Your in luck, because someone posted a new thread last night of the construction site with photo's.

Thanks ONCE AGAIN, you WL vets are SO GREAT!!!!!

I booked my trip today!

Yea! ...Congrats...Isnt it a nice feeling?!

 

[DLBDS]

So sorry, I didn't mean to give out erroneous info. I just thought I would mention that I've stayed concierge level at other resorts and never been shown to my room prior to check-in, or even offered that option. As I've never stayed at WL before, I did not know it was the norm there. Hope I did not offend.

Girl, don't sweat it. This is one of the reasons why we're here....to learn from other's experiences. I sincerely meant that it was good to know. And, no Beckie, you are absolutely correct, I didn't let anyone or anything prevent me from having a BLAST at WDW. Check-in and check-out were pretty much the only things that didn't go as I had expected. The WL is AWESOME and I wouldn't even consider staying anywhere else. Club Level or not.

Hello all

Love reading. I have learned a few things. Thanks.

We are going to stay at the WL (will make it official tomorrow or on Monday). Our travel dates - 9/16 - 9/22. I have the wood view on hold. I would love to have a view of MK. Should I ask my AAA agent to request it or do I wait till checking in?

I'm torn if I should book through AAA or TA. Any suggestions? My package is room and tickets so far. I will add DDP later on.

Thanks

That is me! I will be meeting friends at Trails End in a couple of weeks as well, so I can get updated photos if there is interest at that time (if noone else posts any).

Please get as many as you can! I know there is scaffolding around for an exterior refurb, and I'd like to see what it looks like.

I'll probably be there around the 15th/16th (I don't think I'll drive down there earlier). I'll just walk over from FW and get some pics - again, unless anyone else is posting them (no need to be redundant!)

 

[Smileybug]

Good morning everyone!! I have a question that I know someone can help me with. We are staying in a two bedroom villa this trip. (can't wait ) our original dates were Nov.25th-30th. (We love going right after Thanksgiving. Low crowds !!) We really wanted to add an extra day to our stay. But after several unsucessful atemps at this we decided to change our dates rather than change our resort. (Can't leave the WL!!) So our new dates are Dec. 9th-15th. Please, someone tell me what your experiences have been at this time with crowd levels.

Thanks for your help!!
Della

Hi Smileybug. We will be there on many of the same days. We are staying at the WL from Dec 7th - the 14th.

First WELCOME to THE DIS-and the WILDERNESS LODGE FAQ THREAD

If you are booking a Woods View and would like a possible view of the Magic Kingdom, you should make your request when you book your room. North Wing, 5th floor, near the elevator, overlooking the otter pond. If you need/want a smoking optional room request 6th floor.

Sorry I can't help you with whom you should use to book your trip, I'm such a control freak I always book everything myself.

Great job on the photo's, Please if you have time we all would love additional photo's, (no need to be redundant!) They would never be redundant as you have a special talent, you really did a Great job with the photo's you posted on your original thread.

I love your user name nbodyhome whenever I see it I think..."But there's a light on."
Thanks Again,
Beckie

The attendance crowds during you stay will be medium to heavy but not unbearable. Last year the wait times for the big attractions were around 15-20 minutes max. some didn't have the Fast Pass operational no need.

For the best strategy arrive at the Parks at opening use the EMH mornings most guest arrive around 10:30-11:00am this will give you almost three hours to take advantage of very low crowds.

Watchout for EMH evening hours, with many guest not opting for Park Hoppers they will go to the park that is open the latest. (EMH evening) This will make attendance swell after 11:00am, until it becomes unbearable.

Remember at WDW the early bird gets to ride the best attractions without long waits.

Hope we can meet-up I'll be staying at the Villas, same dates as you.

Beckie

 

[nbodyhome]

Thanks Beckie!

I will go ahead then and take some and post in a couple of weeks when I'm down there (probably around the 15th, my friends arrive on the 13th - so whenever we do lunch!) It's only a 20 minute walk each way from Trails End.

Thank you for the nice words! I just got back into photography last year, so I'm still getting back up to speed. I should have some World Showcase walk photos up tomorrow, but I will let everyone know when the WL ones are up (I know those are the ones you are waiting for!) I hope they finish the pool soon for everyone!
