I think it's because it gets compared to other resorts in the deluxe category, many of which have monorail access and/or the ability to walk to one or more parks. For me that's notable because I just won't do buses. I do love Wilderness Lodge though. There is no place cozier.
Agreed. I find it to have the best transportation. The boat is very regular and much easier to deal with at night than the bus or the monorail. We have also always found the bus service good, although admittedly we drive pretty much everywhere except MK.
Yes, there is a bus over to FW that drops off at the Settlement area (near HDD). It is frequent and only takes about 5 minutes. Definitely don't drive there. Look at the resort activities board, there's a lot of fun (and sometimes free) things happening. Get a drink at Geyser Point and watch the Electrical Water Parade at night, then the MK fireworks (you can see the higher ones). They have a scavenger hunt, you can pick up the paper for it at the FD, and I think they are still doing WL tours certain mornings. It's a great resort, relaxing. Enjoy your stay!

That’s actually my thread
That’s hilarious!!
There is no way (I hope) that they touch the burger - it is one of the best on property.
Love the bison burger!
That is pretty funny! We will be at WL at the end of August and are very much looking forward to it….have a great trip!
God I hope not! Our favorite spot, and burger just about anywhere. (Also love getting it with the Quinoa salad). Going to be there in 12 days for a 2 week stay! Can't wait, and hope nothing changes, lol.
They have the smaller beverage coolers (which they don't recommend for food, but I ignore said warning).
I have often wondered that (can I store food in them?) but never have seen it written down anywhere. How do you know if a resort has a beverage cooler or fridge if they look like dorm fridges?
The beverage coolers have the clear glass doors. We have stored food in them. One hint is to move the beverage cooler slightly forward, away from the back of the cabinet and to keep the cabinet door open when you can. This allows for better airflow to the back of the cooler, and it helps it keep at a slightly cooler temperature.

If it is the solid door, then it is a mini fridge, not a beverage cooler! Still move it slightly out from the back of the cabinet, it will work better.I found a video of the updated BR studios on YouTube they called it a mini fridge, it looks like a mini fridge and has a solid (non-glass) door. Disney website also calls it a “small fridge”. I guess we’ll hope for the best (and supplement with ice buckets if needed
You can purchase inexpensive temperature gauges if you get a beverage cooler and are concerned about how cold it is. USDA says to keep leftovers below 40° F. We keep our refrigerator at 38° F.
