OT-Great Wolf Lodge / Disney - Did I missing something?

[virginiamama]

A coworker of mine says that Disney owns Great Wolf Lodge. A relative of his just got a job at GWL and told them it was a Disney resort. I didn't dispute his claim even though it sounded totally bogus to me. I thought GWL was an independent publicly traded company separate from Disney, but I thought I'd check here with the Disney authorities. TIA!

LOL sadly your relative now works for them and doesn't know much about the new job. This is how rumors get started, huh?

We stayed in the one in Niagra Falls, CA when they first opened, lots of hipe,
over priced, I d stay back in Hershey at the Lodge again before I d ever go back there again, but then again my daughter is now 14 and our son is away at college and is 19.
