WELCOME HOME
The Wilderness Lodge and Villas are nestled in a dense forest of pines on Bay Lake, accessible by waterway from the Magic Kingdom. The Lodge and Villas were inspired by the U.S. National Park lodges built in the 1900s.
Wilderness Lodge and the Villas offer varying accommodations, ranging from 350-1072 sq. feet. The Lodge houses 728 guest rooms and suites, with some encircling the cavernous lobby but most in the two wings. The cozy Lodge rooms are outfitted with pine furniture and quilted bedspreads. Most Lodge rooms have two queen beds, but some offer a bunk bed in place of the second bed. The Villas feature 136 studios, one-and two-bedroom suites, each with a kitchenette or full kitchen, VCR, and washer and dryer.

Fort Wilderness and Wilderness Lodge share many of their bus routes, so travel to and from Fort Wilderness is quite convenient.*
Boats:

The Photos above are of a Red Flag Motor Launch and the Red Flag Motor Cruiser that run between the Wilderness Lodge and the Magic Kingdom. (*NOTE the sizes of the two types of boats.)
Photo by MassJester
As many know there are two separate boat routes that serve Wilderness Lodge:
The Blue Flag Resort Boats Run continuously between the three resorts (Wilderness Lodge, Contemporary Resort and Ft. Wilderness Campground) there are at lest two of these smaller boats that run during the day. Always check with the boat Capitan as to which resort the boat will be headed for next, in the am they travel clockwise WL, CR, Ft Wilderness at 3:00pm they reverse the route to counter clockwise WL, Ft. Wilderness, CR. The operating hours are 6:45am-11:30pm (Times & Schedulles are subject to change)
The smaller Blue Flag Motor Launches Resort Boats holds appx 39 guest are open to the elements and require a guest to transfer from wheelchairs to the boat with a step down. (strollers also need to be folded) The Motor Launch boats are unable to load ECV's.
Red Flag Resort Boats hours of operation are from 1/2 hour before park opens until 1 1/2 hours after park closing.
The operating times that are posted: Means 1/2 half hour before the opening time of the Magic Kingdom, rather it's EMH (morning) or regular scheduled hours. The boats also continue to run 1 1/2 hour after the Magic Kingdom closes rather regular closing time, EMH (evening) MNSSHP, MVMCP or Pirate & Princess Party.
The Red Flag Boats operate between The Wilderness Lodge and Magic Kingdom only. There are two boats that run between the Lodge and MK continuously, on the day I took the new route we had one large Motor Cruisers and one smaller Motor Launches serving the Wilderness Lodge with FWC having two larger Motor Cruisers.
The larger Red Flag Motor Cruisers Boats Holds appx 120 guest. Guest traveling in wheelchairs or ECV's have access without transferring from chairs and strollers may also be left open and rolled directly on board. Note:These larger Motor Cruisers will be able to load wheelchairs/ECV's, there is a Warning posted on the dock that states that due to water levels access to wheelchairs /ECV's may not be able to load. (thus the Direct Bus access between Wilderness Lodge and the Magic Kingdom) In over twelve years of visiting Wilderness Lodge I have never seen anyone in a wheelchair or ECV ever not be able to board, the boats are enclosed.
**Please note that if the Red Flag Boat being used is a Motor Launch the same boarding restrictions will apply for strollers or wheelchairs. They require a guest to transfer from wheelchairs to the boat with a step down. (strollers also need to be folded) The Motor Launch boats are unable to load ECV's.
Bus:
Photo by DizneyNutz
Because everyone seems to question the Bus Service @ Wilderness Lodge Im going to attempt to post my experiences during my many stays at the Lodge:
Magic Kingdom/Ft Wilderness Campground Buses:
This bus stop shares buses that travel to the Magic Kingdom (Direct route to and from Magic Kingdom) and a second bus that travels to Ft Wilderness Campground this bus goes to the Settlement Depot. (Pioneer Hall/Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue Show) You may ask the driver which location they are going to before boarding.
*Note: The Direct Bus runs between Wilderness Lodge and the Magic Kingdom until after the Magic Kingdom closes then reverts back to the old route to TTC so depending on when your trip is and when the MK closes this could be another option to travel from the Monorail Resorts to or from Wilderness Lodge after normal park hours.
Magic Kingdom: Disney Bus service begins approximately 1 hour prior to the park opening time listed for that day. If it's EMH the time will adjust to 1 hour before also.
Disney's Hollywood Studio Bus:
This bus arrives @ The Wilderness Lodge first, and then travels to Ft. Wilderness Campground the Settlement Depot. Using this back route the bus doesnt travel to the front of the Campground (Pioneer Hall/Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue Show) this extra stop only takes a few minutes.
Returning from DHS the bus travels directly to The Wilderness Lodge then continues to Settlement Depot.
Disney's Hollywood Studios: Disney Bus service begins approximately 1 hour prior to the park opening time listed for that day.
EPCOT Bus:
This bus arrives @ The Wilderness Lodge first, and then travels via Vista Blvd. to Outpost Depot at the front entrance of Ft. Wilderness Campground for guest staying at the campgrounds. This may take up to an additional 10 min.
Returning from EPCOT the bus travels directly to The Wilderness Lodge then continues back to the Outpost Depot.
Epcot: Disney Bus service begins approximately 1 hour prior to the park opening time listed for that day.
Animal Kingdom/Blizzard Beach Bus:
This bus arrives @ Wilderness Lodge first, then travels via Seven Seas Drive to the Grand Floridian to board guest, then travels to Blizzard Beach then Animal Kingdom.
Returning from Animal Kingdom the bus stops first @ Blizzard Beach for guest returning to the resorts. Then goes on to Wilderness Lodge followed by the Grand Floridian.
Animal Kingdom: Disney Bus service begins approximately 1 hour prior to the park opening time listed for that day.
Blizzard Beach: Bus service will begin 1 hour prior to the park opening time listed for that day.
Downtown Disney/Typhoon Lagoon:
This bus arrives @ Wilderness Lodge first, and then travels via Vista Blvd. to Outpost Depot at the front entrance of Ft. Wilderness Campground for guest staying at the campgrounds. This may take up to an additional 10 min. the bus then proceeds to DTDs Marketplace, Pleasure Island, West Side then Typhoon Lagoon.
Of all the buses this route always takes the longest wait & travel time. This route has to travel in areas with heavy traffic that is off property at times, so please keep this in mind when you take it. I have also heard that this route may also not go to Ft. Wilderness but shares with the Grand Floridian.
Downtown Disney Marketplace/Pleasure Island/West Side: DTD buses start running at approximately 8:30am. This is a combined bus stop located at Downtown Disney/Pleasure Island. The bus driver will announce the latest bus return time.
Typhoon Lagoon: Bus service will begin 1 hour prior to the park opening time listed for that day.
*NOTE: With Disneys On Demand Service Bus Service the routes may change at anytime, during Peak and Off Peak Seasons the routes may also be changed. The above routes I have posted are the routes that have been used on 99% of my visits to the Wilderness Lodge and The Villas @ Wilderness Lodge. I have also encountered new bus drivers that have taken creative liberties with the routes and correct order of each location.
Character Breakfasts Service will begin ½ hour before the earliest seating. The marquee on the bus will read "Character Breakfast." It should be noted that guests should verify with the driver which park the bus is going to for the character breakfast because there are different ones for different parks. They have the flexibility to allow direct transportation to the theme parks, and area resorts.
If you want to arrive early to any park you could catch a Character Breakfast bus going to the Park but unless you have a ADR or other scheduled event you will have to wait until the Park opens to gain access.
Please take note that all times are subject to change. If you have questions regarding transportation within WDW you should contact Guest Services for additional information.
Think of the bus ride as an adventure your children will.

All Deluxe Guest Rooms feature woodland views, but may also have a view of Bay Lake or the Inner Courtyard.
The deluxe rooms are located through out the Lodge and the views vary, they are considered non view specific. Meaning you don't pay any more for a view you may have, because your paying for the room class not a view. The standard club level rooms are also non view specific which means you may only request a view or room location.
So the location of one of these rooms will be up to the room assigner, if you would like a specific room location you should have the request added to your room reservation. Remember a request isn't a guarantee so you may receive any of the rooms.
example:
Request room located at the end of the North Wing.
Request room Located at the end of the South Wing.
Request room located half way down South Wing near elevators.
There are no deluxe rooms located on the 7th floor, you will have access to the 7th floor via your room key.

orignally posted by HumphreytheBearThere are actually 25 "Deluxe Rooms" (Junior Suites) They are 1000, 1003, 1166, 1169, 2000, 2003, 2123, 2166, 2169, 3000, 3003, 3123, 3166, 3169, 4000, 4003, 4123, 4166, 4169, 5000, 5003, 5123, 5166, 5169 and 6123.
All of these rooms do offer a connecting option that would be a room with 2 queen beds or a room with one king bed that is either woods or courtyard view. Rooms X000 are the rooms in the North wing that are at the very end of the hall on the left corner, Contemporary side they are Lake/tree view, X003 are the 2 doors down on the right corner with a pool/lake/tree view rooms X123 are halfway down the south wing in the left corner overlooking the pool/lake/geyser.

Rooms 2123, 3123, 1166, 1169, 2166, and 2169 have "dormer balconies, due to the design of the building these rooms have brick on the balcony railing so you can not see out unless you are standing up (if you sit you see brick), just FYI.

The Legend of Humphrey Bear and his MAGICAL NOSE.
Humphrey is located in the Lobby and is the Mascot (an animal, person, or thing adopted by a group as its representative symbol and supposed to bring good luck) of The Wilderness Lodge and the Wilderness Lodge Vet's Legend is that if you rub Humphreys Nose at the start of or during your visit to WDW you will be favored with PIXIE DUST and you will have a MAGICAL STAY.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON HUMPHREY AND WHY HE IS IN OUR HEARTS:
One our most loved VETS was a sweet gentleman named Roy Car aka FloridaCat he loved Humphrey and always posted to rub his noise so the Magic could begin. We vets also make sure to say "Hi" to Roy our dear friend when we all visit by rubbing Humph's nose.
This Wilderness Lodge FAQ Thread is dedicated to Roy Carr and his Memory because he was very instrumental in making this and the previous 5 WL FAQ threads the great threads they have all been. He posted weather reports for the WDW area every morning as he lived very near the world. He was our Wild Wacky Wonderful WL Weatherman the title was even bestowed to him by the DIS-Tag Fairy.
Y'all come on back and see us real soon!

Boats:

The Photos above are of a Red Flag Motor Launch and the Red Flag Motor Cruiser that run between the Wilderness Lodge and the Magic Kingdom. (*NOTE the sizes of the two types of boats.)
Photo by MassJester
As many know there are two separate boat routes that serve Wilderness Lodge:
The Blue Flag Resort Boats Run continuously between the three resorts (Wilderness Lodge, Contemporary Resort and Ft. Wilderness Campground) there are at lest two of these smaller boats that run during the day. Always check with the boat Capitan as to which resort the boat will be headed for next, in the am they travel clockwise WL, CR, Ft Wilderness at 3:00pm they reverse the route to counter clockwise WL, Ft. Wilderness, CR. The operating hours are 6:45am-11:30pm (Times & Schedulles are subject to change)
The smaller Blue Flag Motor Launches Resort Boats holds appx 39 guest are open to the elements and require a guest to transfer from wheelchairs to the boat with a step down. (strollers also need to be folded) The Motor Launch boats are unable to load ECV's.
Red Flag Resort Boats hours of operation are from 1/2 hour before park opens until 1 1/2 hours after park closing.
The operating times that are posted: Means 1/2 half hour before the opening time of the Magic Kingdom, rather it's EMH (morning) or regular scheduled hours. The boats also continue to run 1 1/2 hour after the Magic Kingdom closes rather regular closing time, EMH (evening) MNSSHP, MVMCP or Pirate & Princess Party.
The Red Flag Boats operate between The Wilderness Lodge and Magic Kingdom only. There are two boats that run between the Lodge and MK continuously, on the day I took the new route we had one large Motor Cruisers and one smaller Motor Launches serving the Wilderness Lodge with FWC having two larger Motor Cruisers.
The larger Red Flag Motor Cruisers Boats Holds appx 120 guest. Guest traveling in wheelchairs or ECV's have access without transferring from chairs and strollers may also be left open and rolled directly on board. Note:These larger Motor Cruisers will be able to load wheelchairs/ECV's, there is a Warning posted on the dock that states that due to water levels access to wheelchairs /ECV's may not be able to load. (thus the Direct Bus access between Wilderness Lodge and the Magic Kingdom) In over twelve years of visiting Wilderness Lodge I have never seen anyone in a wheelchair or ECV ever not be able to board, the boats are enclosed.
**Please note that if the Red Flag Boat being used is a Motor Launch the same boarding restrictions will apply for strollers or wheelchairs. They require a guest to transfer from wheelchairs to the boat with a step down. (strollers also need to be folded) The Motor Launch boats are unable to load ECV's.
Bus:
Photo by DizneyNutz
Because everyone seems to question the Bus Service @ Wilderness Lodge Im going to attempt to post my experiences during my many stays at the Lodge:
Magic Kingdom/Ft Wilderness Campground Buses:
This bus stop shares buses that travel to the Magic Kingdom (Direct route to and from Magic Kingdom) and a second bus that travels to Ft Wilderness Campground this bus goes to the Settlement Depot. (Pioneer Hall/Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue Show) You may ask the driver which location they are going to before boarding.
*Note: The Direct Bus runs between Wilderness Lodge and the Magic Kingdom until after the Magic Kingdom closes then reverts back to the old route to TTC so depending on when your trip is and when the MK closes this could be another option to travel from the Monorail Resorts to or from Wilderness Lodge after normal park hours.
Magic Kingdom: Disney Bus service begins approximately 1 hour prior to the park opening time listed for that day. If it's EMH the time will adjust to 1 hour before also.
Disney's Hollywood Studio Bus:
This bus arrives @ The Wilderness Lodge first, and then travels to Ft. Wilderness Campground the Settlement Depot. Using this back route the bus doesnt travel to the front of the Campground (Pioneer Hall/Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue Show) this extra stop only takes a few minutes.
Returning from DHS the bus travels directly to The Wilderness Lodge then continues to Settlement Depot.
Disney's Hollywood Studios: Disney Bus service begins approximately 1 hour prior to the park opening time listed for that day.
EPCOT Bus:
This bus arrives @ The Wilderness Lodge first, and then travels via Vista Blvd. to Outpost Depot at the front entrance of Ft. Wilderness Campground for guest staying at the campgrounds. This may take up to an additional 10 min.
Returning from EPCOT the bus travels directly to The Wilderness Lodge then continues back to the Outpost Depot.
Epcot: Disney Bus service begins approximately 1 hour prior to the park opening time listed for that day.
Animal Kingdom/Blizzard Beach Bus:
This bus arrives @ Wilderness Lodge first, then travels via Seven Seas Drive to the Grand Floridian to board guest, then travels to Blizzard Beach then Animal Kingdom.
Returning from Animal Kingdom the bus stops first @ Blizzard Beach for guest returning to the resorts. Then goes on to Wilderness Lodge followed by the Grand Floridian.
Animal Kingdom: Disney Bus service begins approximately 1 hour prior to the park opening time listed for that day.
Blizzard Beach: Bus service will begin 1 hour prior to the park opening time listed for that day.
Downtown Disney/Typhoon Lagoon:
This bus arrives @ Wilderness Lodge first, and then travels via Vista Blvd. to Outpost Depot at the front entrance of Ft. Wilderness Campground for guest staying at the campgrounds. This may take up to an additional 10 min. the bus then proceeds to DTDs Marketplace, Pleasure Island, West Side then Typhoon Lagoon.
Of all the buses this route always takes the longest wait & travel time. This route has to travel in areas with heavy traffic that is off property at times, so please keep this in mind when you take it. I have also heard that this route may also not go to Ft. Wilderness but shares with the Grand Floridian.
Downtown Disney Marketplace/Pleasure Island/West Side: DTD buses start running at approximately 8:30am. This is a combined bus stop located at Downtown Disney/Pleasure Island. The bus driver will announce the latest bus return time.
Typhoon Lagoon: Bus service will begin 1 hour prior to the park opening time listed for that day.
*NOTE: With Disneys On Demand Service Bus Service the routes may change at anytime, during Peak and Off Peak Seasons the routes may also be changed. The above routes I have posted are the routes that have been used on 99% of my visits to the Wilderness Lodge and The Villas @ Wilderness Lodge. I have also encountered new bus drivers that have taken creative liberties with the routes and correct order of each location.
Character Breakfasts Service will begin ½ hour before the earliest seating. The marquee on the bus will read "Character Breakfast." It should be noted that guests should verify with the driver which park the bus is going to for the character breakfast because there are different ones for different parks. They have the flexibility to allow direct transportation to the theme parks, and area resorts.
If you want to arrive early to any park you could catch a Character Breakfast bus going to the Park but unless you have a ADR or other scheduled event you will have to wait until the Park opens to gain access.
Please take note that all times are subject to change. If you have questions regarding transportation within WDW you should contact Guest Services for additional information.
Think of the bus ride as an adventure your children will.

About 37 Lodge rooms with King beds double as the barrier-free (handicap-accessible) rooms and have a large shower with no tub.
* Note there are more then 37 rooms with King size beds, So yes there are regular King size bed rooms with full baths.
STANDARD ROOM-TWO QUEEN BEDS (sleeps 4) Guest Room amenities include:
In-room wall safe, voice mail, hair dryer, iron/ironing board, coffeemaker and refrigerator.
Pak-n-Play Cribs available upon request.
Please note that a Standard Room either Regular or Club Level is not necessarily Standard View Room. ie All Standard View Rooms, Woods View Rooms & Courtyard View Rooms are also a Standard Rooms.
There are basically three rooms categories at Wilderness Lodge.
1.) Standard Room (sleeps 4 adults + one infant under the age of 3)
2.) Deluxe room (Sleeps 6 adults + one infant under the age of 3)
3.) Suites (occupancy depends on which Suite you have book please very with IPO)
DELUXE-TWO QUEEN BEDS & ONE SOFA BED
The Deluxe rooms have now been upgraded to Club Level (Concierge) they sleeps 6. The Deluxe Guest Room has a sitting area separated from the bedroom by French doors, additional television, refrigerator with ice machine, coffeemaker, and wet bar. All Deluxe Guest Rooms feature woodland views, but may also have a view of Bay Lake or the Inner Courtyard.
The deluxe rooms are located through out the Lodge and the views vary, they are considered non view specific. Meaning you don't pay any more for a view you may have, because your paying for the room class not a view. The standard club level rooms are also non view specific which means you may only request a view or room location.
So the location of one of these rooms will be up to the room assigner, if you would like a specific room location you should have the request added to your room reservation. Remember a request isn't a guarantee so you may receive any of the rooms.
example:
Request room located at the end of the North Wing.
Request room Located at the end of the South Wing.
Request room located half way down South Wing near elevators.
There are no deluxe rooms located on the 7th floor, you will have access to the 7th floor via your room key.
I found the following information posted by a Wilderness Lodge expert (trust me this poster knows The Wilderness Lodge and the Villas) adding it to our information as it's very informative.
orignally posted by HumphreytheBearThere are actually 25 "Deluxe Rooms" (Junior Suites) They are 1000, 1003, 1166, 1169, 2000, 2003, 2123, 2166, 2169, 3000, 3003, 3123, 3166, 3169, 4000, 4003, 4123, 4166, 4169, 5000, 5003, 5123, 5166, 5169 and 6123.
All of these rooms do offer a connecting option that would be a room with 2 queen beds or a room with one king bed that is either woods or courtyard view. Rooms X000 are the rooms in the North wing that are at the very end of the hall on the left corner, Contemporary side they are Lake/tree view, X003 are the 2 doors down on the right corner with a pool/lake/tree view rooms X123 are halfway down the south wing in the left corner overlooking the pool/lake/geyser. Room X166 is the room at the far end of the south wing on the left corner with a lake view and rooms X169 are 2 doors down on the right corner also with a lake view. Rooms 2123, 3123, 1166, 1169, 2166, and 2169 have "dormer balconies, due to the design of the building these rooms have brick on the balcony railing so you can not see out unless you are standing up (if you sit you see brick), just FYI.

The Legend of Humphrey Bear and his MAGICAL NOSE.
Humphrey is located in the Lobby and is the Mascot (an animal, person, or thing adopted by a group as its representative symbol and supposed to bring good luck) of The Wilderness Lodge and the Wilderness Lodge Vet's Legend is that if you rub Humphreys Nose at the start of or during your visit to WDW you will be favored with PIXIE DUST and you will have a MAGICAL STAY.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON HUMPHREY AND WHY HE IS IN OUR HEARTS:
One our most loved VETS was a sweet gentleman named Roy Car aka FloridaCat he loved Humphrey and always posted to rub his noise so the Magic could begin. We vets also make sure to say "Hi" to Roy our dear friend when we all visit by rubbing Humph's nose.
This Wilderness Lodge FAQ Thread is dedicated to Roy Carr and his Memory because he was very instrumental in making this and the previous 5 WL FAQ threads the great threads they have all been. He posted weather reports for the WDW area every morning as he lived very near the world. He was our Wild Wacky Wonderful WL Weatherman the title was even bestowed to him by the DIS-Tag Fairy.
Y'all come on back and see us real soon!
