The Wilderness Lodge and Villas FAQ (Part 7) Simbas and Tiggers and Humphreys OH MY!

[mrstomrice]

Has anyone ever shipped packages to the resort? I know this part of the FAQ, but I'm wondering if anyone has used diapers.com? They're so easy to order from and usually only take 1 day to ship, I was thinking it might be a great solution instead of carrying them in our luggage.

When we went and needed diapers, we used garden grocer.com We also ordered our snacks and baby food for the week....great service! When our son was older, we just lined the suitcases with diapers...they never took too much space that way

You can order baby food from Garden Grocer??? Wow! I can't believe I didn't know this, that is awesome! It must make it really easy to meet the minimum order if you're getting diapers and food. I'll have to look into, thanks!

FYI--we got a random solid balconied room, 4088, directly over hostess desk from WCC.

If I'm not mistaken, I believe the solid balconies are only found in the club level which would be rooms #7000's.

Your from a state where 93 north and 128 south are the same road?

But that aside the laundry room is right inside the building by roaring forks and is an easy walk to the pool.

Very confusing to newbies! Or those of us down in MA from NH!

Thought I would post my secret here - booked a standard room for Valentine's Day - surprise to hubby - I called back and upgraded to Courtyard View! We have celebrated many anniversary's and birthday's at WL and can't wait for our first ever Valentine's Day there!

We used gardengrocer.com last year for diapers and snacks, worked perfectly! They even held our cold things in a cooler until we got back to the resort and took them in our room.

We also just booked Woods View for October 9-15, 2011. Originally had it booked for June, but with baby Bean on the way, I wanted to wait until Bean is closer to 6 months old. We will also get to do MNSSHP while we are there and I know the older two kids will love it.

Really excited about our first WL stay in November. I have a few room logistics questions for the experts out there. Is there room in a standard room to fit a full sized crib (rental from outside agency - DD too big for pack and play). Also, how high are the bed rails that come on the bunk beds? I have wild sleepers, and I love the regular bed rails that you can get at Disney Resorts because they are so tall to provide extra protection. Maybe I could still slip those under the mattress of the bunks?

Thanks for any insight you can provide.

Yep, you had a MK view. I've stayed in the room right next to that one. It really makes the stay more special.... if that's possible! Glad you had a great experience!

The CL CMs were so amazing! This was our first trip back to CL since our honeymoon & I will scrimp & save every penny to stay up to the 7th floor from now on. We have never stayed anywhere other than WL but now I am a 7th floor snob!

I bought a 4' pre-lit tree before I went and took all of my Disney ornaments with us. It was great! If you're flying in, this might not work for you. You can also use DisneyFlorist.com. They'll set a tree up for you.... but it'll cost ya!

You could send a tree UPS with the ornaments. Then send it back after. How nice that would be to have your own tree Looking forward to lots of pics

I think I am more excited than my three boys. But then again, they don't know about a couple surprises (pirates league and wishes cruise and pony rides/ campfire at Fort Wilderness).

Hoping that the one-bedroom villa and studio will be CONNECTED. Cross your fingers for me y'all. Saved a lot of money by gambling on connected rather than a dedicated two bedroom villa.

CM was very nice, by the way. As usual, no guarantees but she mentioned that the requests are much easier to fill now that most kids are back in school.

I gave a second request that we be close to an elevator-- but I made it clear that being connected is waaaay more important. My mother in law has some mobility issues, but we'll deal.

But when push comes to shove, requests are just that: requests. We'll have fun no matter what.

How was a one-bedroom and studio cheaper than a dedicated 2 bedroom? It is always nice to save money!
