Notable Facts
Like Disney's Wilderness Lodge, the Villas were inspired by the national parks of the Pacific Northwest
The Carolwood Room on the first floor of the Boulder Ridge Villas lobby is named after Walt Disney’s outdoor model railroad, the Carolwood Pacific, and includes a mini-museum
Frog Family Tips
Choose an odd-numbered room on an upper floor for the best views of the woods
Stop by the Lodge's front desk and ask for a Hidden Mickeys Hunt that offers clues to find all of the Hidden Mickeys at the resort
Wind down in the evenings in the main villas gathering area; there are board games for the kids, and it's a great spot to cozy up with a book
Order family-style at Whispering Canyon Cafe for the best value and all-you-can-eat offerings
Best For
Nature-loving families, especially larger families with longer stays, who are looking for kitchenettes or full kitchens, in-room washers and dryers, and deluxe-level amenities
