Refurbishments are a part of life at Walt Disney World. It’s not uncommon for at least one attraction to be closed at any given time. Restaurants, hotels, and other areas of the property also need freshened up for optimal guest enjoyment.

Refurbishments may take place for various reasons. Whether it be for mechanical issues or cosmetic updates, a refurbishment can take place for many reasons. Based on the nature of the work, the refurbishment may be a few days or several months.

Disney’s Wilderness Lodge is a deluxe resort designed to emulate the beautiful Pacific Northwest at the turn of the century. It is heavy on the wood accents and landscaping which helps you forget you are in the middle of Central Florida.

Throughout the resort, there is beautiful decor and architecture like fireplaces, logs, totem poles, and teepees. The serene atmosphere makes it a great hotel to stay at if you want a more quiet and relaxing home base.

There are two DVC options at Wilderness Lodge: Boulder Ridge and Copper Creek.

You can stay in studios, 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, or 3-bedroom villas. Additionally, there are 26 waterfront cabins that are completely separate and in a more secluded area of the resort. Combined, there are less than 200 Copper Creek rooms available, which can make it a hard resort to get into.
