Disney’s Wilderness Lodge is undergoing a series of refurbishments, including updates to its boat dock and ongoing painting work throughout the resort. Here’s what guests need to know about these changes and how they might impact your visit.
Painting Progress at Wilderness Lodge
The painting project at Wilderness Lodge has moved to the south wing of the main building. While some areas are harder to see due to tree growth, work continues with visible updates, such as columns being stripped of old paint in preparation for new wood staining. Scaffolding is also set up behind the lobby for additional painting tasks. All construction areas are currently blocked off to guests to ensure safety.
Dock Refurbishment Details
The boat dock at Wilderness Lodge is now closed for routine maintenance. Crews are actively working on the dock, replacing old wooden planks and installing new ones. The refurbishment is expected to continue through late July, but boat transportation will only be suspended until May 1. During this time, guests are encouraged to use bus transportation as an alternative.
Guest Access and Signage
The boardwalk leading to the dock is currently blocked by a construction wall. Signs throughout the resort inform guests about the temporary suspension of boat transportation and direct them to the bus service for travel needs.
Conclusion
While the dock closure and painting updates may cause minor inconveniences, these refurbishments are part of Disney’s commitment to maintaining the high standards of its resorts. Guests can look forward to a refreshed and enhanced experience at Wilderness Lodge once the work is complete.
