Maybe look into POR as the rustic theming is similar?Y'know...we are one of the minority that did not care for WL nearly as much as we thought we would, and we were there at Christmas with all the decorations! The rooms were dark to me,not that much larger than a mod and the Roaring forks food was not very tasty to us...

we trucked over to Trails End for the pizza and chicken, now THAT was good! and enjoyed the petting zoo...but honestly, out all the resorts we have stayed ( ASMU,POP, CBR, CR, POLY, Dolphin) WL and CBR were our 2 least favorite. CBR theming was lovely, but the busses and insects were a deterent from a return visit. And while some love the boats, we were sort of not crazy about being in the cold December weather on them....I know that is not the resort per say, but it is the preffered MK route, so we were on it a lot. I think you will have a great time knowing that you are not stressing over the extra cash...I know that would totally derail me for a trip!
I thought the petting zoo was closed a few years ago..Is it back?
Tracy..You will enjoy the POFQ! I am staying in the CB for a night in December but would have rathered the FQ.
