Honestly we care very little about the room view, because we are going from dawn till dusk at the parks and are only there to rest in between. We have had crappy room views the last two trips, but accepted them because it didn't matter to us as long as we had a room. The real MAGIC to us is being at the WL lodge for us, and seeing it decorated for the holidays. We have not been traveling with little ones, which would make a difference.
As far as the weather is concerned, we will take what comes, because it surely will be better than what we are leaving behind.

You should be packing right now!! Have fun!

We're there the 3rd - 11th!!! I'm so excited!! This is our second WL stay! It's absolutely beautiful and wonderful!! I'm hoping the tree and other christmas decorations will still be up when we get there!!

Looks like we will be there at the same time! We are arriving for our first stay at WL on Jan. 6th and leaving the 13th. I'm in the same boat as swald. We've stayed at the Poly and were booked there but changed to WL to get the 4/3 deal. I'm loving the pictures of the WL, though! I'm very excited to get there!

Thanks for the pictures, everyone! Can't wait to contribute some of my own.

I have been to all the sites available & seen tons of photos of Wilderness Lodge, inside & out, but I still can't get enough.
I am obsessed!! My son (age 12) & I will be finally staying at our dream resort this year from 11-30 to 12-7-08. We have always stayed at Pop Century, Caribbean Beach, or the All Star Music/Movies Resort. I have always DREAMED of staying at the Wilderness Lodge & when my dad passed away a few years ago (only 56 years of age), I figured that life is way too short & I have decided to "splurge" this year & go for it. This is not easy for a single mom on a budget, but I know this is probably the most beautiful resort during Christmas time, my favorite time of the year! I have looked at all the photos on the All Ears Net, the photos on the threads on the DIS boards, but I just can't get enough, so I thought I would start a thread for just Wilderness Lodge Photos- all of the resort. I want room photos, bathroom photos, refrigerator photos, shower photos, pool photos, Whispering Canyon photos, etc......
We don't have to discuss best room requests, check in, or anything like that, JUST BRING ON THE PHOTOS !!!!!! Thank you to anyone that posts photos to feed my obsession.

Well, my anticipation is about to become a REALITY!!!!!! The excitement building up to 11/30/08 at 5:00AM has been soooo much fun, basically in part to my fellow addicts & Dis buddy, DisneyNutz. He has helped in keeping this thread going with his FANTASTIC photos & excellent information. I am pretty much packed with a little bit of EVERYTHING because layers will be the key to dressing on this trip. I will be sure & take plenty of photos as well to share with my fellow Wilderness Lodge addicts. Thank you sooooooo much to everyone who participated in this thread & fed my addiction !!

Thank You, Thank You for starting this thread!!!! And Triple Thank You for all those that posted pictures

When HUGE DEAL, stay 4 get 3 free, came out we jumped on the phone and got reservations for the WL for my Birthday. We are staying for 10 glorious nights at WL with a court yard view.

This is my first WDW Resort stay (last one was Shades of Green) and we are sooooo excited.

We are addicted and keep looking for more Pics...

I just bought a really great camera for the trip so I promise to add to this pile of treasures!

Thanks again to everyone for the Magic and Merry Christmas to all.

Have a wonderful Trip!!!! Here at our house we are thinking Happy Thoughts and sending them your way. May this be a magical trip for you and your children!

We had a wonderful trip It will be a looooong process of getting the photos downloaded then uploaded to Photobucket! But I will be working on them. We had a one bedroom villa and the very best room assingment for us. it was overlooking the villas lobby on the 2nd floor very close to the elevators DW made sure I got pictures of the room for all the ladies wanting to see them. We had several towel figures in the room when we got there. I'll start posting the pictures as I get them uploaded.

A Pack-N-Play for the small child is stored in the closet you see in this photo

We eventually arranged them together on the TV Stand.

We loved having a jacuzzi tub, a shower and two bathroom sinks, so we could both get ready at the same time.

This was probably our favorite room feature for the entire trip. We have never done any laundry on any previous trips (who wants too ) but the day we checked in to this room, they were calling for SEVERE storms starting around 2:00pm. We did the Segway tour at Epcot at 7:45am this morning. After the Segway Tour we visited a few attractions, but we were wanting to visit a particular shop in the back of World Showcase before the storms hit. We made it back there and the storms caught us back there at 1:00. We didn't take our rain ponchos, because of doing the tour and we didn't want to get a locker for just ponchos. The storms brought some 40mph winds. We decided that since it was supposed to be a long storm, we would just brave the rain and head for our rental car. We got about half the way around the side of World showcase in a rain blowing sideways then came the small hail Even though we were already soaked to the last thread on our bodies, I know what hail and thunderstorms together can mean (they were warning of possible tornados popping up), so we ducked into Norway. That storm cell moved on quickly and we jumped back out into the rain to gut it out to the car. We saw a Large Palm Tree snapped off about four feet above the ground and it fell across one of the wrought iron fences onto the pathway around the lagoon. Upon arriving at our car, we may as well have swam across the lagoon at World Showcase as we wouldn't (couldn't) have gotten any wetter. So upon arriving back at our room we started the washer and put everything we had on in there (sneakers and all). Then put them all in the dryer

We were directly over an entrance to Sturdy Branches from the back. These were taken upon returining from the storm that I mentioned.

Out our front door we were looking straight towards the entry door to the Villas lobby.
