Staying at Boulder Ridge Villas at Disney's Wilderness Lodge

The beauty of an American National Park is closely recreated at Disney's Wilderness Lodge, a place where the natural meets the fantastic. The family-friendly Disney timeshares include 181 condos with up to two bedrooms, each decorated in a rustic style designed to give a more rural feel.

Carved wooden beams and furniture greets you as you walk through the lobby and pass through the three-story rotunda with its massive stone fireplace. The Carolwood Pacific Room, adjacent to the rotunda, has daily guided tours showcasing its Walt Disney Memorabilia, which includes Disney’s love for old-fashioned steam trains.

Wilderness Lodge Resort Amenities

Disney's Wilderness Lodge has many amenities which will only enhance your stay at the resort. A massive heated outdoor pool surrounded by pine trees adds to the picturesque quality of a day spent on the grounds, and there is a network of bicycling and walking trails throughout the property if you wish to explore the area more thoroughly.

Dining at the resort is exceptional. Any fan of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs won't want to miss out on the Story Book Dining at Artist Point set in the enchanted forest, with visits from Snow White, Dopey, Grumpy, and even the Evil Queen. For more casual dining, you can visit any of the other three onsite restaurants, and the bar/lounge for quick drinks.

Disney timeshare resorts are part of an entire transit network that is a quick and easy way to visit all of the Disney Theme Parks. From the Wilderness Lodge, you have your pick of transportation options - whether to go by water taxi to Magic Kingdom, via Monorail, or by bus. All of these are complimentary, while the private Minnie Van service around Walt Disney World is available for an extra fee.

Resort concierge services onsite can help with dining reservations and tickets, including for character dining experiences like the one at Artist Point, getting hours for showtimes and parades at the different parks, and childcare options, among other questions you may have during your stay.

Merchandise pickup and delivery are also offered for gifts and souvenirs you might purchase during your days at the Disney World theme parks. Mail, laundry, and housekeeping services are also regularly offered at the resort.

Finally, if all the excitement and walking around at the Disney Parks have exhausted you, get pampered at Salon by the Springs, a tranquil spot in the recreated Pacific Northwest where you can receive manicures, pedicures, and hair styling to get you ready for another day.

Boulder Ridge Villas Timeshare Accommodations

There are several different types of rooms, villas, and cabins available at the resort, so you can easily find one that suits your family and fellow travelers' needs. Regardless of which room type you may choose, all have access to the dining, pool, and onsite recreation options.

Deluxe Studio units come with a queen-sized bed, a double-sized sleeper sofa and a pull down single bed, accommodating up to five adults. They offer views of the pool, woodlands, courtyard, or Disney's Wilderness Lodge Resort, as do all of the unit options. Amenities include a patio or balcony, complimentary high-speed internet, a small refrigerator, a coffee maker, and a flat-screen TV.

Other Disney timeshares at the resort can accommodate large groups of people and families more easily. Villas have the advantage of full-sized kitchens, so meals and snacks can be prepared more easily, extended living and dining areas, so the spaces don't feel as crowded, and an in-suite washer and dryer. They are also more private than the standard units.

Villas have one or two bedrooms each, with a two-bedroom lock off option as well. A one-bedroom villa can sleep up to four adults. The two-bedroom villas can accommodate up to eight people and the two-bedroom lock off villas up to nine. All villas have either a patio or a balcony overlooking the pool, bay lake, or the grounds.

Things to Do at Disney and Beyond

Walt Disney World is naturally the most popular destination for people staying at Boulder Ridge Villas at Disney's Wilderness Lodge, and the resort is designed to convey groups of people and families easily and conveniently to and from the parks. Each park is a masterpiece of fun and entertainment for all ages and can easily absorb your vacation time.

Whether it is the iconic Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Animal Kingdom or Hollywood Studios, Disney theme parks will keep you entertained with all the magic that Disney has provided for nearly 100 years.

However, if you are looking for other things to do while staying at an Orlando timeshare, the surrounding area has earned its place as a leading vacation capital of the world. There is no shortage of attractions and things to do, either by day or night. Its shopping malls and reams of stores can delight shoppers to no end, and the golfing and mini-golfing opportunities are equally engaging.

Besides Walt Disney World, Orlando has other theme parks including Sea World, Discovery Cove, Universal Studios, Gatorland, and Legoland. Any family wanting to explore these places can easily occupy a day at each, and still, feel ready to return for more.

When in bloom, the Harry P. Leu Gardens provide another 50 acres of floral beauty and shouldn't be missed in the spring or summer.

If you want to take a day trip while staying at Boulder Ridge Villas at Disney's Wilderness Lodge, you will find many other Florida destinations within a few hours of your resort.

Tampa and St. Petersburg, with their beautiful beaches and Busch Gardens theme park, are just a couple of hours to the southwest. Daytona Beach, one of the top-rated beaches in Florida, is just over an hour's drive east of Orlando, as is the ever-popular Kennedy Space Center on Cape Canaveral. And for a shorter drive, consider Winter Park, and its myriad dining, shopping, and art galleries.

When to Vacation in Orlando

Boulder Ridge Villas at Disney's Wilderness Lodge is an all-season resort, with easy access to Walt Disney World and a massive, heated, outdoor pool. And Orlando itself is perpetually busy with tourists from all over the world coming to enjoy a holiday in this world-class destination. However, as in any tourist city, there are some ebbs and flows throughout the year in terms of its overall visitors.

The most popular times to visit an Orlando timeshare would be concurrent with school holidays, but especially Summer, although the hot weather will make the waterparks like Typhoon Lagoon that much more appealing. Winter and Spring Break are also times when many families come looking for a warm vacation spot away from cold northern winters. The quietest time of year is in the fall when the kids have just gone back to school and the number of families taking a vacation goes down.

However, if you are wanting a themed visit, whether for the spooky fun of Halloween, the enchantment of Christmas and New Year, or the bliss of freedom in the summer, then those times of year are especially magical and well worth a visit to these Disney timeshares.

Whenever you choose to take your vacation, DVC resales at Boulder Ridge Villas provide terrific value compared to buying directly from Disney. And much better value than the sky-high rental rates which can go for over $500 a night.
