We are planning our first big trip to Disney and are VERY excited. After an exhausting amount of research, we have chosen to stay at Wilderness Lodge (would love to stay at the Poly - but it's just too much). We are planning a 7 day trip in October (still waiting for the big 7 for 4 special)! My question is the room and views. I have seen that from some of the rooms you can get a glimpse of the castle at MK?? My husband and I are taking our 5-year-old and will likely spend evening hours on the balcony just relaxing with each other. Although I want to save money, I don't want us to just be looking at a parking lot during these evenings. Does anyone have any recommendations as to a view catagory or even a room number that I could place a request in for. I know it's not guarenteed, but...
I appreciate any suggestions! We can't wait!

There are only a couple of rooms on the top floor which are concierge rooms that have a view of the tip of the castle. We had a pool view and it was very nice. You could see the electric water parade every night from our balcony.

Enjoy!

I wouldn't request a specific room as if it is already booked the CM assigning your room will not have anything else to work with and will just put you wherever there is an opening. Make your requests more general and in order of preference and you'll probably end up with a great view.

You will love WL!! We really loved our stay last Sept.

I believe you want to request a woods/lodge view. Ask on the WL faq part 4 thread. AC and/or FC can better help you.

Sorry about the lack of subject here Thanks for the great input. Could you please clarify what this means:

"Ask on the WL faq part 4 thread. AC and/or FC can better help you"

Sorry, I'm pretty new to the boards and don't understand the lingo or where to look for this.

I appreciate all of your help!

There is a thread that is all frequently asked questions/various info regarding Wilderness Lodge. It is a terrific thread. A lot of great help over there. Just scroll down until you come to it. It's in here on the resorts board someplace!!

I found it and bumped it up for you. It should stay close by for a bit yet.
