Back 6 days ago from WL....
Dropped off at front door. CM right there to get our luggage, very friendly but explained check in wasn't until 3. Front desk wait about 7 minutes. Again great CM and our room was ready.
I had faxed for lobby view/fireworks view and that is just what I got rm 6087. At first I was a little disappointed as a stairway kind of blocked our view right outside our door. Then I realized we had the end room and there was nothing beyond our room, the aisle ended. Nice and quiet!!! Our view out the balcony showed us a lovely view of the Grand Floridian, and a partial view of Contemporary and Poly. No castle though. Unfortunately when you looked down you could see a service area quite clearly with uncompanying backup beeps at times. I just chose not to look down. And guess what? Fireworks at night clearly seen.
THANKS ROOM CONTROLLERS. We loved coming out and seeing the lobby vs just a hallway.
Our CM that cleaned our room was great. We had a dog, swan, turtle, little duck and bride towels. A bow on our tub everyday and fans in the sink area. We saw her (I think her name was Jan, can't believe I forgot already) and thanked her.
Transportation was not a problem, but this was an anniversary trip and we were in no big hurry anyway. Our boat to MK only went to FW X 1, the rest of the time it was straight to MK. The only bus that was a problem was mornings to AK/BB but they seemed to have fixed it by the end of the week. We also found entertainment in finding how many different ways to get from one place to another. We didn't have a car.
Food: Only ate at Roaring Forks, hamburger, philly, pizza. It was ok, not great, but not that bad.
Pool: Crowded and kind of warm to be refreshing
Laundry: Crowded and inadequate, not convient to pool like moderates.
It is a beautiful resort but most of the time the windows were fogged up so you couldn't see out in the public areas. I guess it was from all the rain.
All in all while we loved the resort, I would rather, for the price, go back to the moderates where we usually stay. I can't believe I am saying this but I like going right to my room outside, like its my own private villa or something, especially when it is on the ground floor surrounded by flowers. We spend alot of time in northern MI so maybe it was all just too familiar. DH disagrees with me.
Automatic check out was great, cast members were wonderful and helpful.
Any questions please ask
