Holidays take on a new meaning as you walk into the lobby of any Disney World Resort. The Wilderness Lodge lobby has become our favorite resort to visit over the past 19 years because of the splendor of the decor. The lobby Christmas tree reaches almost as high as the 8 story lobby and the woodsy decorations that adorn the tree are spectacular. There are deer antler decorations, tee-pees, feathers in deep hues of browns ,greens and colors of wind blown leaves in fall.
Along with the lobby tree are numerous other holiday decorations that adorn the rainings of the open floors to the lobby below. A favorite spot is a large black bear made of wooden rustic branches with evergreen trees which provides the perfect backdrop for that photo of your family.
The feeling of "home" is best felt here for the smells of Whispering Canyon Cafe BBQ beef and chicken spills into the lobby and the coziness of the limestone layered 82 ft. fireplace with rocking chairs brings you into the story of the wild west.
The lodge was imagined after the Old Faithful Inn at Yellowstone National Park and the Native American artifacts that dress the lobby with the rich history of these lodges is evident in every detail.
If Disney is on the list for your next family holiday vacation let me say "Welcome Home", the Wilderness Lodge is that place my family feels the warmth of Christmas and the beauty of the wilderness come to life!
