Split stay between Boulder Ridge and Copper Creek?

No @JerseyGirl had stayed years ago in the The Villas at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge which has now been renamed Boulder Ridge in late 2016.

Is it possible when you have a Nature view room that it could also open to the lobby? I would love to see the Christmas tree when I open my door. ( even if only for a day or two)

The rooms overlooking the lobby are nature view rooms. We usually request a room overlooking the lobby when we book a nature view room

Thanks, Sue! I think I will add that to my usual high floor request.

Is there any way of over riding the motion sensor on the ac at WL ?

We call Maintenance and have them do it. We need a cold room to sleep.

Yesterday was my last day of work.
Today is my first day of retirement.
We check into the Wilderness Lodge tomorrow.
We planned this trip before I decided to retire and it turns out to be the prefect way to decompress. I haven't started to pack at all because I have been so busy with work. But I have all day to do it for the first time since the 1980's. This is great.

Congrats on your retirement! A you already know the WL is a great resort to enjoy a slower pace while being just around the corner from the craziness of the rest to WDW.

I hope the time between now and September 27th passes quickly and without too much stress.
It seemed like forever between the time I told my boss that I wanted to retire and the day that it finally happened.

 

[Nvrgrowup]

Thank you for your kind words. It still seems a little surreal. I am looking forward to some new adventures. All the best!!

Congratulations on your retirement! In my opinion, there is no better way to celebrate than a trip to Disney. Enjoy!

Under two weeks to go until we're back!

I've been tossing around our plans for arrival day and we think we're going to let the kids swim and use the splash pad for a bit while we wait on other family members to make their way to the resort from the airport. We do have a 4pm dinner reservation, so I'd really like to be able to shower before that even if our room isn't ready. How are the showers at the gym? Will we have any issues using them to take quick showers?

Hi. My family and I just returned from an 8 night stay at WL.
Here are some pros and cons.

Pros: we had rooms 6048, 6050 and 6052 - all overlooking MK, Contemporary and Space Mountain with views of the nightly fireworks.
Lobby area was clean and open.
Transportation to the parks was timely and the MDE app shows the bus times which was very helpful.
Roaring Fork was good for breakfast and snacks.

Cons: rooms feel dated, dingy and in need of soft goods updating
Roaring Fork - beverage machine broke down several times during busy breakfast hours; crowded and noisy
I had a package sent to the hotel and was going to get it myself at the front desk. They delivered it to my room and charged $6.00. More than I had paid for the item I had shipped....

Our last trip to WDW in 2018 was at the Yacht Club and GF (split) and I found myself longing to be at YC most of the time.

Anyone know if WL is scheduled for updates to rooms and Roaring Fork?

Thanks!
