Disney's WILDERNESS LODGE Information & Questions

[JFDIS]

Does anyone who is there now or have been recently know what movies are playing this month? I see that they traditionally have something playing on Friday and Saturdays at 8pm.

I have no reason to believe it isn't, but with the Wilderness Lodge proper still currently closed, the main pool is still operational, isn't it?

Yes, operating as normal

Yes, both pools are open.

That's so good to hear about the pool; thanks, guys! When I read that the WL itself was still closed I had a moment pf panic.

Are the lobby bars and stores open? We have an ADR at Whispering Canyon and thought we would look around while there.

Yes, they’re both open! (As well as Geyser Point Bar & Grill located along the water. Such a beautiful spot to enjoy a drink!) Enjoy!

Note that there is just one store, and if I recall correctly it's not very big.

As for restaurants and bars, according to the Disney World website:
Geyser Point is open
Roaring Fork is open
Whispering Canyon Cafe is open
Territory Lounge is open
Story Book Dining at Artist Point is closed

I think I can post this as a link and it won't get stuck in the "Disboards won't open previews correctly" issue:

Love Geyser Point! Bison burger is the best! Nothing like a nice meal and drink by the water.

Has anyone been able to sneak a peek at the refurbed deluxe rooms (CL)? Or refurbed Old Faithful Lounge? TIA!!!!

I’m more of a ‘classic cheeseburger’ kind of girl, but I agree, I thought it was great! The drinks are a bit on the strong side, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing lol Definitely a great place to relax and enjoy the view.

Did they get rid of the bunk rooms at WL? I was just hoping to switch over to the bunk rooms.

Yes, they are removing the bunk beds in the current renovation. They did the same at AKL when it was renovated recently as well.

I know bunks have their issues but it makes me a little sad - we had a couple of really fun stays at both in bunkbeds and my kids loved them.

I won't miss me worrying about my son climbing down in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom or the gobs of noise he would make doing so.

Staying at WL was my big wish for our upcoming stay in March. So sad that we're not staying there. Hope the main lodge opens up soon. But, we're using it as an opportunity to explore CBR and try out the skyliner. I think we will come over for a meal, though. Hoping to try out Geyser Point. You don't need a reservation, correct? We've eaten at Territory Lounge before and really enjoyed it!

You don't need a reservation, but it can get crowded in the evenings. It isn't usually busy at lunch time, which is when we usually eat there.

Great! Thanks for the feedback.

I was looking for recent bus experiences in the morning and couldn't find any details. So I'm posting our experience this morning for anyone interested. We were at the bus stop by 7:45am. We were the first ones there. During that time, three buses came going to Ft Wilderness. The first HS bus arrived at 8:15. The first MK bus arrived at 8:23. Those were both for 9am openings.

Last night, Aladdin was the movie playing. I didn't see a schedule posted of future movies.

Hi!
Does anyone know if the boats are running to MK from WL? Hubby and I are going to Whispering Canyon for breakfast Friday and wanted to take the boat to MK after.
TIA
