Check In 

Villas at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge check-in time is 3 pm, and check-out time is 11am. This means that your room isn't guaranteed to be ready for you before 3 p.m. and the resort needs you completely out of your room by 11 a.m. on the day you check out.  

The centerpiece of the Wilderness Lodge is the main lobby.  A massive 82 foot tall, three-sided stone fireplace is surrounded by rustic-looking, wooden rocking chairs.  Four large tepee chandeliers hang overhead and two 55 foot high totem poles  stand guard at the entrance.  The multi-colored flooring was inspired by Northwest Indian designs.
