Inviting all nature lovers to come and escape to the rustic splendor of America’s Great Northwest. Inspired by turn-of-the-century National Park lodges, Disney’s Wilderness Lodge celebrates American craftsmanship and history and pays tribute to the beauty of the natural and untamed wilderness. Themed as a resort from the national parks of the Northwest (think Yellowstone National Park), Disney’s Wilderness Lodge is both welcoming and breathtaking.
Soak in the magnificence of the great outdoors, from nature trails through pine forests to rocking chairs overlooking a babbling creek. Inside, you’ll discover towering totem poles, headdresses, and more. Enjoy the simple elegance and charm of the stone hearth and a crackling fireplace.
Dining
Storybook Dining at Artist's Point (Table Service)
Dine with Snow White, Dopey, and Grumpy every evening in a rustic setting inspired by Disney’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs! Be transported to the Enchanted Forest and enjoy a meal fit for a prince or princess. The sumptuous dinner offers a choice of individual entrées or shared starters and desserts. This is one of my favorite character meals on the property!!
Whispering Canyon (Table Service)
Rustle up the family for a hearty Western dining experience with all-you-care-to-enjoy skillets and shenanigans! This eatery offers rustic charm, colorfully named Cast Members who have a reputation for sassing customers, and mouth-watering chuck wagon favorites.
Roaring Fork (Quick Service)
Roaring Fork is the resort’s quick-service option, but it includes much more than traditional hamburgers and chicken fingers. It offers up delicious comfort food in a rustic, cozy environment.
Geyser Point Grill & Bar
(Quick Service & Lounge)
Nestled in the heart of Disney’s Wilderness Lodge, Geyser Point Bar and Grill is a scenic spot that features a walk-up window and an all-day menu. Satisfy your cravings from morning til’ night with a variety of fresh options from the comfort of your lounge chair or at a table on the restaurant’s spacious outdoor deck.
Territory Lounge
Territory Lounge is designed with a decidedly Pacific Northwestern theme, complete with traditional building materials like rustic logs reminiscent of a cozy cabin. You’ll also enjoy marveling at the hand-hewn statues of bears, tons of wood paneling, and warm, low lighting. They serve great drinks (with lots of Canadian beer options), but even better than the drinks is the upscale pub grub with old favorites served up in new ways.
