Wildernesses Lodge or Boardwalk for Christmas?

[packfan79]

We’re planning a trip for December of 2018 and looking at staying at either WL or BW. We don’t prefer one park over the others and go to all 4 while there, but we usually hit MK twice. We also like good dining, a good bar area, and just overall theme. We stayed at BCV on our last trip. We visited WL to eat at WCC, and boy, WL is gorgeous! We walked over to the BW area, but didn’t go in the resort itself. The BW area is neat, though. So...what’s your pick for a Christmas trip?

I'd pick Wilderness Lodge. It's gorgeous at Christmas. The bars and such at BW are okay to me but nothing special. I'm not as big of a fan of decorations there compared to WL as well.

Easy choice.

They're our two favorite resorts. WL has a leg up on holiday decorations, but hardly a reason to choose one over the other. When my son was younger I preferred the location of WL - the proximity to MK with a younger child is a plus, as it's easy to hop back to the room for a break. As he's gotten older I've come to prefer the location for BW - now when we go to MK we tend to spend the whole day, whereas we find stopping at the room between Epcot and Studios to be a plus.

Short answer is you can't go wrong with either.

WL... even if the temps are in the 70's it just feels colder there...

My husband is gunning for BW due to the walkability to 2 parks. I’m on the fence....WL is soooo pretty!!

Another vote for WL at that time of year. Drink in hand, sitting by a cozy fireplace after a long day, surrounded by gorgeous Christmas decor... doesn’t get much better.

Yes! Exactly! That’s what I keep telling him. I’ll hopefully win him over.

Definitely try, he won’t regret it!! Here’s just 2 of the fireplace spots, the main one in the lobby, and one of a few tucked away gems.

I would go with Boardwalk. No, you don't have the big tree in the lobby like you'd have at WL, but they do have nice decorations and gingerbread. I prefer the convenience factors with BW and you get a bigger room at BW.

Well...it’s been decide...Boardwalk!

Boardwalk is great and I prefer it over Wilderness Lodge. With that said Wilderness Lodge is worth seeing during Christmas time so I'd consider a meal there.

Already on it, lol. We’re planning on WCC, love the skillet meal plus I get to see the Lodge!
