You can get 2 or 3 bedroom condos. They have full kitchens and are HUGE. If you go with another family, you can split the 3 bedroom and there is enough room for 15 people to sleep. The nice part of the Wilderness on the Lake, is you can use all the Wilderness pools too but the Lake resort is not as big and less KarenKalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05093578925011315600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4732255176396931795.post-47846668069969903902009-01-04T12:07:00.000-05:002009-01-04T12:07:00.000-05:00For the end of posts like this, sounds like you ne...For the end of posts like this, sounds like you need a little "*sad face* Dawn" signature.
