Well, after a brief respite down at the pool, we finally headed over to the Magic Kingdom one last time. I have to say the couple who felt they needed to bring their wine glasses on the boat (thus holding the rest of us up as they managed that) were annoying. Just didn't seem very "Wilderness...

Final word from the front desk: Lobby will be back in service by Monday, October 16th. The outside construction will be done by Thanksgiving at the absolute latest, but will depending on weather, etc. Don

Quick update as we're trying to enjoy our last day (we leave tomorrow morning). We had breakfast at Chef Mickey's and I have my first real "merchandising" complaint. They offer to take your picture in front of the plate, but you can't use photo pass (I asked). Then they roll around to your...

Alright gang - here's some final thoughts on all this (although I will confirm with the desk whatever I can about construction timeline before we leave tomorrow). 1) The lodge is still a beautiful place to stay. Regardless of the construction. 2) If you paid extra for courtyard view, I...

Day 6 It was time for Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party, so we loafed around the hotel in the morning and did a little swimming. Finally around 4 we headed over to MK via the boat. We knew Jasmine would be by Aladdin's magic carpet ride (I think she's there most every day), so we decided to...

Just a reminder from the two discussions I've had with CMs here - it sounds like the construction will be done around mid-November - by Thanksgiving at the latest.

On Monday, we headed over to Epcot after DD and DW played at the pool a bit. We started trying to figure which way to head and wandered into the "Character Connection" and no line to see Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, Goofy, and Chip 'n Dale! DD and DW headed over to the Living Seas and I went up to...

Here's the inside pictures. The stream is dry under the bridge.

Well, we took a boat over to Fort Wilderness and had a nice buffet breakfast at the Trail's End, then went over for a pony ride. DD played on the playset there for a bit, then back to the WL for some swimming! We swam for a few hours then came up for a nap, which consumed most of the rest of...

This was just a "WOW" day... First, right after my last update, I get a phone call - they want to deliver something and will someone be able to accept it. They bring this awesome basket of goodies for us! Two bags of cheetohs, a bag of bbq baked lays, regular baked lays, skittles, some...

Okay, first let me get the issue of what the room view looked like. I posted pics for that over in another thread, here: http://www.disboards.com/showpost.php?p=14895691&postcount=23 Now, on to the trip... We had dinner at Whispering Canyon and that was fun. DD was a little cranky but came...

The lodge is still the lodge. But if you've got a courtyard room and you go out on the balcony to see a pile of scaffolding, I think you might not like it. Or if you had to listen to guys slinging the scaffolding planks and making a racket. I notice that the folks saying it didn't bother them...

Short day today, due to general exhaustion... We got a late start and headed over to MK today and got there around 10. We split up as DW had our backpack checked and DD and I went in. Oops! We didn't set up a "meeting place" and yours truly decided he'd save time and rent a stroller (PLEASE -...

Great info. But here's some first hand info from someone "living" it. I'm in 119. I'd call this area the "inner courtyard", along the right hand side if you're looking out from the lobby. THe scaffolding is only on the rooms that are at the "base", if you will, or back to the lobby, at least for...

Alright gang, I thought I'd throw a little of this out there. I'm sitting on my balcony and figured I'd share... Flew in early afternoon yesterday (Thursday) and got to the Disney Welcome Center about 1:15pm. Now, maybe I'm denser than most, but it wasn't glaringly obvious to me where in the...

In addition to the lobby, the courtyard area is basically a construction zone. There;s a bunch of scaffolding and my balcony looks at a lovely pile of disassembled scaffolding. To be honest, I think they ought to be discounting the courtyard rate while this is going on, cause it just doesn't...

Disgirl83 - Congratulations! My wife and I will be there and celebrating our 6th anniversary on the 7th!

Well, my wife (who hasn't been in 20 years), is joining my 3.5 year old daughter and me for our first trip ever. We'll be there from the 5th to the 14th staying at WL, and doing MNSSHP on the 10th. Really bummed about the Nemo ride (The Seas with Nemo & Friends) - all I've seen is "opening in...

I know this is late in the game as far as this thread, but where did anyone originally find out about the Disney Visa promo? I've had a Disney Visa for quite some time now and even checked online and never did see anything about this promo. Were it not for this board, I would have missed it...

No and it depends... The discounts are mutually exclusive apparently. The odd thing is my AAA agent quoted them yesterday, with the Disney Visa numbers and AAA was better (by a very small margin). Today, when the deals switched to any Visa, the promo was over 10% cheaper (at WL). BUT --...
