Hi Emma, and welcome to planDisney!
Wilderness Lodge is my favorite place to stay during the holiday season, with its majestic Christmas tree and cozy fireplace. So, let’s chat about how to secure this coveted reservation!
We don’t know yet when 2027 vacation packages and room-only reservations will be available to book. In the past, sometimes there was a single date in the spring or summer when you could book vacation packages for the entire following year. But it worked a little differently this year. In April, you could start making reservations for January through October 2026, and earlier this month, you could start booking stays for November and December 2026. I’d recommend keeping an eye on
Disney Parks Blog since there’s often an announcement when next year’s vacation packages are available to book. If November and December aren’t included in that first drop, then keep checking the website in the fall!
And even after you book your stay, don't forget to periodically check the
Special Offers page in case there are any discounts you can apply to your reservation.
When you stay at Wilderness Lodge, one of my favorite things to do is the complimentary Wonders of the Lodge Art & Architecture Tour. It’s a great way to learn more about this special resort, especially when it’s covered in sparkling decorations! The tour will also take you over to the
Boulder Ridge Villas building, which has its own holiday decorations and the
Carolwood Pacific Room, where you’ll find original cars from Walt Disney’s backyard railway! When I was there earlier this year, the tour was offered every day in the morning.
My other must-do is eating dinner at
Geyser Point Bar & Grill with its peaceful waterfront views. It’s also a great spot to watch the
Electrical Water Pageant (check the
My Disney Experience app to see what time it’ll stop by the resort).
I hope you have the best stay ever at Wilderness Lodge during the most magical time of the year! And if you have any other questions, we’d love to have you back at planDisney.
