Welcome to planDisney, Erin! I am so excited that you have chosen to stay at my "home away from home",
Disney's Wilderness Lodge Resort. My family always enjoys our time there, you will be blown away by the gorgeous lobby (that smells of pine!) and the gorgeous stone fireplace that is to the left of the check-in area. Make sure to take time to view the Geyser at the end of the pool, and get a bite to eat (or cocktail) at
Geyser Point Bar & Grill in the evening during the
Electrical Water Pageant!
Erin, one of Wilderness Lodge's best features is the close proximity to Disney's Magic Kingdom Park. The boat transportation is our preferred method to get to Magic Kingdom, and it makes walking to the Monorail or ferry to the monorail resorts easier. You can take the boat from Wilderness Lodge to Disney's Contemporary Resort, and for Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, you can either walk to the monorail, or walk the path from Magic Kingdom to the resort. It is a beautiful, scenic walk, and it's fun to take in the sights from a different point of view!
Erin, have the most magical visit to Walt Disney World!
