As one of Disney World’s deluxe resorts, Wilderness Lodge is well-connected and straightforward to get to.
Whether you're flying in, taking a train, or driving, with a little bit of preparation, you can plan a travel day that’ll be relatively stress-free.
Flying in
If you’re flying in, the closest airport to Disney’s Wilderness Lodge is Orlando International Airport (MCO), which is approximately a 30-minute drive away, depending on traffic.
For those using a rideshare app, like Uber or Lyft, to get a pickup from MCO to Swan and Dolphin Resorts costs around $30 - $40 - though these apps use ‘surge’ pricing, which changes depending on demand in the area in real-time.
A private airport transfer would typically cost between $100 and $200, depending on the type and size of the vehicle you need.
Travelling with a coach transfer, meanwhile, may be cheaper depending upon the size of your group, with single each-way journeys priced at around $16 per person.
Travelling by train
If you’re arriving by train, the nearest station is Amtrak’s Orlando Station, located about 22 miles from the resort.
The transfer time from the station to Disney World’s Wilderness Lodge is roughly 35 minutes by car.
A recent addition to guests’ travel options is Florida's Brightline rail service is a high-speed rail line connecting the Orlando International Airport (MCO) with other major cities in Florida, particularly Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and West Palm Beach.
So this may allow more flexibility if your plans see you flying into another Florida airport, or if you’re planning a split-stay trip.
There are no complimentary shuttle services from the train station to the Disney resorts, but all the usual transfer options are available.
Driving to Disney’s Wilderness Lodge
For those who prefer to drive, Disney World’s Wilderness Lodge is easily accessible by car.
Guests can park on-site, and it is complimentary for hotel guests during their stay.
Once parked, guests can leave the car in the resort car park and make use of Disney’s internal shuttle system to get around the parks without needing their car.
