Great resort!! Go on a Hidden Mickey hunt. Clue sheets are available at the front desk. They used to do daily tours which included a trek up the roof - not sure if that is still available or not.

Check out the geyser. Spend time in the lobby. Visit the Carolwood Pacific Room in the Villas. They have one of Walt's trains. It is a relaxing place to visit. It is fun to eat at Whispering Canyon Cafe. Have a great trip!

Watch the Electrical Water Pageant. Enjoy the fireplace and rockers in the lobby. Try the Territory Lodge for a beverage and snack (I recommend the cheese fondue).

Ask if there is an opening during your stay to be the flag family. It's a wonderful experience.

This is hilarious and something you must do if you eat there!
We enjoyed our stay and we hope to stay there again for a future trip to WDW. And BTW, we also went parasailing on Bay Lake (Sammy Duvall's Watersports Centre) and the view of the lodge from the air was incredible!

There are "hidden" areas all around the upper floors towards the entrance of the resort. Leather couches and chairs, some with there own personal fireplaces. Great place to hang out and get away from it all either by yourself...or not. Visit the villas lobby area. Walking/jogging trail to backside of campgrounds, lots of wildlife.

I seem to be the only "morning person" in my family. While at the Wilderness, I love to get up at the crack of dawn, grab a cup of coffee and stroll the grounds. The peaceful solitude is amazing, especially considering you are actually in WDW. You probably won't even see another person. Stroll out to the dock and listen to the lake lapping at the shore. If you're really lucky, a dense fog bank will be drifting in over the lake. What a great way to start the day!

We really enjoy WL, especially all the detail that went into building the resort. Be sure to take the time to stroll around the lodge both inside and out. There are so many things to see and do. I enjoy returning to the lodge each evening either at the bus stop or boat dock, and walk along the dark paths lit by flickering lamp posts. It's just a very relaxing feeling - and pretty cool. The little things seem to really stand out at this resort and make it special.
Have fun at the WL.
