We loved the WL last year when we stayed there. I would stay there again in a heartbeat. We are trying 2 other resorts this year but I know we will definitely be back to the WL. I was convinced to stay there by the wonderful pictures that I found on http://www.ourlaughingplace.com/asp/rescc/costcalc.asp?pageFunction=researcher&resId=WL&submit1=go!

We're staying there for 8 nights in June. It's our first stay there.

I can hardly wait!

It's my family's favorite too. We bought DVC at VWL so we really do feel like we are home there. I agree you could spend all day in the lobby and have a great time And having been twice to Old Faithful Inn in Yellowstone, It is truly amazing how well they have captured the feeling and look. To be in the middle of all the action and people at the theme parks and yet feel like you are in the middle of a national park is so nice to come back to at the end of a day!

We check in at the WL in 16 days! I have never been there before -- only seen it in the distance while riding a water mouse. It looks gorgeous in the pictures I've seen. Even though I've been to WDW 10 times (so far ), I feel like I'm going someplace new and exciting! We are REALLY looking forward to this trip.

Thanks for starting this great thread!

We leave in 15 days! We'll move to the WL on the 21st. Cya there.

Its the only place I have stayed, and I never want to stay anywhere else!!
You cant beat that feeling you get when you walk in the lobby and hear the ponderosa type music playing!We were just there in October and I did not find it dirty at all. Our room was perfect.

WE love the Wilderness Lodge so much that we bought DVC because of it!

Even if it rains, you have the beautiful lobby to sit in, play cards, etc. I can't explain the feeling I get when we drive up the driveway, but it's just awesome. What a place!

For those who have been to WL, compare for yourself how it's

DW and I have stayed at GF(8 x's), AKL (2 x's), DL, Poly and BWI. We have stayed at WL 13 times and just plan on staying at WL in the future.

Our average stay at the WL is about 8 days. That means we have spent about 3 1/2 months at the Lodge in the last few years.

We are absolute fans of the villas and the WL in general. We love many of the other resorts, but WL is home.

We're staying there for the first time in December...starting on my birthday! Our breath was taken away by this lodge during our last trip. As we rode the boat from the Magic Kingdom to breakfast with Pooh & Friends at Artist Point, you can hear my voice on the camcorder saying "I don't care what it costs...we're staying here during our next trip!" We've got to do Movies for our 3-year-old DD (and us too, I suppose), but I think it's going to be hard to leave once we get to the Lodge.

The Wilderness Lodge was my very first Disney resort stay so it is a sentimental favorite. I will never forget how impressed I was with the lobby. My favorite thing about the WL is listening to the "crickets" chirping while waiting at the bus stop at night

Lets feed kenman to the lions over at the AKL .

Only kidding, of course .

We love the WL. DW is not the northwest themed, outdoorsy type, but we had to own DVC at VWL. All you have to do is spend time at the WL in December and you will fall in love, too. We will be there in May and Nov/Dec.

The WL is soooooo relaxing. The quiet pool by the villas is the greatest place to unwind. Our 3 yo DD loves the huge kiddie pool. She was just asking about the "gayzer" (guyser, of course)the other day and talking about how it made a rainbow last time we were there.

As for buses, who needs them - we always rent a car. It is the only way to go, IMO.

Have yet to stay at either WL or VWL, but brought VWL unseen from DVD. Coming home in May 2002

Thanks guys, you are making me feel really good about staying at the WL!

My fiance and I are staying there for our honeymoon in May! I used to work at Disney, and I have toured all the resorts (except the new AKL), and the WL is my favorite. Nothing compares to its theming. I can't wait to stay there!
