These were all from SL, not sure if they are what you needed. Feel free to delete these if they are duplicates. I tried to resize them but I am on my phone and it was difficult. The room was a lodge tower room, it still had the blue chair and very worn tv cabinet in the sitting area, curious if they have replaced those now. This was the day SL reopened. We had to move from main building to SL. This was our only stay in SL and I admit we were not a fan.

I don't have any of the actual food that was served as after the first day we rarely bothered to go by as it usually was empty within a few minutes. Guests did seem to over serve themselves but I still think they should replenish. I was most bothered seeing most of the food left and being thrown away.

I missed your post before, sorry!!! I almost bought out the co-op store last summer...sooooo many nice things, DH just gave me "the look" LOL.
The family collectively decided on BC CL, which is all good :) They want something new and I can respect that. *pouts* I have heard much better reviews on the CL lounge now that its a little bigger, but we shall see. On a changing note, I have a room on hold at Universal. We are booked at Hard Rock CL, but AP rates are out and I was talked into a Villa Parlor Suite with connecting Deluxe 2 Q CL room at Portofino and now I have to find pictures to make a decision haha.

candy LOVE LOVE LOVE the pics. So happy for anyone doing Easter at the GF!!!

More love coming at k&a&c'smom :grouphug:

Trish I am so mad I was locked out of my photobucket I had the cutest Sugarloaf pics. Our room was second floor pool view, and I loved it! Miss it there!

I tried twice to find them for you but I keep getting busy! There are pics back in July or August 2014 posted on the last thread. The new CL lounge looked like it was bigger and had more color to it!

I'll get pics but it won't be until August.

I think I'm going to request a non dormer room, marina side if possible:) I have had the garden side both of my previous visits. Also my last stay was WL CL and the balconies are so high you can't see over it when sitting. So I don't want to get an enclosed balcony 2times in a row.

I totally agree with you about dormer rooms. Hate them. It's a deal breaker for me with WL CL. I hear their CL is very nice, but if I want a CL trip, I'll book a different resort. We had a courtyard room once at WL and got a dormer. I would have gone down to ask for a different room, but one of my daughters liked it :rolleyes1
Our first GF stay my request was not a dormer room!! I walk into room and what do I get? Yup. A Dormer. Went down to desk and got moved. I like being able to look out while sitting down and not staring at a wall too. And it makes room darker too.

::yes:: I got upgraded to a deluxe queen villa room at Portofino with an amazing balcony in the West Wing. Such a great location right across from the boat dock.

I agree about the dormers. I have it listed as what I don't want on our GF reservation.

When we went last year I didn't list that and that's what we got. Went down and asked to be moved and we were. We thought that the room was a lot smaller too...at least it felt like it to us.

I like to sit in the morning with a pastry and a cup of tea on the balcony so it would not have been as enjoyable to look at a wall.
 
We had a dormer room last September. It was on the 5th floor in the Main Building. My family and I absolutely LOVED it! So much so that I've requested the exact room for our next stay next September! The room we had could not have been more perfect!

Beautiful room! We had a similar balcony, but we didn't have a suite. Had a deluxe queen villa. Sure wish I could find my toilettries I horded :-(. Somehow they weren't in my luggage when we returned home. Who steals toilettries out of luggage??? I know for sure I left them in suitcase during our GF stay, and they were still in there when we packed for home. So strange. Loved the Portofino stuff!!!

Bizarre!!! We have never had a balcony at PBH. Had a great pool view room our first stay. This almost compensates for no availability at GF RPC the first night...almost... ;)

:wave:Hi everyone!

We have a lagoon view outer building booked for July. Do you think Boca Chica has the nicest views of the lake? Are there a lot of trees on that side of the building? I requested no 1st floor or dormer too.

I guess BPK would be nice too since I think the Bungalo's are just about done at the Poly.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.:)

I hate to say it but that room really points out the differences in Disney Deluxe resorts and not in a good way. My DH is really pushing to stay at Four Seasons again as the service was so much better when we stayed there. What was the bed configuration of the room ? My kids want to go to Universal this summer.

I know! We were so lucky, not many balconies at PBH right?
