Lodge is pretty, rustic feel.

08/23/2021

It reminds me of the historic Glacier National Park lodge in Montana.

08/03/2021

Overall the lodge is a really nice hotel.

07/31/2021

I have to say that alongside Animal Kingdom Lodge, this is my families favorite resort.

03/14/2020

The wilderness lodge has always been one of my favorite places to visit at Disney World, as it's beautifully maintained and it reminiscent of the lodges you might find out west.

07/31/2021

I had requested an early check-in wks earlier and were very excited to get into our room.

07/30/2021

but there was no way to request higher floors in the app which would be a nice add.

07/07/2021

I asked to be moved,

07/02/2021

Trying to get the virtual pass to Star Wars I asked the front desk their advice and they said to turnoff their wifi and use my data and to walk around prop to find the best signal.

06/13/2021

Every time I asked for something, it was met with zero emotion and no effort to please.

08/03/2021

The boat to magic kingdom was very convenient.

02/28/2021

I liken the boat better for transportation than the bus it’s faster bus takes a hour!

12/28/2020

We took the boat ride from Disney’s magic Kingdom over to the Wilderness Lodge for dinner.

11/01/2020

So fast & nice to take a boat into Magic Kingdom, I love everything about this resort.

07/20/2020

Our corner suite faced the boat dock and gave us great views of the ferry boats, water light parade and the water geezer.

03/08/2020

We stayed for 7 nights at the Wilderness Lodge in room 2017, an "upgraded" courtyard facing room with a queen bed and twin bunk beds.

12/10/2019

My kids loved the bunk beds in our room and the adults loved having our own beds since with the connecting room it was basically two in one!

10/07/2019

Upwards of $550 for a full bed and a bunk bed.

09/21/2019

While the theming of this hotel is excellent, we were less than thrilled with the cramped bunk bed room we had.

07/30/2019

I booked early, directly with Disney, and requested a bunk bed room, on the highest floor possible, and close to the lobby.

08/09/2021

If you pay extra for the fireworks view you actually see the smoke house parking lot and the castle in the distance.

08/03/2021

The boat to magic kingdom was very convenient.

07/31/2021

Now I've stayed on Disney property 7 times and every time we've checked in we were met with nice, upbeat happy people.

07/30/2021

This was my second Wilderness Lodge stay and I thank the cast members for redeeming our view of Disney Resorts.

07/28/2021

Kelly at the bar is very personable Kelsey at the front desk was a joy with a contagious personality The rooms in the boulder creek look like something from my grandmothers in the 1970’s Hard to fathom how Disney considers this a deluxe hotel

07/31/2021

This woman was the crankiest, nasty person.

07/16/2021

After making us wait about 15 minutes, we spoke to what seemed to be a manager and he wreaked of cigarette smell.

06/07/2021

You basically got a bun with a nasty looking patty.

12/26/2019

If you smoke there is only one smoke pit from what I saw, just as MK only has the one in the front by the bus entrance.

11/17/2019

.’ the bird poop all over the windows that are you view.

04/28/2021

- Love taking the boat back from Magic Kingdom - Rooms are nicely remodeled and modern.

12/27/2020

We liked riding the boat to the Magic Kingdom.

09/27/2020

Its a short boat ride away,

07/26/2020

The main issue we had with our stay was the boat transportation to magic kingdom.

07/21/2020

Wilderness Lodge also offers a boat to get to the Magic Kingdom, in addition to a bus.

05/06/2021

A pull out couch with a huge TV in the living area.

09/27/2020

My oldest daughter slept on the pullout couch in the living area.

02/04/2020

The two bedroom with kitchen and living area is very nice.

03/19/2019

The living area was very nice.

10/07/2018

The living area included a dining table that can easily sit six people.

02/09/2021

I went to the front desk and asked for a higher floor with a view of the main pool area.

07/21/2020

but it was a little disappointing to have neither of our requests met.

12/25/2019

While I had requested some kind of discount as we weren't able to fully enjoy the cabin, that didn't happen.

12/18/2019

So I rang them and asked them to allocate it.

10/17/2019

We always room request a high floor and this is the only resort both times where the request wasn’t met.

05/15/2021

We booked a studio for a brief resort-only stay prior to a week at Ormond Beach.

04/28/2021

Stayed in a 1 bedroom villa on our last trip; we previously stayed in a deluxe studio in Sep 2020 so both stays were covid-era with the associated restrictions and precautions.

02/20/2021

We stayed in a deluxe studio (#1166 I think) that was close to the pool and the patio/balcony faced Geyer Point.

01/19/2020

We stayed in a DVC studio.

07/27/2019

Thinking that if would be a great experience to be able to walk out directly into the beautiful lobby (which we have seen several times), or at the very least have a nice view of nature, we booked a Copper Creek Deluxe Studio DVC room.

04/20/2021

It reminded me a little of Grand Californian at Disneyland in that it was a pricey room for a relatively small space.

02/09/2021

This was the most money we’ve ever paid for a room with the worst view.

07/21/2020

The best they would do was allow us to rebook and use the DVC points by the end of July, and if we were not able to do so, we would essentially lose all of the money we had paid.

02/04/2020

You pay for what you get, it will eat up your DVC points or cost $2,200 per night or more.

11/27/2019

Overall if you want a deluxe resort at WDW , look no further than copper creek at wilderness lodge , you won’t be disappointed, it’s not as expensive as the other big three magic Kingdom resorts , and in our opinion is even better than each of them

05/15/2021

We ate at Geyser Point and Roaring Fork, lounged at the Boulder Ridge Pool, and made the gift shop rounds at the Lodge, Polynesian, and Grand Floridian one day after lunch at Kona Cafe.

09/27/2020

Copper Creek/Wilderness Lodge was comparable to Animal Kingdom Lodge in terms of rooms and theming.

07/21/2020

Most of these are located in the main lodge building off of the lobby, except in the case of Geyser Point, which is outside in an open-air covered building by the lake.

03/12/2020

We have stayed in The Lodge and Boulder Ridge area.

02/12/2020

Cabin 8009 to the left of the Boat landing, and near a shortcut to the Lodge.

04/01/2021

We had arrived to the lodge after staying at a Marriott timeshare in Palm Beach which was has down so much better including the mattress in the pull out couch.

08/24/2020

Boulder Ridge is a brilliant rendition and representation of National Park lodges and natural scenic areas in the western United States.

10/13/2019

We didn't use the main pool, only the Boulder Ridge pool and the splash pad at the main lodge.

08/14/2019

The Lodge was decorated for Christmas and the Thanksgiving dinner was out of this world!

02/10/2019

We had a great view of the new pool area and the main lodge.

02/04/2020

Urine smell overwhelming and obvious.

10/07/2019

it was a very busy week and did not pursue the front desk, we just figured we'd ride it out and hopefully not be bothered by mold smells.

03/26/2019

The smell that hits you when you enter Boulder Ridge Villas is one I’ll never forget-it’s awesome.

12/31/2018

Butt there's a difference between worn out and keeping to the theme.

12/11/2018

The water throughout the resort stunk really bad, even more than usual.

05/18/2021

Feels like you are staying in a forest, yet so close to Disney.

04/01/2021

The only pro was the proximity to Magic Kingdom.

01/15/2019

The best part of this hotel is the close proximity to the Magic Kingdom which you can travel to via boat from a dock out the back of the hotel, it is such a lovely, relaxing way to travel and means you can then access the monorail to get to Epcot as well.

01/08/2019

After much time researching we chose this resort for its closeness to Magic Kingdom and the ability of alternate transportation.

08/06/2018

Beautiful main lobby, close to magic kingdom ( best by boat).

08/22/2021

Geyser Point is fabulous, boat to MK is so convenient.

05/18/2021

Boat to MK just as fast.

03/13/2021

The boat to magic kingdom was so convenient and a nice way to start and end your day.

01/27/2021

We loved the restaurants and the quick boat ride over to Magic Kingdom.

08/24/2020

Boats can be taken from the resort to the Magic a Kingdom!

06/17/2021

Boulder Ridge Villas is immediately adjacent to the main building and very convenient to Disney transportation, the restaurants and shop.

05/18/2021

Cast members who operates the transport from WL were amazing and went above and beyond.

02/02/2021

I love that it’s located on the water and we took advantage of the water transportation to MK and watched the water pageant.

12/28/2019

Make sure you enquire about transportation options to get a good feel of the resort.

12/12/2019

I only shortcoming of the resort is the rather less efficient bus transportation to other areas of Walt Disney World outside of the Magic Kingdom Resort Area.

02/03/2020

We got back from AK and dinner at Animal Kingdom Lodge, late and night, and called Bell Services.

12/17/2019

In the past I have stayed at ASM, Wilderness Lodge, and AoA.

11/19/2019

We used the food court for breakfast on most mornings and were well pleased - the eggs, bacon and potatoes at Pop taste just like the same at Wilderness Lodge.

04/04/2019

I have stayed at many Disneyworld resorts including Polynesian, Grand Floridian, Port Orleans Riverside, Yacht Club, Animal Kindom Lodge Jambo House, Caribbean Beach, just to name a few.

12/15/2018

On checkout we needed our luggage transferred to the Wilderness Lodge and they were happy to accommodate.

09/18/2021

They didn’t show any sign they had been there,

09/01/2021

The theming with giant flowers that shoot water and images of dancing hippies with the neon colors is so fun.

07/23/2021

The price is a value if the Magic Express is included (free ride to/from airport) and then you don't have to waste your money on rentals and parking fees.

07/10/2021

Having our Magic Bands on our wrist at checkin while at the airport is how you begin your WDW experience.

07/05/2021

But, if I had to pick between Pop and Art again, I would definitely go with Art of Animation.

09/18/2021

The walls are so thin I was kept awake because of our neighbor’s snoring - all night long for the first couple of nights.

09/13/2021

How can they not hear us?

09/05/2021

Our only real negative was the fact that you can hear through the room walls quite easily so if you are trying to enjoy a good sleep and some family in the next room is being super loud you will hear every word.

08/15/2021

We were on the 4th floor and we did not notice noise from our neighbors unless they were outside of the entry door.

08/10/2021

I would not get this room again just for the noise issue.

07/21/2021

The rooms have been recently remodeled and are nice.

07/06/2021

The hotel is well maintained, spotless and the recently renovated rooms were compact

06/30/2021

Stayed here right before the pandemic got bad and the food was absolutely wonderful rooms have been updated since I have gone last and overall really wonderful stay highly recommend.

04/14/2021

Rooms had been updated since our last visit and had a nice Mickey Mouse theme.

04/05/2021

I was pleasantly surprised to see the room was renovated and clean.

07/10/2021

Beds are very comfortable, there is a small closet, and some drawers to use.

07/06/2021

Nice bathroom layout with lots of storage, and comfortable beds, including the murphy bed.

06/20/2021

We utilized the murphy bed and it was very comfortable.

04/19/2021

Bed comfy.

04/04/2021

Beds were comfortable and easy to sleep in after a long day of walking through magic kingdom, LOL!

06/20/2021

It was so cool to see animals from the balcony!

04/02/2020

And yes, we saw daily Giraffes, Zebras, Gazelles from our balcony.

02/17/2020

Many of them right from our balcony.

02/15/2020

I wiped the balcony table one day when I spilled coffee on it and it was revolting.

02/10/2020

We saw all kinds of animals during our stay; it was fun to sit outside on the balcony even at night and spot animals.

02/10/2020

Thank you to all the staff for making the stop in so pleasant - we had more fun in the hour at Animal Kingdom Lodge then in two hours at a park.

11/04/2019

Animal Kingdom Lodge - Jambo House is our favorite marathon hotel in Walt Disney World.

10/12/2019

The lodge is beautiful and the smell is my fav part.

05/03/2019

After a lot of research, we chose Animal Kingdom Lodge as our home base for our second family trip to Disney.

04/27/2019

Animal kingdom lodge is one of the best hotels I have ever stayed at if not the best.

01/12/2021

but paying full price right now isn't the best thing.

03/12/2020

They need to up the service with the deluxe hotel prices.

02/17/2020

Expensive, yes.

01/31/2020

It's expensive to stay here,

08/25/2019

but very expensive.

07/14/2021

N/A

03/16/2020

Only thing I wish was different was their standard rooms or deluxe studios being changed to accommodate families of 5.

01/31/2020

We all enjoyed our stay in a Savannah view studio.

10/20/2019

We had a standard deluxe studio with a partial savanna view.

10/12/2019

We booked a Studio Villa via a DVC rental company and rented points for a 9 night stay.

09/29/2021

With pushing from family, my husband and I chose to travel to Disney World for our 50th anniversary.

03/28/2021

Thanks again Disney!

05/02/2020

Had dinner at the Jiko restaurant and this highly recommended, if you are on a Disney Dining Package.

04/02/2020

Although Disney is chaotic at the best of time, we loved coming back to our room at the end of a busy day.

03/16/2020

but still experience the magic of Disney this is the place for you.

08/31/2019

Charge for Valet parking is $33 a day.

07/07/2019

My one hang up about this place is that for the amount they charge you would expect there to be very smooth transactions throughout.

04/23/2019

We had to return to front desk multiple times because credit card was not put in correctly and magic bands failed to work on payments at hotel for other reasons.

02/19/2019

There were giraffes and and zebra and wildebeasts and a quirky pelican type guy we nickname "The General" as he seemed to be in charge!

08/25/2018

but tried out the Minnie Van (additional charge) to get to Typhoon Lagoon.

01/18/2021

I booked an 11 night stay in a Savannah view studio, looking for some quiet time on the balcony watching the animals.

11/28/2020

We always appreciate the mini-kitchen in the studio rooms, which is where we always stay since we are gone 90% of the time and do not utilize a 1/2 bedroom.

09/05/2020

Room was a studio with Savannah view.

02/17/2020

We were lucky enough to get a deal for a fall stay in a savanna view studio room.

02/10/2020

had a savanna view studio room.

01/09/2021

The large connected balcony was a great place for us all to gather and hang out.

03/15/2020

Standard plugs were loose fitting with our blocks connected.

03/09/2020

The way Disney has everything connected through our Wrist bands was excellent.

07/28/2019

This is a vacation club resort, connected to Jambo house, a deluxe resort.

02/07/2021

Loved our week stay at the Animal Kingdom Lodge Kadani Village.

01/18/2021

The large gift shop at the AK Lodge was closed when I was there.

10/30/2020

The Kidani lodge is awesome!

10/10/2020

We love this resort and are DVC vacation owners at Animal Kingdom Lodge.

10/04/2020

My wife, family and I spent a week at the Kidani village at Animal Kingdom lodge.

09/05/2021

We are not DVC owners, so we got housekeeping every other day.

04/28/2021

They wouldn't clean our rooms, messed up on our rooms and our now holding our money and won't give it back to us.

02/07/2021

Felt really safe given the pandemic times; our room was not cleaned during the 6 days we were there they only came by to replace towels and take trash half way through our stay. .

01/31/2021

N/A

07/26/2020

Tried contacting front desk and housekeeping several times and neither picked up the phone, tried calling from my cellphone as well

08/19/2021

It is a 20+ minutes bus ride to Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studios and Disney Springs.

08/01/2021

Drive over or ride the bus and watch the animals for free.

10/29/2019

Second, this resort is approximately a 20 minute bus ride to Magic Kingdom and approximately 15 minutes to Hollywood Studios/Epcot.

04/07/2019

You have to go to the other building for quick serve and that involves a bus ride.

08/09/2021

The Market inside the Yacht Club is convenient,

08/03/2021

While we had a comfortable stay, the rooms would definitely benefit from a bit of 'sprucing', and as such I think we will look at staying at the Yacht club next time, as I believe the rooms have been refurbed.

03/04/2020

We found the quick service food options better at the Yacht, which is a 2 min walk through the resort.

02/19/2020

Compared to the amazing refurbishment done on the Yacht Club this is poor.

02/19/2020

We have Club level room booked for Yacht club in summer if we won’t find good deal for GF.

08/03/2021

Without doubt, one of the huge drawing points of this resort is its proximity to both Epcot and Hollywood studios, both of which are in walking distance (I think you can also get a boat to HS,

01/28/2021

It is a beautiful hotel with nice grounds and conveniently located within walking distance of the the Epcot theme park.

07/20/2020

It is easy walking distance to Epcot, The BoardWalk and a short boat ride to Hollywood Studios.

03/06/2020

The food was great, and it was walking distance from Epcot and the Boardwalk I highly recommend staying here and I definitely want to go back one day

02/10/2020

We are so glad we choose the Beach Club as it's proximity to Epcot is 5 mins.!

09/07/2021

Our only negatives came from the utterly ridiculous prices at the “Marketplace” in the adjacent hotel.

08/10/2021

The rack rate was about $500 per night.

08/09/2021

The Cabana fee is charged to your credit card immediately upon booking, not the day you use it.

08/05/2021

They do have a 25$ per night parking fee.

07/23/2021

Also if you cancel a reservation within 24 hours you will be charged a hefty fee of $10 per person.

02/19/2020

This resort will be compared to our previous stays in Grand Florudian, Contemporary, wilderness and animal kingdom lodge.

01/07/2020

N/A

12/02/2019

I have stayed at Animal Kingdom, Grand Floridian, The Polynesian, The Contemporary, Wilderness Lodge and Fort Wilderness.

10/19/2019

We also took Lyft to Wilderness Lodge and Grand Floridian for a couple dinners.

06/08/2019

Once my family has the opportunity to visit the clubs at the Animal kingdom Lodge and the Boardwalk, we will update this review to include all Disney Deluxe Resorts.

08/03/2021

Without doubt, one of the huge drawing points of this resort is its proximity to both Epcot and Hollywood studios, both of which are in walking distance (I think you can also get a boat to HS,

06/26/2021

The location is ideal, with a short walk to Epcot, the Boardwalk, and the boat dock for Hollywood Studios.

06/21/2021

The boat is located right out back!

07/20/2020

It is easy walking distance to Epcot, The BoardWalk and a short boat ride to Hollywood Studios.

03/03/2020

Boats were also frequent to take you to the Studios which was good after a long day in the parks.

09/21/2021

I would recommend getting a golf cart to get arround on site.

08/19/2021

We were a golf cart drive to the Meadows pool

08/15/2021

We highly enjoyed the quiet pool and renting the golf cart to drive around and go looping the check out all the other different RVs and everything.

07/09/2021

We rented a golf cart which was perfect so we could drive around the campground and explore.

07/03/2021

We rented the golf cart again to help us get around easier (highly recommend - call in advance for reservations since they had no walk up ones available when we arrived).

02/01/2021

Our cabin was in the middle of the area.. so it would take a 5 minute walk to the bus stop.

11/26/2020

Also, you must stop at every bus stop if the bus is stopped in both directions and the site roads are one-way.

10/20/2020

Bus stops are available throughout and there are also buses to the Disney Parks,

07/04/2020

Also had plenty of sanitizer stations throughout resort and at bus stops and snack bars and front desk area.

02/22/2020

We went to bus stop. Waited.

02/01/2021

She asked how many days we would be there and what credit card I would like to charge this to.

11/10/2020

I only dock one star here due to the spotty WiFi (which they were actively addressing and trying to fix) and the lack of more modern amenities within the cabin like USB charging plugs.

02/22/2020

By the time you add in taxes and the charge to park your own car on the pad outside your cabin, we were close to $600 a night.

02/19/2020

I wished they had a broom and dustpan in our room, we declined house keeping in exchange for a 50$ credit, so we asked for house keeping to bring us a few items like more towels, blankets and dish washer detergent.

01/20/2020

I got charged $20 per night to park my rental SUV in the driveway of my cabin.

01/25/2020

We have a family group of 10, and have stayed at many Disney resorts, with Wilderness Lodge and the Polynesian being our favorites.

01/22/2020

We had a great time this vacation, and staying in a cabin at the fort wilderness lodge was so much fun.

10/30/2018

Easy to get the boat to the contemporary and wilderness lodge too.

08/04/2018

We always stay on property, Animal Kingdom Lodge and Copper Creek Villas are our favorites.

05/04/2018

Boat rides to Magic Kingdom, Wilderness Lodge resort, Contemporary resort, so it is easy to get onto travel links to the other parks.

07/09/2021

The bedroom has a queen size bed and bunk bed.

04/14/2021

The cabins have a queen bed, two bunk beds and a pull out Queen bed sofa.

04/07/2021

Kids loved the bunk beds.

01/24/2021

We shared the one bedroom with queen and bunk beds with our 12 yr-old.

11/10/2020

The beds were comfortable and my daughter loved the bunk bed, switching between the top of bottom bunk on different nights.

08/19/2021

But like every thing at Disney, it will cost you.

07/06/2021

For the same price, we got a room at Four Seasons that has a 24/7 store with food and 24/7 room service plus 3 restaurants.

06/21/2021

but it was very pricey.

05/28/2021

It cannot work both ways- particularly if we are paying regular prices!

05/19/2021

To park our car at our cabin, we had to pay $20 a night.

05/29/2021

We stayed at Bay Hill to get the opportunity to play the Golf COurse.

01/27/2021

Stayed here with friends to play some golf.

03/31/2019

We both played some pretty good golf too.

07/24/2018

If you are going to play golf at Bay Hill, the lodge is a must stay place.

01/22/2018

The golf course itself was a joy to play and the forecaddie very helpful.

07/11/2019

The peace and serenity of the Lodge itself makes it a perfect romantic stay for a long weekend.

07/02/2019

There is only 70 rooms at this Lodge

05/27/2019

The lodge is filled with Arnie memorabilia and his presence is still felt and kept alive in the lodge.

03/31/2019

The lodge, staff, facilities, bar, and dining were first class.

07/24/2018

If you are going to play golf at Bay Hill, the lodge is a must stay place.

03/09/2020

I began my round at 5:00 pm in the heart of winter, hoping to complete 9,

02/13/2019

The pool area was nice to use after our round of golf.

03/16/2018

I would like to have known when I booked my trip that I would have to take a forecaddie, he was excellent and helped the enjoyment of the round

09/08/2020

( prior to our Swan stay we have stayed at the Polynesian, Wilderness Lodge, and the Animal Kingdom Lodge with our extended family- this trip was just the two of us).

Our comparison was having stayed at the Wilderness Lodge and it was WONDERFUL back in 2006!

04/28/2019

The pool was so much better than animal kingdom lodge pool.

02/18/2019

We spent one night at this resort after spending 2 nights at a Marriott and 2 nights at Wilderness Lodge.

08/19/2018

We just returned from a long stay at 3 properties - 1 night at Wilderness Lodge, 7 nights at the Swan, 1 night at the Beach Club.

In one week stay they charge $35 a day resort fee yet only clean your room once.

09/24/2021

Given the premium you are paying to stay at a hotel on Disney property (even

09/10/2021

They said they would pay, we will see if they do.

09/06/2021

With the high rental car prices, we decided to stay on Disney property for the first time.

07/04/2021

The Swan/Dolphin are located ideally, within a short walking distance to Epcot International Gateway and Hollywood Studios.

06/25/2021

The hotel is located within walking distance to Epcot and Hollywood studios.

05/08/2021

It is easily walkable to Epcot and to Hollywood studios, both are probably a 10-15 minute walk from start to finish.

05/05/2021

The only reason - only reason - to stay there is the proximity to Epcot and Hollywood Studios.

04/24/2021

The primary reason we chose this hotel was the proximity to Epcot and Hollywood Studios and it did not disappoint!

09/10/2021

When I got the bill they doubled charged the resort fee.

08/16/2021

Never did the representative let me know there was a charge for this.

08/11/2021

A $50 charge per extra person over 2 people per night make sure you don't get fooled by the cheaper rates The biggest difference from Disney properties is the transportation.

07/28/2021

but I have higher expectations for a hotel charging over $300 / night.

you have people with low credit lines and high, people travelling on business and leisure, rich and poor , saying the same negative things.

It was an easy walk to Epcot and The Boardwalk which are very close by.

02/09/2021

We enjoyed being near the Boardwalk as there are several dining and snack options.

02/11/2020

The proximity to the Boardwalk and Epcot is another bonus.

01/26/2020

Hotel is located within walking distance to Epcot, and near the boardwalk that has dinning and entertainment options.

11/27/2019

Disney's 'The Boardwalk' was in walking distance or you could take the river ferry.

09/24/2021

The Swan (and the sister property Walt Disney World Dolphin) are within a 15-20 minute walk of Epcot and Hollywood Studios and also offer boat service to these two parks, so it is very convenient if your Disney World plans are focused on these two parks.

09/16/2021

For Epcot and Hollywood Studio, the boat took us to the entrance to Epcot.

09/06/2021

This location is great with easy access to Epcot and Hollywood Studios - we used the boat transportation instead of walking.

08/11/2021

The boat to Animal kingdom is convenient.

07/04/2021

The leisurely boat ride was an additional attraction.
