Concierge or not?

[ARS]

Hello Disney folks,

This is my first time posting although I have been reading & enjoying these boards for several months now. Thanks to everyone for all the invaluable information and especially to 999 ghosts, you are a wonderful ambassador for WDW and obviously a very special person.

I will be coming to WDW & staying at WL (can't wait ) Aug 12 - 19. This is a special trip for my sis who has had a year of heartbreak and suffering (so I want everything to be especially nice for her) and WDW is her most favorite place in all the world!! My two DD's will be coming with us and thanks to my oldest DD, who is a parttime CM at our local Disney Store, we got a really nice rate.

We had reserved 2 rooms on the concierge level & it really sounds nice but arfter studying these posts I was concerned that we would not like the enclosed balcony. Soooo I called CRO & changed us to courtyard view, no concierge (no 7th fl).

But now I'm doubting that decision and was looking for opinions from any of you folks who have been to WL & especially those familiar with the concierege level.

999 ghosts, I would be especially interested in your opinion on this (I really want to make this trip as good as I can for my sis).
Also wonder if my daughter, the CM, could look into future employment to WDW while we're there. Thanks a bunch

Looking forward to magical time at WDW

ARS, I haven't done concierge at the WL, but have done it at the GF, YC, and AKL. If you want to enjoy some munching while on vacation, the concierge lounge is a great place to grab a snack in. Also, if you need help with PS reservations and such, the concierge CMs will take care of your needs.

My sister went through a horrible year about two years ago. I treated her and her children to a wonderful vacation at the GF. I had a suite booked for us, and thus got concierge service because of it. The GF RPC concierge made a few mistakes with our vacation plans, so even though my stay wasn't perfect, it sure was wonderful. My sister and her children got to escape from their troubles for a week, and that was truly priceless. I think it is wonderful that you want to do the same thing for your sister. Great minds think alike.

Before I close, welcome to the Dis!

Hope your sister and her family are doing better. I know this trip has really given my sis something to look forward to and keep her spirits up. I'm sure whatever we do about our rooms we will have a great time, afterall it's DISNEY!!!

I know I should have posted this originally on the WL board but didn't know how to do it, sorry.
