Yup, it sure is.

Thanks for the great photos, and glad you are enjoying your time!Can't multi-quote right now, but wanted to report we are having a wonderful vacation. Parks are very crowded, but with FP+ and some ADRs and resort downtime, it's enjoyable and very doable. I visited WL today and took many photos. WiFi is very slow so I can only post a few now, but I'll post more next week from home. We ate at Trail's End for breakfast and I was able for the first time to watch them shod the horses. It was so much fun to see close-up at the Blacksmith between the horse stables and ponies.
The scaffolding is currently near the Bear Face rooms in the North Wing. The scaffolding will be making its way throughout the resort for probably the remainder of the year. The cowbells are alive and well and so is Randy S. who is now the Recreation manager at CR where we're staying. He was the WL CL manager for about 4 years and while he is greatly missed from WL, CR is very lucky to have him on their team.

About to book 5 nights in a Deluxe Room - Club Level Access 4/16-4/21 for a little solo get away and wanted some quick feedback on room choices when I do the check in information.
The rooms behind the scaffolding are vacant, so you don't have to worry about that. They seem to have finished with the south wing and are working on the north wing. If you don't want to risk being in a room that is near the scaffolding then you could try for an inner courtyard view in the south wing. The rooms that face the villas pool are also courtyard view rooms. That section is free of scaffolding but doesn't have a view of Bay Lake.Scaffolding! holy cow! So now I'm wondering if I should ask for a courtyard view without scaffolding?!?
I understand that the resorts are getting new washing machines/dryers that you can use a credit card with instead of bringing change. Does anyone know if they are in VWL yet? Also, does anyone know if it will start charging DVC guests staying on points? It has always been free to use the machines for DVC members staying at a DVC resort. Since we usually stay in a studio that has been a great perk for us. I hope it doesn't get taken away. Any insight would be very helpful!
And I love this thread! Since we are returning to stay at the VWL this summer (July 8-16), I've been checking out all the tips here. We haven't been here since 2005 so I'm excited to be back. Love the ambiance. And everyone is so friendly, helpful, and positive on this thread.
Thanks for any answers you can give!
We are excited to be staying for the first time at VWL in 2 weeks. My DS14 is interested in doing the fishing that they offer. Would anyone have any type of guestimate as to how much that is $$? Also any other activities that would be great for first timers? TIA
It is good to know that they are getting new mattresses, but to be perfectly honest I could sleep on a pile of bricks after walking 14 miles a day at the parks.Great pics! Are all of the rooms getting new mattresses? That is good to know that they are comfortable!
Me too! I honestly get some of the best sleep in disney because I'm so exhausted at the end of each day. I sleep like a baby!It is good to know that they are getting new mattresses, but to be perfectly honest I could sleep on a pile of bricks after walking 14 miles a day at the parks.
Does anyone know how strict they are being at the new splash pad on heights? My brother wants to stay at my WL, but his girls are a little over the height and he is considering another resort where they can have more pool time.

I have a 2 year old- I will have to enter the splash pad with my son. He won't nkr should he go in there on his own. I have never seen Disney scold someone for this type of policy. Sometimes that is frustrating. I want other kids to have fun which is why I don't let my young toddler play in an older kid area and it would be nice if sometimes parents would parent their older kids in a younger kid area. like my son gets intimidate with bigger kids rough housing near him or squirting water in his face (of course) and no one seems to care. That's a little frustrating.Our youngest son is 47 inches, so he's still within the height requirement, but during our stay (weekend of March 27-29) we didn't see any CMs monitoring height requirements. In fact, saw a couple of adults using the splash pad area with their children. I'm not recommending this, just mentioning that it occurred during our stay without interruption.
