NEWS FROM THE LODGE
CURRENT/UPCOMING/RECENT REHABS:
SILVER CREEK is currently undergoing a rehab and has been drained. The lobby bridge is closed. The creek should be completed and re-filled the first week of July 2014. Photos taken 6/8 by hstrickland are located HERE.
WILDERNESS LODGE/SILVER CREEK POOL. UPDATE 6/18: The WL pool closure was publicly confirmed HERE. The pool will be closed 9/3 - 11/27. Guests may use the CR, FW and VWL pools. Transportation will be provided.
EpcotBill provided us on 6/18 with the following TA information:
In addition, the Silver Creek Springs Pool at Disneys Wilderness Lodge will be closed for refurbishment Sept. 3-Nov. 27, 2014. During this time, the leisure pool at The Villas at Disneys Wilderness Lodge will remain open. Guests will also have the opportunity to visit either the Main Pool at Disneys Contemporary Resort or the Meadow Swimmin Pool at Disneys Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground. Complimentary transportation will be provided to both of these neighboring resorts.
If the pool was your Clients primary reason for choosing Disneys Wilderness Lodge during this timeframe, please consider working with your Client to find an alternative Walt Disney World Resort hotel that will suit their needs.
SFunaro was told on 6/18 that they are putting in a fence, a sidewalk around the pool and kid's splash area.
As more details emerge, I will continue to update this section.
6/6/14 - Wilderness Lodge POOL WORK PERMITS, found online by TheLodgeLady, show "Main pool and deck area" work to be performed. The permits were filed at the end of 2013. On 6/10, hstrickland was told that the kiddie pool will be replaced with a splash pad water feature area. Other pool area work will be done, but specifics are unknown at this time. Some have reported that that guests with reservations that overlap with the pool rehab will be contacted by mail, presumably at least 60 days prior to the rehab.
VWL: All villas have received a hard goods rehab that begun January 2014 and was completed at the end of March 2014.
