Hi Lori, welcome to planDisney. I'm excited that you'll be at one of my favorite Disney resort hotels in just two weeks!
While
Boulder Ridge Villas doesn’t have room service from Roaring Fork (or any of the other Wilderness Lodge eateries),
mobile ordering can help you get food quickly! There are two mobile order options—
Roaring Fork and, my favorite,
Geyser Point Bar & Grill To Go. The Bison Bacon Cheeseburger there is one of my top burgers at Disney World!
On your arrival day, use the
My Disney Experience app to place a mobile order ahead of time. In the app, search for the eatery you want and select Begin Order. Choose a time slot closest to when you expect to arrive. From there you can look through the menu and place your order.
Your mobile order details will appear on the home screen of the My Disney Experience app (you can also access your current mobile orders by pressing the icon with the three lines in the lower right corner of the app and selecting Order Food).
Once you’re within your mobile order arrival window, press “I'm Here, Prepare My Order” to let the Cast Members know to start working on your food. You can always change the arrival window, or even cancel for a refund, if you’re running early or late.
If you want to grab something really fast,
Wilderness Lodge Mercantile usually has basic groceries like yogurt, milk, cereal, fruit, and some frozen foods like pizza. Sometimes my nephew needs a snack to hold him over until our mobile order is ready!
I absolutely love the cozy feel of Boulder Ridge Villas. And, if your family likes trains, don’t miss the
Carolwood Pacific Room off of the Boulder Ridge Villa lobby. Dedicated to Walt Disney’s backyard railroad, you’ll find photos of Walt and even original cars from his miniature railway!
There’s also a Wonders of the Lodge Art & Architecture Tour that talks more about the stories behind that room. It ran 9:00am daily when I was there last month, but stop by the front desk for the latest schedule and meeting location.
I hope you have smooth travels to Disney World and that you avoid any rumbly in anyone's tumbly!
JoAnna
