Disney Wilderness Lodge and Villa - Must-See Features when Resort Hopping at Walt Disney World
Don't Miss These Must-See Places and Activities at Disney's Wilderness Lodge
1. On your Resort Hopping Tour, come and take a look at the theme of Disney's Wilderness Lodge. Guests will note that Walt Disney World was inspired from the early 1900s in creating the Wilderness Lodge and Villas, giving hints of Native American Cultures. The Lobby and Resort itself, have authentic decor and genuine artifacts of the ancient North American tribes.
2. While at Disney's Wilderness Lodge make sure that you just take in the lobby itself. The lobby is a breath-taking 7-stories in height and is made out of beautiful Lodgepole Pine. Just the design of the lobby and building makes this building a must-see.
3. While in the lobby at Walt Disney World Wilderness Lodge, you can't miss the amazing 82-foot tall fireplace. This fireplace is open in three different directions and is the perfect place to warm up with a hot mug of cocoa in the winter months or to curl up with a book and have some time away from everything else around you.
4. The number one must-see at Wildereness Lodge and Villas is the Old Faithful Geyser, a replica of the Geyser by the same name at Yellowstone National Park. The Geyser shoots water 120-feet into the air every hour on the hour from 8am - 10pm each day.
5. A favourite place to sit and relax, or to even get some classic photos is at the Carolwood Pacific Railroad Room, a quiet sitting room that is featured in the villas at Disney Wilderness Lodge. This room is dedicated to Walt Disney's love for trains and the railroad, it is a replica of a hotel built for railroad workers who helped construct the Transcontinental Railroad. The Carolwood Pacific Railroad room is a mini-museum devoted to Walt's love of the railroads.
6. Take a walk around the grounds of Walt Disney World Wilderness Lodge and take in the beauty of the cypress trees that surround the Lodge. The surroundings will have you fooled, thinking that you are somewhere far away from Florida.
7. For the children, ask at Guest Services for a list of the Wilderness Lodge's Hidden Mickey's.
