Tell me about WL

[jockey]

I am having problems getting booked for the CR as i can't get a garden wing and DH is thinking of the WL. Has anyone any experiences to share? Should I hold off to see if CR becomes available or should I book WL, decisions decisions decisions.....

As I'm sure you know, we absolutely loved our stay at Villas at Wilderness Lodge last April. I have never stayed at the Contemporary so can't compare the two, however I will say that the theming at WL is fantastic. Although it's massive, it seems really cosy and I can't say enough good things about it. The boat to MK was a great way to get there and the pools are good (although, again, I can't compare to the CR pool).

If you can't get the room you want at CR, I would definitely try the WL - I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Thanks Jo, I remember you guys had a wonderful stay there It really is a beautiful hotel we ate there a few times last trip too as we had friends staying there.

I think I will just go ahead and book then maybe if availability comes up at the CR I could do a split stay

I think I would jump at WL, I loved my stay there, so cozy and inviting, friendly CMs, a compact feel to it, homely wooden furnishings, nice pool area and hot tub with the geyser close by, a very quiet beach area, you still have boat access to MK and i never found transport a problem to anywhere else which i had been very worried about before. and for winter time/ near Xmas time then this is the resort to be in.
But what a nice choice to have to make

Thanks, the more I read the more I am liking the resort, it gets excellent reviews on Tripadvisor! When we get thier in Jan the Christmas thee will still be up. I did suggest to DH that we went back to AKL but he suggets we need to try something new! I am worried the kids will expect to see animals as the theming in the WL is similar to AKL!

Loved it.

The CR gave me a feeling of an airport hotel (sorry all CR fans, JMO) but WL is very unique!

With the lobby area, the 2 great restuarants, the pool area, beach are where you can watch the water parade etc ..... we really liked it.

Yes I know what you mean, I thought it looked a bit clinical! I really liked the look of the rooms though and the thought of walking to MK. I do think the theming of WL is better

Well, I have made a decision and booked WL, just waiting for Dreams unlimited to process my deposit

Great news

Maybe not giraffes or zebras but we saw plenty of wildlife when we were at WL - woodpeckers, rabbits, squirrels, ducks and really cute little red birds that we still don't know what they are.
