Balcony View Pics - Show us your view

[JMADgrad]

Hi Johnsonet! I would be happy with that view at a standard room rate, too! But with my luck, if I asked for a standard, I would probably be looking out over the trash containers or something Anyway, if I want to be off the ground level but have a decent view of the pool, what floor would you suggest? My DDR thinks that she is going to be allowed to visit unchaperoned, but not unless I can still see and talk to her from our balcony - where I plan to park myself and keep an eagle eye on her (she can swim, it's the boys I am worried about!) It would be nice to give her the illusion of independence/freedom - if her Dad can be convinced, that is!

So would you steer clear of ground floor pool view rooms?

Sorry - that last post was referring to the comment about the foliage. Should have posted the quote (not used quick reply - I.m learning!)

Lobby is 3d floor. I would ask for that.
FYI, Pool view might give you a view of the hot tub over by Uzima...
As a veteran Disney resort guest i would recommend that you try not to worry yourself too much with your room view/specific room area. I do understand the tendency but you might be setting yourself up for needless disappointment. I would make one or two requests (3d floor, close to Lobby)and hope for the best. If you are unhappy with your room once you get inside it, go back to the front desk and ask to be moved before luggage deliver/unpacking.
You cannot depend upon a view of the pool clear and close enough to be able to see and talk to your DD. It is basically impossible. See her, yes. Talk to her, no. I certainly mean no disrespect at all and completely understand your feelings re. independence/keeping close watch
good luck to you

View from room #3523 in the Hawaii building at the Polynesian Resort. It is a garden view room facing the quiet pool.

Oh, ok - appreciate the comments regarding the pool...it did seem kind of large, but with photos you can never be sure. I will take your advice about the 3rd floor and hope for the best! (Gosh, I hope that me obsessing about the pool view doesn't sound spoiled! I really will be grateful that we are able to have any view at a deluxe ) - so, many thanks for your input.

Any more AK balcony views out there? (especially non- Savannah ones?)

Hi - wondering - was this considered a water view or a pool view?

That was a Courtyard View (all Concierge Level rooms fall into this category).

A gentle bump for the newcomers

Loving the views even the moderate resort view.

Those Boardwalk views are really starting to get me to consider staying at the Boardwalk. This is not good due to my indecisive tendencies...

I was finally able to upload some photographs from (and of) the view from Room 6108 (lower floor) garden wing in the CR.

First, the patio of Room 6108:

Stepping a few feet off the patio, this is the view:

And then, looking straight out the patio door, you see the canal where the ferries, friendship boats and other water craft cross.

Nice photos jcb.

Thanks. My DD16 took them while I "supervised".

 

[CR Resort Fan 4 Life]

She did a good job taking them.

Here are two from our trip to the contemporary

In the background of this photo is that the Dolphin hotel it sure looks like it and was curious if it was just me or my eyes are deceiving me

 

[CR Resort Fan 4 Life]

[PixieDustandEeyore]

No big deal since we sometimes make mistakes when we post and to answer your question, yes that is the Dolphin way in the backround.

thanks didn't realize it was that close off so that is kinda cool
