Disney’s Wilderness Lodge
Disney’s Wilderness Lodge fully reopened a few days ago and with it, we got a chance to check out the newly renovated rooms at the resort! Now, we’re doing an in-depth tour of the new and improved Wilderness-inspired digs!
We stayed the night in one of the more common room types at this resort with two queen beds. Did you know you can get bunk beds at this hotel? No dice for us this time, but our room was newly renovated!

Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms
The first thing you might notice is that the carpeting has been replaced with the faux wood laminate flooring that has become more common around the Disney resorts. It certainly makes for a slightly less cozy, but cleaner-feeling room.

As you enter the room, you’ll spot the thermostat to your right…

…and the standardized lockset on the door. This system lets guests use a traditional room key, a MagicBand, or even their cell phone to access their room!

Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms
Much of the furniture has been replaced in the refurbishment and you’ll spot a new wardrobe piece in the entrance hallway.
![](https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/2021-WDW-Disneys-Wilderness-Lodge-Resort-Renovated-Rooms-Tour-61-700x525.jpg)
Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms
The first part of the wardrobe features two sliding doors that open to a fairly sized closet. It isn’t particularly spacious, but it would be plenty of room for most trips. Plus, there’s an extra pillow, an extra blanket, and a luggage rack stored in there!
![](https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/2021-WDW-Disneys-Wilderness-Lodge-Resort-Renovated-Rooms-Tour-60-700x525.jpg)

And if that closet doesn’t provide enough storage for you, you’ll notice a SIZEABLE cabinet as the next section of this wardrobe furnishing.

The end cap of the wardrobe, closest to the opening up of the room is the countertop and coffee area. The counter holds a Keurig coffee maker and an ice bucket.

You’ll notice the first more Disney nod to the refurbishment in the print with the shelving behind the counter. Yep, that’s Bambi you spot!

Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms
As a note, some rooms at Wilderness Lodge do have connecting doors which is great to know for larger parties.

Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms
And then you step into the greater room where you can see the new bed set up! The first thing that might catch your eye is the accent wall featuring cool-toned woods.

And if you look closely, you might even spot two particularly rambunctious chipmunks tossing an acorn to one another. Hey, Chip ‘n’ Dale!

Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms
The headboards have been reworked with a design that looks a bit like carved wood. Don’t be fooled though! The surface is soft.
![](https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/2021-WDW-Disneys-Wilderness-Lodge-Resort-Renovated-Rooms-Tour-31-700x525.jpg)

Each side of each bed features a reading light that automatically turns on when you pull it from the headboard.

And the light is super focused so you don’t have to bother the other folks in your party if you’re staying up a little later!

Speaking of lights, there are new fixtures in the room that have a rustic feel — perfect for this resort!

Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms
Much of the bulkier furniture has been replaced, including some of the side table surfaces. The center side table is a spacious but functional surface shared between the two beds.
![](https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/2021-WDW-Disneys-Wilderness-Lodge-Resort-Renovated-Rooms-Tour-26-700x525.jpg)

Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms
On each side of the beds, there is a small side table surface with an outlet immediately underneath. These are super cool since they have themed signs. The one on the left side of our room said “Camp…”
![](https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/2021-WDW-Disneys-Wilderness-Lodge-Resort-Renovated-Rooms-Tour-22-700x562.jpg)
Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms
…and the one on the right said “Cabins.” That’s fitting considering we could see many of the Cascade Cabins just outside our window!
![](https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/2021-WDW-Disneys-Wilderness-Lodge-Resort-Renovated-Rooms-Tour-33-700x524.jpg)
Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms
The beds have the clean, all-white sheet look which is different from what we used to see at Wilderness Lodge.
![](https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/2021-WDW-Disneys-Wilderness-Lodge-Resort-Renovated-Rooms-Tour-41-700x525.jpg)

Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms
The room feels more spacious in general due to a smarter use of space with the furnishings across from the bed. Instead of a bulky TV unit, we’re greeted with a flatscreen and a well-themed but not obtrusive dresser.
![](https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/2021-WDW-Disneys-Wilderness-Lodge-Resort-Renovated-Rooms-Tour-51-700x525.jpg)

And, get this, there were COOKIES on the dresser welcoming us to the room!

Above this spot, you’ll see more updated light fixtures and a mirror that looks like it was carved from the center of a massive tree trunk.

There haven’t been too many updates to the balcony. You still get a standard table and two chairs.
![](https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/2021-WDW-Disneys-Wilderness-Lodge-Resort-Renovated-Rooms-Tour-37-700x525.jpg)

The new light pane inspired by geologic shapes might be a big eyecatcher in the main area.

Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms
You’ll notice that the pane is in the same spot on the other side of the wall, in your bathroom. Still, the pane is not translucent and the lights aren’t connected. So, you could have the bathroom pane off and the bedroom pane on.
![](https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/2021-WDW-Disneys-Wilderness-Lodge-Resort-Renovated-Rooms-Tour-19-700x525.jpg)

Whether you're a rookie or a seasoned pro, our insider tips and tricks will have you exploring the parks like never before. So come along with us, and get planning your most magical vacation ever!
What do you think of the renovated rooms? Tell us in the comments!Â
Everything looks great except for those beds! Maybe it’s just me, but I think it’s incredibly sad that they got rid of those intricately carved headboards ðŸ˜. What I really want to know is, where did they all go?? Hopefully not to a big bonfire 🙈
I am curious about all of the newly renovated rooms. I know they all have white sheets but what about covers??? I get chilly at night
I’m so glad I stayed here before Disney’s new trend to “update” their hotel rooms…so blah and sterile; may as well stay at a non Disney resort.
Margaret, our reporter who visited Wilderness Lodge tells me that there’s a spare blanket in the closet.
This used to be my favorite Resort! Wonderful theming Was so magical. But not now! I hate snow white look in all the hotels. Boring. On last visit, (at Pop Century) my autistic son was upset about the boring white sheets with no colorful quilts or duvets. I bought Disney print fleece covers for both beds. Made us all happy!
Did I miss it or is there no microwave at Wilderness Lodge? This is an expensive place to stay & I’d hope they would include a simple microwave! We drive to WDW so we Always bring along a tiny microwave. Such a convenience!
Anne, there’s no microwave in the standard rooms, to my knowledge.
