Disney Wilderness Lodge Photo Tour
The grand lobby of Disney Wilderness Lodge
Disney Wilderness Lodge was the first Disney resort in which our family stayed. We had seen photos, but were not prepared. Entering the lobby, we were overwhelmed at the sheer scale. Wandering about, we were further amazed by the detail.

Exterior
Wilderness Lodge does a wonderful job transporting you to the American, mountain west. With the rough-hewn architecture, streams, waterfall, and geysers, if it were not for the humidity, you would not believe that you were in Florida.

Disney Vacation Club
We are DVC (Disney Vacation Club) members. The DVC has its own separate building connected to the main lodge. Whereas the main lodge is massive and impressive, the DVC portion is much more intimate with cozier places to enjoy. The Wilderness Lodge has its fitness room on the DVC ground floor; so you are welcome to look about and relax here even if you are not a DVC member.

Rooms
The rooms, as with all Disney Deluxe Resort rooms, are detailed in the theme of the resort. We stay in the DVC rooms, which tend to be a little less detailed, but are still very nice, and come with a kitchenette. The trundle beds are awesome!

Landscaping
The landscaping of Disney Wilderness Lodge continues the Yellowstone Park, mountain west homage. Disney certainly pays attention to detail.

Love this place! How do you become part of the Disney Vacation Club?
The Disney Vacation Club is the Disney time share system like what Marriot, Westin and others have. You pay quite a bit up front, and then pay dues each year. If you plan to go to the Disney parks fairly frequently, at least once every other year, then it is a good investment and pays off in about 8-10 years. The contract is usually for 35 years. You can save quite a bit in the long run. You also get perks like discounts on park tickets and merchandise. We have a few articles on the DVC. You can buy directly from Disney (more expensive but with better perks) or on the resale market (what we have done). If you are interested, I can send you more details.
