Awesome. Thanks for letting me know. Champagne will be great for our mom n me trip, last semester of college and her birthday.
Enjoy the rest of the trip with your mom. Glad it worked out.Our room move went smoothly, and we are in a room just past the elevator...We have a view of construction, but also of the monorail, canal with boats, CR, the castle, and the Main Street train station, and at night we will be able to see fireworks
My mom is much happier with the open balcony and we are just a little ways from the elevator. She was a little worried about construction noise, but she napped right through it this afternoon...As did I
The standard view rooms include the rooms that overlook the lobby, the rooms that are down near the boat dock, and the rooms in between. All of the rooms that face toward the Contemporary and Magic Kingdom right now are standard view rooms during the construction period. The WL is a compact resort, so even the rooms that are furthest from the lobby aren't very far away.

I'm really excited now for WL especially after seeing those room views in standard. However they will probably get recategorized. Is there a place on the ground like by that building where we can see the fireworks?
The beautiful fireworks view was from room 5030 in the north wing of the main Wilderness Lodge building.
Thank you so much for creating this!!With the ongoing construction closing the South Wing and confusion over which rooms are available with only the two current bookable view categories at WL, I went ahead and created a temporary modified room location map showing how bookable views have been assigned during the construction project, and which rooms are closed. I should have done this earlier, and it will likely change in the future, but this is the current situation as we understand it.
It's great to actually visualize it.
No problem. The original map is on one of the first pages of this thread, along with a lot of useful info.Thank you so much for creating this!!

You really can't go wrong. The only set of elevators is in the middle of the wing, and they let you out by Roaring Fork on the first floor. There is a staircase that you can access at the end of the wing to go down to the first floor and then the boat dock is just East of the end of the wing. You could request near boat dock, but then you are further from the buses. I'd probably go with near the elevators to balance the walk, but it isn't much different. Also be aware that the top floor has enclosed balconies, so for the East portion of the wing that is the 6th floor, so you can't see out while seated. Many people prefer the open balconies because of this.
There was a kids club in the South wing on the second floor, but it closed with the construction. We don't know when it will reopen.
Will this still be applicable in May? The South wing being closed? We are booked for courtyard view and am wondering what should be my room request if we want a high floor but with a full balcony and view of the big pool???With the ongoing construction closing the South Wing and confusion over which rooms are available with only the two current bookable view categories at WL, I went ahead and created a temporary modified room location map showing how bookable views have been assigned during the construction project, and which rooms are closed.

The south wing isn't expected to be finished until later in the year or maybe even in 2018. The wing will be DVC units rather than regular resort rooms.
