I guess I'll be "that guy" and be first to give a curmudgeony response.
We stopped by the Wilderness Lodge in early January to see how the resort was doing for our upcoming visit this year, and were shocked to see what they'd done to it. Of course the hot tubs, geyser, and pool features pictured here are lovely, but those are mostly unaltered from how they've been since 1994.
The most recent changes, aside from the play area (and with no kids in our party we didn't see this as much of an upgrade), are almost entirely detrimental to the resort. The fence looked as if Disney had purchased the cheapest metal fencing they could find at Home Depot, and tacked it onto the existing theming in the easiest way possible. Sometimes this created a very obvious disjointedness where two types of fencing clashed together:
Sometimes the fence was run right through existing landscaping, cutting flowerbeds in half with little regard for how the fence met the ground (and at a resort known principally for its landscaping, this is very disappointing):
And the boardwalk that passed between the hot tubs and geyser, which used to be one of the most pleasant strolls in a Disney resort, is now cut down the middle by a tall fence which doesn't match the guardrail on either side. It was so cheap-looking I would have sworn it was only temporary, there for the duration of construction, but by the sounds of things it's here to stay.
Perhaps I'm being overly-critical, but I love this resort the way many here seem to love the Poly, and find it equally (if not more-so) beautifully themed. It's a shame that the Wilderness Lodge is allowed to be modified with such cheap fixtures when the design work from over twenty years ago set such a high standard of theming. A resort designed so carefully around landscaping, and creating a beautiful, naturalistic environment, deserves much better in my opinion.
