NEW (and IMPROVED, if THAT's possible!)Wilderness Lodge FAQ

[Majestic]

Anyone know of any free dialup internet providers that are local to WL? I found one called myfreei.com. The only two numbers I show from them that appear to be local to WL are:

FL KISSIMMEE v92/v90 407-738-4014
FL ORLANDO v92/v90 407-641-4014

Can anyone confirm if these are in fact local to WL? I would want it compared to the main number there I guess? (407) 824-3200

Maybe while down there I can do trip reports in real-time nightly.

Ratpack,


Thanks for sharing your trip reports!

I would like to know where you found Sorcerer Mickey.....he's my favorite too and I MUST get me and him in a pic together!

Thanks,

The best way for me to tell you where he is, is to go to Voyage of the Little Mermaid and take a left. He is in the last building down that "street" on the right hand side. I think Who wants to be a millionaire is also down there.

I think maybe I wanted to see my countdown again.
Seems like my trip is such a long way off, but you guys that are just getting ready to.....HAVE A WONDERFUL TIME!!!!! It is soooo
exciting. Can't wait to hear some reports when you get back.

I'm working really hard to get through this thread for all the info! We're going in Nov, and have never stayed at WL before, but it sounds so wonderful.

Thanks to everyone for the info!

I remember reading that Kissimmee was a toll call from Disney World so please check carefully about your numbers. If I find out anything I will let you know. Would you do the same? I know you have to dial the area code even for local #'s just without the 1 first.

I wrote email to the company and hope to hear from them soon. I also wrote to my concierge people at the Lodge and are having them check. Will post new info as I get it.

Also! I just realized that I broke 100 posts!

I see you have been inquiring about concierge also. You have to go back about 20 pages on here, but I also checked into the concierge deal and got a lot of interesting responses. So get your reading glasses on and start paging back. Now won't that be just too funny if our next stay is WL Concierge! They guys won't even believe it!

...to say "hallooooo!!". We spent a few days "at the Jersey shore"...a little crabbing, boogey boardin' in the cold Atlantic, breakfast at the NEW Perkins, and miniature golf in the POURING RAIN! AspiringCindy and her fam are on their way to Cedar Point in Ohio.....safe trip, sis!

Thanks for visiting me over at the Trip Boards!

 

[Mermaid 3]

Just checking in to see what is going on. I'm so excited about planning our next trip, I just want to keep talking about it!!!!!

Hello everyone. Hope everyone is doing well. We have been getting ready for our trip, so less time for me to get online. DS has been on playing at Disney.com alot. He loves to watch Kim Possible and play the games they have on line.

Well DH's friend from work got back yesterday from WL and told DH that it was great. They had a really good time and loved going to the Movie at FW. (suggested by DH) He said they had a (standard) reservation, but when they checked in, they were upgraded. They were told there were no standard rooms available that they would have to put them in a suite. Well no complaints there. He has already talked about going in Dec and has enlisted my husband to help with suggestions. DH is so happy.

I am too. I really can't wait to get back to the WORLD.

Well, I'm wishing everyone a great night and a GREAT BIG BEAUTIFUL TOMORROW!

Diane

...great trip report! I really enjoyed reading all of your adventures! I especially LOVE all the great pix you posted, interspersed between the commentaries.....feel free to expound on the WL right here!

 

[copper0426]

ok, strange question, but does anyone remember what color mickey head we are suppose to wear. DS and I went to Home Depot and we got all three greens because I couldn't remember which one. See I told you I have been getting ready for our trip.

Thanks for any help.

Diane

WOW!

That was great luck, no standard rooms available so they HAVE TO give you a suite! I wish that would happen to me! But the concierge thing is also quite intriguing...........any old room will do at the lodge! I can't wait to start getting reservations made, but I'm waiting on the airline before I can book! Mermaid and family are flying down with us again and we need to get our flights set first.
Anybody know what special things go on for birthdays at the lodge? I've heard that if you let them know ahead of time you get a surprise, or is that strictly for the kids? We are going to be celebrating quite of few of them on our trip!......Yikes!!!

 

[kimmar067]

...bring 'em all!!

 

[Disbug]

I AM NOW A WL VETERAN! The only problem?? It wasn't long enough! Going back to try VWL Nov 23, 24, 25th! (I guess I should tell the rest of the family? Naw! Let it be a surprise!)

 

[kimmar067]

Disbug, what an AWESOME photo!!!

 

[Mermaid 3]

Has anyone stayed at the Villas at WL? I saw something on TV on the travel channel a while back about the lodge and villas, but
it is so long ago, I really can't remember what the rooms looked like.

 

[Disbug]

Wish I could take credit but it was my dad's photo from his room! Everyone in our group had an upgraded view from std. I was in room 5081, which I loved. Was able to see the fireworks from balcony. Had a corner room on the same side as WC but on the opposite corner so, NEVER had a noise issue. Thank you for all your suggestions as to room selection before we went. I think for the most part, I got everything I asked for! Such a fun, week!

 

[copper0426]

Yeah, I'll make a design on my clothes with them. DS got a few oranges and I think Sorcerers Hat Blue. I just love Sorcerer Mickey, so he grabbed it for me. He is so thoughtful. Actually it is almost the color of his room right now.

Disbug, that is an awesome picture!

Have a great night.
