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

[corky805]

Well, as we get close to the big day I am now filled with craziness getting everything put together and ready. I always feel prepared untill the last few days before then I start to worry I won't get everything done.....but I always do so I'm not sure why I stress. Anyway.......we are really excited and hoping every day for good weather.

Hope everyone is well!

I have a new countdown clock!! My parents are giving us a Christmas gift. They chose the AKL, but it is free so I guess I can suffer somewhere else besides WL. However, I will have to go over there to see the Christmas decorations. Now I just have to pray that we can go through with the trip.

Ratpack - CONGRATULATIONS!!! Hey, as long as your at Disney, does it REALLY matter where you're staying ?

Fred and Corky - so how are those nerves ?

Also, Fred, hows the chain countdown coming? Are you just as excited removing the links as Julia? I know when it got down to the wire, I was getting butterflies in my stomach

10-4, I am picking up DGD after she gets home from school and then head down. We will check in, get the room set up and hit the pool until DD gets there from work.

We got pounded Sat. morning and then turn real nice. Cool and DRY all day yesterday and today. Yeh your right om Isabelle, weather people seem more concern the usual on a Hurricane that far out.

I'l just run to the beach and do my Irish Jig again. LOL

 

[AspiringCindy]

Just wanted to post this...hopefully it works!

How about yall doing the "Hurricane Stay Away" dance for me while you are @ WL. You know, kinda pave the way for my grand entrance. My wife is awful nervous after watching the weather channel lately.

Could someone post the floor plan for the deluxe rooms here? I would really appreciate it

I know this is not comforting and might sound a little wierd, but pray for that hurricane to hit while you are there,

we went during a hurricane - WOW no one was in the parks and we only suffered a slight rain here and there during the trip. Although the waterparks were unpredictable on when they would be open, the major 3 parks (AK was not yet built) were empty, we kept running into the same families over and over, we stayed on MANY rides without even having to get off: Haunted Mansion, Astro Orbitors, Alien Encounter, Splash Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain and on and on.... even when we had to get off of the rides we just got right back in line and only waited a couple min. to get experience the ride again.

I have pictures in my scrapbook of main street nearly empty. NO lines for any of the characters. I mean it was literally like having the park to ourselves. It was my DH's first trip and we had a BLAST. Since most of the rides are inside the rain hardly was a factor.

Again I know that is not comforting and no one likes bad weather, but if it does happen, look at the bright side, you might end up with a lot less of a crowd, cause all the locals will stay home.

Just keep smiling... and saying "We are at Disney"

 

[Majestic]

Woohoo! Was just advised that my friend who is a cast member will be making arrangements for us to get a CM only preview of Mickey's Philharmagic!!! Really cool! It's something that will make our trip really special.

Still PACKING!!! UGG! M...uuuu...s.ssss...t.t.ttttt ssss.s.s.s..stt.ttttoooo...ppppp.....bbbb.bb.b..eeee....ii.i.i.i...n.n.n.n..gggggg.....nnnneeee.e.e..eeerrrrrvvvvvv.vv..v.vooooouuuu....ssssss!!!!



And...I've just GOT to say it....

I'M...I MEAN.....WE'RE GOING TO DISNEYWORLD!

Beth, congrats on your little ones first steps!!

FC, thanks for the dances to keep away the bad weather....it is appreciated. I am sad that we will be unable to meet on our trips, you really seem like a classy person!! Maybe next time!!

Fred, We have a friend working on a little Philharmagic "magic" for us as well, we are still waiting to hear....glad you will get to see it!!

OK, LISTEN UP!!!!! Those going soon (including me-YEAH) I got a first hand crowd report from my BIL and SIL last night. They said the crowds are low.....most rides walk on....longest wait 15 minutes for TOT.......they are having a blast and have covered alot of ground already which was surprising because they are traveling with 3 kids, 6 yo, 2yo, 8 mo.

I was getting a little nervous but now the excitement is really back. On a side note when my DH saw me packing clothes in Ziploc bags last night (great tip from the boards) he said I have finally lost it and he's not sure he wants to travel with me at this point

Those there this week are having fantastic weather. Hope it continues for another two weeks.

We will need some extra help for Isabell. She appears to be pretty pissed off right now. (Category 4 / 135 miles per hour wind) Do the jig FC!! FOR ALL OF US!

Cool! I am really excited about this one.

Sorry to bother you so close to your trip - but where did you get these Ziploc bags that just might convince my DH that I'm crazy, too?
