I have been pm -ing, and emailing circus girl and knew we would be here together . As a long time fan of her pics I just did a few knowing the pro was coming
I tipped the "lodgekeeping" each day and got a towel thing each time.
Have to say that the busses to/from MK have been super fast. Wish I knew about it before. I love to visit WL from the mono resorts and usually take the boat. That is so much longer!!! However time and weather will dictate your choice
Cobbler and cognac is yum! Brings out the cinnamon !!!
Yeah, if there's another resort at Disney that has the level of theming that WL has, I haven't seen it.
(Although I thought the lobby at Poly used to be close).
Might want to do splash pad on Thursday. I'm two hours north of WDW, and were supposed to get drowned, Friday.
Does anyone have pics of the renovated pool?? I've been searching and can't find ANY!!!
The new splash pad area looks really cute, but I can see I will have to start prepping my son for the fact that he won't be able to go in it. He's only 8, but he's a very tall, skinny guy. He left 48 inches in the dust awhile ago. I don't think he'd mind missing those slides, because he would prefer the big slide anyway, but that dump bucket is going to be hard for him to resist!
my daughter as well will be disappointed, i think. i'm a little surprised by the 48" cutoff. i get the point, but i bet several kids just past that height will be bummed.
not sure it'll matter anyway for when we're there. while the weather looks beautiful this week, it takes a pretty cold turn next week while we're there, of course!
and a special thank you to Circus Girl - I mean, I truly needed a short "get away" and your pictures and my imagination, Thank you VERY MUCH!
- Will remember the busses to MK _ just hope it holds true in June!
- cobbler and... Gran Marnier for me! yum indeed...
Animal Kingdom Lodge was designed by the same architect and has a lot of themeing, too. I doubt any other resort can surpass the WL and AKL for their beauty. WL is my favorite, of course.
Thank you, Circus Girl for posting those wonderful pictures. We are arriving on Saturday and with all the stress at work, trying to get things done before we leave, I needed the reminder of what was waiting for us.
Our daughter, son-in-law and two grandchildren arrive today. They have rearranged their schedules for Thursday and Friday so that they can take advantage of the new splash pad and the swimming pool while the weather is warm. I am so glad that they will be able to try out the new splash pad. After watching it getting constructed I would have been sad if they couldn't use it. By the time we get there on Saturday. it will be too cold to swim. But at least it will be warmer than Chicago.
Thanks for the heads up on the splash pad. These grandchildren have been to the WL once before, back in Feb 2013, and they loved the slide. As long as that is open, they'll be fine.I want to let you know that unfortunately the splash pad has not been open the past two days. They are working on some kind of problem, don't know when they hope to get it going. The two hot tubs at the main pool were also drained and closed today. The hot tub at the villas is open. Perhaps you could ask if it is possible to go to the pool at the Grand if splashing is a crucial piece of the fun you are counting on. That said, the water in the main pool is very very warm so there may be good swimming fun even on a cooler day.
