Hi Lorraine,
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel, and thank you for bringing your question to us. Disney’s Wilderness Lodge is one of my favorite resorts; I find the ambience at the resort so beautiful and relaxing, and it provides such a calm counterpoint to the excitement and bustle of the theme parks. I’m so excited for you and hope you love it as much as I do!
Walt Disney World Resort hotel pools do offer life jackets in a variety of sizes; they are complimentary and are usually hanging on racks located on the pool deck. The life jackets are the standard Coast Guard approved/UL devices. I think you are asking about “swimmies,” which I believe you are welcome to
bring from home, as long as they are Coast Guard/UL approved. In my experience, the lifeguards at the Disney resort pools are wonderful, and they will come talk to you if there’s any safety concern.
Lorraine, enjoy your time at
Copper Creek Villas & Cabins at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge. I highly recommend
Whispering Canyon Cafe, which has delicious food and is a really fun place to eat. Make sure to ask for ketchup if you go there!
Wishing you a magical vacation,
Robyn
