Quick Verdict: Universal's Loews Royal Pacific Resort vs Disney's Wilderness Lodge

When Royal Pacific wins: pick Universal's Loews Royal Pacific Resort if your main priority is quick access to Universal parks, Universal Express/early-entry perks, a large family-oriented lagoon pool with a sandy beach area, and on-site restaurants with a South Pacific feel.

When Wilderness Lodge wins: choose Disney's Wilderness Lodge if you want a Disney Deluxe hotel near Magic Kingdom with distinctive Pacific Northwest lodge design, a quieter Disney-resort atmosphere, and on-site conveniences like a lobby fireplace and complimentary Disney theme-park shuttle.

Bottom line: both are deluxe, heavily themed resorts aimed at families and couples, but Royal Pacific is the better fit for Universal park perks and a resort pool experience, while Wilderness Lodge is the right call for a Disney-centric stay and lodge-style ambiance.
