Yay! I kept checking all day yesterday and nothing, and then about an hour ago, Boom! Courtyard View opened up! I love my CV room... I don't mind the noise from the pool, I love the views and being able to see EWP
Yippee - it pays to be persistent
Howdy!!!
I just booked a return visit to WL today. We stayed in a bunk bed room there in November 2012 for my son's first trip. It was my husband and myself, my then 3 year old son and my then 16 year old daughter. This trip will be a mother/son trip which I am so excited about. We are booked in standard view room from August 24th-28th. Kook and posters here were such a huge help last time. I'm so glad to be heading back "home".
Howdy!
A mother-son trip sounds wonderful and I'll log your dates in POST 1.
So excited to be heading back to WL Aug 21-28th after staying at BC and YC the last 2 years. Thanks to
bounce back offer
Free Dining for us.
Congratulations on booking and I'll log your dates, too.
So are there standard view rooms that have bunks? We would like to have one, but I know it's not a bookable category with standard view! Is it something people can request and hope to get? Thanks
The Standard View booking category does have some bunks, however, it's the only category where you can't actually book the bunk, they're by-request only. Just call the WDTC/CRO and have the request added to your reservation.
I'm looking forward to returning to WL in May! My husband, daughter and I will be there 5/20 - 5/24. My first and only stay there was 10 years ago when our kids were 12 and 14. We had a bunk bed room which worked out great at the time for the extra available space in the room.

Welcome back, it's been a long time. I'll add your dates to the Lodgers' Log
Just booked a Studio at WLV never stayed here before but looking for any tips or pointers !

We are going Sept 11- 15th !
Sounds like a great time of year to go and let us know if you have any questions. I'll put your dates in POST 1.
So happy and excited that my reservation is now confirmed and I'm returning to WL CL 17-24 November. Love love love feeling so chilled and relaxed, it's really a very special place and I'm grateful to Kook for introducing me to the fabulous WL through this great thread.
Quick question though please as my last stay I didn't really use the boat at night due to my only have a very short stay, I seem to remember posts about spiders and other horrible things that would come out onto the boat at night

Please tell me this isn't true.
Now that it's official, I'll log your dates
We just booked at WL 9/6-9/13!!!! This will be our first time staying here so very excited! We did stay in the cabins at FW one year but didn't have time to explore the restaurants or sing-a-long with Chip & Dale. This time I planning some time to go over and eat at Trails End and do the campfire since we will be right next door! Also looking forward to trying out the restaurants at WL and the kids club for a date night

It will be me, DH, and DS (3)!
Congratulations on booking your first visit. We really like Trail's End, particularly for breakfast and you might want to try Territory Lounge on your date night
Yay, we booked our first trip to WL for June 18-22! We love the lodge and always do dinner at Whispering Canyon Cafe regardless of where we stay, so we finally booked it for our 10th anniversary trip! We were going to do a Moderate this time around, but I think CR spoiled us last visit and when we got a summer discount code, we pulled the trigger on another deluxe. Cannot wait!
Happy Almost Anniversary! It's so hard not staying Deluxe when you're used to it, if for no other reason than the multiple transportation options (except for AKL). But, it is nice that all the Mods. have queen beds now. I'll log your dates
This is an amazing thread, thanks to everyone who participates and answers questions!
We arrive at VWL soon - March 28th! We are there for just 5 days, dining and fastpasses booked. We are a group of 15 in total - 9 adults and 6 kids. We have booked 2- 2 bedroom villas and one studio villa ... is there a way for us to request rooms close together? And any recommendations overall on room requests?
My other question would be around the kitchen and what to bring ... I think I read it is a drip coffeemaker so filters and coffee from home might be a good idea for the picky coffee drinker. Any other thoughts?
Thank you!
Welcome to the thread!
Only 10 more days and what a big group. Are you all doing ADRs together? Make sure that you call the WDTC/CRO right now and have them link the 3 reservations (they'll need last names and confirmation
numbers). This way, the Room Assignor will see that you are all together and will try to either put you close together, the same floor, adjoining and/or connecting, if possible.
4 days and counting down before we check in to the Wilderness Lodge!! If anyone would like me to check anything out, let me know. We're spending some down time at the resort to enjoy all the amenities. Really looking forward to the Territory Lounge and hoping it is warm enough to spend some time lounging at the pool. We're also going to explore Fort Wilderness - a first for us. And maybe even rent the sea racers - it's been on my Disney wish list for a long time. Got my fingers crossed that the weather cooperates!!
Your trip is almost here! Just a reminder that you can order entrees and kids' meals from Artist Point at TL

. I highly recommend FW and Sea Raycers - so much fun!
We love Territory Lounge and spending time at Fort Wilderness.
