Thanks for the great pictures! I have that 8212 is a handicapped accessible room without a walk-in shower in the master bathroom. Is that correct?

JoAnne

Yes that is right...the only difference that I know of is that you don't have the rainfall in the master- but that did not matter to my parents (who stayed in the master)...here is the shower/bath combo in the master

But you still get the great jet tub

Is there a walk in shower in the other bathrooms???

In the standard room there is a walk-in shower with a glass door instead of the tub with shower curtain shown in the picture in the master bedroom, both in the dedicated 2 BR and the 1 BR. There is also a jetted tub in the master BR. The studio has a tub and shower combined.

Actually I meant to ask if there was a roll in shower in the 2 BR accessible room??????

Report on 8226 -- great room. Like others have mentioned about the 26 and 28 rooms, it's probably most accurate to say it's a straight on Grand Floridian view. From the living room, that's your primary view, along with the monorails going into the contemporary. You can see the castle from the left part of the room and space mountain from the far left part of the room near the window. From the bedroom, which is closer to the MK, your view of the MK is a bit more centered. On the 12th floor, a bit of neck bending to see space mountain is not a problem. I would think, from being in this room, that the XX28 studios' view is straight ahead at the side of the contemporary but with a good view of the castle if you go out on the balcony. Given, the choice, I think I'd take a 20 studio over a 28, unless the 28 was on a much higher floor.

Our "high floor" request initially led to assignment of a 3d floor room. But they changed us on check in without any fuss. Pretty pleased with what we got.

Post 901, which is a few floors lower of 7926, is a good representation of the view from 8226. Not much difference. Since there aren't many pictures from the 26 rooms, though, I'll try to edit this post in a week or so to add pictures.

Wow! What great information!!!! Thanks to the OP for their hard work on this....

That said, I am confused by the amount of information....I have been reading this thread for an hour and I am still not sure what to request....

Can someone help?

We have a LV Studio and a WL for SV Studio or 1 Bedroom.

We woud like the most peaceful, quiet view possible without being too high. Not a big fan of heights here....Does this mean I want the North Wing? A room that ends in an even number for the LV Studio or 1 Bedroom?

Are there any ground floor LV rooms? 1 bedrooms?

What is the saying about the best laid plans?

I have been studying this thread religiously since this past Spring. I had everything planned out for a 1BR Lake View and a Studio.

Enter wrinkle - we're now staying in a 2BR lake view WITH a split day (some members are joining us later and I want the freedom to not get the DDP for the days that they aren't there, should we decide to go with the DDP).

I didn't request dedicated, simply because of the split, and I didn't want to limit my chances of a good MK view for Lake view points.

Looking at the maps, it looks like we want something in the 08 10 or 12 (ending room numbers) to get a peek at the castle?

How many have experience with 2BRs? I am wondering in Dedicated vs Lock Off, would I be better off asking for a Dedicated and giving up our dream for a peek at the castle?

Any help/insight/advice would be greatly appreciated.

What I think you want is a room on the northern end, outer crescent, even #'d room, lower floor.

I know that some of the rooms on the first few floors are SV, but there are som LV rooms there. We stayed in a LV studio on that side and loved it. We were on the 12th floor, though, so that may be a bit high for you. It was peaceful and we could watch the fireworks from the balcony.

We will be there in 10 days in a LV 1 bedroom and hoping for this same area.

Thank you

The proper request is Northern End, Outer Crescent, Even number room, lower floor? Will they take that many requests?

 

[mainstreet1997]

I asked for even numbered above the 4th floor and I got a split MK/lake view. We are in room 8014 which is actually a handicap room (roll in shower/bigger bathroom/smaller kitchen and I think lower bed) but it was okay for 1 - which turned into 2 nights! Great room its as close you can get to MK view but still pay for a lake view!

You can put in the requests how you like. If you are concerned about it (I guess outer crescent and even #'d room are sort of the same thing now that I am typing again as the even #'d rooms ARE the outer crescent!LOL), I would list what you want as most important first.

If it is lower flower, then say "lower floor, outer crescent, northern end". If it is the northern end, "Say Northern End, etc." Of course, the more requests, the harder it is to fill all of them and requests are not guaranteed, so no one knows how these things are done.

We just requested an "even #'d room". I want to always be on that side of the building. Northern end is my preference, but southern is fine too and I would rather have that then be on the inside so hoping for the best when we check in on the 2nd of August.

How do you word the request if you would prefer not to get a handicapped room? Hubby and son are both very tall, and it seems that at most places, the HC rooms have everything just a tad lower (for good reason, but very inconvenient and uncomfortable for hubby and son).

 

[Mich Mouse]

Thanks for all of your helpful responses!

So all even numbered rooms are on the north side? Or is it all even numbered rooms are on the outer crescent?

All even #'d rooms are the outer crescent, facing toward the MK/GF, etc.

starry1, Thank you for the pics. They are all beautiful! We will be at the BLT in a 1 bedroom in 14 very short days. We have our fingers crossed for a room ending in 04, 10, or 12. After seeing your pics I am crossing my fingers and clicking my heels and whatever other thing I can think of to bring us the luck we need to get a room with a view like you.
