WL Deluxe Rms Square Footage

[WDW2000]

Does anyone know what the square footage of the Deluxe Rooms at Wilderness Lodge (formely known as JR. Suites)? We have 3 Adults and 2 Teenagers trying to stay in 1 room. Would this type room work? Thanks!

The Junior Suites offer another alternative for families. They are approximately 500 square feet and offer 2 rooms; a living/kitchen room and a Large Bedroom with 2 beds . The Living Room Couch also opens into a bed. In addition to the couch, the Living Room has a TV, table, 2 chairs, wet bar and mini refrigerator.
There are French doors between the rooms. The advantage to the Junior suite is having a second room to talk or watch TV in while the kids sleep in the bedroom. Most of the suites are at the ends of the wing, overlooking the lake - remember that some of the balconies are privacy balconies. A few of the suites are in the small section facing the lake about half way out the wing and have a pool view. Junior Suites have only one bathroom.

Junior Suites have: hair dryer, coffee maker, *small* fridge, iron, and ironing board.
Got this info from Deb's Disney.

I would think really hard about having that many adults and teenagers in the room. We tried this last year with 4 adults and a 2 year old and ended up moving to two connecting rooms after one night. Having only one bathroom was really hard and the pull out sofa was really uncomfortable. It might work for you but we definitely needed the two rooms and were MUCH happier for the rest of the week.

We stayed in a Junior Suite the year that Wilderness Lodge opened and while there may be "enough" space, I did not like the room. The two separate rooms are small and felt crowded. The bathroom adjoined them and every time someone showered and opened the door, the mirror steamed up. All of the lights were flourescent, even the light bulbs. (yuck) but the worst thing of all, is that very little of the furniture was functional. There was an armoir for the tv but no drawer space. There was a standing armoir which was like a free standing closet but no drawer space. At the time, we had six of us, (smaller kids) and it was a hassle living out of our suitcases. We were much more comfortable in the single room with two queen beds and a day bed at the Yacht Club.

This is the size of the regular rooms not the Deluxe rooms
