Themed as a resort from the national parks of the Northwest (think Yellowstone National Park), Disney’s Wilderness Lodge is both cozy and breathtaking. Immediately upon entering, you will be struck by the grandeur of the lobby, including a working fireplace, totems and tee-pee chandeliers. The fireplace is a replica of the rock strata of the Grand Canyon.

Storage is a little tricky for several large suitcases, so be prepared if you’re bringing many large bags!

Be sure to look for Hidden Mickeys in the lobby fireplace!

Wilderness Lodge offers tours that feature highlights of the construction and hidden gems in this beautiful resort. One such free tour is the Wonders of the Lodge Tour.

If you’re in a playful mood, eat at Whispering Canyon Cafe, and ask for ketchup! The waitstaff here will keep you laughing through your meal.

The lobby features a huge totem pole and many other locations for photo ops!

This is the smallest of the Deluxe Resorts, and is very similar in design to the Yellowstone Lodge in Yellowstone National Park.
