Hi Lori, and welcome back to planDisney! I’m always excited to chat with a fellow
Wilderness Lodge fan. There’s nothing like walking through the doors and seeing that grand lobby for the first time!
In my experience, the option to add access to the Old Faithful Club for an additional fee depends on whether there’s capacity during your visit. I spoke with a Cast Member to double check and they said there’s no way to know ahead of time if this will be available for your stay. You'll have to check with the front desk when you get there. But I’m wishing on a star that you’ll be able to enjoy club level access in August!
You’re coming at an extra magical time this summer because there are so many new things going on… in fact, I’ve been very tempted to book a last minute visit!
At
Hollywood Studios, there are now two new stage shows—
The Little Mermaid - A Musical Adventure and
Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After. And over in
EPCOT you can enjoy drinks and small bites at the new
GEO-82, which shares a home with
Spaceship Earth! The lounge is for guests ages 21 and up and there’s even a
Fireworks Experience you can book for a unique view of the
Luminous nighttime spectacular.
But what I’m most looking forward to is the brand new evening parade,
Disney Starlight, which debuts in
Magic Kingdom on July 20th, just in time for your trip! Check out the
preview on Disney Parks Blog to start getting excited.
I hope you have a magical stay at Wilderness Lodge in August and enjoy all of the new happenings. And if you have any other questions, don’t hesitate to visit us again at planDisney.
