MORE ON THE AMENITIES AND ART OF THE VILLAS AT THE WILDERNESS LODGE

The Villas at the Wilderness Lodge is an underappreciated gem of architecture and design.

While showing nothing so dramatic as the lobby of next-door Wilderness Lodge, the Villas have some very nice vistas from rooms on the long arm of the resort–at left in the image.

The rooms at top have views of Bay Lake, and those below of the forest. See the image at the top of the page for these forest views.  The grassy area closest to the building is not set up as a playground, and does not have paths leading to it.  But many kids from the first floor villas and studios that border it find their way here from their patios and play on it.

The Villas show the same attention to detailed theming that you’ll find in the main lodge, including these lights…

…and these.

Note the woodsy theming of this bench.

Also notable is the art and decoration. Art in the rooms has some Bambi theming–this from a Studio…

…and this in One and Two Bedroom villas.

Both rooms and public spaces have art with national park themes, like this…

…and this.

And you’ll also find many western vistas, some with trains…

…but most just of people and a view.

The Wilderness Lodge itself has the best, and best-executed, theming of any Disney World resort.

The Villas at the Wilderness Lodge both share in and complement this theming.

The only thing wrong with the Wilderness Lodge is the small bedrooms. Villas don’t have this problem except for groups larger than 6, so for everyone else they are the most highly recommended DVC resort for first-time visitors.
