Have a great time at the Lodge! Are you doing any kind of trip report? Would love to follow along! WL is on my bucket list if I can ever tear myself away from the Epcot area resorts!

Just got off the phone with reservations. Was told that the boardwalk no longer offers childcare on site. Does anyone know if this is true? My kids always loved the daycare facility at the boardwalk. Is it gone?

I believe that is correct. The WDW website provides the following places as on-site child care:

Children's Activity Centers are located at select Resort hotels.

Locations include:
•Simba's Cubhouse at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge
•Never Land Club at Disney's Polynesian Resort
•Cub's Den at Disney's Wilderness Lodge
•Sandcastle Club at Disney's Beach Club Resort
•Camp Dolphin at Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel

Bummer. OK thanks.

Bummer. OK thanks.

FWIW, Beach Club and Dolphin are both very nearby. Otherwise, if you're planning a dinner at AKL, WL, or Poly, the kids clubs at those resorts are good and convenient for where you are dining.

Ooh. We're eating at FF next week on Thursday. I always get fish, but DD loves steak. I'll share your recommendation. I'm sure your little guy will enjoy the Beach Club kids club.

Also agree the NY strip at FF is easily one of the top steaks on property. Perfectly cooked char from the open flame every time I've had it. Don't worry, their fish dishes are excellent as well!

Can you guys tell me where the closest Target/Wal-Mart is to the BW? I'd prefer Target, but if Wal-Mart is closer...

We shopped at this Target last year in October.

3200 Rolling Oaks Blvd
Kissimmee, FL, 34747-3052
(321) 677-3971

It was so cold the week we were there, we needed a few more long sleeve shirts.

It was a very short drive from the Wilderness Lodge.

Anyone have the August entertainment schedule yet? (movies and such)

First, while I am disappointed that I could not get my reservation at WL for my last 2 nights, I was able to book a studio at BWV!! with a 30% discount!!

This now means that I will be staying 1 night at AKL-Kidani and the next 5 nights at Boardwalk Villas!! Very exciting!

So sorry you couldn't get WL.

I had decided we might upgrade to CL when the RO discounts came out but there were no Std CL @ Poly for our dates but WL CL and BWI were so we decided to book BWI.

Very excited to be returning to BWI this will be our 3rd stay at BWI but 1st CL!

Any fridge reports from this week?

Any fridge reports from this week?

We're checking in tomorrow and I will report on our room after we're in. I'm hopeful we'll have a refrigerator. If we don't get one, they've said their store our cold stuff in the bell services refrigerator. I ended up just ordering one thing from Garden Grocer that needs refrigeration. I'll put my soda on ice and hope the room stays cool enough for my fruit.
