Contemp/Balcony + 999HM event ?

[lindamg]

The simple part: do the Garden view Wing rooms at the Contemp. on the upper floors have balconies?

If you want another question to answer here is my dilemma: I am registered for the 999 HHBall on Oct. 30. Just got a room at the WL for $176 a night. Now I get my confimation for the event stating that I can get a garden wing room at the Contemp for $222 a night, plus each room comes with a suprise gift. I really don't like the Contemporary, but I am not sure if I should change the first night of my ressie to the Contemp. so I don't miss out on the "surprise gift". Never having done a merchandising event before, I'm not sure if it would be worth the extra $50, plus losing a night at the WL.

Any opinions?

For what it's worth, I never thought I wanted to stay at CR, but then we had to one year. We decided to extend our vacation by one day after we arrived, and most of the rooms were booked because of the marathon. We moved from POFQ to CR for the last night. I ended up loving it. We were in a first floor south garden wing room. We loved the space, we loved the proximity to MK, and the inside of the resort has a lot more atmosphere than the outside. I'd do it just to see what the gift is and to experience an additional resort.

I don't think that the second floor garden wing rooms have balconies, but since we were on the first floor, I'm not positive.
