You are all so funny about this "oatmeal" thing!!!

Instead of "Where's the Beef?" - We need "Where's the Oatmeal?"

Hello everyone... Planning a trip for dec. and staying at WL (I just have to cancel our Disneyland trip and book here) anyway... Will a pack and play fit in a standard room? Do they have bed rails available? Thanks looks beautiful.., I'm sure my little ones will love it.

OK, what's the deal with the oatmeal at CL? They are the ones known to have it year-round. And it's to die for!

Reports indicate that lately there has been no hot oatmeal in CL. I'm just being a pain about it because I LOVE hot oatmeal for breakfast & am staying CL this week!

Congrats on cancer-free!!

Another trip IS just around the corner.....we're all going to WL with TaraPA!!! You do have the Yellowstone Suite booked, right? Yosemite would work, too...

If by some magical reason I end up in a suite I will open it up to all of you...have a bag packed on stand-by!
You're killin' me. I'm putting out an APB on your oatmeal...I'll get back to you on my oatmeal findings.


Well, some CLs have it year 'round so maybe WL could, too


Was that at RF? I only remember dried cranberries, brown sugar and raisins CL. How is it served at RF (just asking as back-up for TaraPA)

OMG dried cranberries, brown sugar & raisins?? I've died & gone to WL CL oatmeal Heaven!!


Let me see if I can find an OFC oatmeal schedule (stirring a pot of oatmeal...)

ROFL stirring the pot....of OATMEAL! I love it! Ya know if they don't have it later this week I'm going to have to throw Randy's name around & try & get some!!

Ya know I've been here almost 13 years & I STILL can't get multi-quoting & bolding right......

Bed rails are available, although we ended up not getting them last year for our almost three year old. A Pack and Play could fit, either next to the TV (blocking the connecting room door, if the room had one) or I have heard of them just barely fitting between the far bed and the outer wall, but there probably wouldn't be room to walk between it and the wall. We used the open space in the bathroom for stroller storage and did fine with three of us in the room. Enjoy your trip.

Also, did the reburb the Yellowstone and Yosemite suites?
DH and I are celebrating a "cancer free" trip soon and are thinking about returning to the lodge.

WL's CL is one of the TOP CL's on WDW property. Kid you not.

 

[TheLodgeLady]

I just spoke with a friend who works on the Club Level and they said that they will be serving hot oatmeal until the first day of Spring! So, if you go before then you will be good!

I hope this helps.

Recent reports have been exaggerated...I hope. Should you pack some instant oatmeal packets just in case?

Ya know I've been here almost 13 years & I STILL can't get multi-quoting & bolding right......

We won't tell

I should have known you'd be on the case!

Don't worry, my DH is RET USAF and pensions aren't affected by sequestration. He's only affected because he's a DoD civilian now. Please thank your DH for his service to our country, goofynut41

You all are too funny with the oatmeal! Thanks for my Monday giggle!

Yippeeio!

Oatmeal is serious stuff, but I do wonder if any children would care much about it over all those CL muffins and Froot Loops

 

[nyrebecca]

Thank you to TheLodgeLady and Kook for the oatmeal update!

Since we usually just go in November and sometimes in June, it looks like I will have to try and convince the family that another trip will be a great idea so that I may enjoy the oatmeal at the OFC.

Me too...clueless on the multi-quoting!

KOOK, thanks for those early morning photos of the lobby~that's my absolute favorite thing about the WL...being down there in the peace and quiet with my coffee!

Lulu'sMom: how wonderful your news of being cancer-free! A trip to Disney is a lovely way to celebrate that!

 

[aml3679]

Sorry to hear about those of you who cancelled your trips. I know how it feels. We had to cancel twice, once because we had a very sick family member who passed away. The second time was due to financial reasons. When we go this December, it will be ten years.

My husband wanted to extend our vacation for another day so we added a day at the beginning, arriving on the 4th instead of the 5th.

Besides visiting all of the parks, resort hopping, etc., we wanted a day to enjoy the lodge itself.

Day 1 we will arrive, get settled and go to Downtown Disney.

Day 2 we will relax at The Lodge and go to Cirque du Soleil and the rest of the time, we will start our adventure in the parks.

We have a Woods View. What area can I request so that we will not hear the noise from The Wispering Canyon?

Also, what is the chance of getting a king size bed.

Thank you.

CONGRATULATIONS!! The perfect place to celebrate. Keep us posted on your plans. Hope you can go all out and stay in style. ( maybe take some photos of a refurbed suite)
