Just Booked Wilderness Lodge!

[merciantinkerbell]

WOOHOOO!! As the title says, just booked Wilderness Lodge for last week November and 1st week Dec 2018. :cloud9: I know it's a long way off but had a deal over here for flights, hotel, free DDP, 14 day tickets for price of 7 and $200 gift card. As planning to go anyway, we couldn't pass it up!
As much as loved POFQ, we decided to upgrade as seen how beautiful Wilderness Lodge looks, especially with Christmas decs.
Can. Not. Wait. :woohoo:

Wilderness Lodge is a wonderful resort. It's especially lovely during the holiday season. Enjoy!!

WL is wonderful! I think you're really going to enjoy it, especially at Christmastime.

I haven't stayed there yet, but have been there for dinner and the lobby and pool area is just beautiful. Have a great time!

We loved it when we stayed there a few years ago during holiday season. WCC is one of our favorite breakfasts so no matter where we stay we always eat there once during a trip.

Have a wonderful trip

I'm so jealous...I love WL. Its gorgeous at Christmas. Its one of my faves. And what a trip you have planned! Sounds like a dream. Perfect time to go! Enjoy!

That is great. Congratulations. Can't wait to hear your trip report when you get back.

[RALPH]

We will be there the same time during the last week in Nov. Never stayed there, so looking forward."

Sounds like a great plan. Congrats and have fun!

[mydisneygirls]

We will be there a week from today!!!! Hint - if you have booked a standard view room, ask for one in the lobby over the Whispering Canyon (the noise from the restaurant in not annoying - to us anyway) as in my opinion they are the best rooms at the resort. Every time you open the door, you get the awesome view of the lobby and with you going Christmas season, what a view you will have!!!! I'm sure you are going to love it.

[merciantinkerbell]

Thanks for the hint but we're restricted to a roll-in shower room for hubby. I'm sure you'll have an amazing time. If you see Stitch, give him a hug for me!

Make sure you check out all the resorts, as they ALL put on special displays for the Christmas Season. Of course, the Deluxe and DVC resorts go way overboard (NOT) but the Moderates and even the Values put on very nice displays.

Your exact time frame is when I prefer to go - the week after Thanksgiving in the US. Low(er) crowd levels and all the special shows and decorations...

Happy Planning!!

PopPhan - do you know when the Gingerbread house is in Grand Floridian? We saw it on a Food network show last Christmas and would love to see it. Looks incredible.

[VWL Mom]

The GF Gingerbread house starts going up mid November and is usually done the weekend before Thanksgiving.

WL at Christmastime is my very favorite place and time to be at Disney! You are in for a treat! Enjoy!

[merciantinkerbell]

Had a call from our travel agent a few days ago saying there were no roll-in shower rooms with woods view available! Cue a panicky couple of days thinking we may have to change hotel but then they called back and we now have a courtyard view room with roll-in shower confirmed. Yay!!
So pleased that Gingerbread house at Grand Floridian will be up, think we may take a day to visit other resorts to see their Christmas decs too

[buzznwoodysmom]

We always take time out to visit just about all the deluxe resorts around the holidays.

[MNNHFLTX]

Ah, the Wilderness Lodge is one of my favorite resorts anywhere. <sigh> Happy planning to you!

[mgmnut]

Our first DVC resort stay was at Wilderness Lodge. Still my favorite resort!

[mydisneygirls]

We just got back from the WL a week ago. It was fantastic. We have stayed there for the past 6 or so years and it was a WOW!!!! this year with all the renovations they have made to the grounds and the addition of the new bar and quick service area. There is now a small pool and ping pong table near the bar area as well. Also, the new "quiet pool" is fabulous. One of these years, I hope to go during Christmas.

Holiday decorations at the Lodge lobby are beautiful
