We had this view several times while staying at the WL...and it is of the quiet pool at the Villas.
I might add that it is the same rate as Courtyard view...only you get a view of the Villa Pool.
Perhaps you were upgraded and didn't realize this was not a standard view. At least not in my experience. We paid Courtyard view rates for that view. We were probably a little moe to the left of where this photo appears to have been taken. We love this side of the resort. Quiet, but with more to look at than just plain woods. Quieter than the main courtyard, which I found to be noisy, depending on location.
You are right. The view from mordux is considered "courtyard". I've been upgraded to that view. Last year in fact, we even had a glimpse of Bay Lake off to the left. Not as impressive as the main courtyard view, but very nice nonetheless. Here are my shots :
This is the view from Room 4007 - which is a standard view AKL room. It is a handicap accessible room which we were given after asking for a king size bed.
JCB: Your accessible room with the king bed, did it have a roll in shower?
That view isn't too bad. I have some friends visiting and the only room type left was standard. Im sure there are some "less desirable" views too.
Yes, there was a roll-in shower and the bathroom was fully accessible. There are so many places at AKL to sit and enjoy the views, that the room we had was just wonderful. We never heard anything from the loading area and it was convenient to walk up one flight of stairs from the lobby and be at our room.
