A castmember was fired at the BC for accepting cash, I don't think it's worth the risk of losing their job if someone caught them.
Glad you stated this, no cash. Gift cards are the way to go.

Neither. The lounge is right off the elevator so it faces toward Epcot facing the inner courtyard where you go in the back of the resort.
Now I'm second guessing myself. It's been a while since I've been there. Having memory failure right now.
So excited to be staying at the Wilderness Lodge for the first time from November 5 to 9! And staying at club level just makes it even better!
Early morning breakfast and evening appetizers right at 5:00 PM are the two busy times. If you want to avoid a crowd I would recommend eating a later breakfast, and hitting the second hour of the evening appetizers. We do this often because typically the crazy grabbers are out of the way by then. That's not just AKL, that's my philosophy for every lounge. If you'd like an alcoholic beverage during the day you just have to ask one of the lounge castmembers. In the evening it is out for self service. The only lounge I know that is serving the evening alcohol to guests is at the Yacht Club. I haven't heard of any other lounges choosing this system.
Have fun!

Arriving one month from today for our first AKL CL stay. Anyone been very recently that can comment on the lounge - crowding, food availability, how alcohol is served... ? I like to be prepared, especially since this is our first time traveling with DD13 in a wheelchair from spine surgery.
Someone mentioned to request zebra trail, so I did. Then I read somewhere that some of zebra trail has pool view. Given that I'm club level - IF I were to get zebra trail, I would still get savannah view correct? Savannah view is the whole reason we are staying there.
My dh and dd were on a dad/daughter trip earier this month. They changed their minds about going to MK at night and I was able to switch the passes to HS. I got TOT and RR! It took several attempts but was doable. That was 11:30-12:30p.I made our fast pass reservations this morning, so I guess we are set for BC CL May 30- June 6. Could you please add us to the list for these dates as well as GF RPC Oct. 7-12. I can't believe I just finished planning our BC trip and now it's almost time for ADRs for our October trip! But I am NOT complaining! Isn't it a good feeling when you get everything set and don't even have to think about it while you are there? There is always room for some flexibility, but no matter what, you know you have a schedule you can be happy with
On a side note, has anyone had any luck booking fast passes in the evening after using the first three? We don't usually go back at night if we are staying at GF RPC since we enjoy the band/go to dinner, but we plan to go to Epcot or HS in the evening when we are staying at BC since there isn't a band. I'm actually asking about fast passes for the good rides like Soarin and Rockin roller coaster. Are these pretty much always gone after you've used your first three? I think someone said BC has the texting service like GF does. Is this the best way to get more fast passes?
We will be stay at WL for the first time 8/7-8/16, club level standard room. This was only possible with the 30% off and free hopper pin code. We are beyond excited! We have never stayed at a deluxe resort before and CL is something we never thought we'd be able to afford. Ever.
It will be me, DH, DS13, and DD10.
A have a couple of quick questions I was hoping some of you helpful folks would know:
Are all standard club level rooms on the 7th floor? (I know deluxe rooms on any floor have CL access). We want to be on the 7th floor..
Is skim milk available?
TIA!
The BC is now serving the alcohol/beer too. I have to say it was a bit disappointing tonight because the CM said she couldn't give DH another beer for a while (her words) because he just had 2 during dinner. We are at the pool now and he wanted to sip on one while here. He didn't question it, but I am certainly going to ask one of the friendly CM's what the rule is.
Otherwise, the rooms and lounge are awesome! We did not get our full balcony but we did get our daybed. Also we can see fireworks from our room, which we love. Just the high ones as the trees obscure the lower ones.
Yes.. Al WL CL SV rooms are on the 7th floor. The only rooms not on 7th are the deluxe rooms.We will be stay at WL for the first time 8/7-8/16, club level standard room.
