The dining plan is a break even deal for most people, and that is when you would have ordered all that food normally, without the dining plan. If you plan to eat a sit down table service meal every night for dinner, especially if they are character meals, then the dining plan might be worth it. But if you don't plan to eat sit down dinners every night then you might want to eat out of pocket.I need some help making a decision. We are a family of 5 (myself, hubby, three kids ages 14, 11, and 5) planning on staying at the Wilderness this spring. We can't decide between a Studio Villa or a Deluxe Room Club Level. Also can't decide about the meal plan. We stayed at the Wilderness in 2010 and loved it, but we were a family of 4 then in a regular non-club level room. Stayed at PORS in 2014 with the meal plan, but disliked how small the rooms were, the lack of a balcony, how spread out the resort is, and how long we had to wait for the buses, etc. So, we know we will enjoy the Wilderness, but is the Club Level worth it? Also the meal plan is so pricey now that we have 4 Disney adults--is it worth it? Thanks for any input!!!!
The nice thing about WL is the easy access to Magic Kingdom. The boat is a great way to travel to and from the park. There is also a direct bus to MK.Looking into Christmas villa rentals and we're torn between savannah view AK and standard view Wilderness. Which would you choose?
I would hope that they would allow a tall 5 year old to play with their sibling in the splash pad. I would think that the purpose of the height requirement is to keep out the older kids, not a five year old.Quick question on the Splash Pad area: Do they strictly enforce the 48 inch rule? I ask because I have a very big 5 year old DD (probably 50'') who will be really sad not to play on the splash pad, especially since she has a very small 4 year old little brother who will fit unde 48 inches. Have stayed at the Poly before and she may have been 48+ at the time and they did not say anything to us or others who appeared over 48 inches. She knows how to be careful around the little ones.
Yes, the woods view rooms are now classified as standard view. We have a standard view room booked and hope to get one of the nice wood view room. But there are still standard view rooms that you could get instead of the former woods view rooms.So with the construction, has Disney eliminated the woods view category? If so, are those rooms now classified under a standard view?
