The pool area music is unchanged and is still 90's tunes. I love hearing those familiar tracks and even told a Recreation Manager to make sure they don't change it LOL. (The music is piped in from his office.) As far as indoor music, I don't recall movie scores.
I hope you get one of those quirky rooms and make sure you take lots of indoor photos
I've never rented one, but they do look like fun. Sea Raycers are allowed out of the area in which they are rented, however, I believe that boats must remain where they're rented so you'd have to stay in Bay Lake. No photography is allowed on the Sea Raycers, but I'm sure it isn't a problem on the boats.
HERE'S an article by Jack Spence about renting the boats that should be very helpful.
Congratulations and welcome to the thread! Sounds like a fun trip and you've got plenty of planning time.
Congratulations to your DS and I'm sure CR will be a great DIStraction
. I'll add your dates to the Log-orail
Congratulations to your DS as well! I will be in the same boat/Sea Raycer next year with DD graduating. I wonder if she'll choose CR, too
to the DIS and the CR/BLT thread!
The issue in the Tower is that there are 15 floors in the Tower and only about 5 elevators, one of which only goes to/from CA Grill on the 15th floor. At peak times such as mid-late morning and early-late evening and/or when the resort is full, the wait can be very long and the elevators very crowded. When we were there, at peak times, it took at least 10 minutes to get to our room on the 11th floor.
We last stayed there during spring break, Easter week, so it was very crowded, and other than early morning when I'd go down to the gym, the elevators were packed and the wait long. It was really frustrating and, unfortunately, you can't access any of the floors with rooms by stairs. The stairwell doors are locked from the outside so you can only use them essentially to go down, unless you prop it open and hope no one closes it. This adds to the amount of people wanting to use the elevators.
Another stay, we were on the CL floor (12th) and during that week, there were a couple of elevators that wouldn't work with our KTTW Card so we would have to wait for another elevator. We were told it was a known problem and they were working on it, but it wasn't fixed during our stay, but I'm sure it must be now.
I saw a permit for an electronic sign that was to be installed at the CR bus stop. I don't know if they've done it already, but it should be installed eventually. It shows the bus wait times (using the bus' GPS).
In April, the bus was not stopping at Poly nor GF, but it would go to WL. It would then go from there to a water park. It was a long wait for the AK and DHS bus (2-3 DtD buses would come for each AK/DHS bus) and then the ride seemed so long, maybe almost 45 minutes. For RD, they probably dispatch more buses, (we were traveling mid-morning), so I would be at the bus stop at least one hour prior.
