I have one of those day calendars on my DL, a Star Trek one, that you peel off each day. Today I wrote a count down on each of the coming days so I have my own daily countdown when I get to work which gives me a great start to the day! 39 days today!!!
Only 38 days!!!
Hello everyone! I just changed our February reservation to Wilderness Lodge
so excited! Just love this resort...Looks like I have a lot of reading to catch up on here on this thread though...
WOOHOO! Happy planning and catching-up. Let us know if you have any questions.
Only 11 more days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So very excited and cannot wait to try the OFC for the first time. I have a feeling Jim is going to now have a favorite.
I have the same feeling and I think he'll let you know within 24 hours...or minutes
We did make it to the GrandCalifornian for dinner. We just grabbed nachos from their QS restaurant, but it was a fun way to round out the day.
GC and WL are as similar as any two Disney resorts I can think of, but they have their unique features. GC doesn't have the beautiful location on Bay Lake, but you can walk right in to the CA Adventure Park.
Nice to see some photos of that other Lodge. Are you all packed and done with
?
I'm sure I'm not next, but I'm checking in soon!
Many thanks to those who have been posting great photos, they are so appreciated!!
You sure are checking-in soon and I can't wait to hear what you think. You may have missed my question, but just curious, why did you make the RC?
Anyone checking out from WL 10/6 to go on the Dream.. want to share a limo?
Oooo nice. I thought one or two were going on the BWI/BWV thread, but I may be all wrong on the dates. You might want to post to some other Deluxe threads and see if you can share if no one can here.
Both times we have been in that area on the 6th floor and therefore had a closed balcony which i did not think was bad. However, are the balconies open on the 5th floor?
Only part of the 6th floor and all of the 7th have enclosed balcony railings.
I'm having a dreadful time focusing on anything except Disney. I'm already packed. It's so hard that a room has already been assigned to me and I can't find out which one. Sigh.
Can't wait. Can't wait. Can't wait. Can't wait. Can't wait. Can't wait. Can't wait. Can't wait. Can't wait. Can't wait. Can't wait. Can't wait. Can't wait. Can't wait.
Sounds like someone won't be getting much sleep. But that's OK, a Disney-tired is a great thing.
Well, I guess I will show up after all of you. We are scheduled to check in next Saturday! Can't wait. I will be there with my two young children ages 22 years old and 29 years old.
Plus my ddil and dd's boyfriend. Oh, and DH.
What family fun! How many rooms are you in or are you in a villa?
I'm at 24 days till check-in! So much to do and can't concentrate!
You.Must.Concentrate. You don't want to forget to pack.
We checked out last Saturday and I have to say of all the resorts we stayed out the WL is by far our favorite. The feeling you get when there is simply amazing. We loved being awed and peaceful at the same time!
I have posted some more pictures of the lodge, hope you enjoy them.
I did enjoy them! Thank you. You'll have to book your return trip soon
As for us... 87 days to go! My stomach literally does a flip looking at some of these pictures!! I want to be there NOW!!!
I even got a wild hair yesterday thinking "Well, dh has a week off in October, we could see if we could switch our point rental, and our flights are with Southwest so we could move them....
"
But patience will pay off. I want to be a VWL, and I want to be there for the Christmas season. I can only imagine it's even more beautiful with all of the decorations. So.. I wait.
The time will start going faster and before you know it - you'll be walking in and seeing this:
I have be stalking this thread for awhile now and love every minute of it.
Today is FINALLY the day we leave. We will be arriving at WL this afternoon and thanks to this thread I am most excited about the lodge.
It will be our first time staying deluxe as a family.
Thank you to everyone for posting your pics and comments because it made the wait bearable.
Glad you came out of lurkdom and welcome! I'm glad you found the thread useful and you can always say 'thanks' by posting some new photos while you're there
. You're going to LOVE the LODGE and we can't wait to hear what you think.
Posted this separately, but if any WL experts know this I would appreciate it!
I haven't stayed at WL since the refurb (last stay in fall 2011) and wondering if anyone can tell me about the hairdryers there. Good? Strong? Pictures?
DD and I have long hair and find they work really fast:
Can someone add my date?? Nov 1 - 3 WL Club Level
I've added you to Post #1.
