LIVE from the Wilderness Lodge!!!!!!!!

Hi everyone

We have checked into our room and received a magical upgrade to a bear faced room

We were able to watch the water parade from our room and tried to watch WISHES! from the "window" but it apparently was cancelled this evening to due to strong lightening storms Oh well we'll try it again another night

Oh and we had a fun time at the WCC. Lots of antics and great food!

Tomorrow morning we will be at the MK and then an Illumination Cruise

If you have any questions please let me know

OK, now I'm jealous I hope the rest of your trip is just as Magical. Sounds like Humphrey is doing his job.

Can't wait to read more.

Sounds great.

Does the resort seem very busy? What about the parks? I just read on another thread a minute ago about a Dis-er at the CR who got upgraded to CL and also found DHS not too crazy on the 4th. I'm surprised!

Have a great trip!

so happy for you--- we will be there in 13 days and counting... how long was your wait (with an adr?) for WCC???

Enjoy the trip. I bet you're already having a hard time keeping track of details and could care less about posting them for everyone to read! Just kidding.

 

[GoofyFairie]

I hope we can see pictures! I wish we were there, we really miss "home"!
Hope you have a great trip that is filled with pixie dust!

WTG on the upgrade to the bear face room! I am so jealous! This will be our 1st time at WL, so I can't wait to hear more! Hope you had a great day at MK!

 

[mcrabeck]

Congrats on the upgrade! Would love to hear more about the Illuminations Cruise. We are trying to decide between the Illuminations or Wishes cruise. Enjoy your vacation!

Beckie - Now that you mention Humphrey....I made sure we all rubbed his nose before we checked in to our room and wow it's amazing

Sounds great.

An error was made on our original room and the CM that was helping us said there as plenty of availability Both pools this afternoon were busier than normal though We followed our TGM itinerary for just our faves and waited in no lines at all

so happy for you--- we will be there in 13 days and counting... how long was your wait (with an adr?) for WCC???

Oh I remember how long the wait felt but it is worth it We waited less than 5 minutes and we checked in about 15mins early. They were slammed busy though as even the little room on the end was in use.

Enjoy the trip. I bet you're already having a hard time keeping track of details and could care less about posting them for everyone to read! Just kidding.

I got through the last month living through the other "live" reports so I figured I'd so the same or try at least

I hope we can see pictures! I wish we were there, we really miss "home"!
Hope you have a great trip that is filled with pixie dust!

I will try to post pics later on during the trip when we slow down a bit

WTG on the upgrade to the bear face room! I am so jealous! This will be our 1st time at WL, so I can't wait to hear more! Hope you had a great day at MK!

Thanks it was awesome WL has become our fave so I'm sure you'll have a great time

Congrats on the upgrade! Would love to hear more about the Illuminations Cruise. We are trying to decide between the Illuminations or Wishes cruise. Enjoy your vacation!

We just got back and it was the most amazing experience ever I can highly recommend it We were invited by a fellow TGMer to share a cruise and I really can't write how awesome it was I'm now going to be so spoiled to see it any other way. Totally unblocked view of Illuminations, cushy boat seats, snacks, drinks, and an awesome cake topped off a fun night

Today was breakfast at Roaring Forks and then off to the MK

Other than a couple issues with our APs to start off the morning it went great! We followed our TGM itinerary and walked on all the rides with no wait We basically just saw our faves

Lunch was at the LTT. I'll do a dining review when we get back but stays on our must do list

The afternoon was spent at the pool. Much busier than usual but I"ve heard that it should get quieter as the week goes on

Then off to the Yacht Club for the Illumination Cruise. I really can't say enough about how much we enjoyed that experience. It is one we'll never forget

Tomorrow we are going to Epcot and have LeCellier planned for lunch

 

[GoofyFairie]

Sounds like you are having an awesome trip! Have an excellent day!

we love the WL. Although we have never got an upgrade. Still love it though.
Please, post pictures of your room. Would love to see what a bear face room looks like.
thanks, Sandy

Yesterday:

We spent the day at Epcot. Unfortunately we missed rope drop as we had to replace our park tickets. If you ever have to replace them at Epcot and see "Leonard" all I can stay is stear clear

We rode Soaring 2x, Nemo, Turtle Talk, Living Seas, Figment, and I rode TT as a single rider while running for FP. Then it was time for lunch at LeCellier. All I'll say now is yummm!!!!!!! But check out the menu as it has changed from our last trip Then we spent some time in the WS trying to walk off that wonderful lunch. On the way out we tried to use our TT FPs but when we got up to preview rooms the ride was shut down due to incliment weather By then it was pouring so we headed back to the resort. When we got back to the WL the rain had stopped so off to the pool We ended the night with dinner at an almost empty Grand Floridian Cafe and Wishes from the drivers cab of the monorail

Today:

I'm running out of time but real quick we were at DHS for rope drop and rode the new Toy Story Mania ride 5 times with very little wait due to utilizing FPs and single rider line The Brown Derby was awesome (first time for us), we watched the water parade from our beds, and watched Wishes from the "window". Life is good

Tomorrow:

KTTK Tour , Kona Cafe, MK evening to watch Wishes
