Just back from weekend stay at WL

[lorasmom]

We just returned from a weekend trip to WL. The lodge was beautiful - the Christmas decorations were stunning, and exactly what I was looking forward to on this trip.

The boats were convenient, we took one to MK the first night, and one to the CR the next morning to catch the Monorail to Poly for breakfast. No problems there, but we did miss the convenience of being on the monorail loop.

The rooms were pretty tiny for us, with 3 kids. We did have a bunkbed room, which worked great for my 2 older ones, but with the crib for the baby, it was cramped. I'm not a picky girl, and would have no problem with tight quarters, but when you're paying the deluxe rate, it's nice to have some extra wiggle room

We had a courtyard view, which I really enjoyed. We did not really care for Roaring Forks (limited menu), and did not dine at WCC or AP, so I can't comment on that.

While it was lovely, I doubt we'll stay there again... I will, however, come back to see the Christmas decorations!!

How are the crowds this time of year?

I've only been once, in September, so I got pretty spoiled.
No crowds. But I love Christmas at Disneyland so want to
see the decorations at the World.

I didn't think the crowds were too bad, but we only did MVMCP and EPCOT. During MVMCP we were able to walk right on several rides, including BTMRR. The only reason we went this time of year was for the Party and decorations - I live near the World, so we don't get much of "winter" around these parts.... this definately got me more in the spirit of Christmas!

Size of the rooms at WL are one of the reasons why the cost is more reasonable there than at other resorts. Both AKL and WL have smaller rooms than most of the other deluxe resorts. For us, with 2 adults and a 9 yr old the rooms are fine ... but we can really tell a difference in size between WL and YC.

Congrats on the great trip! We enjoyed the WL, but also felt that the rooms were small.

Glad you had a nice time! We will be there this weekend - can't wait!!
