Looks like we may see you there. We'll be at the WL from 7/11-18. You can check in on the July thread via the link in my signature below.

PS - Is Grumpy coming along? We read along with your TR.

Wow my Grumpy is famous Yep she's coming along! The woman who was worried about having to stay "a whole week" in Disney already wants more.

Concierge has been added, I do hope more guest can meet next December or anytime several of us are at the Lodge during the same dates.

Our Meet in December was GREAT, I did post a new photo with the WL Vet's around Huphrey on the first page toward the bottem of my post.

Our dates overlap this year we will have to meet for drinks or snacks while we are there.

Good idea! We can have a "log head" convention!

I'm in. DW and I are open on 15th or the 16th of December (Saturday and Sunday). We plan to be at the parks all day during the week, but hope to have some quality resort time on the weekend.

We're a group of 8 (5 adults and 3 kids) staying at the WL for the first time from Jan 31 to Feb 6 and we're very excited!! This thread is amazing...thank you to all who have spent the time pulling all this info together!

Do the woods view rooms have DVD players?

I havent done a trip report - but I had to stop in and say - y'all were right!! WL deserves the rep and devotion!!

We did a 3 resort insanity - lots of reasons, from Pop to BV - luggage transfer from Pop - brilliant, just call tell them the number of bags, and off to the park. Not so with BV - getting my luggage from Boardwalk before midnight was... painful. (long story short - when it came, the CM had the audacity to tell me he knew I wouldnt get it before midnight he was the only working and ME luggage had priority!! I was not amused, but it's Disney, and it was just a very minor bump in the road... then we went to WL for the weekend... and I had learned a valuable lesson from BWV (btw we had to be present when BWV person came to get our luggage, not at POP, but at BW!!) I went to check in early at WL, knowing my room would not be ready, but I wanted to get in line, and do as you all told me - rub Humphry's nose - which I did...

I cant begin to list all the magic that occured!! When I told the luggage CM's about the quandry with BWV this is the reply "I'm sorry to hear that, but ma'am, you're at the Lodge now, put up your feet, we'll take care of everything" speechless, then a second thought... I'll just see about that!! I wanted to leave my Anniversary leftover cake in luggage storage along with a day bag of jammies, and swimsuits... but wasnt sure how to go about that, the nice CM showed me where he would put my stuff, and how it was a/c back here...

Of course when we came back around 3 to get my stuff (our room was ready!!) no one could find my cake and bag!!! THere was Jason, he couldnt believe it, and I just shrugged... we went in together as I had tried telling them I could show them where it was... it was kinda funny...

At 4pm no luggage, and I happened to come down to see what the delay was and overheard his phone conversation "IF I have to go to the Boardwalk to get the guests luggage I will, and I wont be happy" he looked up and saw me.. I just grinned knowledgably an "I told you so"... BUT the luggage did come not 15 min later!!!

And of course the Lodge gave us a great room, even sending up a complimentary bag of goodies... and later someone knocked on our door and dropped off 2 plastic champagne cups filled with chocolate!! Truly unexpected and amazing!!

That was the start of our wonderful weekend at the Lodge - we'll be back!!

Thanks!

We were there for the first time this past December (16 to 23) and LOVED it.

I posted a similar thread in the resorts section but figured I'd ut it on the "official" WL thread. Is the hotel under renovation? Are all rooms being done? Also, we are booked in 2 rooms with the woods view for our visit in December - any hints on where to request?

During the past year and a half the Lodge has undergone a complete renovation starting with a new Lounge area in Concierge and all new furnishings in each guest room. Plus new carpeting and wallcoverings throughout the public areas.

After the interior renovations were completed they started working on the exteriors of the Lodge. Scaffolding was placed and they have worked their way around the outside of the Lodge repairing, cleaning each area and design element.

In the next few days they are scheduled to start work on the Silver Creek Springs Pool area, so by the end of March the Wilderness Lodge will be completely refurbished.

Opps, sorry I almost missed the second question, for a Woods View I would request North Wing 5th floor overlooking the otter pond near the elevators. This may give you a great view of the Magic Kingdon and Wishes fireworks.
