The following is from an on-line Disney discussion site in response to a question regarding Disney's Wilderness Lodge:
We have never stayed at WL, but we love to visit. The lobby is the best of any Disney Resort at WDW. The theming of course is of Wilderness and the resort is made to look like it is of Wood, though I suspect it is not.
This just tickles me.
The author is correct though; the Wilderness Lodge does have the best lobby of all the Disney resorts. And it's even better at Xmas.
The Lodge theming is that of an early-1900s Northwest National Park lodge, and is patterned after the one in Yellowstone NP.
The fireplace in the lobby is a recreation of the 2-billion year-old strata of the Grand Canyon with over 100 colors in hues of green, magenta, buff, red, black and brown, as well as fossilized remains of prehistoric plant and animal life.
There is also a HM in the fireplace!

And no, the lodge is not made of wood. It is constructed of molded, colored and hand-painted concrete.
The huge stone blocks which appear to form the lodge's foundation are also concrete, as are the 'stone' steps.
These rocks, and the ones that surround the geyser, are hand painted to look natural, right down to the lichens, mold and algae stains (some are now the real thing).
