    Getting from Wilderness Lodge to International Gateway

    I’m heading to WDW with my husband and one-year-old in early March and am looking for a (somewhat) simple way to get from Wilderness Lodge to International Gateway in order to rope drop Remy’s during early entry at Epcot. My first thought was to reserve an Uber carseat, but I was blown away by...

    Wilderness Lodge in December

    I have my heart set on staying at the Wilderness Lodge - Boulder Ridge - next year early December (4th-9th). How difficult is it to book a 1-bedroom villa at the DVC 7-month booking window? I understand it won’t be *easy* but is it totally impossible? I own at RR and VGF so have to wait until...

    Wilderness Lodge Boat to Contemporary Resort?

    I've seen mixed things about the boats being back at the Wilderness, but can't figure out if the boat stops at the Contemporary Resort. I know the other option is to take the boat or bus to magic kingdom and monorail to Contemporary. Has anyone been able to take the boats now that they are back?

    Campgrounds transport to Wilderness Lodge

    First time Campgrounds visitors here. Seeing lots of conflicting info about transport from the Campgrounds to Wilderness Lodge. Is there still a walking trail? How about a bus connecting the two? Pre-COVID the MK boat was a three stop loop between MK, Campgrounds and Wilderness Lodge - still the...

    Which is your favorite?? Beach Club Villas or Boulder Ridge Villas?

    Trying to decide between the two for a quick Fall trip. Heard nightmares about recent transportation issues from Wilderness Lodge area, so maybe leaning towards BCV, but heard those were being refurbished through Fall. Anyone have strong favorites between the two?

    Trying to plan our MK time after dinner, and I don't want to overbook LL or anything. We have 4pm Storybook Dining reservations. How long does the meal take on average? 90 minutes? 2 hours?

    Disneyworld Hotel Tips After Going 10 Years

    Wilderness lodge/copper creek possibly open at end of year? Any luck?

    Hi everyone! We have a Disney trip scheduled December 30-January 6. Our room is currently at the wilderness lodge, courtyard view. There are 4 (2 adults 2 kids) and one still naps so a larger room would be helpful. My preference (in order) would be either a deluxe room on the concierge, or a...

    Wilderness Lodge Pool?

    How does the pool at Wilderness Lodge compare to the Caribbean Beach Resort pool? Do they do organized afternoon activities like they do at CBR the kiddos loved that a few years ago where they did dance games, limbo, crafts, trivia, etc every afternoon. And if you are staying at Boulder Ridge...

    Wilderness Lodge vs CBR

    Hi We've only been to Disney World once 3 years ago when kiddos were 7 & 9. They're now 10 & 12. Stayed at CBR and we loved it we went about a month after the skyliner opened and we were in Jamaica a stones throw from it so that was perfect! We would hit the parks in the am, pool from 1-5 then...

    Artist Point Reopening?

    Has anyone heard any news about opening dates for Artist Point at Wilderness Lodge? I haven't seen anyone ask this question before, and am beginning to wonder if I missed an announcement stating it was going to be closed indefinitely. I hope that's not the case. My family had a great experience...

    Just Back From Copper Creek/Polynesian/Grand Floridian/Animal Kingdom Lodge

    I posted a trip report on the DVC trip report boards but I thought posting my impressions of all the resorts I just stayed at during covid here would be relevant for you guys that are being moved from your original hotel bookings to DVC resorts. I just got back from a 2 week trip as a first...
