CP and AP collaborative post!
CP:
So Crown_Princess, AP, AP's parents, and our buddy Matt finished up dinner and were dropped off at the Contemporary Resort, because we wanted to take the ferry to Wilderness Lodge. We did this because we had never rode a Disney ferry before. First, we had to get our castle topper, CP's bouquet, and our anniversary layer from the bell hop (it was being stored in the kitchen). Note: All the staff at CR and WL were fascinated by the mysterious cake boxes requiring cold storage. While waiting we saw some Wishes from the front of CR.
After we got our cumbersome parcels we walked thru CR to the dock to take the highly anticipated ferry that went oooohhh...400 yds?!
We liked the ferry but got the biggest kick out of this short short distance.
We walked down the WL dock and saw the back of the lodge for the first time (had only been there for dinner once).
AP:
We were excited because we’d be staying Club Level (how often can one person say that?) and we were hoping we’d have a swank suite. Check in was a breeze, and I don’t know if it’s just standard Disney service, but we were treated very well at check in. The host called CP her Mrs. name and made her night! The bell hop chatted with us on the way up, and then something terrible happened. I checked my wallet and realized I only had three bucks. Never have I seen someone so disappointed at their tip, and we felt horrible. I was cheap tipper guy. I had visions of bell hops “accidently” running into my with their luggage carts and burning his likeness in effigy.
Luckily, my new wife saved the day (hooray!) by running back downstairs with a larger tip. Now, back to the room. We were anticipating something swank and romantic, and what we got was…”eh”. It was neither swank, nor romantic. It did have a huuuuuge water jet tub, which was nice, but we had a lovely balcony view of the rooftop. Also, regarding said tub, you literally had to jump over the edge to get in. It was made out of hard granite on the edges, and the edges were about two feet tall. Not only that, but it extended over a good foot and a half before the actual tub part started, which made things even more interesting.
CP:
AP is leaving out some good stuff here...the large tub was good for "honeymoon activities." We definitely spilt some drinks, which we got from the FREE concierge level club. I can't remember the cute name they had for it. But there were snacks at almost all waking hours. And late in the evening they still had free alcohol (we don't drink much) and snacks. So, of course, being our first real night not dead tired - although we were getting there - I grabbed a couple drinks, sliced up some wedding cake, and we piled in the .....bathroom!
Well, since it was the most interesting part of the room, it seemed appropriate. We ended up spilling our drinks instead of drinking them. And it took two of us to clean it up: me to lean over the huge tub, and DH to hold my hips so I wouldn't fall. hehehe
AP:
On the plus side, we did get the special “yellow” cards that signified club level. We felt all fancy schmancy when we got into the elevator and had to put in the room key to get to the top floor. I actually considered waiting until an elevator was full and then whipping out the key, just so everyone could marvel in my awesomeness.
Anyways, we went to bed, and the next morning we woke up ready to tackle the day. We wanted to do a resort day to relax, so while Crown_Princess relaxed, I decided to meander about and take some pics of the lodge. It truly is a pretty resort.
The homicidal bath tub
CP has never met anyone else who spreads out their toiletries and actually lights the candles in the bathroom; but believes it's great hotel fun!

The really cool iron fireplace
It’s almost a scene from Deliverance. Okay, not really.

That’s funny, I told my wife the same thing. Wait, was that too much information?
Seriously, how can you not love this?
Pinch the nose!

More to come soon!
I'm glad you mentioned the jalapeno pretzal... I'll be sure to go on a hunt for one when we go in September! I can't believe the alligator lady asked if you actually got married. 
I also liked the Nemo on speed comment. I've never seen the show but I'm glad you enjoyed it! Can't wait to read more! 
Yeah, I forgot about flights of wonder. I dunno, it's not that wondrous anymore when you've seen it 6 times. It's fun to see that same CM year after year though
Poop!
I know DH and I wanted to go back for a mid-year trip on our passes last year and since he moved from Ohio back to MI and we had just bought a condo we had to put it on hold. But, we ended up squeezing in a trip 2 weeks before our APs expired, so hopefully you will get that chance too
