WL deluxe room - adjoining?

[kjustice]

Does anyone know if a deluxe room at the Wilderness Lodge is adjoining?

Thanks!

(And are they worth the upgrade?)

The deluxe rooms do have adjoining regular rooms. The deluxe room we had had a door into the next room though it was locked. Last year I had a regular room next to a deluxe room and there wasd a connecting door there too.
I really loved the deluxe room we had. They are not huge (onlu 500 square feet) but the configuration is nice and there are lots and lots of windows and I like natural light. The rooms feel quite special and we loved our time there.

That's what I was hoping. Kinda like a two bedroom suite. My issue is that we have a toddler in a crib and need a little extra space.

Thanks for the information!

I don't know how many would be in your group but here is the layout of the Deluxe room. http://www.netcot.com/Resorts/Deluxe/Wilderness.Lodge/rooms/deluxe2queen1queensofa.html
There are two seperate rooms with french doors to close off between them. The French doors are glass with sheer white cutains so they don't block out all the light but it might work for you without getting an adjoining room. If you do need an extra room it would be cheaper to go over to the WL villas and get a one or two bedroom.

Thanks for the link! That really helps.

Now I just have to decide - call and change the reservation or hope to upgrade on site? I heard it can be less expensive on site.

There are only like 27 or 34 deluxe rooms and they sell out fast from what I hear. Depending on when you are going you may not have any chance of an upgrade at check in. Good luck.

I'll call them.

Here's a shot in the dark - any have bunkbeds?
(Let's go for a perfect 10 here!!!!)

Whoohoo! Just called - the rate is $485 per night. I am paying $155 for woods view (Florida resident). Guess I'll have to take my chances at check-in. They said they had many left.

Thanks for the info.
