Wilderness Lodge Exterior Refurbishment Closes Lobby Terrace, Reroutes Guests

Overview

• On-site updates show scaffolding repositioned along the main building’s right wing, with work visible from multiple floors.
• Crews are repainting exterior wood beams, prepping columns, and continuing roof work, with select columns changing to a darker brown to match the structure.
• The terrace off the main lobby remains closed with posted notices, and several paths near the water features are blocked with signed detours.
• Disney’s advisory for the resort’s exterior project has been in effect since August 2024 and does not list an end date, though dining and transportation continue to operate.
• The overhaul aligns with a broader refresh of deluxe resorts across Walt Disney World that has led to staggered closures and extended project timelines.
