Disney's WILDERNESS LODGE Information & Questions

Now that the boat rental has reopened are there Sea Raycers for rent? There were no boat rentals as of our last two stays. Thanks for any input from recent visits.

....it IS a very relaxing spot and you are privy to primo views to watch the Electrical Water Pageant!

I am hoping to finally check it out in November. When we were there in October last year, the bugs were so bad that we escaped inside and just hung out in TL, which we love, but disappointed that we didn't get to try GP.

I'm booked in a standard room (booked in Feb), and put in a request for bunk beds. At the time I put in the request there was only standard and courtyard options. I check in this Wednesday, so we'll see what we get.

Are you there yet? What did you get!

Yes, the boat rentals are back open, and have Sea Raycers and pontoon boats. We did a pontoon for everybody last August, and may do a Sea Raycer this time.

We rented sea racers yesterday and had a great time.

We did not get bunk beds from our standard view request. Maybe because we only had one child, instead of two. We did get 6th floor facing Magic Kingdom, so I guess we could have done worse.

....that's surprising....WDW usually is on top of that....I've personally seen [in the wee hours of the early morn]where the groundskeepers are spraying for mosquitos and other peskies....

It was very strange. It started on the boat over from MK. I noticed all these white bugs. And then they were all along the path towards the pool area. We didn't notice this anywhere else the whole week we were there. It's also not a typical time of year for bugs. I'm hoping it was just an anomaly!

Hi, we are finally headed back to WL soon! I am wondering if anyone has seen our absolute favorite CM Loyda?

Um, who is Loyda, and where is he/she usually stationed?

Need to bump this thread up...WL doesn't belong on pg. 4.

Also doing a happy dance! We were able to rent points and book a week at BRV in a 2 bed Villa for June 4-11, 2019! Can't wait to get back to WL

Congratulations! We will be posting pics here when we are at WL, starting two weeks from tomorrow! Just 14 days, 12 hours, and 24 minutes till we are on our way, but who's counting...

Friday, (next week) for us. 2 nights at WL, then 2 nights at BWI

 

[oceanmarina]

Checking in tomorrow!

 

[Sleepy425]

I can’t get my daytime view to load, but this is from a standard room at WL, 6064. During the day we could watch the monorail coming and going at the Contemporary, and at night we enjoyed the fireworks (couldn’t see the castle, it’s behind the trees. That’s Space Mountain below the firework).

Checking in about 2 weeks!

Has anyone done the hidden Mickey hunt?! How long did it take and was it something kids could help with? I love hidden Mickeys and I feel like this would be a neat way to also check out different parts of the resort.

We have just switched our Resort from Saratoga Springs to a 1 bedroom villa at Boulder Ridge. We are really excited as we have never stayed at Wilderness Lodge before. We have booked direct with Disney and the reservation doesn't say what type of view we will have. I want to put in for our room requests and was wondering what we should put? I would like to be on a higher floor and close to transportation, but not sure what type of views are available. Also with the villas are you able to order room service?

The BRV basically have two sides, Lake/Pool and Woods (kind of faces where park busses are). For our trip next year, we requested upper floor, lake/pool side. If being close to an elevator is important, put that. I've also heard people request close to main building, although close to elevator fro BRV, in my opinion, makes more sense, especially if requesting an upper floor. Make sure to put in order what is important to you. I'd also take a look at the beginning of this thread that has a room map for BRV.
