question on WL

sue299 · 05-11-2008

When DH and I went in Nov we stayed at POP. I was happy staying there as we were not in the room that much. I figure we will probably be that way when we go in September, but I do want to take a slower pace and "smell the roses"

I just looked up and the price difference between the two for our length of stay would be $1000 - preferred at POP, standard at WL. Now, it's not like I really have alot of money, but since my trip put on the disney visa would be deferred payment for six months, I could definitely have the difference in that time.

Only DH and I are going.

for those who have stayed there, and values..... is it really worth the price difference to do this luxury once?

For just the two of you - I would give the nod to Wilderness Lodge. It's a great resort to "stop and smell the roses". It's beautiful and romantic. Really, an amazing resort. Artist's Point is a terrific grown-up restaurant and although no Disney Resort lacks for kids - WL will probably be a little more laid back than the Pop. You might find you want to spend a little more time at the resort - WL is definitely more than just a place to sleep.

OMGosh, I would say go and spoil yourself. You won't regret it. It will add so much to your experience.

I kind of am in the same boat here. I want to stay at the polly but my DH stays home so to me paying the extra $ isnt worth it because we are only there to sleep. I always stay in the value but for my May trip I needed to upgrade to a 5 person room so we will be giving POR riverside a try.

Wilderness Lodge has plenty of what Pop lacks:TREES!!!!!!!
And a direct boat to the MK

I would absolutely do it. I have stayed at WL and it's possibly my favorite resort(I'm torn between that and Boardwalk). Days when you take it "slow" you will love the theming and relaxed feel of this resort.

Daisee · 05-11-2008

I say do it. WL is my fav. resort. It is so peaceful.. you just don't get that at POP.

sue299 · 05-11-2008

okay, I'm bummed. I decided to change and they don't have standard rooms available.... instead of $2500 it would be $3300 and that is a little too much.

They have a standard view at the animal kingdom, but I don't know about that....

mommyof2 · 05-11-2008

AK, AK!!!!!! I say go for it- we are on a wait list for June and are really hoping we get it (fingers crossed!!).

tonyksl · 05-11-2008

I really enjoy staying at the deluxe resorts for the extra feel of magic myself. We stayed at CBR once and found those few extra inches of bed width to be nice. Of course, there are four of us and I think a single king or queen bed would meet my needs if it were just the wife and I.

jk8 · 05-11-2008

When we were first in that position I chose to go with POFQ. It is a nice place to relax and very romantic for 2. Have you priced that one?

I agree that that stantard price for WL would be better than the upgrade. Maybe try checking back if you don't like POFQ.

My brother once took a standard room at AK. His opinion was the money is only worth it if you can see the animals from your room.

Sue, why not split the difference and stay in a moderate resort? It would be much nicer than a value resort, but not nearly the price.

sue299 · 05-11-2008

the only moderate at standard price available was the CS

From what I understand... it doesn't seem to get too many great reviews. More like a conference center.

**Dopey** · 05-11-2008

never mind

But much nicer, quieter than the values, maybe?
