Here is a photo I took last month while seated:I am wondering if I should request CY view vs. Woods View...I mean, the balconies are enclosed, so does it really matter? Like, if we had a CY view and the kiddos wanted to be able to watch the electrical water parade, we'd have to hold them up, right?? How high is the balcony wall?

You're incredible!

The top of the railing comes up to about my upper chest (I'm 5'10"), so I measured and it would be about 4' or 48".
Gee, I hope it wasn't us. It wasn't August 2011 was it?
lol, no it wasn't you guys. I was actually there that year when you were upgraded,. I remember them talking about it. I was so happy to find out that a military family got to stay in the Pres!!
May I ask how you know where the bunks are? Many people ask and I only know that they are scattered throughout the resort. Is there any rhyme or reason to their location? Do all the bunk room numbers end in multiples of 3?
There is no rhyme or reason to where they are. They are truly scattered. I know of some because we had friends who wanted them and at times we also would request rooms and they would tell us it was bunks.
7043 would be right across from the Yellowstone Suite in the North Wing so it must have a great CV. Does it have a connecting door?
I don't recall a connecting door. One other nice thing about 7043 is that you don't "share" the balcony with the room next door. And there is no room blocking to the left.
Since you are so knowledgeable on all the WL rooms, do you know which rooms do not have connecting doors?
Sorry, I don't.
OMG, next you're going to tell me you were there at Christmas of 2010?! Were you actually there in July/August of 2011? We might have reached for the cobbler at the same time

Did Randy tell you what precipitated the mega upgrade? I don't want to bore you (or anyone else) with all the details if you already know the background.
Thank you for all the room details. 7043 sounds just great and it wouldn't have any mechanical noises and it would be in the North Wing where we would possibly hear less rehab noise. We'll be there next about the time they're finishing up the 6th floor, so maybe that would be the perfect time to try out a North Wing room
Oh, and congratulations on breaking the 100 post mark!!!!
And we did hear about how you got upgraded, We laughed thinking of walking in on someone hanging from the ceiling of our room!!
Looks like you have your room request all set for your anniversary tripWe stayed in 7049, also a bunk..great view as well. 7043 would definitely be a great room. Our first stay at WL was in 6043. Nothing since has compared
Will you be requesting the North Wing in the summer or do you want to be surprised?Yes, we really were there!
North Wing is probably the way to go in the Summer.
Thanks on the Congrats!!
Oh, is this the ceiling you're talking about?

I would request a rehabbed room. If it's intolerable, you can always ask to be moved. I suspect if you aren't trying to nap during the day or sleep-in past 0800 or so, you won't be bothered by it, but if you are, you can ask to be moved to the South Wing.
Will you be checking-in with us on vacation?
Bushdianne reported this yesterday:
I'm here!!! checked in today. We are in room 6028. I can see the CR from our balcony. My DNiece loves it here already. We had dinner at Whispering Canyon. At first they were going to put us in the back in the "quiet area" but when they saw Ihad a little one they asked if we wanted to be in the middle of the action. Of course I said yes and she had a blast. they must be working on the 5th floor becuse it was very noisy when we checked in but is quiet now. Good thing we are not nappers!
And this:
Yes. The beds are so comfortable! Of course I'd been up from 1:30 AM and didn't get to bed til 10:30PM so I might have fallen asleep anywhere. We watched Wishes from our balcony. I am assuming that we were upgraded since I reserved a standard room. I think DNiece6 would be content to stay here all day! Did have to call housekeeping as the frige was leaking. Floors 3,4& 5 are closed.

Last month, you couldn't even really tell there was ever a hole there and after the rehab in July, it should be even harder to tell. You know, I think I've grown attached to that room and may not be able to request a different one - we're too familiar with all its proclivities and "history"

We were perfectly content to sit in the lounge that evening and wait out the repairs
- we loved the location of our room and water was only leaking onto to the carpeting from that spot near the sink area before the hole that was caused by one of the maintenance men's leg going through the ceiling
. I was really just worried that the man was hurt (which I was assured he wasn't). Before the hole, we thought that maybe we'd just have to move to another room for the night and I asked if we could move back to that room after the repairs (we were staying 11 more nights and the room was perfect for us). Little did I know that when Randy, the CL manager, told us we'd be right next door that that was the Presidential Suite
. It has two entrances and the door next to our room isn't labeled as the Yellowstone Suite so we thought it was just a room like ours.
. I think I was speechless for a while (a rarity). This was the most unexpected and amazing upgrade ever and way beyond what was necessary to make-up for the ceiling mishap. It was my DH's first trip back to WDW after his deployment to Afghanistan and so it was already a special trip to begin with and the upgrade went above and beyond. I think you can all see now why I have only wonderful things to say about the OFC and all the CMs at WL - they are amazing people.All the rooms are being rehabbed, including the Deluxe rooms. There are 25 of them on floors 1-6 of both wings. By the end of June, there should be rehabbed Deluxe rooms in the North Wing on floors 4, 5 and 6, so that would be about 6 Deluxe roomsJust 28 days until we arrive at WL.Staying in a Deluxe Room. Does anyone know if those rooms are being rehabbed and what floors will be done by June 27?
. Good luck and have a great stay at WL!
