We see them at Epcot all the time. As we exit the park, they are always running around outside Electric Umbrella

There are many video tours of room and pictures online. Google Wilderness Lodge Villas

Best Sit Down food in MK. We love it and my kids ask to eat there each time we return to WDW. Be sure to request Robert (from Atlanta) to be your server. He gets all the cheesy jokes, and does an incredible job. There are some kid options on the menu.

if you arrive at MK, you can present the voucher at the parking toll booth. They will likely allow you through without charge

I would avoid the transponder with a rental car. They are more expensive. There is a cash lane at each toll location. I believe the total is $3 each way. Much less than the rental car company will charge.

construction was not an issue. Actually it was a perk, because the place was less crowded.

If you are looking for quick and easy, 417 is the easiest way to get to WDW, but the toll is higher than I-4.

Bring Quarters!

Walk to the TTC and take the monorail. Uber would be the least expensive way if you don't want to ride the monorail.

Next time, I would recheck your rental deal. My last visit, I have a 7 day rental at a base price of $120 ($176 with taxes). I find that checking the rental prices closer to your travel date will result in better rates. But if the hotel is $20 per day, I would say ditch the car and use uber.

Last week, we got to Maelstrom at Rope Drop. The wait was about 15 minutes. BUT, there were no FP reservations until 11. So we rode it three times because the line moves rather quickly. About 15 minute wait each time. At 11am when FP riders arrived, the wait jumped up to 90 minutes.

This restaurant is like a little oasis in the middle of MK. Excellent food, great theme, and ask for Robert to be your waiter

Staying on Property eliminates the need for any transportation. We always bring breakfast items to eat in the room, saving us $. Plus many moderate resorts are going for 160 per night, which is not much more than an offsite hotel. Yes, using uber will be inexpensive since you are splitting...

at the end of the night when the bus pulls up to the theme park stop full of guests trying to get back to the resort, and a family gets on and stands in the aisle so there is no more room to board, even though there is plenty of room in the back of the bus.

I requested Cabanas and a high floor. I got Ranchos on the first floor. lol But we were pleased with the resort overall. Our room location actually worked out good as it was very close to the dig site pool, and my kids loved that!
