I’m going to take you on a tour of my personal favorite Disney World hotel room that I cannot get enough of.

Wilderness Lodge
I do not feel that Disney’s Wilderness Lodge gets enough love when Disney fans talk about hotels. I love the dining options here, the proximity to Magic Kingdom, and the overall vibe. You feel like you’re in the woods at a nice retreat, but really you’re in the Disney bubble. My favorite hotel room is here, and I’m giving you the full tour.
I recently stayed in the 1-bedroom villa at Copper Creek at Wilderness Lodge. This was not my family’s first time staying here and honestly, it won’t be our last. We traveled as a party of 3 including our toddler, which is to say we were looking for a larger room and we were not disappointed with the space.

The Lobby at Wilderness Lodge
When you use your phone or MagicBand to unlock your villa, you’ll find a full-size kitchen. It includes a microwave, oven, stove top, dishwasher, and full-size refrigerator. You also have some small appliances like a coffee pot and toaster. As well as plates, cups, bowls, utensils, pots and pans, and silverware.

Kitchen
They even give you soap, sponges, and dish towels to wash your dishes while staying here. The cabinets offer plenty of storage for any food and drinks you bring with you or even have delivered to the hotel. This is a great option if you are looking to make your own meals while on your trip.

Next is a large dining room table that seats 6. It’s a great place to share a meal together from Roaring Fork or even play a board game like my family did. While every party might not need the table, it’s a great place to even use to put your park bags.

Living Room and Dining Area
The living room area comes with a pullout couch, coffee table, end table, TV, and a sitting chair. This is where if you are traveling with larger parties, you can use the pullout couch to sleep 2. The pullout was not as comfortable as a bed, but for kids, it’s a good option.

This next perk is what sells it for us every time… the laundry in the unit. That’s right, you get a washer, dryer, and laundry detergent. This is so helpful when you are traveling with a large party or staying on vacation for a long time.

Laundry
There is one bathroom in the villa but it’s broken up into two sections. The first includes a sink, toilet, and a shower.

Bathroom
The shower is large and has the shampoo, conditioner, and body wash attached inside. The bathroom is stocked with towels.

Shower
There is a bathtub that has jets in the bottom. You can relax in this after a long day of walking in the parks. Word of warning — it is LOUD when it runs. There is also a sink in this area as well. The two sections of the bathroom are divided with a pocket door allowing for privacy.

Bathtub
The bedroom has a king bed with storage space underneath which is perfect for storing suitcases or extra shoes. Both side tables have USB ports and outlets and a cabinet for even more storage.

Bedroom
You can find a wardrobe for hanging clothes as well as a dresser under the TV. There is a TON of storage in this room — perfect for large traveling parties.

The King bed
There is a balcony accessible from the living room and bedroom. Our view overlooked the middle of the resort which was very peaceful.

View from Balcony
The resort pipes in the music for Happily Ever After and the Electrical Water Pageant on Bay Lake. Our view was obstructed from actually seeing those, but you could get a different view.

Views
If you are traveling with a large party, for a longer period of time, or just want extra space on your Disney vacation, this could be the right room for you. You don’t have to own Disney Vacation Club in order to stay here. You can book this room directly through Disney or you could rent DVC points through a website like David’s Vacation Club Rentals.

Wilderness Lodge is amazing. Our first on-property WDW hotel stay was at the Wilderness Lodge in 1997, my parents were with us, and it was magical. We became so enamored of the Wilderness Lodge that we purchased a DVC Membership at the Boardwalk during that week. The music piped in then was the theme music to Last of the Mohicans. It fit the setting perfectly. Wilderness Lodge will always be special in our hearts. This is back when Disney knew, understood, and cared about theming and “the little things” that can complete the entire experience. Walt said that Guests can feel excellence, and Walt was right about that too.
Just a heads up that the jetted tubs may not be as clean as the one have a home. Mousekeeping does not have the time, and probably not the two step cleaner, needed for a jetted tub. Not complaining about Mousekeeping, they just don’t have the time. We bring cleaner from home. You can also buy it online if you know you will be using the tub.
Oh, please don’t advertise this hotel. I used to be able to get a room here for around $300 but now I go on and can’t find one for under 4 or 5 hundred a night ???I don’t want it to get worse ? Love this hotel, makes me feel serene.
Just stayed here for 5 days and it was so awesome. 5 days is not enough. It needs minimum 1 week. Can’t wait to come back. The ambience and feel is like no other. Just as good as AKL but closer to the parks and on a lake which is great to get on a boat and go explore.
I haven’t been able to afford to stay there and I’m a Passholder.
