They should have those buttons at check-in.64 more days and I'll be headed to the CR!!
Is it possible to get the celebration buttons at check-in or do you have to get them at the parks?
This will be our second time staying at BLT (in May). We would like to hopefully use the Contemporary pool (didn't get to last visit).
How can we access the pool. Do we have to walk to the Contemporary main tower first, and access the pool from there? Or can we go to the Contemporary pool by walking from BLT's pool (kinda like pool hopping).
Also, does the Contemporary pool get sun exposure in the afternoons? The BLT pool is really nice, but sometimes we'd like some more sun when we're swimming!
TIA!
Okay, here are my next CR questions!
We have a room reserved in the Tower, Bay Lake side.
I'd like a room close to the pool side/WL side, if that makes sense. I don't want to be so far over that we can't really see the pool from the balcony. I guess that would be over Chef Mickey's too, right? I think the kids would like to see Mickey when they come out of our room.
I also don't want too high up - we like to sit on the balcony & people-watch.
So what kind of room do I need to request? Odd-numbered? But how do I get a room close to that particular side?
Also, we're thinking of possibly upgrading to either the MK side or club-level. Am I correct that we could reserve club-level for either the Bay Lake side or the MK side & this would be the Atrium Club? If we did reserve club-level, what floor would our room be on?
Thanks!!
Anyone have any advice for room requests?
Just follow the path around from BLT's pool to the Contemporary. It kind of follows the lake and will bring you to the back of the CR. It's really easy and you won't miss it. No need to go through the resort itself.
Yes, the CR's pool gets lots of sun in the afternoon (almost too much on a hot day )
We loved being able to use both BLT and CR's pools when we stayed at BLT.
Enjoy! We LOVED BLT!!!
I would just request Lower floor, over Chef Mickey's. Warning, though, chef Mickey's can be loud, so I would only request that if you don't plan on sleeping late or taking late afternoon naps. Enjoy!
Thanks for the reply!
Ironically, the only morning we really plan on sleeping in a bit is the morning we're eating at Chef Mickey's. (We have a 9:30 am ADR.)
We are planning on some naps in the afternoon for our younger DS, but, since Chef Mickey's doesn't serve lunch, is it still loud in the afternoons?
And I am correct that being above Chef Mickey's also puts closer to the WL/EPCOT side?
Thanks!!
I really enjoyed my stay at the Contemporary, however, there was one thing that really bugged me. It was all the birds flying around, particularly near food! I thought it was kind of gross. Has anyone else noticed this?
I don't think that is just a Disney thing. Any park, picnic area, the beach or restaurant with outside dining seems to have that problem. The birds aren't dumb, they know where the food is. And there are always a couple people willing to toss them a few bites, so the birds keep coming back.
I thought the PP was referring to the indoor birds. And yes! There are lots of them! It seems inevitable though, and I do see them at our Walmart and Sam's Club all the time.
I was referring to the indoor birds. I think they get in where the monorail comes in because they don't shut those doors. I would think that keeping those doors open also keeps the climate control inside that huge tower difficult! It's not very green, IMO. Oh well...not really a big deal...just wondering if I was the only one who noticed.
