Which WDW resort in December? - Page 2

My vote is the Grand Floridean

LuvDisney24 · 08-29-2006

I've stayed at Contemporary and WL during Christmas time. I pick the WL. The WL is absolutely beautiful. Even if you don't stay there you must go and see it because it really is breathtaking.

I have not stayed at the GF or WL ot Christmas time, but visited both and I would reccomend both for a great holiday mood!

I have to say after staying at FT. Wilderness (not the lodge the campgrounds) this is the best place to stay during the Christmas holidays. Because the majority of the people camping there decorated their campsites. We did not :( but next time we will. They even held contest for the best decorated and it was amazing how great some were!!! even if you do not stay at Ft. W. I suggest a trip over just to look around at what great decorations the campers have!!!

This is a great idea. I took my DD on a carriage ride around Fort Wilderness in December of 2004. Some of the Campsites were really decked out!

We have stayed at the Dolphin (beautiful) and at Pop Century (not much, but price was the big thing that trip) during Christmas, but spent most of a day last year visiting the other resorts to check out the decorations - The Dolphin is very nice, Wilderness Lodge is brilliant and Contemporary is quite pretty. But our vote for No. 1 (if you can afford it) is the Grand Floridian. The full-size real Gingerbread house is amazing (they sell gingerbread men from inside it) and the entire grounds are amazing.

try WL it seems really cosey there.

lol I remember hearing the clip/clop of the carriage at night going past us. I think the campsites are totally over looked at Christmas. I know before we stayed there last year, I never thought about how beautiful it could be.

The carriage ride sounds like a must do. I'm having a very hard time deciding where to stay. The WL sounds great, but so does the BW and the GF. Decisions Decisions. I may let my husband make this choice.

I have never stayed at WL, but if that is your decision, you will be just a short boat ride away from all that Ft. W. has to see.

I hear each hotel has its own personal x-mas decorations. I have yet to be in Disney for x-mas, but all the TV specials I see always comment on the WL, GF and AKL.

KerryD · 08-30-2006

I would say the Wilderness lodge, seems so cozy there for christmas, I am on a waiting list for it, i hope i get it.
