Got my ME luggage tags in the mail today! Woo-Hoo! Now I am waiting for my MagicBands to arrive in the mail next! I can't wait until I walk into my room at the Contemporary with a Theme Park View!

You and I will be staying on the CL at the same time! We got our luggage tags the other day. This morning I looked in MDE and it says this:



I'm so excited!

We just booked a split stay CR/ AoA Cars Suite! We stayed in a Garden View Garden Wing room in January and absolutely loved it.

We have three nights at CR. I am thinking we will only go to MK while at CR, maybe Epcot, because the monorail is so convenient. One day it seems AK is the only recommended park, but CR shares buses with a lot of other resorts, correct? I am not sure it is worth the effort if we are going later in our week.

CR shares busses with Poly and GF. But if you catch one of the first busses of the day, it should be relatively empty. We had no issues with early morning busses to AK or HS while we were there.

Hi, I am finally planning my next trip in 7 years in 2017. I am planning on staying at the Contemporary CL. I have not read through either thread, but would appreciate someone pointing out where info on the pool is or letting me know what the pool is like. Should I take the time out of my stay to spend time at the pool or not? I have spent time at the pools bc/yc, poly & Ak, but not any the bw or por. I am really wondering about the ambiance. Based on where I've stayed, you may be able to tell what kind of a pool we like and don't like. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

I can't comment on the pool as we've never stayed at the CR, but pool information can be found on the first page of this thread, post #11 .

We stayed in the South Wing when there was still a North Wing (where BLT now stands). We really liked the South Wing - it was quiet, easy to get to and we could take the stairs if we didn't want to wait for the elevator. That's harder to do in the tower. We had a view of the pool and it was far enough away that it wasn't too noisy like some pool views. Plus the building curves away from the pool area, so the sound doesn't echo as much. We liked both pools at CR (the themed pool and the big, deeper pool by the lake).

Thank you Mickeynut

We're big fans of SAB and the BC (as you can tell by my signature) and we make pool time a priority on all of our trips. That said, we really enjoyed CR's bullseye pool (quiet pool) even more than their main pool. It's one of the few, if not the the only one left, that has a deeper end and we love the location and view from that pool. Wishing I was there now .

As is true of all floors in the tower the elevator is in the center of the resort, so that would put you more dead center if the request is granted

This made me smile...

I will actually be proposing before dinner our funds for this trip got cut little short so we are just doing dinner I'll be posing the question when we do our meet and greet with Mickey before dinner

Make sure they take LOTS of pictures and is someone going to record it? Mickey's going to be very surprised

Welcome to the thread. Besides the hyperlinks in POST 1, I also recently posted some April photos of the pools. They're a few pages back.

It won't be long now!

CR now shares with WL and then goes to a water park afterwards. The bus is empty when it arrives and it then goes to WL after CR.

You're welcome .

Very pretty view .

Unfortunately, after talking more with DH, it turns out CR is not going to fit into our plans this year. we're moving our ressie to WL, which is nice - but I've been dreaming about that 10 minute walk to MK. *sigh* maybe next time.

 

[jmkjr72]

We leave in 7 hours

Unfortunately we are traveling alone so no one to record it we have memory maker and will hand off a cell phone for pics

WL is great and CR will be there for another visit. See you on the thread

Just hand off your iPhone, or whatever you have that records, to any CM there and they will gladly record it for you and/or they will also take photos for you using your own phone or camera.

Safe travels and I hope you have a magical vacation.

Thanks for the correction and update!!

I was surprised by this new route in March and April during spring break. I didn't ask about it so I don't know if it was temporary or permanent. The AK and DHS buses came at very long intervals, while 2-3 DTD buses would come for every one AK/DHS bus. Then it went to WL and then a water park and finally, AK or DHS. This took a very long time door to door, but at least the bus was empty when it finally arrived.

So pretty...

I would think you'd get it especially since you actually requested it.

Add me to the excitement! I'll be there, too, same time, CL Tower suite!

That's going to be such a memorable and special high school graduation trip. Will she start college in the fall? I wonder where my DD will want to go for her graduation trip next year. Guess I should ask now so we can start planning

Does anyone have a picture of an open BLT studio fridge?
Trying to verify we could fit a gallon of milk plus some other stuff (fruit, bottled water, yogurt) in it-ordering from garden grocer so won't be able to check it out before buying stuff
Thanks in advance

Very cool! Maybe we can have a mini DisMeet at the pool one day!

The Studio fridges are large so you won't have any problem with a gallon of milk:
