Hi, Angi! Welcome to planDisney.
You are in for such a treat!
Disney's Wilderness Lodge is truly one of the most breathtaking resorts on property. Having lived in the Pacific Northwest for part of my life, this hotel has all the vibes that I know and love. From the moment you drive up to the towering timber-and-stone entrance, you'll feel like you’ve stepped into a grand national park lodge. The soaring lobby with its cozy fireplace, bubbling spring, and rustic charm is the perfect place to unwind and soak in the Disney details. It’s a resort that feels both adventurous and peaceful, which makes it a fantastic choice for your stay. On a scale of 1-10, how excited are you? 11, I bet!
As for your arrival, you'll be happy to know that the
parking lot and front desk at Disney Resort hotels are open 24 hours a day. That means if you arrive between 1:00 AM and 2:00 AM on your check-in day, you'll have no trouble accessing the parking lot. You can head inside to the front desk to complete check-in, and once your room is ready, you'll be able to settle in. Until then, you’re more than welcome to relax in the lobby, which is open all night. Many Guests find it a great spot to rest, enjoy the peaceful atmosphere, and start soaking up that Disney magic even before heading to their room.
Bell Services will gladly store your luggage for you, Angi. That way, you can have a nap on one of the comfy chairs in the lobby, explore the resort, enjoy breakfast at
Roaring Fork when it opens, or even head out to the parks bright and early without worrying about your bags.
Disney’s Wilderness Lodge is the perfect blend of Disney storytelling and natural beauty, and arriving early just gives you more time to enjoy it. I'm a tiny bit jealous... but mostly happy for you. Have a great trip, Angi!
