Hi Kelly!
You've chosen a WONDERFUL resort for your Disney trip! I absolutely adore the Wilderness Lodge and never pass up a chance to stay there!
Personally, I like to go ahead and book my Disney resort as soon as I have my dates set. Once I do this, I can breathe a little easier and begin planning things like dining and special activities for the family.
If you would like to go ahead and book now, you can do so without too many worries. It is
almost always possible to apply a newly released discount or promotion
to an existing reservation. As long as the hotel and room category you
booked is available under the promotion, it can be applied. If the
discount is not available with your current resort choice, you are often
given the opportunity to change resorts and/or room categories.
We've done this many times over the past years and always have had great luck! The best bet is to keep an eye on the
Special Offers page of DisneyWorld.com. This page will announce the current discounts and promotions available to guests.
Have a wonderful vacation and I hope you grab a great deal!
