I agree mrsap that lowering the CCV 2017 taxes by $1.61 per point is great news. I bet they would have sold more points if the guides could have shown the CCV dues were only $5.72 and that only two other resorts have lower dues per point at WDW. But then that appraisal amount is deceptive because the county has not set the real value for the property yet since 2017 is only a partial year.

I agree!! But we loved WL so much, the fees didn't scare us off. Although Polynesian was an option, and we considered it, we knew we wouldn't be able to call it 'Home'. There's something so special about the Lodge!! (Especially since we go in November/December!!) We LOVE Christmas!!!!

Do you think you can see the monorail from that farthest (north) cabin? Also, did boat noise disturb you last night? Thanks!

The boat noise may not be too intrusive; however, do expect to see a lot of boat traffic including fishing boats right up against the shore. When we were there in May and again in July, we saw fishing boats every day and some of them were close to the shore line. Often, they were there first thing in the morning (that's prime fishing time), so if you're uneasy about having other guests lounging about in a boat for long stretches of time it's a consideration (albeit perhaps a small one).

I am so excited to stay at CCV for the first time, I was able to book a studio this morning for April!!! We have always loved the lodge but had never gotten around to staying there so we are very excited for our stay (is it April yet????).

And congrats! So exciting!! If you'd like me to put your vacation dates on the list on page 1, I'd be happy to! The CCV look beautiful! I hope you enjoy it!

Sdog - Do you think there would be fewer fishing boats along the shoreline by the northern cabins - the lower numbered ones away from FW? Thanks for your help!

Actually, we saw more fishing along the north side. Plus, you have all the boats going back and forth between WL and MK that go right by those cabins, and even if the horns aren't too bad near the dock, you still have numerous boats cruising by your cabin all day and night--I believe I'd prefer the South Side cabins. In thinking about the orientation of the EWP, as well, I further believe the South Side cabins offer a better view of that show.

Thank you. We do love the EWP. I think we finally are closing in on our request!! (Just a request )

Staying at CCV next month 30-31 for my honeymoon after disney cruise. Booked a 1 bedroom. First time stayed at Wilderness Lodge and looking forward to it. Fees had scared me off when I bought Poly in April so probably would have bought CCV had it been lower. But loved the model so expect to have more stays in the future.

Hey guys! So I’ve stayed at WL 3x’s, But we were always at the parks at night. Just wondering if fireworks are at all visible from the new Geyser Point Grill? Thanks!

Yes. You can't see some of the lower explosions which are shielded by trees and buildings such as CR; however, you can see quite a bit of them. . .and they pipe in the music to GP, as well.

I am confused by those photos of a dedicated 2BR. My understanding, and from looking at the floorpans, is that it has 2 Q beds, not a bed and a pull out couch. That photo looks like a pull out?

We will be in a dedicated 2 BR in 3 weeks, and hoped for the 2 beds in that room. We are BCV owners.... who never seem to stay at BCV, lol. Dates, Oct 15, 16, 17 in CC 1BR. Oct 18, 19, 20, 21 in a 2 dedicated BR (additional family joining us).

Nice thread, we love WL, BR, and wanted to try CC. Got lucky and was able to book for this Oct 2017 on 1st day of bookings.

Our interpretation of the pictures is that there are two Queen beds in the room that has the sliding door connecting it to the restroom. The couch that is shown is in the common living room that is between the two bedrooms.

Have a great trip, we're looking forward to hearing about it.
