I know that this has been asked a dozen times or more, in some way or another. I've looked at previous threads and haven't seen just these two in comparison. So, here goes...currently I am booked at Wilderness Lodge for a girl's only trip in July. It's just me and my friend. Celebrating my 50th, her first time at Disney, and trying to erase an absolutely horrible year for her. I have a nature view room booked at WL and I am hoping to get one of the rooms where we could POSSIBLY see some of the fireworks from Magic Kingdom. But I was playing around with the reservations today and saw a deluxe villa at OKW for a little cheaper. And IF, and that is a big IF, a discount comes out, OKW will probably be even cheaper. Especially since WL is not usually included in the discounts. Our plans are: arrival day (we will arrive really early. Our flight gets into Orlando at 8:05 in the morning) we will probably just relax and hang around the pool/resort until our room is ready. If it's ready early enough we might try and nap, otherwise we are planning on Disney Springs for shopping and dinner and then back to the resort. I'm sure we will be asleep early. Especially since we will have been up since 3:00 am. Tuesday is Animal Kingdom day. I'm planning on going early and being done by early afternoon. AK is typically not an all day park. But with no more fast passes, that might change some. Wednesday is Epcot. Thursday is Magic Kingdom. Friday is a Magic Kingdom day too. But that can change. The only reason that I have it booked again is if I can't snag a Cinderella's Royal Table for Thursday. Cindy is my friend's favorite and she really wants to see the inside of the castle. So, that's my first priority. I'm still leaning towards WL, but just wanted to know what other people thought.
