Disney4me Posted June 9, 2021 Report Posted June 9, 2021 If you’re staying at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge soon, you might notice some things have changed about the rooms! 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. Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms As you enter the room, you’ll spot the thermostat to your right… Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms …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. 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! Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms 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. Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms Inside, there’s a standard safe and a steamer in case you need to get wrinkles out of your clothes! Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms 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. Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms 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 You’ll find your coffee supplies in the drawer here… Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms …and a mini-fridge just below. 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 Even the trash can got an update in the renovation! 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. Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms 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. Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms Each side of each bed features a reading light that automatically turns on when you pull it from the headboard. Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms 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! Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms 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. Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms This is where you’ll find your room phone and your remote! Plus, it features new power ports, both traditional outlets and USB ports. 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…” 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! 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. Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms Plus, there’s significant under-bed space for you to stash your luggage. 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. Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms The dresser has the updated ports too. Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms And, get this, there were COOKIES on the dresser welcoming us to the room! Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms The dresser has six drawers… Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms …and each one is pretty spacious. Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms The new seating area features two blue chairs that are fairly comfy and a middle table. Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms Plus, there’s a smaller table nested. You can pull it out if you’re in need of more space! Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms 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. Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms The window has new blackout curtains… Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms …with a design that complements the room well. Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms There haven’t been too many updates to the balcony. You still get a standard table and two chairs. Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms But that’s just fine to enjoy the view! Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms Keep in mind, the balconies are not private but there is a privacy barrier between units. Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms The new light pane inspired by geologic shapes might be a big eyecatcher in the main area. Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms And, plot twist: It’s a LIGHT! 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. Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms The bathroom is tucked behind a large, wood sliding door. This is also where you’ll find a sizeable full-length mirror. Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms The bathroom itself has received a few updates too. There’s a large mirror with lighting along the border… Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms …plus a smaller, magnified mirror. Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms The double vanity has two sinks with lots of available hand towels. Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms And you’ll have access to lotion and facial soap. Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms Under the sink, you’ll find tissues, MORE towels, a hairdryer, and spare tissues, and toilet paper. Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms The toilet and shower room is behind another sliding door. Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms To close the door, you press the small gold button to extend the handle. Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms In here, you’ve got your toilet area… Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms …with a view of a cool totem pole print. Hey, that print looks a LOT like the totem poles in the lobby! Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms The shower and tub have been updated with a wooden backdrop to one side of the shower and sliding glass doors. Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms The showerhead is a waterfall style and there’s a movable smaller showerhead too. Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms On the opposite wall, there’s a ledge for your bath products… Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms …and of course the Disney refillable bath products for your use.
