Disney’s Wilderness Lodge closed along with the rest of Walt Disney World in March, 2020. When Disney World reopened in July 2020, the Lodge did not follow suit.

Currently, while the Disney Vacation Club’s Boulder Ridge Villas are opened — in addition to some dining and shopping — non-Disney Vacation Club rooms at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge are not available.

However, Disney’s Wilderness Lodge is set to reopen in June 2021. This means the non-DVC rooms will be available for booking!

Stay tuned for more details on what’s happening at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge.

Artist Point is being transformed into an Enchanted Forest for this new character meal, including lantern-draped trees.

If you love Whispering Canyon Cafe for the fun and crazy antics of the cast members (ketchup, anyone?) you’re not going to like this news.

It’s being reported by many guests that the antics and shenanigans that were the cornerstone of WCC’s popularity have been halted.

No explanation for the drastic change has been given.

A couple years ago, the restaurant had instituted a “flip card” program where guests could choose if they wanted to be part of the fun or if they wanted to just enjoy their meal without ALL the ketchup being delivered to their table. ;-D

We’re not sure if this is a permanent change or something they’re testing right now – but we’re seeing a lot of unhappy fans on social media proclaiming that they’re never going back to WCC.

If we get more details about this change, we’ll post an update!
