We spent December 23rd at Fort Wilderness and Disney’s Wilderness Lodge – then we were back at the Fort again for Christmas Eve. We love it there! Pioneer Hall is festive with garland and wreaths (below left), and sleigh rides were just beginning as we arrived (below, right). I first stayed at the Fort Wilderness campground as a kid with my parents in 1971 and it’s always nice to make more memories there.
I am continuing with my coverage of Christmas at Walt Disney World with some photos from the now-decorated Disney’s Wilderness Lodge at Walt Disney World!
It is one of the more popular resorts for Christmas decor, with a beautiful tree in the middle of the lobby as well as lit reindeer on a ledge over the doors. Below you can also see one of the smaller Christmas trees, looking out on the courtyard, with a reflection in the window (below right).
The Wilderness Lodge once boasted a wonderful gingerbread train display, but it’s been years since that display has been set up.
