I have to say, after looking at the other deluxe resorts, we were super happy with choosing the WL! It was classy but very approachable. Absolutely perfect!
We had booked a standard room but were upgraded to a courtyard. At first they put us on the 2nd floor right in front of the pool and sort of behind some scaffolding. As soon as I walked in the room I realized it was loud and not private at all (kids were actually looking in our room as I stood there)...NOT what I wanted. I was actually kind of surprised that they gave us that room,since while checking in I had been mentioned we were looking forward to a quiet and romantic anniversary trip. (Unfortunately that first CM didn't seem too friendly, but I can assure you that was the only one we encountered at the WL!) I went back down to the desk and was able to get our room switched to a 5th floor courtyard. It was wonderful. I believe it was in the south wing, 5119. We overlooked the creek and saw the pool. There was some scaffolding that seemed to go all the way up the building. While it wasn't right in front of us, it would be visible to anyone with an inner courtyard view. We didn't find it a problem, though!

Thanks for the update Msinformation! Glad you had such nice visit. I was thrilled to read about the crowds (or lack thereof)...hopefully we'll have the same in 3 WEEKS!!!
Thank you also for the information on the bus vs. boat - very helpful. I guess we'll do the boat, and hopefully it won't be too crowded earlier in the morning??
I am a little concerned about the scaffolding...can you elaborate at all? Any idea how long it will be there? We have a courtyard view and requested inner courtyard, but I do not want a view of some scaffolding - that's for sure. Where would you reccomend we request if we are also looking for a nice view, quiet location (don't want kids looking in on us either and don't want to hear screams from the pool at all hours). Any help would be great.
Thanks again, and glad you had fun.
