Feb. 2 - 6: BW view rooms 5015 and 5017. Terrific views of Illuminations and Wishes. 5015 (studio) has one of the awful balconies that is small, high, thick and solid, no railing -- worthless IMHO. Fortunately 5017 (1 bedroom) has a long, wide one, short with a small railing. It is also covered (nice if it rains). I called twice to have the bedskirt in 5015 replaced because the hem was totally ripped and it was easy to trip on it at night. Also called twice to have the sofabed fixed. DH and I together could barely operate it. The night maintenance person had trouble also. After 2 more calls it was fixed and worked great. It is annoying to me that mousekeeping does not report these issues. They certainly see them when making the bed and putting sheets on the sofabed.
Feb. 6 - 9: preferred view rooms 5072 and 5074. Fabulous view of pool, Swan and canal. 5072 (1 bedroom) has no balcony off bedroom and a small one off living room. The sink trap in 5072 was leaking badly so we had to have maintenance come, but it was fixed on the first call.
THE WHITE TENT IS GONE (though fence is still in place)! Workers told me there will be a croquet area where the old red office building was. You could see some stakes marking it out. Progress on the units seems very slow. They did not look much different than when we were there last month. Workers said that there will be a courtyard type area in front of the BW side villas. When I raised the issue of intruders, I was told the picket fence would be a deterrent (let's hope that those closing down Jellyrolls at night don't decide to take a shortcut over the fence).
I am bummed because we must now wait 8 months to go back. 4 visits in 5 months has spoiled us.

) Maybe the a.c. units are in need of replacement or cleaning soon??
but then again I had my 6 yr. old ds who is noisy enought himself!
