I'm so excited!! I was able to get the $114 AP rate, so I am splitting our stay between the Dolphin and the WL I also was able to get a PS for Cinderella's Breakfast, AND there are 3 e-ride nights the week we are there!! woo hoo! pixie dust abounds

Betsy I sure am enjoying your trip report and pics! But I can't believe you're back already! It just goes so fast doesn't it? We have decided on November for our trip (postponed from April 23rd) since my oldest DS will have vacation time saved up by then and will be able to go. Funny how you're never too old for Disney! I can't wait. I saw the packages that came out today, but I think I'm going to hold out for room only since we have hopper passes with days and options left. Anyone hear anything about the possibility of room only deals? Anyway, glad you had a good trip and I look forward to the rest of the report.

Well I am excited to say that my DH and I are headed to the WL this June, although DH thinks we are staying at POFQ! Shh! It's a surprise! So excited! Any way, my question for you WL experts is about the hairdryer in the rooms. Will I be disappointed with the power? When we stayed at the Dolphin, the power was pretty decent, but not quite as strong as my own. It still managed to dry my thick hair pretty nicely. So are the hairdryers decent enough or will I have to bring my own?

Thanks in advance

The dryers are pretty good...they are not "super" like home, but they did dry my sneakers when they were soaked!

we haven't stayed at the WL since June '99....long before my youngest was born....we are really looking forward to it!

How late do the boats to/from the MK run at night? Is it dependent on park closing?

Madge
Yes, they run until about an hour after MK closes or until all the guest have been loaded. You also have the option of riding the Resort Monorail or large Ferry to TTC then catching the internal resort bus for WL & Ft. Wilderness Campground, sometimes you may get back to the Lodge quicker that way. If the lines are too crowded at MK you also could walk to the CR and catch the monorail there.


MICKEY'S DREAMERS,
Welcome home, if you have any questions just post them here someone will be sure to have an answer for ya.

kwdietrich1,
If you have real thick hair...I would bring my own. I just think I'm use to having power to do the job quicker.

[dreamflight99]

Just popping in to say "HELLO" to all my WL~Loving Friends~! Hope everyone is having a GREAT time planning, dreaming and TRAVELING to the MAGIC & the LODGE! Please, be sure to touch Humphrey's nose for me.

TTFN...DF99

 

[MICKEY'S DREAMERS]

MAGICinMYHEART : THANKS for the welcome!!!!

How many times did you stay at WL ? Your "favorite" corner ?


dreamflight99 : we are starting planning JUST NOW !!! Would be glad to pat HUMPHREY'S NOSE and say hallo from you !!!

But ... (it's our first visit) WHO is Humphrey? that loveable smiling bear I saw in some posts ? Where is it ?

 

[FloridaCat]

Humphrey is the Bear in the Totum Pole in fornt of the Mercantie Gift sop. Rubbing, patting or tweaking his beak releases all kinds of Magic on your stay at WL. Take and picture and send it to Majrxtic to post.
