    1st timer's report back from a week at the Wilderness Lodge

    That was another pleasant surprise, the sleeper sofa was great! Not quite as comfortable as the queen beds, but very close and no bar in the middle. It was actually a pretty clever design, easy to open and fold up, too. No complaints from my wife, and she's pretty particular about the comfort...

    1st timer's report back from a week at the Wilderness Lodge

    We actually enjoyed all of our dining experiences, but for different reasons. Most of the time, the food was good, but not great, but the setting and entertainment made the overall experience top-notch. One clear exception, however, was Le Cellier at Epcot. Here, everything came together and it...

    1st timer's report back from a week at the Wilderness Lodge

    I'm 1/2 guessing here, but I think the buses start at 6:00 a.m., I do seem to recall they start with plenty of time to make early breakfast ADRs, but you should confirm that, just in case. For the ME, when we arrived, we were 3rd of 4 stops (Grand Floridian 1st, Polynesian 2nd, WL 3rd, and...

    1st timer's report back from a week at the Wilderness Lodge

    Hi, We had to move rooms on our last night because we had to arrive a day later than originally planned due to weather-related flight problems. So, rather than turning a 7 day trip into a 6 day trip, we tacked on an extra day at the end, but had to change rooms to do that. Having...

    1st timer's report back from a week at the Wilderness Lodge

    We just got back from our 1st ever trip to WDW yesterday. We stayed at the Wilderness Lodge. Here's a rundown of our stay, what I learned, and what I hope will help other 1st timers. Here's the details. We booked through Disney Travel back in September for a week's stay for myself, my wife...

    Ipod docking alarm clocks at WL?

    I just got back yesterday from a week's stay at the WL. Each room does come with an iHome clock radio with iPod doc, and cable for attaching other MP3 players through the headphone jack.

    changing rooms at the same resort

    Due to weather issues, our flight today was canceled, so we're leaving a day later than planned. I had to scramble a lot, but was able to get our flight rebooked for tomorrow, and I changed our return flight to a day later than originally scheduled. The Wilderness Lodge was able to accommodate...

    Less than 24 hours to our 1st trip - what phone numbers, etc. should I have with me?

    Well, a quick update. The plane we were meant to fly out on today was delayed in arriving in last night, which resulting in a 30 minute delay in departing, which would have resulted in us missing our connecting flight from ORD to MCO, so United re-booked our ORD to MCO flight tomorrow.:furious...

    Less than 24 hours to our 1st trip - what phone numbers, etc. should I have with me?

    Since we have a concierge room, would it make sense to call the Itenerary Planning Office, too? (Just in case)

    Less than 24 hours to our 1st trip - what phone numbers, etc. should I have with me?

    We'll actually be arriving in Chicago on an United Express/SkyWest flight, so a lot of those arrive at terminal 2. We'll have our running shoes on...

    Less than 24 hours to our 1st trip - what phone numbers, etc. should I have with me?

    Yep, we're excited (but I'm sweatin' bullets, but that's normal for me). I pulled this info of the WDW website and added it to my contact list: CONTACT INFORMATION: Disney's Wilderness Lodge Telephone: (407) 824-3200† Fax: (407) 824-3232† Reservations: (407) WDW-MAGIC (939-6244)† Hopefully, I...

    Less than 24 hours to our 1st trip - what phone numbers, etc. should I have with me?

    We're now officially less than 24 hours from taking off for our very 1st trip to WDW. In fact, it will be the 1st time we've ever flown any where as a family. Unfortunately, the weather hasn't been cooperating. We'll be flying from Boise, ID, through Chicago O'Hare to Orlando. We've had heavy...

    Resort deliveries

    Dominos and Pizza Hut have online ordering, I checked the Dominos site, and it looked like it would work. You can also use their systems to find the nearest location with phone # to call and confirm.

    9 days until our very 1st trip to WDW - How are our ADRs?

    I was hoping to catch Fantasmic, but with the new hours, it would have caused a major chain-reaction in my ADRs to get that...

    9 days until our very 1st trip to WDW - How are our ADRs?

    Hi, We're now less than 9 days away from our very 1st trip to WDW. There will be 6 of us, myself, my wife and our 4 kids (ages 6 to 14). We'll be staying at the Wilderness Lodge in a deluxe room/Jr. suite, so we'll have access to the concierge lounge. We're also on the dining plan. Any...

    Any rooms that accomodate fam of 5 @ AKL and/or WL?

    WL has the deluxe rooms/Jr. suites. We're a family of six and will be staying at the WL in about 16 days. The 1st page of the official WL thread has images of the room layout.

    Crowd Levels January 11-16

    I think you're putting way too much emphasis on their recommendations for which day to visit. While it is an important factor, the Touring Plans site clearly states that it is far more important to arrive early with a plan, which it sounds like you clearly did. If you visit the link you posted...

    Is Disney World Really Closing Resorts?

    http://www.intercot.com/news/2001/october.asp - In October 2001, Disney did close POFQ and delayed the opening of Pop Century Resort. Between economic uncertainty and a completely crippled travel industry at the time, who could blame them. Its not as if people were lining up to get on an...

    Is Disney World Really Closing Resorts?

    And you know this because? Or, as you mentioned earlier, this is nothing more than just a rumor and pure speculation on your part? Besides, shutting down a resort just doesn't make sense (yet, at least). If I remember right, the company's last earnings call said the parks were holding up OK...
