Hi all - I'm modifying our WDW plans for the 2 nights I'll be at the Contemporary with my parents, as my dad will be recovering from unanticipated back surgery, so we will be spending more time at the resort and less time at the parks. What's the best restaurant for lunch? We are eating at The Wave for breakfast one morning, I suppose we could also go there for lunch, or to the Wave Lounge for a different look. How busy does the Contempo Cafe get around lunchtime? Another option is The Sand Bar pool. Also, does the Contemporary have room service? Thanks for the help!
Just throwing in another answer to your lunch question...The Wave isn't busy at lunch, but the Sand Bar can get busy and I wouldn't recommend it out of all your options nearby - there are better choices.
You said dad won't be in the parks much, but can he ride a boat? If dad is able to get on the Blue Flag boat, I think a little trip over to FW would be fun. Trail's End serves lunch, and though there's construction going on, WL serves lunch at Whispering Canyon Café. The monorail to Poly or GF was also a great suggestion. Just don't want dad to get cabin fever stuck at CR all the time.
Anyone know which page has Bay Lake room views and location trying to see which 1 bedroom lake view is closest to walkway 7546? Anyone know where those pics and maps are? Thanks
I think you're thinking of the BLT Room View/Number thread,
@Disney dreaming2. The link is in the first BLT chapter of the thread or just go right to it
HERE.
A question about room requests at BLT:
I have two Lakeview Studios reserved. I have two things that I am hoping for: co-located rooms and partial theme park view. How should I go about requesting this? Call and do online check-in? How soon should I call before my reservation?
First, check-out the link above to the BLT Room View/Number thread. Did you book on points or cash? If cash, you can call and add any requests directly to your reservation. If points, and you're the DVC member, you can call MS yourself. If renting points, the owner will have to do this for you.
By co-located, do you mean adjoining or connected? Adjoining rooms are next to each other without a door in between. I don't know if LV Studios even have a connecting door option, but you can make your adjoining room request anytime during or after booking (a cash reservation). Requests need to be made no later than about one week prior to arrival. You can't add comments to an OCI room request, so best to call them in.
This is disappointing. One of the reasons we booked the contemporary for our trip next week was to watch the fireworks from the observation deck
You can still view Wishes from CA Grill, if you have a same-day ADR. If you are a DVC member, you can watch from BLT's Top of the World Lounge. You might also be able to watch it from the Sky Bridge which is next to the observation deck, however, I don't know if this is allowed.
? TIA
