Wow! there's a lot of info in these threads on WBC, but still I have a few questions. I saw some incredible pictures of what I think was a 2BR presidential suite. It had beautiful dark cherry woodwork, dark tile floors and looked quite a bit nicer than some of the other pics of the deluxe suites.
1. Are the Presidential suites significantly nicer than the deluxe?
2. Where are the presidential suites? Which buildings? which floors?
3. Are there 1, 2, 3 BR presidential suites?
4. What is the ballpark price for the Presidential suites compared to the deluxe (say for a 2BR)?
5. Which towers, floors, rooms have been recently renovated and is it worth it to get into one of those rooms?
TIA.
I'll attempt to answer some of these.
1. I Think it's mostly going to be a matter of preference as to the "significantly nicer" answer. They are nicer, but how much nicer can depend. The Primary differences between a regular "Deluxe" unit and the Presidential suite are going to be the decor items you noticed in those pictures. Typically, Higher crown molding ceilings, Dark wood accents and doors, Tiled floors in the common areas, Stainless steel appliances, and some upgraded furnishings.
2. There are 4bdrm Presidential units located on the top floor of the Main Building and Towers 1-5. All Units in floors 10 and above in Tower 6 are presidential units.
3. Yes, There are now 1,2, and 3bdrm presidential units. They are located exclusively in Tower 6.
4. I couldn't tell you since I've never tried to price one, and different owners/renters have different criteria when setting their prices. Some things I can tell you however:
Points wise, non-discounted, A 1 bdrm Presidential tends to run the same point cost as a 2bdrm Deluxe, and a 2bdrm Presidential as a 3bdrm Deluxe. There are not 4bdrm Deluxe units so that point cost pricing trend doesn't continue, but it MIGHT help give you an idea of a rough ballpark based off prices you see people mention getting for the deluxe units.
The Presidential units are MUCH MUCH rarer at the resort than any of the deluxe style units. As such, Some of the owner tricks such as point discounts or upgrades are less likely to come into play. Since many of those tricks tend to run off the assumption of unbooked inventory, with the short supply of Presidential level accomodations at the resort, it's rare you'll find an empty unit available by the time those discounts/upgrades kick in.
And finally.... again, because of the rarity, and the much nicer looking and class of accomadations, Some owners will charge a premium over what they might charge per-point for a deluxe unit. Since Wyndham no longer allows "trading" of points between owners, the per-point is more of an abstract # since you have no way of knowing what the actual point cost to the owner actually will be for the reservation you are renting (due to housekeeping fees, discounts, guest certificate fees, and other items that come into play with a reservation within the Wyndham System)
5. Towers 1-3 have recently been renovated according to reports. towers 4 and 5 I've heard some mixed reports on so I don't know what their exact status is. And as for "is it worth it".... Can't say. I haven't seen before/after pics of the renovation, so I honestly don't know if the renovation has brought anything to these rooms that would make it worth it to me to go thru the extra effort to request a renovated room.
Other than the reported couch issues, which for the most part have been resolved already in the non-renovated towers, I can't think of any major reoccuring issues I've heard about in any of the towers that would make me say the non-renovated rooms are worth avoiding if possible.
. I'd stay here again for sure. Next time ill book a little sooner and try for a presidential so I don't have to stress about getting a high floor. We had a great experience with the staff, our check in was fabulous, and we really enjoyed the resort. We didn't do Disney this trip (4 previous trips to Disney) so we really took advantage of the resort and all it had to offer. We didn't eat at the restaurants, we did hang at the hotel pool which is nice, and we did rent a cabana (50 on weekend 25 during week) at pirate pool. What we did buy from there I didn't find to be outrageously priced (I'm from Chicago and everything is over priced). We took drinks in a cooler to the pool as did many of the guests.
