We bring a french press. I am a coffee snob.

Welcome, you will love the WL! I can't wait for our August trip!

Is there a running trail ?

@Wood Nymph answered your question... but just wanted to say that in my opinion as a runner that trail closure really makes WL less appealing to some degree. Like with anything we make do, but it certainly provided for a lot more running/walking/recreation options when it was open.

In case helpful, this was 6 miles a couple of years ago. I don’t recall exactly how many “laps” this was but it was several, plus some fun parking lot time. Not a terrible run but I get bored with repetition so would prefer to be able to go out/back somewhere if I had a choice.

Hope that helps!

Splash pad at Wilderness Lodge closing for refurbishment late February 2022

At Wilderness Lodge, the water play area at the Copper Creek Springs Pool closes today, reopening in early March 2022.

 

[Ladcassidy]

Has anyone seen or heard any updates on the refurbishment plans for Boulder Ridge?

 

[ChipTheRescueRanger]

Stupid question for early/late entry to Magic Kingdom I assume the boots run to get you in before opening and after close ?

 

[Wood Nymph]

The MK boat has been running one hour before opening and will keep running until one hour after park closing.

Thanks. For MK early entry is Bus or boat better ?

We like the boat. They usually have a second boat behind the first boat waiting to load everybody for park open. And ECVs load a lot faster on the boat than on the bus.

So excited for our first stay at CCV in April!

Hmm.. unless I had missed prior announcements about this (maybe I did?) - that sure isn't very much notice.

I actually checked the website under both CCV and WL and neither had a notice posted. This is the only information for both with no mention of any work to be done…

We have a stay coming in March. Are there boats run to Contemporary anymore? Or are they closed currently? If so, does anyone know the route?
Also, what time does the first boat leave for 8:30 early entry at MK? 7:30 or 8?

Unfortunately the WL-FW-CR resort boat has yet to return. :-(

As far as the first MK boat, it’s generally around an hour before early park entry (ignore any Disney info you see about boat times, it’s notoriously wrong).

Hope that helps.
