Welcome! You're going to love so easily walking back and forth to the MK.
You're so sweet, thank you, MAGIC. I'm sure you found the Deluxe Room video
HERE. I would base your request on whether you want to be able to walk out onto your patio, or whether you don't want anyone above you and a more commanding view of Bay Lake/pool area
I hope you'll file a Deluxe Room TR with us
Congratulations on booking. We were in the exact same situation last August. I requested an outer villa on a high floor because I didn't want to overlook the pool area. We got exactly what we requested and loved it! All the photos and link to my review are in POSTS 13 & 14.
Yippee! You're going to love it!
Hot, hot summer = lower crowds and rates
. That's when we usually take our summer trip to WDW.
Not crazy at all. ME guests, for example, still check-in at the CR for BLT and after hours arrivals, too. So it's no problem at all for you to just go to the front desk at the CR to both check-in and check-out. Happy conferencing!
Are you purchasing DVC? You can still stay at the Poly on a cash reservation. Why wouldn't you be able to stay at the Poly anymore?
