The holiday spirit begins at the porte-cochere, where a grand wreath greets guests as they pull up to the lodge. Adorned with red flowers, white ribbons, pinecones, feathers, and arrows, the wreath is a stunning piece of artistry. Its centerpiece—a Native American-inspired sun design—pays homage to the lodge’s unique theming and sets the tone for the seasonal décor inside.
Throughout the lobby, garlands drape elegantly from the railings of each floor, their flannel ribbons and ornaments adding a rustic, homey touch. Above the entrance doors, light-up reindeer and trees shine brightly, while wreaths over the fireplace and windows are adorned with thoughtful details like miniature canoes, paddles, and woodsy accents. Even the railings of the small bridge over the lobby’s water feature are wrapped in glowing garlands, creating a magical ambiance.
In addition to these larger decorations, smaller details throughout the lobby add layers of festive charm. Corner trees are thoughtfully decorated with southwestern-inspired teddy bears, cardinal figures, and wood-burned art, while faux berries and pine accents bring the outdoors in. Each piece contributes to the lodge’s warm and welcoming holiday vibe.
Although the resort doesn’t have a gingerbread display this year, the festive snack kiosk more than makes up for it with a delicious selection of holiday treats and seasonal merchandise. Wrapped in garlands and lights, the kiosk offers an irresistible menu of goodies, including:
- Cheddar Gougère – $5.59
- Chocolate Crispy Tree Bar – $5.59
- Molasses Crackle Cookie – $4.99
- Dark Chocolate Bar – $6.99

The Cookie Box is a standout, featuring a molasses cookie, a shortbread cookie with a moose print, a sugar snowflake Mickey-shaped cookie, and a miniature molasses cookie. The Dark Chocolate Bar, with its intricate Wilderness Lodge totem design on one side and gingerbread men on the other, is another favorite, perfectly capturing the lodge’s holiday spirit. Each treat comes beautifully packaged, making them great gifts or indulgences for yourself.
Disney’s Wilderness Lodge has truly outdone itself with its festive decorations and holiday offerings. From its cozy ambiance to its thoughtful touches, the lodge is a must-visit destination for anyone seeking a unique and magical holiday experience at Walt Disney World.
