Room upgrades at Wilderness Lodge — they’re rare, but possible!

If you’re visiting Wilderness Lodge during a slow time of year, you may just get lucky and be offered a free room upgrade without even having to ask. If it’s a busier time of year, though, you may just need to speak up and ask if an upgrade is possible.

Here’s how: Be polite, smile, and in your sweetest, most chipper voice, ask the cast member if a complimentary room upgrade is available. Be sure to use the word “complimentary,” otherwise they will probably end up charging you.

The cast member will let you know if a free upgrade is available — and whether it’s indeed a complimentary upgrade or an extra cost per night.

If there is a cost, we hear that sometimes, the room upgrade fee is cheaper at this point than it would have been if you booked ahead of time.

Check out some room upgrade stories over at the WDWForGrownups forums and some advice over at mousebuzz.
