Anyone know when a good time is to start stalking ebay for a room? We have rented through ebay for our last trip but did it only a couple months out for a 2 bedroom. I'm hoping to find a 3 bedroom in Jan 2017 and just don't see much of anything yet. Is it just way too early? Also, is it unreasonable to hope for a 3 bedroom for at least 7 nights (during off season) under $1000?

We took the leap. Oct will be our first off site trip WBC. DH is wondering if we can visit POFQ to eat at their food court counter service one of the days.

You sure can! When my husband and I stayed at WBC 2 years ago, we drove over to CBR (which is basically next door!) one morning for breakfast so I could have Mickey waffles. We just told them at the guard shack that we were going in for breakfast and they waved us on.

Thanks, the DH and the DD will be so happy. That was part of not wanting to give up our on-site room.

3 Bedrooms are much rare than 2 bedrooms and I would not count of finding one for your dates on Ebay. I would shop from one from many of the sellers mentioned on this thread, or contact some of the ebay sellers.

You can visit any Disney resort to eat! Art of Animation is a fun one to walk around and take photos. Also, Fort Wilderness is a great place to visit. All very easy and about 10-15 minutes away by car.

Okay, so I'm here now. We booked a vacation package for a 1 bedroom through Expedia. However, at check in, they said that we have 3 separate reservations: 3 nights in a 1 bedroom, 1 night in a 2 bedroom, and 3 nights in a 1 bedroom. The check in people said that Expedia did this and we'd have to fix it with them. So, we've called them several times.

Has this ever happened to anyone else? We ended up spending the night at the airport because our flight was delayed. We called the front desk, but they still put us as a no show last night. I'm wondering if this affected our reservation?

Thanks in advance for any advice or insight.

I'm sorry your vacation is off to such a rocky start. Hopefully everything has been fixed at this point and you are enjoying your trip.

The current schedule was posted a few pages back, but I'm here now and just used CamScan to scan it, here's a link to the PDF in my Google Docs...hopefully this works! https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4cqKhx4DckRTzdEQWpoeXBQY1k/view?usp=drivesdk

Thank you so much for this and the cabana info. We got a half-day cabana at the Disneyland Hotel in 2013, and it was awesome, and my DH has been asking if WBC has cabanas, too.
Going back to the schedule, I assume only the items with "$" next to them cost extra? Anyone recall how much sundaes or s'mores are?

Is there a link anywhere to the restaurant menu?

January 2017 is considered High Season (Value, High, Prime) and for a 3 BR Deluxe, you are looking at $1820 for 7 nights. I'd be surprised if you find anything close to $1000.

If you look in the sold listings on ebay, during the peak, peak season in March, many 3 bedrooms went for $1688, and January is not as high as March for demand. I agree that $700 is likely too low for a full week in a 3 bedroom.

And I still think $1700 - $1800 for a 3 bedroom unit for 7 nights is a bargain considering you are pretty much on property. I compared the price of our recent 2 bedroom WBC for 8 nights with what we would have paid to rent a 2 bedroom at SSR (a pretty close comp I think) and it would have been about $5000 as opposed to the $1000 we paid.

Never mind found them ! For some reason I couldn't see them on my phone but when I got on my computer they popped up on the hotel website

We took our children's lunch in a soft sided cooler and noone said anything to us about it not being allowed. We did this to save money and my kids are picky eaters!

Are there now Cabanas at all of the pools? Last time we were there I only remember seeing them at the pool the hotel is attached to.

There are many cabanas around the pirate pool by tower 6.

 

[Chelley00]

There are cabanas near the pool at tower four too

Part of our first night tradition is ordering Pizza / Pasta .. from Flippers

They call you when they are on WBC property.. and it is Required that you

Meet with them .. Downstairs just outside the Lobby of whatever Building / Tower you are in.

Flyers are occasionally slipped under your door .. by various other Restaurants that Deliver

But they are not Approved to do so by WBC .. Past Reports are .. in most cases the flyer-food is sub-par.

Do you order from the 12525 State Road Location? We thought we might order pizza our first night after the drive from Toronto.

I am not sure of the address/location.

Our last trip (WBC/2015) we asked the concierge for a list of restaurants

Specific to what kind of food (pizza - breakfast - etc)

We also got directions to .. TARGET - Walmart etc

We are thinking of staying here for our first trip to Disney. Are there stairs in the resort that are easily accessible or do you have to use the elevators? I hate elevators...
