The inner courtyard of Wilderness Lodge, right by the stream before the waterfall and Frontierland, right beside Big Thunder and the rafts for Tom Sawyer.

And by the way, you will love the Lodge. Best resort on property hands down. We were there last year during construction and it didn't bother us at all. Granted, there is more construction this year than last, but from everything I have seen, it won't hurt anything. We'll be there in ten days!

The bike ride from WL to FW is very cool. We did it last year for the first time and really enjoyed it. Fort Wilderness is as close as you'll ever get to the Triple R (Spin and Marty). The ride is relatively short, and nice, and the fort is very cool.

Yeah, we will be there in mid May and it's our entire family's favorite ride. I know my son will be severely disappointed if it's down. I'm hoping its just a rumor.

Is there any truth in the rumor that Big Thunder will be down from April-July 2016? I've seen it on some forums dating back to August 2015, but nothing official. Does anybody have the inside scoop?

This is the most informative response I've seen on this forum!! Thanks a bunch. I'm still interested in what others have to say, I'm gauging all of my options. I get the strong feeling that once these cabins are built, the price of WL will skyrocket, both traditional rooms and DVC. Would you...

My family (6 year old boy, 2 year old girl, and my wife) go to WDW annually. We stay at WL for nearly every trip. Actually, my kids would be heartbroken if we stayed anywhere else. That being said, I have noticed that it is getting more and more difficult to get a room at WL. If you don't...

I have absolutely zero desire to go into debt for Disney or anything else. If the wife and I don't have the cash on hand, we won't do it, plain and simple. Just trying to see what others have done. I always assumed that most resales were probably people who did finance the purchase, got in...

Does anybody finance DVC or do you just drop the cash straight down? What's the general opinion?

Does anybody know when they might start to offer these for sale? My wife, our kids, and I absolutely love the Lodge and stay there every time we go. We have been tossing the idea of DVC around for a while now, but haven't pulled the trigger because of the cost. That being said, I have a...

Cabins along the water??? This is the first I've heard of this. What cabins?

Rent a stroller. Kingdom Stroller rentals or one of the many other stroller rental companies do very well. Its easy as can be. You reserve the stroller, tell them what day you need it delivered, they deliver it to your resort, you pick it up, use it for the week and drop it off at the resort...

Back in June 2011 my wife and son and I (before daughter) got an upgrade at WL from a 5th floor woods view to a 2nd floor inner courtyard view bunk-bed room. The A/C in our original room did not work and the supposed only other room available was the 2nd floor (room 2109). It turned out to be...

1. Sip a bourbon on the balcony/patio at WL just surveying the grounds. 2. Stroll through the territory at WL 3. Watch my kids play on the jungle-gym at the beach at WL. 25 days and a wake up!

The ABC Commissary is atrocious. Horrible food, worst in the park IMO.

I'm considering it, but like ShookieJones says, I kind of like the lobby experience and being welcomed, eventhough I have stayed at the Lodge a ton of times.

Yup. Back in May 2011 my wife and I were (and still are) fed up with work and said, "Screw it. Lets go to WDW. We booked for June, which was about two weeks away. Flew in with our little boy and had one of the best trips we have ever had. The spontaneous nature of it made it all the more...

Wilderness Lodge elevator.

To each his own. WL is our home away from home. Its relaxing to me and mine and that's all that matters to me.
