So is the main pool getting a rehab AND the kiddie pool becoming a splash playground (which would be cool so we no longer hafta watch little ones dive head first into the kiddie pool, come up screaming while dear parents are idkk where) or is one or the other pool being refurbed?

Have we called the pool folks ?

Heading to the WL for the first time for our 1 year anniversary in October (we honeymooned at BWI last year.) We will be there from October 25th until Nov 2nd!!

Whew!!! Just spent the last few days reading all 209 pages of this thread. A little introduction. My name is Denise, and me and my family are huge WL fans! It's our favorite resort on site, and we've stayed there around 6-7 times now. We typically visit Disney once or twice a year, around once every 7-9 months. Our last visit was Thanksgiving of last year and we stayed at POR for that trip. Large family trip (25 of us) and $$ won out in the long run with most of our travel companions. Oh how I missed our WL that trip. Now we have no plans for a Disney trip in the near future and I am missing WL as much as I am missing Disney in general. This thread really gave me a good "fix".

A few things I read that I didn't know about. One of those things is this "pail surprise" you can get delivered to your room from room service? We've ordered room service at WL a few times, but I don't remember ever seeing that item listed. I would love to know what it is, what comes in it?

Also, Kook, where and when did you get that awesome red Mickey luggage? I absolutely LOVE it. And thanks for making this such an amazing and welcoming place to hang out. This has to be one of the friendliest groups of folks here on the Dis. I love how you guys almost seem more like family than message board acquaintances.

Here's hoping to planning a trip to WDW and my beloved WL in the near future. "My living room" on the fourth floor has been calling my name lately. Hope it's been well taken care of in my absence. LOL.

This IS the best thread on the DIS, IMHO. It satisfies the WL fix nicely. Kook does a pretty good job oc keeping us in line.

DH took a walk down each floor last trip and your living room on the 4th was pretty perfect!

Here's hoping you 're back soon!

Hello,

I had posted about the Snack Pail Surprise. All it says is that it is "a sand pail full of treats. $15.00

Maybe someone who is there can give private dining a call and find out what "treats" they are.

And if it is still on the menu as this was from February.

Greetings from NYC! I am so excited to be returning back to WDW for the 8th (?) time! been going since I was 3! This is the first time I'm staying at a deluxe hotel in over ten years and I'm so thrilled. My boyfriend is excited too.

We are staying at the Wilderness Lodge from 9/26-10/04. I have never visited so this is a big first for me

Do you think we'll hit bad luck with the pool? Should I call the resort and ask? What state will the hotel be in around that time? We don't have kids and we barely used the pool last year at Pop Century because we were too busy going to parks. It's not a HUGE loss, but a sad one because we were really excited about the stay during Halloween season.

We booked a courtyard view. Any tips or favorite spots that I can put in towards courtyard specific requests? Definitely let me know. I am going in kind of blindly, but I'm happy to follow along with this board to prep me just a little.

Thank you for all your help and i'm soooo excited

Do you guys ever watch vloggers? I do on a variety of subjects including some who have done vlogs from WDW.

While watching one vlogger I saw a link to Seeyareelsoon. A very cute couple who visit WDW a lot. I've been watching them for about a year.

Any way their latest vlog may be interesting to the Lodgers.

My kids want to watch "Disney videos" every night since we told them about our upcoming August trip and we found Seeyareelsoon also. We've watched several of their videos now and saw their most recent one on Wednesday. Can't wait for next Wednesday's video now!

So the pool closure/rehab, seems to be between bad and real bad. Our trip is planned for Sept 21-28, anybody have any idea what shape the pool will be in around this time???

From everything I'm reading here, no one knows. The start date is maybe after Labor Day. The end date is ??? No one knows (except WDW) what the rehab entails.

They are just so cute! Thank you. I'm sitting here at work and when she realized she was going to the Lodge I teared up. Yes, I'm mushy like that.

I wonder if the boat ride to MK will be affected?

Greetings to everyone!

We are 32 days out from out 2nd trip to Disney and the OFC at Wilderness Lodge! I've been busying setting and changing ADRs and Fastpass+ reservations and I finally think I have things just exactly like I want them.....besides adding about two extra weeks on to the trip!

We are thinking about getting a pizza one night. I know that there is a pizza delivery service at WL but that it is expensive. Are there any other options that would deliver to the Lodge? Is that even allowed? Thanks!
