Looking forward to your report and photos. Will be at Lodge next week.Just back from a CSR (GDT) / WL split over Thanksgiving week. Will post some pics and thoughts once I get organized, but happy to answer any questions in the meantime.
Resort side room renovations are definitely in full swing. Still a bit to go but seems like most rooms are in the fit/finish/fixtures phase...at least with what I could see when snooping through windows. Construction workers seem ok with leaving lights on and curtains open, which makes it easier at night and see what’s going on inside.
Had a great stay. Always nice to spend some quality time at the lodge.
Thanks for the information. We will be there the week of Christmas (leaving the 24th) and was hoping they would open TL. Looks like if they do it will not be the same. We like having some beverages there especially in the evening so the lack of options after 10 on our recent trips has resulting in bringing a mobile bar to the lobby or pools.So I give Disney and WL credit/kudos for ‘trying’ something, although it didn’t seem like it went so well.
As most know, Territory Lounge has yet to reopen. Well, sure enough walking back to the room around 8:20pm Thursday night (Thanksgiving night) we pass this sign:

Sure enough - they opened it for a few hours Thursday night only. Unfortunately it was a sad version of a normally fantastic resort lobby bar. All seating was removed, they barely had any alcohol stocked, and it was DEAD.
The CM at the bar was fantastic - but woefully bored. I guess maybe they misjudged holiday demand.
Hopefully they can find a way to reopen for real at some point - with Geyser Point lines being long WL really needs another adult beverage spot open right now (IMO).
A few pics.

I knew they had been playing HEA on TV nightly for a few months, but didn’t realize they had switched to Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks for the holidays. Nice touch.
Channel 74. 6:30, 8:30, 10:30pm.

Guess I will have to manage by myself
Thanks for the info!
Yes I saw that video. He was at Grand Floridian and they have the music playing there, but they DID NOT at Wilderness Lodge. So wondering if that changed yet.
