Disney's WILDERNESS LODGE Information & Questions

[DonnerB]

Yep! I pulled it straight off of my reservation on MY Disney Experience which is what is so weird. It suggests the address for Fort Wilderness instead.

Very weird; sorry I don’t have a backup suggestion. Hopefully someone who has been recently can help!

Thanks! Worst case we will use Garden Grocer or Walmart! Appreciate your help

I take it you've never stayed in an OKW one or two bedroom villa. They don't have balconies. They have full sized porches.

Not bigger than the aforementioned other timeshare resorts off-property (Lakeshore reserve and Bonnet Creek).. Big for Disney, yes. Is OKW worth staying? I have never had it on my list of Disney timeshares to try out. Certainly not trying to suggest one is better than the other, but I struggle paying for DVC property (even at rental prices, and especially at owner prices) when I can have so much more offsite. Still staying at AK next visit, and trying to get Bay Lake to immerse the family into Disney and skip some of the transport time, but so much value and size offsite. We all like what we like I suppose.

For some reason when I did a direct copy and paste of the address, it didn't show up. When I typed it in, it auto populated below.

You are very correct, we love that boat ride! Can be chilly, even for a NYer on colder days, but do they still pass the sneaker tree?

The sneaker tree is located between Fort Wilderness and Wilderness Lodge. They aren't running the resort boat right now. That is the boat that would travel between CR,WL and FW and travel past the sneaker tree. I hope they bring that boat back again soon.

They did on our cruise in 2019 Hope they bring them back ‘soon!’

Oh weird! I bet you that's the case for me too! Thank you so much!

Hello! Does anyone out there know the room number of the Boulder Ridge Studio WITHOUT the balcony, just a large window? I believe it’s on the 4th floor. Appreciate your help!

Sneaker tree? I haven't noticed anything that would fit that description.

The sneaker tree is a CM-created tree! Recreation CM’s would throw their old work sneakers in the tree as an homage to the many hours they had spent working on the lake.

Hi everyone! Staying at CCV for the first time this July. How have wait times been at the pools? Has the main pool been filling to capacity in the afternoons? Can you get in the water even if there aren't any more chairs? We normally take afternoon swim breaks and I'm hoping we won't be shut out. Thanks!

we’re here now, I was just at the main pool yesterday around 1-2pm and it was nowhere near full. Weather was good, warm and sunny. But the main lodge is still closed so things will be vastly different come July.

It looks like Copper Creek has a "Deluxe Studio" and a "Deluxe Studio with Walk in Shower", with a disclosure that most studios with no walk in showers are on the 1st floor. Does this mean that ALL the Walk in Showers are on higher floors?
I'm not concerned with the bathroom configuration, but more so with being on the ground floor with the open patio. What is the chance of a "Walk in Shower" being on the ground floor?

How about the 1BR? Are there many of them on the ground floor as well? No shared balconies anywhere, right?

Thank you all!

Definitely a lot of shared balconies. With the metal divider.

The bottom floor is almost all studios with tubs. Im not sure its 100% tubs though. Very few 1 bedrooms on the first floor. There are only 2 and they both are lock offs. So it's possible, depending on the bookings, that there are zero 1 bedrooms on the first floor(available). There is one single dedicated 2 bedroom.

Waist-high dividers? You can clearly see your neighbors if you look over?

No, ceiling to floor with a few inches gap. But its a metal divider separating a single balcony into two.

A 1BR became available this afternoon as I was browsing the WDW site. I really don't want to call in a request. There should be a button for "higher floor" at online check-in, yes?

We are staying at CCV and we have 2 local friends that want to visit. If they drive, can they get through the gate and park at the resort or is that not allowed?

When I asked about this for my sister, the guard at the gate told me that only onsite Guests were being allowed in. We simply added her to our room and that did the trick for us.

I don't know if this is being strictly enforced - others may have a different experience.
