(CLOSED) Disney's WILDERNESS LODGE and VILLAS Information Thread

Now if we could just get the AP discount released! Of course 2 of my dates are blacked out (10/17-18), and they were with the pin I got as well, which is making me nervous!

While I do like getting things free, including food, we will stick with our bounce back on the WL Club room we have for October. Much better discount for us.

Took me forever to change my promotion to the free dining today! I had a pin for 25% off and booked a woods view room and have been waiting 7 months for the free dining to come along. The free dining saves us $200. yay. That pays for our Seaworld tix!

My bounceback for October in WL CL is better than free dining too!

My bounceback for October in WL CL is better than free dining too!

My bounceback for December in WL WV is also better than free dining!

Just a quick question--I am hoping to book our 2013 trip pkg tomorrow. I think I posted this here before, but originally, we were hoping to stay at Poly. However, my son (and all of us) fell in love with VWL while there in June.

We used our DVC points for a one bedroom villa in June, but this time I Am hoping to just pay for it (don't want to use points). Do I just book it online and select that resort? Or is there a different process since it's in the Villas? I just want to have all of my ducks in a row!

Thanks!!

We are not DVC members, and always just call up and book it through the regular reservations phone number. I would imagine you would just do the same online....

 

[TaraPA]

Yes it's booked the same way online as any regular resort room. Once you pick the DVC resort, they will show you what's available for your dates.

Good luck tomorrow - sounds like the phone lines & website will be BUSY!!!!!

I'll be right there with you if they release AP rates thru the end of October.

I am trying to surprise DD with a SeaWorld day but, DH absolutely HATES leaving the property...so I need the least painful, yet not too expensive way to get there. He is horrible , actually grumbling right now that I brought the idea even up!!! Has anyone gone from WL? We are flying in & will not have a car. Thanks!!

marymac123, try looking at Mears transportation. They pick up from the resorts and will take you to the other parks for a flat rate. I was looking into it for another trip thinking we might spend a day at US/IOA. The trip is relatively cheap ($19, I think, for a round trip shuttle to US).

TaraPA, every time I see one of your posts, I do a double take, since my first name is Tara and I live in PA.

I wouldn't do mears taxi if I were you. We went to seaworld from cbr last year using the mears taxi and it cost us about $60 for 3 of us and it took 45 minutes there and literally 1 1/2 hrs back! I've heard the ttc ( ticket and transportation center) has a bus that will drop you off there for only a few bucks. We will be taking that to seaworld when staying at WL in nov. have fun! I love seaworld!!

I remember seeing something about all the wilderness lodge music and I went to the first page and thought I went through everything but didn't see it. Does anyone know where that info is?

 

[StitchIsOurHero]

Thanks for the info, everyone! Can't wait to book tomorrow!

There is also a Christmas one.

Thanks for the info, everyone! Can't wait to book tomorrow!

I'm glad that I use a Disney specialist TA. She will be on the phone for me (and her other clients) first thing tomorrow morning and I won't have to worry if I'll get through in time to make it to my doctor appointment that was scheduled 2 months ago before I knew the importance July 11 would hold for me.

OMG small world! I do the same thing when I see posts by "TaraD" since that's my name & last initial too!

My whole family is from central PA - what county are you in? Mine are from Northumberland & Schuylkill (I live in Northampton county near NJ).

Good luck to everyone booking 2013 today and let us know what you booked​

The link, "DOWNLOAD THE MUSIC OF WL" is in blue and it's located at the beginning of post #1 on the first page, in case anyone else is looking for it.

This time in 48 hours we will be on our way to the airport for our stay at WL CL and let me just say I am sooooo excited. This work week is going so slow..

Question are bouncebacks always in the rooms? Does anybody know when Star Wars weekends are next year, want to get my husband back for that
