Wilderness Lodge Mercantile (The Gift Shop at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge)
Wilderness Lodge Mercantile is the gift shop at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge. It’s a unique gift shop whose theming is inspired by the Pacific Northwest mixed with touches of Disney. You’ll find anything from resort-branded merchandise to the latest Disney-branded items inside the tremendous gift shop.
This store is also great for guests staying at the Lodge because it offers a selection of grocery and convenience items. Below, we’ll preview what was available during our last stay. All of the photos in this article were taken in March 2024. So, every item you see may not be available during your visit. However, these photos do represent the type of merchandise that will be available. For example, while updating this article, we replaced photos of grocery items from two years ago. Most of the photos were identical down to the same boxes of cereal sitting on the same shelf.
Wilderness Lodge Mercantile sits on the corner of the resort’s lobby. The resort’s check-in area and bell services desk sit to the immediate right of the gift shop. To the left, a long hallway leads to the resort’s bus stop.
Wilderness Lodge Mercantile is open daily from 8:00 a.m. until 10:30 p.m. The gift shop has two entrances. One sits directly behind the totem pole featuring Mickey Mouse, Goofy, Donald Duck, and Humphrey the Bear. The other is near the resort’s entrance, which leads to the bus stop. Mercantile is deceiving in size. When you step inside, you realize it’s much larger than it appears.
Like the rest of the resort, Wilderness Lodge Mercantile has traditional Native American pieces on display. A regalia is framed over the fireplace.
Here are a few more photos of theming elements.
Both entrances have a variety of resort-branded merchandise on display.
These things tend to come and go out of stock due to their popularity. So, if you’re looking for a specific piece during your stay, you might want to check back several times.
The Minnie Ears for the resort have been popular.
The beach towel features the totem pole characters at the gift shop’s entrance.
This display features resort tumblers.
These acorn mugs come with a lid.
Here are a few more items.
These Wilderness Lodge Canteens have a wood grain look.
Here is the robe with the resort’s logo.
We often stop in the resort, and I almost always browse the shop. As you can see in the photo below, they usually have a good selection of resort-branded apparel.
I had not seen this wooden box themed to Storybook Dining at Artist Point.
Then I ran into these guys and realized they were magnets!
So now I have a new magnet. As someone who has vowed not to become a collector of anything, I’m increasingly concerned about the number of resort magnets on my refrigerator.
Speaking of collectors, I know a few of you will ooh and aah over these salt and pepper shakers!
Smokey the Bear merchandise is another gift shop staple at the Wilderness Lodge.
Here are a few of the other apparel items that were available.
Disney-branded collections with matching accessories come and go. But you can almost always find the latest looks at the resort gift shops.
Here are a few children’s apparel items.
The gift shop has several items if you forget to bring a swimsuit.
You can also buy an extra piece of luggage to get all of your new purchases back home.
They had a nice selection of hats.
If you prefer, a rack of coon skin hats sits in the corner. Minnie Ears were in abundance.
Here’s a portion of the store you cannot see from the entrance. This area has home essentials and grocery items.
Wonderland Tea and Walker’s Shortbread products are available. Some items are available as snack credits on the Disney Dining Plan. Those shortbread cookies are incredible and packable. You can enjoy them when you return home as you reminisce on your time at Walt Disney World.
An entire corner of the store is dedicated to children’s items. They have plush, bubble wands, board games, puzzles, bath toys, and other select toys.
The gift shop had a nice selection of pins, lanyards, and other pin-trading accessories.
We get a good deal of questions about MagicBands at the gift shops. This rack and the opposite side were all MagicBand+. They didn’t have any regular MagicBands. A cast member in the shop said they were out of stock. If you want to purchase a band, I would wait until you get to the theme parks and pick one you like. The parks will have a much more extensive selection.
We’ll preview the grocery items. Again, most of the items in these photos are identical to the ones I took during our last stay two years ago.
A corner in the back of the store has pantry items. Items include chips, dip, donuts, mini muffins, bread, condiments, soda, cookies, pasta, marinara, coffee, baby food, cereal, and more.
Since Disney’s Wilderness Lodge is home to two Disney Vacation Club Resorts, you’ll find a selection of items you couldn’t prepare in a regular hotel room. That’s because the DVC Resort rooms have upgraded amenities that range from kitchenettes to full-size kitchens, depending on the units. However, the regular rooms at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge are not part of the DVC Resorts.
Here are a few close-ups of the items.
A few wines and champagnes are available. If you need a bottle opened, check at the register.
Here are a few photos of the items available in the refrigerated cases.
Convenience items include over-the-counter medicines, floss, toothbrushes, personal items, sunscreen, and diapers, among other things.
With so many items, you should be able to find almost everything you need. Should you need a microwave or toaster, you can find one at Roaring Fork, the resort’s quick-service restaurant.

Lastly, a display case behind the register has various liqueurs.
