) some time soon. I haven't stayed there in almost 3 years. 
We have. . .once. We liked it. I had a watermelon salad that was superb, though I couldn't say if it's still on the menu. Have heard great things about breakfast, and I'm pretty sure that JT loves this place, so perhaps he'll chime in soon.
Thanks for the mini-report! Glad to hear the Lodge still delights. We've certainly found over the years that if you go in with a solid plan, that even when the parks are crowded (save perhaps those blackout dates), we don't have a lot of problems. We only take buses to the occasional park, so that's not an issue for us, either. I do think in the long term the Lodge will be considered even more of a jewel in the deluxe resort crown than before, but I still hate so much of the wilderness was removed. That will be hard, if not impossible, to replicate going forward.
We actually have reserved a pontoon fireworks boat from the Contemporary, and have filled it with friends, and Disboard friends we have not yet met!
We have always enjoyed dinner at the Wave, that is until our last time in March when service was dismal. So, we 4 are giving it a rest.
Actually, Luv and I have dinner plans there next week. We'll let you know what we find. That being said, we vary from a lot of people in the way we order. Often, we will get two apps but only one entree, and only infrequently do we order dessert. I'm fairly certain that's what we'll do this time, as well. Still, we should be able to relate how the service is and how well they handle the items we do get. Last time--which was a good three years ago or so--we had a good dinner there. Not exceptional but very solid. In fact, I had a watermelon salad there that was among the best I've had. Sadly, it's no longer listed on the menu.
hehe
