I did it! I switched from Contemporary to Wilderness Lodge concierge

**WishUponAStar** · 11-13-2005

OK, I've been driving myself CRAZY contemplating if I REALLY REALLY wanted to stay at the Contemporary. My husband, who I am suprising with the trip, didn't seem very impressed when I showed him pictures of the new refurbed rooms there (It was "too urban NYC" for him) & has mentioned on numerous occassions how much he loved the WL and never got to stay there.

Sooo, in my heart I KNOW the right thing to do would be to suprise him and stay at the Wilderness Lodge instead. Here's the magical part...

The reservations agent was able to get me a 7 night concierge level room, with a 7 day park hopper plus extras tickets & with the Disney Dining plan for $200 CHEAPER than what I had booked at the Contemporary NON-concierge!!!

I was SOOO excited & I know this will COMPLETELY blow my husband's mind... he would have NEVER thought I would do this for him!!

I want to know all about the WL concierge!! Where can I see pictures or read about it? I've NEVER stayed there or stayed at ANY concierge so I am soooo excited. He is going to freak!!!

Oh, and even though the trip is not until August the agent said I can make all my ADRs for this trip on February 20th!!! So crazy! I can't wait!

That's GREAT news! Congratulations!

**WishUponAStar** · 11-13-2005

All I could find were some old reviews & the regular room pictures? Anyone else know where I can see pictures of the new lounge, read about the concierge amenities, etc? I am so excited! UGh, only 270-something days to go!

WOW! That's excellent Wish!

**MissDisney** · 11-14-2005

Sounds like this will be a very adventurous, luxurious trip! I think you made a GREAT decision!

BuzzLightyear · 11-14-2005

Wow, thats great.
We stayed at the Contemp and the WL. Both were great, but the WL is just a little better in my opinion.
I remember seeing where the WL concierge rooms were. They have a great view of the courtyard, pool area and bay lake. You are gona be staying in grand style!

nicatene1 · 11-14-2005

How great for you and your DH. The WL is a beautiful resort and I enjoyed my stay there. We stayed in a suite and it was beautiful. Will this be a surprise for your DH or are you going to tell him of the change in plans?

He doesn't even know we're going OR that I've saved 1/2 my paychecks to pay for the trip, I plan on "wrapping a Disney suprise" under the Christmas tree. He'll freak! He'll be like, "is this a JOKE?" Then he'll say "Who's paying for this?" haha!

jk8 · 11-14-2005

Wow, those pictures look great!

**WishUponAStar** · 11-14-2005

Thank you twinsplusone!!! Maybe I will print out some of those pictures and wrap them in the "Disney Suprise" present. Thank you!
