We are *the* best spot on property (aka can you tell where I work...) -em

Originally Posted By Spirit of 74 Hey, em, can you make sure my room is still maintained for my October visit? Disney management seems to have problems in this regard.

Bad, bad show. And then there were the arguments with the front desk over the pigs throwing cig butts and trash inside the fireplace grate on the third floor lobby area. Oh and are the cleaning the new hallway carpeting at all? Just wondering. I love the lodge and want to see it maintained as it should be.

Originally Posted By Spirit of 74 ^^Yep. I know. I got a tour of the new rooms in July and they are wonderful. But with pigs as guests, lousy mousekeepers and poor maintainance, a room that's brand new in July can be in bad shape three months later.

Originally Posted By Disneymom443 I'm just looking forward to the whole experence of the lodge. I pictures look great and it is going fun.
Originally Posted By demderedoseguys ^^ I think you'll love it there. Normally we stay at the Yacht Club on our November trip and since it's been about 8 years or so since we stayed at WL, we're really looking forward to it. You're going to love the boat to MK !!!
Originally Posted By kpwdwfan The boat to MK is awesome and the views from the lakes are some of the best in WDW. Even after all these years I still get that special feeling seeing the train station and the castle in the distance as we approach MK on the boat. Thanks, I really need to go back now. Time to book another trip!!!!!
