Choosing where you’ll be staying on your Disney World vacation is a big decision — do you want to stay somewhere close to the parks and spend more, or would you rather save some money and stay a little further away? If you’re looking to stay close to the Magic Kingdom, Wilderness Lodge is a great option!

Although you can’t choose the room you stay in, you can request the area, and there are a lot to choose from, including rooms closest to the pools, the elevators, the laundry room, and the lobby, and those with certain views, including pool views, Bay Lake views, resort views, and even Magic Kingdom views! We have a FULL LIST of the rooms that best match these locations, so let’s go through them!

The Main Building

The main building is home to the beautiful lobby…

…and several eateries, including Whispering Canyon Cafe, Territory Lounge, Story Book Dining at Artist Point with Snow White, and Roaring Fork.

If you’re hoping to be as close to the lobby as possible, you’ll want to request rooms ending in 00-05, 71, 73, 82-87, 89, and 90. As a warning, these areas can be quite loud since they are the closest to the lobby.

If you’re looking to be close to the pool, the room you’ll want to request is 2115, but any rooms in this area would work as well!

Room 2107 is going to be closest to the ice and vending machines, as well as the main lobby area, the gift shop, and the arcade.

Rooms ending in 06 and 04 are going to be closest to the elevator.

If you’re hoping for a pool view, nature view, or resort view, rooms ending in 01, 03, 71, and 73 are the rooms you’ll want. Other rooms ending in odd numbers are likely to have this view, but it is not guaranteed.

Rooms ending in even numbers, such as 04-32, may have a resort view, and higher floors may have a theme park view! All other even rooms will have a resort, nature, or pool view.

On the other side of the resort, room 1030 is going to be closest to the elevators, lobby, Roaring Fork, and Territory Lounge.

Boulder Ridge

Rooms 1533-1535 are going to be closest to the pool, Boulder Ridge Cove.

And if you’re looking to do some laundry on your trip, the closest rooms to the laundry room will be rooms 1509-1516.

Depending on the floor you’re on, rooms ending in 33-57 and 61 may have a view of the pool, Bay Lake, or both!

On floor 5, rooms ending in 17-24 will be closest to the elevators and ice and vending machines, while on floors 2-4, the closest room to those locations ends in 14.

Rooms ending in 17, 19, 23, 24, 28, and 30 are in the circle around the opening to the lobby area, so if you’re hoping to be close to the lobby, you’ll want to request rooms ending in those numbers. Compared to the lobby in the main building, this area was much quieter.

Okay… you know which room you want to stay in, so it’s time to start planning your dining reservations! There are A LOT of dining locations on Disney property, so it can be overwhelming to go through everything and decide. But don’t worry — our Guide to Disney World Dining pulls it all together so you can stop stressing and focus on the fun without feeling like you’re missing a thing!

Now that you know where these rooms are, how can you request them? Well, there are a couple of ways — you can call ahead and ask a Cast Member to put a note in, but we’ve found the best way to do it is at the front desk when you arrive at the hotel. Remember, your request is NOT guaranteed, and even if it does get granted, you may need to wait a bit longer for the room to be ready. But it doesn’t hurt to ask!

If you’re booking a Disney World vacation soon and are staying at Wilderness Lodge, keep these room numbers in mind so you have an idea of where you’ll be located! Stay tuned to the Disney Food Blog for more Disney World news, updates, tips, and tricks.
