Thank you both! :goodvibes @jacquelinemc The BB offer available to us was: 35% off Deluxe Villas, 35% off Deluxe Resorts, and 30% off Moderate Resorts. (Based on non-discounted price for the same room and excludes: 3-BR villas, campsites, AoA resort, and the Villas at GF.) The valid dates remaining in 2014 are: today 4/28-5/22, 7/28-8/2, 8/17-10/4, 10/17-11/6, 11/9-11/21, and 12/11-12/23. :goodvibes

Thank you so much! Great offer-hope I can use it! We travel this July/August and are hoping for BB dates extending into 2015 for our next trip. Did you also have the option to choose free dining over the room discount? With our son turning 10 that will be a big jump for us!
 
:blush: That's exactly what I meant! We will be going back in October for our BB stay, and if there aren't "new" BB offers out by then, then that means we won't be able to take advantage of another BB before the end of 2014. Sorry I wasn't very clear! I'm VERY happy with a 35% discount!!! ::yes:: :laughing:

:cool1: my bad!

I would hope by Oct the bounce back will include next year! :thumbsup2
 
We are considering WL for our December 2014 visit. I know it's one of the most beautiful resorts during the holidays, but how are the overall crowd levels after dec 12? I want to avoid the pop warner crowds, but is there time to visit before the big holiday crowds arrive?

Our WL Christmas stay was during Pop (12/5 and after?). Check my signature. Anyway, at WL we had no issues. Only saw Pop kids while we were at AK one day. I wouldn't be concerned.
 

Hi y'all! :wave2: We came home earlier today after spending 2 nights at WL for the first time, and let me just tell you... WE ARE HOOKED!!! Of course, those of you who've already stayed there before knew that would probably happen! ;) We arrived Friday afternoon - check-in was a breeze, since we'd already completed the online check-in. We had booked a woods view room and requested a high floor prior to check-in. We were put in room 6106 - 6th floor, across the hall from ice/vending, and around the corner from the elevators. Our view was trees and some of the villas - pretty much what we expected. The staff was wonderful and made us feel right at home. We had breakfast at WCC twice - MT was our server both mornings, and we absolutely loved her! We were celebrating our son's 15th birthday, and she was a riot with him! The food was good, and we will definitely go again and request to be seated in her section. DH and I had dinner at Artist Point last night - just the two of us - and it was, by far, the best meal we've had at WDW to date. Our server, Keith, was exceptional - really spent a lot of time with DH and the Scotch and Bourbon selections. They bonded quite well. :rolleyes: We will definitely return, and we will ask for Keith again, too. Just wonderful! We only spent about an hour at the pool, but we really enjoyed it. The only "complaint" I have is that there weren't enough chairs available. We were only there to swim for a short time, so it all worked out fine - but if we'd have wanted to spend more time there, that would have been mildly frustrating. Not a big deal in the big picture, though! We loved WL so much that we booked another stay in October with the BB offer! We will be staying in a 1Q/BB with a courtyard view, and I can't wait!!! :hyper: So, would you please add us to the list again? October 24-26, 2014!

I'll be there in August! It's our first time @ a deluxe hotel! We have a woods view as well! I've been hearing so many great things about WL! They say Whispering Canyon was very good too! My boys 14 & 12 will love the pool! I'll make sure to get there early for chairs! I'm so excited!

I can't imagine them not being out by then for 2015...they were out when we stay in Nov for the following year. We're in the same boat.
 
Yesterday was (finally) our 180 day mark! Being that we wanted to try lots of F&W foods + enjoy the club level snacks, we only booked our favorite dinner - Ohana on Halloween night. Happy to have that booked!

We're still far away but there's something about that 180 day mark that makes you feel just a little more excited for the trip!!
 
If you do online check-in ahead of time, do you get your room number at that time or is that something only given when you arrive at the resort? I didn't know if they already knew your # if you would get it then... :)

Not until you arrive at the resort

You're welcome - hope you can use it, too! :goodvibes There was no offer of Free Dining made to us, but as an APholder, I think the room discount will almost always be better for us anyway. I've got everything crossed for you!!!

YAY!!! I hope you love it just as much as, if not more than, we did!!! :cool1:
 
Thank you! Crossing everything!!! :goodvibes

Hey everyone! We just decided we are going to stay at the WL CL for our 10 year anniversary in Nov. We are doing a split stay, half will be at AoA, as a surprise to our kids!! We have been to WL twice to visit friends who were staying there, but it will be our first time staying there! We are very excited!! I'm looking forward to planning with all of you!

We are not planning to do Disney next year (which would be our 10th), but we are at WL this summer instead! ;-)

AW!!! We're going this year and celebrating our 8th! (wedding and 14th year together overall)... :flower3:

We are in the same boat, hoping that when we are at the WL in late October that there is a BB offer for 2015 dates. Our Oct stay was booked with a BB offer back in Dec. Our annual passes will expire on Nov 30th, so we won't be able to get an AP discount, either. But we have gotten some good general public discounts, so I'm sure something will work out. :)
 
Hi everyone! We are staying in a deluxe studio 6/26-7/8. Should we request a certain location? It's myself, DH and DD 9. We have more DVC family staying at Boardwalk. Haven't stayed at WL since our honeymoon in 1999. Very excited! Last stay was in Nov. 2012 at Bay Lake. We have annual passes and are considering Tables in Wonderland over dining plan. I never eat the desserts, lol. Just did all our fastpasses and dining has been set for a while. I've never been at this very busy time of year, any advice is appreciated!
