Just back from WL..........

[Gooofy-Blade]

...had another great year at WL. (9-4 to 9-10)We didn't get any upgrade -not sure if it was because of the trainee CM or just no openings. We were initially not thrilled with our view - the loading area - but came to realize that we really didn't plan to be in the room alot anyway. The room, 4060, was very inconvenient to any elevators. We may have had the opportunity to change later in the week but it didn't seem worth it to repack, etc. Anyway, everything else went great. The lodge is such a relaxing resort. IMO, the crowds were up over the past Sept and we definitely saw a significant increase on Friday -the beginning of the Night of Joy.

We had no transportation problems with the boats but the buses to MGM were VERY slow. We connected via boat monorail to Epcot and also used the bus there as well with no problems. WCC was worth the visit again as well.

Overall, I would probably try harder for a better room next year but the vacation was great..........as was the free dining. I don't think I've ever eaten that much before. Yes, I do think the free dining increased attendance for this time of year.

Glad to hear you had a wonderful stay. I just love the WL. We have also always expereinced pretty good bus service there with the exception with the bus to MGM. I love the direct bus to MK now. I still like to take the boat every now and then just because it is so relaxing. We were there in June and I am already looking forward to our trip next year. If only I were sitting in the lodge lobby right now. Oh well, one can dream!
