"The 407 Wilderness Cabins (WC) are about 12' x 42'. There is a wood deck outside, with a picnic table and a charcoal grill. Inside, the cabins are laid out as follows: starting at one end: bedroom with with double bed, bunk beds, a nightstand, a chest of drawers, separate vanity with wall-mounted hairdryer, closet space; full bathroom with tub/shower; hall closet; full kitchen with amenities listed below; living area with color television and a VCR, a dining table that seats six, sofa, kids table and two chairs, pull-down Murphy bed, window seats, telephone, locked cabinet (safe)."

Just to let you know...the hair dryer is wall mounted in the vanity area of the bedroom. Its not in the bathroom. If you want to use it while someone is still sleeping in the bedroom you will be out of luck. Also, I found the bedroom to be dark. Maybe its just me, but it would have been a pain to try and use it.

Yes, the lighting in the cabins isn't that great. There is a light at the vanity where the blow dryer is. But only one person can stand there. There is another mirror in the bathroom (small). And another mirror on the back of the door in the bedroom. But the hallway and bedroom are dark.

We just got back yesterday from our stay in the cabin. Let me know if you need any more info.

Plan for an hour trip to MK if you're using Disney transportation. The boat ride itself takes 35 minutes from dock to dock (this info was given to me by the CM who drove the boat).

First, you have to walk from your cabin to the bus stop. Depending on how far your cabin is, it can take awhile. Ours was the furthest from the end of the loop and it was about a 5 minute walk to the bus stop. Then you have to wait for the bus. They say the buses run every 20 minutes (I think they come faster than that). So, if you just miss a bus, you can possibly wait 20 minutes for the next one. The bus ride to the stop near the dock isn't too long, just a couple of minutes. Then you have to walk from the bus stop to the dock. That's about another 5 minutes. Then you have to wait for the boat. If you just missed the boat, then you will have a long wait. I'm sure they run more than one boat at a time. I think we waited around 15 minutes for our boat (we just missed the one before). Then the boat ride itself is 35 minutes (the boat stops at Wilderness Lodge along the way). The walk from the dock to the gates is just a few minutes. But remember you will have to wait in line to have your bags searched, so that can take a while. If you have to get a stroller, that will take some time, too.

If you have a car, just drive it to MK instead. You still have to take the tram from the parking lot, then the boat/monorail from TTC to MK, but I think it's faster.
