Good morning WDWKook! Can you add me to the Lodgers Log from a VWL studio 12/6-8? I'm trying for the 5th as well, but they're not kidding when they say the 1st week of December is the busiest DVC time. I'm there for a week & have each night covered in a DVC studio - 4 different ones! Waitlisting & stalking the Availability Tool constantly!
Never stop stalking
- stalking can pay off. People cancel and change reservations all the time, so don't give up. I'll log your dates and let me know when you get the 5th
Three weeks from today we'll be checking in for 8 days! I can't wait to get back, 10 + yrs since our last visit to the lodge!
You're going to have such a big smile when you walk into the lobby!
Enjoying our stay here! Really like our 4th floor room off the lobby...no view on the outside but great view on the inside. Enjoyed the pool a couple of days. Got one of the old signature drinks at the Trout Pass Bar called the Lodge Fizz. The bartenders (very nice) could not remember the ingredients for the Lumberjack lol. Used the Territory Lounge a couple of mornings for coffee, fruit and croissants. We talked to David who asked us what we thought of this morning option. He was open to suggestions and was great to talk to. We also stopped in there our first night for appetizers and drinks.
I don't want to leave tomorrow!!

Thank you for your update and I hope you had a safe trip home.
Hey Kook, just because I'm down here now, the laundry room in the resort is not key card locked (anyone can open the door.). The machines are all now credit/debit only and $2.50 per load.
Thank you and I hope you're having a great stay. They were converting to the credit card machines when I was there in April and I couldn't take photos because they were closed. But, I did post the CR laundry photos here since they had already been converted. The only locked laundry rooms are the DVC ones, although sometimes even they aren't locked
Kook can you add 20 year anniversary to us on the list. Aug 7
Thanks!
I sure can - congrats!
Just booked our trip today! This is the shortest time I have ever had to prepare, so I am trying to book ADRs, FP+, stroller rental, etc. asap! Fun and exciting. We won't tell the kids until the Magic Bands show up this week or next! Our dates are 6/24-6/29. It's me, DH, DS6, and DD2. We loved WL so much last year and I got the unique code for 30% off and free park hopers. This year we have a Woods View (requested near Roaring Forks). So, now I have to go back and catch up on the WL since June of last year! Anybody want to fill me in on how the pool area is for the kids? Excited to be going back! (Guess with the new boards I need to update myself!)
Welcome back! Have you got everything squared away? Did you book bunks? I'll log your dates
I'm so excited to get to stay at WL 6/26-6/29! While the rest of my family has stayed here, I have not yet had the oppurtunity. I'm joining my mom, dad, and baby sister (adult sister, but always the baby
) at the end of their vacation. I'm going down in December with my other sister, her husband and three daughters so this was all I could swing off from work. They will be driving down and spending the first half at POR. I asked if they wanted to combine the costs of two rooms at POR and head over to WL, so I could stay at this awesome resort. To sweeten the pot I chipped in a little more so we could do CL in a Deluxe room. They thought it would be great!
Can't wait to be checking out the majesty that is WL and nom noming on some CL offerings
So excited!!!
So nice of you to upgrade to the Deluxe room. You probably already know that those rooms are only on floors 1-6, none are on the CL floor. So much tasty goodness to nom-nom on
. I'll add your dates to the Log.
Please add us 7/2 - 7/6/15 for my birthday.
We are in a woods view bunk bed room. We requested near lobby. Any special floor recommendations for OCI? Have a 5 and 2 year old. Thank you!!
Congratulations on booking and I'll add your dates. Some like to request a higher North Wing room so that you can see some of Wishes. You'll have to call in that request as OCI room request choices are very limited.
We will be at VWL from 11/19-11/25. Super excited to see the resort all decorated for Christmas!!!
Have you checked out the CHRISTMASTIME chapter of the thread? I'll log your dates and happy planning
WDWKOOK or anyone who can answer, we are coming up on just under two weeks for arrival and are trying to finalize some last second things. We are arriving on June 5, and will be checking out on June 11. Do you know if they have posted an entertainment schedule for WL for June yet? Also we placed our Garden Grocer order, but instead of being able to schedule a two hour block it only allowed a 4 hour block, which we selected as the 12 to 4 block. We don't get to the airport until noon and my guess is we won't get to WL until 2 or 2:30. Will WL store the cold items, or should I change the GG order to a later block, even though we will be in the Park? Lastly do you know what kind of coffee maker the rooms have? Is it a Keurig type pod, or just a regular old fashion coffee filter? Thanks for your help in answering these questions.
The new recreation calendar is available online the first week of each month. The hyperlink is in POST 1.
Though I've never personally ordered, I've read that Bell Services will store your perishables in the fridge so I wouldn't change your time.
WL rooms have a Cuisinart Pod coffee maker, (DVC villas use a filter).
From the ROOM chapter:
The dormer rooms also have a sloped ceiling near the outside wall, which makes the room feel a little smaller. Other than those rooms, anywhere else should be fine. 
DDs birthday and last year was pleasantly surprised that YC inflated balloons ( i supplied some and they added more) for me. Wandering if I should just order from Disney Floral & gifts or 
not.
We just upgraded to CL for our June Trip!!!!!! SO EXCITED! We've never done CL at WL before. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
