I've stayed several times at Y&B but never CL. This spring we have 3 rooms reserved, two need to be connecting. Any connecting rooms standard cl with nice views? Thanks for your help, this is a great thread. I understand even if I request a nice view its not guaranteed.

All standard view rooms are views of either roofs or parking lots. You might want to consider upgrading to garden view ... it's normally not much more per night and the views are of something green ... usually a courtyard with the garden view CL rooms.

There's a person near WDW that customizes Disney gifts and brings them to the resorts.

Please give me your thoughts or recommendations.

Thanks for jogging my feeble memory Teena. Memories By Betsy.

I have used this service and was fully satisfied. They can customize and deliver. Free quotes so you might want to give it a shot. Just paste that into google and it will take you to their webpage.

Just popping in to say how much I am LOVING the new rooms and the safe, woo hoo! I was nervous when I saw the CL lounge redo, but the rooms are awesome - upscale but still Disneyish. I for one love the separate fridge area - keeping the food and "bar area" in its' own place will make it a bit nicer - I won't have to mix my Bahama Breeze next to the dirty laundry. I'm curious how much drawer space there will be, though. And HALLELUJAH those dark stuffy drapes are gone!

Rebecca, thanks for the pic of the CL staff desks - I cannot for the life of me imagine where they are sitting though?? Is it still outside the elevator? Looks like doors on either side

We had standard view our last stay, non CL but perhaps CL floor had same views. We were in front of resort above portico. It was a nice view, looking straight ahead just saw tree tops. To left could see bus stop, and looking down could watch the comings & goings of lobby. Good people watching!
Since you have multiple rooms, the nice thing is that 4 rooms share a huge balcony.

We just got home. Incredible trip!!! The new lounge and rooms are wonderful. Yes, the entrance to the lounge has been moved. As you come off the elevators it is now straight ahead, instead of off to the left, the desks sit to the left of the lounge entrance as you get off the elevators (just moved slightly more to left than before). I have more pictures of the new entrance. Hope to have them out on the thread in next couple of days. Hope this helps. Boo to going back to work tomorrow.

It's nice that you left the dump truck by the Poly.

I love the Poly and was seriously tempted to stay there next August since, I'd think, most of the construction will be done by then. But my oldest was adamant she didn't like it, and while I'm paying for the trip and have the ultimate say, I can't really complain about saving a big chunk of change to stay at Epcot (I think it was double to stay at Poly, but of course that was CL, which added to the temptation).

Ok tarak. He's the thing with us hubbies'. We read them but don't comprehend. Even after you explain it we just look at you with that blank look and say "OK".

I do think sometimes he understands but pretends not to.

What was your room number? We are staying CL standard view this coming June. When you have a party of five its tough to get a garden view or water view room I guess. Not sure if GV or WV even accommodate five...I think that is what put us in a SV room. Oh well, we got a great deal on the room so we can't complain. All the hype about the pool and Sunken Treasure beverages had me convinced that the Beach Club is where the PARTAY is at.

Loving all the new photos -thanks Rebecca
Ninjamom as always you are full of good ideas for every occasion/situation and I'm in awe of your ingenuity
Dee thanks as always for keeping things running smoothly and us all informed

 

[JanetMom]

Ninjamom as always you are full of good ideas for every occasion/situation and I'm in awe of your ingenuity

I feel the need to respond to this, to temper your message, just a bit. While yes, Ninjamom is indeed a source of limitless advice (most unsolicited) and incredible ideas, she can quickly get a swelled head from too much praise.

I think it would be better if you had said "as always you are full of good ideas for every occasion/situation and I thank you for your ingenuity." Words like "awe" are ones that Ninjamom takes hold of and then she is unbearable for her family to live with, as she will continuously remind them that her internet fans are in awe of her.

So thank you Ninjamom, but try not to get a swelled head from Luvpooh's comments.

I feel the need to respond to this,this.

First of all I can hardly hear you as the swelling from my enormous head is obstructing my ears. I believe you are insinuating that I Ninja Mom, creator of timeless advice and indispensable ideas is in danger of becoming an ego maniac because of Luvpooh's unfettered adoration . Luvpooh =

My family will be the first to tell you that this is simply not true, especially if I am IN the room or lurking about listening in. Therefore, they can not substantiate your claims in fear that my enormous head will butt them back into my version of sensibility.

Janetmom, please tell my family to stop sending you email pleas begging for your intervention from my saucy ideas. Revolutionary concepts such as cleaning up after the messes they make and "Do it yourself" laundry have taken hold thanks to my forethought. Well, that and a number of pool noodle beat downs... Remember parents... when it comes time for you to draw the line in the sand and dish out the consequences for not listening, pool noodles are an excellent instrument of torture. The sound they make while striking is terrifying and best of all they almost never leave marks, thus keeping child protective services perpetually in the dark!

Luvpooh... Despite your questionable choice of an internet name and your confirmed fondness for Disney's droppings I too am in awe of myself, so count me into my own fan club (At this point I MUST insert the obligatory plus an

AND an at this OBVIOUS attempt at non-depreciating humor). JanetMom is simply jealous that I possess superior mitten knitting skills. I keep trying to convince her to go the modern route and use a stapler and super glue when constructing mittens but she stubbornly clings to the olden ways and insists on the use of knitting needles and sustainable Himalayan Yak yarn.

So now you know why she is the #2 official member of the Ninja Mom fan club...

Fondly (for the poo lover)

Bwahahaha!! Janet, we should have bitten off the Mickey head of NJs dessert while she so foolishly left it on the table. That would have shown her!!

I'll have to go into my computer photos and look it up. You may find some room & balcony view pics on this thread. Dee has a section on room views, and I sent her some of mine. I think she posted them.

 

[Sue M]

Ok, found it!! Room 4176. As I mentioned, it wasn't a CL floor. I'd repost view for you, but I don't know how . I just send them to Dee and she posts for me!!

I looked at the YC view thread, didn't see pics of our room, but if you look at post #60 pics, you can see our balcony to the right, the ones that stick out above portico, we were one floor down, 4th floor. So view was similar, just a bit further to the right from bus stop. Gives you a good idea of views.

Found the pictures! I think I posted them in the main thread but never added to the view thread.

This would actually be a great section for cpdisney's family, since it has at least one connecting door (2 rooms) and a humongous shared balcony. Only problem is that it is not on the CL floor. The corresponding rooms on the 5th floor do not have this setup.

As Sue mentioned, definitely check out the Beach Club Room View thread, which is indexed by view category.


Beach Club Room Views


I have stayed in a BC CL SV room and we had views of the Magic Kingdom fireworks. Many of rooms overlooking the front entrance (parking lot) of the resort have a view of these fireworks as well as some of the Illuminations pyrotechnics.

I believe there may be one or two BC CL SV rooms that have a view of Spaceship Earth!!!

Rebecca-

How many times did you ask me if I wanted any specific photos??? Did you even give me a chance at the last minute to make a request?

I almost replied- "No I can't think of anything, but I will as soon as you are home." And now I have it.


I would like pictures of the view from the club level lounge. Is there access to a balcony from the new lounge?

If there is someone staying at CL sometime soon, could you check it out for me?
