We don’t want to sound too dramatic, but things are not going very well at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge right now!

Wilderness Lodge

This is one of the most popular hotels at Disney World. It has a cabin-like feel to it, almost as if you’re on a camping retreat at the Most Magical Place on Earth. Although the resort is not feeling very magical right now.

The Wilderness Lodge is a hot resort right now. No…like literally HOT! The AC has completely shut down across the resort for three days, and they still have not been able to fix whatever issue is going on. Some parts of the hotel you really feel it, while others aren’t so bad.

It’s slightly cooler down at Roaring Fork, the quick-service restaurant. We actually found some temporary AC over there, which really helps, especially when enjoying your meal. Overall, things are a little chaotic as Cast Members do their best to accommodate the guests staying at the resort.

We found it to be extra hot inside Mercantile.  The fridges have also been emptied, and there’s a posted sign saying, “If you’re looking for something specific, ask a Cast Member.” A Cast Member actually came up to us while we were looking in the fridges to help us find something, which was super helpful!

We truly feel for everyone staying here and the Cast Members who are working hard to make the best out of the situation. The Cast Members are doing everything they can to help the guests, and they even put an ice water station in the lobby, which was nice and really helped a lot!

Some areas are operating normally. Whispering Canyon is still serving food right now, while Territory Lounge and Artists Pointe are both expected to open later. And everything was operating normally at Roaring Fork.

Problems are bound to happen, but we’re hoping Disney can solve this issue soon, especially considering how hot it is outside right now.
