Those pics are great. Thanks for taking the time to post them all. I am so looking forward to staying at CR in December! Were you in a Garden standard room or a garden garden view room?

Gee, I'm not sure what room I had in the Garden wing. My guess would be it was a standard view. Sorry I can't be more help. I didn't really ask when they moved me from the Tower.

Ditto for me too!!!!!!!!!! Just booked a standard garden wing last night....I haven't stayed here since I was a kid so I am looking forward to seeing the new rooms....I'm wicked excited!!!!!!!!!!! You gotta love the convenience factor here!!!!!

I totally get it! Ill post pics when I get back of GARDEN STANDARD room view.

Thank you to EVERYONE for all of your awesome pics of CR. We just last night upgraded to CR (MK Tower View Room) from POR for our trip in March. This is our first time staying here, but we are not CR newbies. Everytime we are in the World we always spend at least 1 day at CR eating, shopping, renting pontoon boat, etc.... This is by far my DH and both my DDs favorite resort and my DH wanted to upgrade because he has always wanted to stay there so he figured why not for our upcoming trip. My DDs have no clue about our trip to begin with and to add that we are going to be staying at CR will make them flip.

I know this has been asked before a couple of times, but how is the construction for the new DVC? Does the tower get in the way of the MK Tower view room? Plus when I called to do an upgrade they had mentioned that the pool is going to be renovated until late March (we will be there from March 24-31), and if it was still under renovation, we could go over to the Poly and use their pool....how does that work? Do we have to show our resort ID when we use that pool? And lastly what floor would you request to get the best view of the MK, or does it not matter? Sorry for all the questions, just trying to help make this the most magical experience for my DH and 2 DDs.

Let direct you to the regular CR thread... lately there have been lost of post about your questions. but let me throw in my 2 cents here. From what has been reported, BLT does not get in the way of any view. The construction really coming along. If the CR pool is still under construction, you can use the pool at the Poly. As also from what I heard for the view, the floor doesn't matter. The lowest you can be is the 6th floor and the highest is 11th.

Spaceace510--Thank you for your help. Sorry I put those questions in this thread, I know it was mainly for the pictures, but I keep asking in other threads and no one has been answering me. I will jump over to the CR thread now and get more info. Thanks again.

Oh boy I didn't think that you went up that high

Parasailing:

Did you do that right from the CR? Was it scary??

 

[krbq]

What a great shot, DonaldDoleWhip! That photo alone should cover loads of questions about the CR. I love how your photo picked up the wake from your boat.

DonaldDoleWHip - what an awesome photo! Thanks for sharing!

Just wanted to share a cool version of the parasailing shot, edited by juliebee. I like how it makes the lines of CR/GF/Poly clearer. Also, the coloring is less dull and more vibrant.

Thanks for the compliments everyone, and I would definitely recommend parasailing if you don't mind heights. The flight only lasts for 8-12 minutes, but it'll feel like more than enough time in the air. The ascent (to a maximum height of 450-600 feet) is very quick and thrilling, and the rest of the journey is calmer but still exhilerating (a very similar feeling to Soarin'). Even if you don't bring a camera, the views are incredible.

Here was the view of Magic Kingdom (I know this isn't a pic of the CR, but it was taken in an activity only offered at CR's marina):
