The Wilderness Lodge is one of the most beautiful resorts at Disney World. The grounds are inspired by the Pacific Northwest’s National Park Services lodges. The grounds of the resort include a hot spring, a geyser, a 55-foot-tall totem pole, and even a waterfall. In the spectacular 7-story lobby there is an 82-foot tall stone fireplace.

When you pull up to Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Resort, you don’t get a feel for the beauty of the hotel. The entrance is big and impressive, but the real show is behind the resort. It all starts inside the lobby where a hot spring (no it’s not a real hot spring, but it is hot water) comes out of the ground and flows through the lobby, outside, down over a waterfall, ending in the swimming pool area.
