Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like it this year.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like it this year.

I just read on IG that the gingerbread houses were all coming back. Don’t give up hope!
Went back and read the DFB post and sadly, it did not include the one at WL. Sorry!

We were in a 2 bedroom dedicated villa, room 7114 from 10/24 to 11/1. While I would of preferred the open balconies, I did enjoy all the trees and view of Boulder Ridge from our 3 separate balconies. Here is a few photos @mrsap to add to our photo library. My kids and I absolutely loved the resort. They made out like bandits on the trick or treat trail on Halloween night. My wife's tastes have changed over time since we last stayed at the lodge in 2008, so while I'm sure we'll be back, she wants to try Beach Club or Boardwalk next time.

Just got back from 3 nights in the Cascade Cabins. INCREDIBLE! If you are thinking about doing it and are on the fence, DO IT. So worth it. We had both sets of parents and DH and I. We sucked it up on the couch so our parents had their own rooms. We loved the kitchen, screened-in porch and of course the hot tub. Would we have been a little more comfortable in a 3bdr somewhere else? Possibly. But the novelty of staying there was very worth it to us for a bucket list trip. We only had 1 park day planned (half the group to Epcot and the other to HS) and I think we did it right. This way we had a lot of time to enjoy the cabin, WL pools, etc. We made breakfast everyday in the cabin (eggs, bacon, muffins, bagels etc) thanks to a Whole Foods delivery and ordered in pizza from Flippers another night. This definitely helped us not only budget a bit better, but allowed us to really enjoy being together in the cabin. If I can figure out how to post pics, we had Cabin 8009 and it was FAB. Fireworks view was better than expected and we were not too far from the amenities, but not on top of Geyser Point/pool like some other cabins felt. Just wanted to give a little plug for the cabins. Except I am now worried about future trips when our parents turn to us and ask where the private hot tub is!!

Noticing something strange when trying to extend my CCV booking next October beyond 9th….all types of rooms booked out Including all cabins.I am very curious. This looks to have been done across the system rather than from ‘walkers’.

Is CC/WL still doing in-room dining? Does anyone have a current menu? I'm looking to order my teen a pizza one night while his dad and I go for a fancier meal.

It was a gliche; it has been fixed now.

Unfortunately, not at this time. You could always do a mobile order from Roaring Fork and pick it up and bring it back to the room for him before you go out.

Or depending on the room you will be in, you could get a frozen pizza from the shop downstairs and they can bake it.

You could order pizza from offsite, they deliver to the resorts, you just need to meet them in the lobby. I've heard a lot of recommendations for Flippers, although I've never tried them.

Just wanted to give a shout out to Whispering Canyon Cafe. We had a lot of table service meals during our trip, and most of them were underwhelming. Whispering Canyon however, was one of three exceptions during our trip that was excellent. If you are a meat and potatoes type like me, or just enjoy "country" food, give it a try!

Consider a guaranteed week if you book studios - can always back out of that week and get the points. Check out the fixed/guaranteed week thread.
Break up your contracts into 2 contracts: 150-100 (if new member) for example. Closing costs are a little higher, but easier to downsize in the future and smaller point contacts are easier to sell.
