive deluxe side as far as cost
