Hi, arrived here Saturday for a wonderful 2 week stay at Wilderness Lodge. It's a beautiful resort. There's been a lot of concern about construction here by posters as they had been repairing the waterfall and are closing the pool in September for a length refurb.
The waterfall and creek are complete and there are no signs of construction anywhere. It looks amazing. As far as I can figure thee won't be any further construction until the pool closure Sept 3.

Crowds at the parks were surprisingly low yesterday. Very little waits except the obvious rides like Soarin and 7Dwarf Mine Train. I was at both MK AND EPCOT yesterday and both were not that busy. Hope this keeps up the next 2 weeks!!

Had dinner at the garden grill....yes, it is rotating. Food was good. Character interaction very good.

For those coming this week....humidity is very, very high right now. Be prepared! I was sweating at 11:00 last evening still!

Water park day today at Typhoon Lagoon!

Thanks for the update! We are checking into WL a week from today for our 2 week vacation as well. Glad to hear the pool and creek are up and running with what appears to be no construction interference! :clappy: Hope the crowds stay the same too for us.
