SLEEPS??? You really think you will be able to SLEEP between now and then????

I was up last night worrying I forgot to pack something. DH reminded me that we were going to WDW, not a 3rd world country! Then my super smart DD reminded me that if I forget a T-shirt or something I can always get a cool new Mickey one!

So the worries about forgetting something are over, but I'm now just too darn excited to sleep!

It's really getting bad if you can't sleep, can't concentrate....

I'm going to be there soon once this semester is over. When do you guys leave??

Heather~just dropping in to say ~ Have a great vacation!! I think your Martina is very smart, and even if you don't forget a T-shirt, buy a new Mickey one anyway!

I look forward to seeing you when you return to hear all about your trip!

Safe travels and enjoy!

Our Flight leaves @ 7:30 on Sat. morning, but my in-laws live an hour closer to the airport, and are having a B-day party for my Niece tomorrow night, so we are going to just stay with them. So I guess I can say that I am leaving as soon as I'm done work tomorrow night!

Okay, all you WL fans...I'm usually a YC/BC girl, but taking an extra trip this year Jan 4-10 1020 and just upgraded from POR to WL. I've been to the WL for meals but never stayed there before. I feel like I may fall in love...or at least have a huge crush by the time I leave.

Now... I booked an AP rate for a Courtyard View with Bunk Beds. Soo...where are these rooms? How many are courtyard looking on the villas? I guess I should request inner courtyard?? Thoughts? Great rooms?

Does anyone know when the holiday decorations go up? We are planning Nov 6-14 next year. My parents will only be with us for the first could of days but their main reason for coming is to see the decorations. The Christmas party "should" (if history repeats itself) begin on the Tuesday we are there.

Thanks for any help.

THey are scattered throughout the lodge. Definately request Inner Coutryard...Some people have said that the rooms overlooking the villas are Woods View now, then other people have had one as a Courtyard category, do def. request INNER Courtyard to be safe. Next, look at the links on the 1st page, and decide where you want to be...Off the lobby, north wing, south wing, upper or lower floor, etc. We had a great location when we went with my in-laws back in 2007..it was 2156 I think. We were in the South Wing, about 6 or 7 rooms from the stairs going down to the pool. We could use those stairs to head to the pool, and cut through there to get to the boat dock. I never thought I would like the 2nd floor, but it was great, because we were on the same floor as the lobby, Mercantile, etc. It was great, for my in-laws who have some mobility issues (and tend to get lost easily) We were in a CY Bunk room connecting to their 2 Queen room. The view was OK (would have seen more of the pool area from a higher floor) but the location was VERY convenient, but far enough from the lobby to be quiet.

Thanks for any help.

This year, I read that it went up overnight Nov 16/17. I think you might be just a little early.


ETA: I looked at ther room location Map...we must have been 2155 & 2157, or somewhere close to that.

Definitely request the Inner Courtyard. If you want the most sought after room do an Inner Courtyard off the Main Lobby.

The waterfall out back of the lodge was not lit at all this year We were truly dissapointed. I meant to ask why, but never did being so busy chasing my grandson between the bridge and Humpry's nose. He loved going back and forth between these two anytime we were in the lobby.

Wishing you and yours a wonderful stay. Dont' think it was a problem with the lights, just not lighting it.
