You, of all people, have never done CP.... Pre-park opening?
Be at the turnstile by 7:45 (I'm assuming your ADR is at 8:10). Enjoy the early morning peacefulness of MK. It is something that can not be duplicated.
(I do feel honored that I answered your question!)
Cobbler!!! We're almost there!!,
Yes, me of all people have never done a pre-park opening ADR (hangs head in shame). We shall be at the turnstile promptly at 0745 - thank you so much!
For the past few months I kept thinking about the WL. The day after Christmas I booked our upcoming trip to WDW and ended up booking the CSR. Well I should have known better. Thursday I finally gave into temptation, called WDW and changed my resort from the CSR to my favorite resort in WDW... Yepper, that would be the WL.
Our dates are 11/29 - 12/5. This is going to be the first time we will not have concierge but did book it with a courtyard view. We are also going to be on the DxDP for the first time and looking forward to that. I cannot wait to see the WL again with all the Christmas decorations.
We knew you'd finally come around - you can only resist temptation so long
. DxDP, huh? Well, we'd love to hear about some of your ADRs
. I'll add you to the Lodgers' Log and BTW, congratulations on your amazing weight loss
Just booked my stay at Wilderness Lodge for October 19th-24th 2014, club level!!!! It will be my 6th trip and 3rd time staying at WL. Just can't stay away!! It will be my dd's first time staying in WL, she will be 3 by the time we go. Can't wait to do the story time in front of the big fireplace with her
. It will also be the first time we are there for Halloween. So excited to do Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party
Edit: oops!! Just realized this is a 2013 thread. Still excited nonetheless. Haha
Welcome! 2013 only refers to when the new thread was posted. Feel free to discuss anything WL/VWL/WDW-related here. We have dates in our Lodger's Log for 2014 so I'd be happy to add you to the first page.
The lobby story time isn't listed in the monthly activity sheet that I have hyperlinked on the first page. But, I can find out more for you in 17 days!
We are getting ready to leave for our first stay at the WL. Many thanks to all of you for the advice. This will be our 5th summer trip in a row, and too many others to count, but I still get excited just like my very first time at WDW!
How exciting! I hope you had an easy trip and are all settled in and enjoying your vacation. I get really excited, too and talk about it everyday
and then I can't believe it when we're finally there
What time is the storytelling in front of the fireplace? I don't recall seeing/hearing about this the last time we were there. Going Sept 14-21.
I don't recall ever seeing it either. I did a quick search and couldn't find a recent reference to it so I'll ask in person in 17 days if someone doesn't post sooner about it.
I'm heading in 16 days for my Honeymoon. The last 2 weeks of the trip we will be at WL. I was a bit hesitant at first due to the lack of theme park access (compared to the BWI, the first resort of our stay), that is, until I saw how quick the WL Ferry was compared to the T&T centre ferry.
Is the ferry regular or is there 20 minute waiting times? As it seems quick enough that getting the ferry followed by the monorail seems like a reasonable way to get to Epcot.
Welcome and what a perfect spot for a Disneymoon! Your vacation sounds wonderful
. The Blue Flag boat goes to both Ft. Wilderness and Contemporary. From the CR, you can walk to the MK. You can also take the Red Flag boat (it's not one of those large ferries that goes from the TTC to MK) directly to the MK. There is also a non-stop bus. I have never seen a line for the MK bus, but there will be lines for boats and other buses. All WDW transportation arrives and departs in 20 minute intervals - give or take. There is more transportation information on the first page.
I have lots of updated pics of WL and Old Faithful Club from our June trip in my trip report link is below in my signature
Just booked a trip for Sept. 25 to Oct 2nd!! Staying club level for the first time here and very excited. We have stayed club level at GF,BWI,YC and have BC booked for December.
My husband loves the lodge for a quiet vacation and he is looking forward to trying something different for food at the Lodge. I will be reading here daily now to gather any information I can on the club level!!!!
Welcome from the BWI thread! I'll add you to our Lodgers' Log.
You're going to love the Old faithful Club. The lounge seating area is large and cozy and the view out to the geyser, pool and Bay Lake is just beautiful. The CMs and CL manager are top notch
