Hi
Welcome back to WDW and congratulations on booking your birthday trip and first Deluxe! Once you stay Deluxe, it's hard going back. I assume you're at CR? So many new things for you, but it sounds like you have them all under control. Let us know if you have questions and I'll log your dates in POST 1.
You're welcome and I hope those (tiny) numbers help!
We love GW! All the feels of CR for a fraction of the price, and soooo quiet!! You'll appreciate that marathon weekend!!Excited to be headed to CR in January, for the marathon and a milestone birthday. Feeling a tiny bit anxious because we are staying in the Garden Wing (saving a ton of $$ and spending it on other fun things). We've only been to CR once before, and we stayed in the main building--loved walking out of our room to see the monorail. Will we be disappointed in the Garden Wing? Our other option is the Beach Club for about the same price. Have stayed there before and loved it, but really wanted to look at MK fireworks on my birthday. Plus, the monorail to the marathon seems like a great idea. Any advice from the experts?

I wondered the same thing!This may be a silly question, but if I were staying on the 14th floor (Tower Club) and had reservations at California Grill, do I need to take the elevator down to the second floor and then back up again to the 15th floor?

I just wanted to share some Disney Magic that happened to me this morning! The Tower Theme Park View Roll In Shower (I am in a wheelchair) opened up for Halloween night and I was able to snag it so I will be able to watch Hallowishes from my room and see one of my favorite bands during Eat to the Beat that I haven't seen in over ten years!! Hallowishes is my absolute favorite fireworks show and the view from that room type is INCREDIBLE! Will be celebrating a belated birthday after almost dying last year after major surgery and maybe a new job opportunity this year! We are only staying two nights but I could not be more thrilled! My favorite resort, favorite view and seeing my first band that I absolutely loved! Heaven!!!
And as an added bonus was just able to snag BOG for breakfast on the day we leave( we are first year AP holders) Disney Magic!

Hi everyone! We were just able to secure two rental reservations for two standard studios at BLT for Feb. 12-17th, 2017. It will be me and my wife, and my parents (who haven't been to Disney since the late 90's/early 2000's). My wife and I have stayed at the Poly before, but never anywhere else on the monorail line, so we're looking forward to staying at BLT and experiencing it and the Contemporary! Only 210 days to go!
I have a question. With my CR Theme Park room view stay, I will be there for both Hallowishes and Wishes and wondering if I should watch both from my room. The last time we watched fireworks in MK we couldn't even find a straight on view because it was so crowded. We also couldn't hear half the music.
Thanks Kook!
Hello! Our first stay at BLT is coming up on October. We were lucky enough to get two nights in a one bedroom standard view room off wait list from a DVC member. I have just a few questions since this is our first stay here and have been unable to find some answers...
What is a standard view, really? View of CR? Low floor?
And for Top of the World, is that just for DVC owners with ID or anyone staying in a DVC room?
I love this thread. I was thinking this morning about whether there would be a way to hear the music from the fireworks in our room, and the answer appeared - this morning!I think that's a great way to enjoy both. The simulcast can be heard on channel 105.

While I plan for us to be in a park most nights to see the fireworks, I was hoping to watch from our balcony on the day we arrive. Now we just need to weather to cooperate!
And while I'm thinking about it, can you watch the fireworks from the other parks on your TV as well? That would be nice in case our little one poops out too early and we need to go back to the room, but MK fireworks will be just fine too.
It's funny how we have called the front desk before while we stayed there and they didn't even know the channel. #justsaying yes , we found out eventually. Thank you for your reply!
