Ok, then that would be Wilderness Lodge and it is a BEAUTIFUL hotel. We just stayed there in June. What ages are the people that will be with you? They have lots of fun stuff for kids. When you check in they will give you a schedule of events, but off the top of my head I remember cookie decorating, arts and crafts, pool bingo, pool parties (trivia games, dancing), and movies by the lake. All the kids with us (ages 7,8,9) had a blast, and frankly, so did the adults!!!

It also depends on the time of year you're going because things like movies by Bay Lake don't happen in the winter months.

Wilderness Lodge is one of my absolute favorites! There was never a dull moment.
As Ashli said, they give you a schedule of events going on around the resort. But in addition, I recommend a breakfast at the Whispering Canyon Cafe. Was truly an experience.

They also have a marina, we like to rent SeaRaycers. There are bike rentals too. Are there kids, or just adults? You can inquire about being a flag family. I found The Tour of the Lodge interesting.

This is a wonderful place and plenty of things to do. Also you are right next door to Fort Wilderness Camp Ground. Be sure and plan a meal at Trail End or take in the Show and dinner at Hoop-De-Do. Walk the nature trail,See the Electrical Water Parade, View the Geyser,Swim,Rent the Searacer Boats,Tour the Lodge,Do a hidden Mickey Hunt and so many other things. As mention be sure and eat at Whispering Canyans and for an great evening meal Artist Point.
