The Wilderness Lodge has been voted the best resort on
Disney Property and the best themed resort by our visitors.
This resort was inspired by Early American National Parks
Service lodges. The lakeside lodge is an 8 story,
log-structured building. The centerpiece of the
Wilderness Lodge is the main lobby. A massive 82
foot tall, three-sided stone fireplace is surrounded by
rustic-looking, wooden rocking chairs. Four large
tepee chandeliers hang overhead and two 55 foot high totem
poles stand guard at the entrance. The multi-colored
flooring was inspired by Northwest Indian designs.
A bubbling hot spring originates in the lobby and appears
to continue on outside where it is transformed into a
roaring waterfall that "pours" into the swimming
area. Follow the path behind the pool area to a
120 foot geyser that erupts hourly from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.
Other perks of a visit to the Wilderness Lodge
include: boat service to the Magic Kingdom, special
guided tours of the resort, (one that concentrates on
the architecture and landscaping, and the other is a "Tastes
of the Lodge" tour that allows you to sample some
of the culinary delights found in the lodge restaurants),
the Discovery Island Animal show, the Ladybug Release,
the opportunity to be the "Flag Family" (who
participates in the 7 a.m. American flag raising ceremony,
complete with photograph and certificate commemorating
the event) and of course the front row seating on the
boat dock for the "Electrical Water Pageant" that crosses Bay Lake nightly.
INSIDER INFO:
The
grand fireplace in the lobby is a recreation of the strata
of the Grand Canyon.
Over 100 colors in hues of green, magenta, buff,
red, black and brown are visible, as are fossilized remains
of prehistoric plant and animal life.
From the Vishnu Schist to Bass Limestone to Tapeats
Sandstone to the Redwall and Temple Butte Limestone and
finally ending with Kaibab Limestone and Toroweap Formation,
the fireplace represents 2 billion years of the time it
took for the layers of rock to form.
If you would
like a room in a certain location, note it on your reservation
at the time of booking.
Then four or five days prior to your arrival, call
or fax the Room Assignment desk (using the numbers at
the top of the page) to reiterate your requests.
There is no guarantee that all of your requests
will be met, but they will do their best to accommodate
where possible.
Also be sure to list your requests in order of
importance to you.
The geyser has a computer-controlled system that can input
adjustment for wind drift with its specific programming
ability.
