The Gourmet Grilled Cheese looked tempting for a moment, but only with a cup of Chili! Oh the horror -- no more snack credit chili? NOT HAPPY!They're are several on FB including these that I credit to a certain Humphrey's page. . .
It was solicited. Thank you! Very helpful.
I agree with DiznyDi--take the boat. You can take a bus, but the boat is so much more enjoyable. We've only eaten at GP once (back in May), and it was superb, especially the salmon BLT I had. We didn't try a drink at the bar since we were staying at the Lodge and had, ummm, access to our own stock of wine which we may or may not have poured into a plastic cup and carried with us. I understand it can get crowded sometimes, but I don't think you'll have much issue finding seats with just two of you, and since the temperatures will likely be moderate, you shouldn't have to be under an awning or roof to eat.
We're glad you stumbled upon us and hope you come back often!
I wouldn't expect you to have difficulty in finding a spot for lunch as most resort locations are slower at that time as so many are at the parks then. Christmas time is such a great time at the lodge so be certain to leave a bit of time to take in the beautiful decorations too! 
Thank you for the information and the welcome!RellingTwin - so very nice to have you join in our fun!
The best (and only in my opinion) way to travel to Wilderness Lodge from MK is by boat! There is no walking path or monorail access. Once off the boat at WL its a short walk to Geyser Point. I don't think you'll have any difficulty finding seating. But if you do, there should be other seating available nearby; by the pool or the new outdoor seating by Roaring Fork and the main lodge.
Again, welcome!

Now that business is taken care of,
Thanks! We will not be is a hurry (I refuse to hurry on vacation!) Since you will be there that week are you planning to go to Moonlight Magic? I love Disney in early Dec. But I try not to talk it up....Can't let too many people in on the secret!RellingTwin...welcome to our little thread where we talk all things Wilderness Lodge, VWL and CCV. As Di and Sleepy have pointed out, the boat directly from Wilderness Lodge to MK is a great way to travel between the two. The fastest is probably the bus. If you are not in a hurry, there's a third option.
There is a boat that circles Bay Lake stopping at Wilderness Lodge, then Fort Wilderness, then The Contemporary Resort. There is a second boat that runs in the opposite direction. If you get on one of these boats coming from Fort Wilderness, the next stop is the Contemporary. We have often taken that boat to CR and then walked to MK from there. We don't mind walking and it can be faster if the MK boat wait is running long.
As for Geyser Point, on our last trip we found it very crowded on the weekends at meal times. During the week we had much better luck but we tried to avoid it right around noon or 6:00 pm when so many people are looking for a bite to eat. We may bump into you there as the week you will be there is a very popular one for DVC members and us VWL Groupies!
I'm also considering attending the Midnight Magic in EPCOT for our stay. I might be able to talk my mom into coming along, it's been almost a decade since she's stepped inside a Disney Park. There's no point in assuming my dad will make it, 9PM is long past his bed time.We would like to go to Moonlight Magic, assuming we remember to book it!

). You can meet them in the horse barn during the day. The ride is memorable, the lights impressive (the RVs more impressive - Jeese Louise $).
Happy Anniversary @Icecoldpenguin and @audipolo!
