    Possible to avoid Star Wars at DHS?

    They came out of the building where you can meet Woody and Buzz, (across from TSMM) then marched down to the end of Pixar Place(away from the animation courtyard). I am not sure on the timing, my guess is it is probably random. But they were very funny, and enjoyable to watch.

    Possible to avoid Star Wars at DHS?

    @RememberWhen FYI: I thought DHS would be the worst park. My daughter loved it the most!!!! Of course she loved Disney Jr. We were tired the night before so i switched my 8am ADR for one at 10am she loved seeing the DisJr characters... We then did all the DisJr stuff and met a lot of the...

    ADR help!

    Change your flight to cuba! In all honesty HDDR was easy to get. it is going to be getting BOG on the day you want and time you want that will be difficult.

    How bad is the Wilderness Lodge construction?

    This is why I always like to book at Deluxe vs Value/Moderate. Even if i do go to the parks all day, i love them I am going home to a beautiful resort, with great views/amenities/pools etc...

    If you want to be close to MK go with WL, If that isn't a priority then go with AKL (I loved AKL and would have stayed there again, but this is my daughters first trip and I wanted to be closer to MK, without paying the Poly/Cont./GF prices)

    How bad is the Wilderness Lodge construction?

    FYI: I am going to be there for 10 days next week and I paid $266 a night for a courtyard view. I think when I originally booked it was around $320 a night for a standard room. (I did use The Awaken Summer deal the first day it came out)

    Magic Band Check at Wilderness Lodge

    Yea i prob wont change my plans, but just incase a cast member tells me I cant be there... I would leave. I don't want to be one of those entitled people that say "I spent $XXX on this trip i can do what i want" I am all for the resort hoping and always understood the pools were for guests...

    Magic Band Check at Wilderness Lodge

    I agree on the parking and pools... I am staying at WL next month, and if I could pool hop maybe i would have decided to stay somewhere different. However the beach thing I never knew. Although last time i stayed at the poly was when my parents took my family 25+ years ago. Last time I went I...

    Possible to avoid Star Wars at DHS?

    I will do my best to remember... I get back August 25th so anytime after that just reply to this message and I will let you know (If I don't remember to come back and let you know first) My daughter knows nothing about star wars, so I personally am not to worried. She is more into fun...

    Possible to avoid Star Wars at DHS?

    I know Star wars is prob hard to avoid there. (I am going in August and haven't been in 10 years) but you could always try to get a Pre-Park Opening ADR at Hollywood & Vine with Disney JR characters and then go to TSMM. finish with ToT and leave before a lot is going on. (By doing the pre-park...

    How bad is the Wilderness Lodge construction?

    Based on the size of the building it could have both... a Bar & Grill QS but also a place to eat inside with a view of Bay Lake? I have read that at the Poly the bar and grill is really only for hotel guests... as you need your MB to get into the area to eat. Maybe they are doing it this way...

    How bad is the Wilderness Lodge construction?

    Thats another reason I didn't switch. Poly/GF/Contemp would cost me about $2000+ more. and hearing that occupancy is low, which means less crowds at the pool is great!!! I honestly cant wait to be there. I doubt the construction will be that much in your face, unless you like to sit on your...

    How bad is the Wilderness Lodge construction?

    Just enjoy it, I opted to not go to AKL because this is my daughters first trip and I wanted to be close to MK. (I LOVED AKL when i stayed there 10 years ago) I got a bit luckier and upgraded my room for less money, I think I saved about $200 for the 10 day trip and also booked it on the Summer...

    How bad is the Wilderness Lodge construction?

    I would think that would be the plan. But like you said I would estimate 5-10 years before the trees start to take over again. I have never stayed at WL, but since booking last June (Before I knew about the construction) I was excited to stay there. After finding out how much construction, I...
