WL is a great resort to just explore. The second time my family stayed there, my kids liked checking out the area above the lobby and just looking down. The lobby is a great place to just chill.

Enjoy your stay!

There is also a 10 day package for a certain amount of $$ for a stay of 10 days for a family of 4 or 5---It was around 250 dollars--I guess I may have to call WDW for that one.

Isa the water mouse a 2-seater?

 

[debbiedoo]

Yes--water mice are two seaters. I have read somewhere either AP or DVC gets a discount--I am going to call in a little while--so if interested stayed tuned.

very interesting. Things like how to tell real wood post from disney made post.

They offer the family plan there, which gets you unlimited use of boats and bikes (except surrey bikes) for your entire stay. I've got the sheet from Teton rentals somewhere here if you can't get the info on the phone. We've done this twice with 2 teenage boys and it is very worthwhile.

 

[Jasminetigger]

First of all if you are going to Wilderness Lodge you will have a great time. The one thing I recommend that you do is explore. The architecture of the Lodge is fabulous. There are so many places to just sit and relax and people watch. Make sure you check out each floor. The geyser is neat to watch. It goes off every hour. Ask if you can be flag family when you check in. You get to go up on the roof in the morning and help raise the flags above the Lodge. The view is amazing.

 

[lomillerin]

Does anyone have any info. on the kids fishing or horseback riding?

 

[Disney Doll]

Walking on the trails is nice, and not too strenuous. I also like going down near the geyser at night and waiting for the Electric Water Pageant to go by.

If you do the Whispering Canyon for breakfast or dinner make sure you ask for extra ketchup! LOL

Does anyone know how long of a stay is required to do the family plan? Does it have to be 10 days? We are going for 7. Thanks!

 

[njzieglers]

I have the details here somewhere, but am positive you don't need to be staying 10 nites. I think we were 6 nites, and it was worth it.

 

[FromVatoDisney]

Thank you! It sounds like a great deal!!

 

[debbiedoo]

Ok just called and here is the deal. . .

239 dollars plus tax for length of stay. If you are switching resorts--will have to go back to original marina you bought package at. For up to 5 guests.

AP holder--15%
DVC members--15%

on all water activities.

We rode a surrey bike over to FW and stop at the petting zoo and wandered around the area. It was great fun.
