CR Tower...how is the Bay View?

[Terri C]

Hello all...I'm hoping for advice on the views from the CR tower rooms. From everything I've read the MK view is the most popular. But what about the Bay View? (I think that's what it's called) We will be staying there for the first time late Oct early Nov. Are the rooms with the Bay View quieter or will it make a difference?
TIA...any advice is appreciated

We like the bay view. You can see the pools and all the activity on the bay - hang gliders, etc. You also get a front row view of the electric lagoon show and that is kind of loud but only for approx 10 min. Our last trip in May I really didn't notice any other noise but we were on the 8th floor. I kind of expect that the MK view is quieter overall.

We liked the bay view. We had asked for a castle view, but with that, you also get a view of the parking lot. So bay view was just fine.

We LOVED the bay view...see pics. We got the water parade every night, and saw all the water activity all day. I would pick Bay over MK every time!! enjoy!!

Here's another vote for the Bay view. It's so peaceful, and I loved watching the EWP each night!

And yet another vote for the Bay View. It's very peaceful - no sign of cars or parking lots. You can always go to the observation deck to look at MK from the CR.

There are beautiful sunrises over Bay Lake. We never noticed any difference in the noise level between the MK side and the Bay Lake side.

Thanks You are the best. I have learned a ton since joining the boards

The pictures of the bay view were great...maybe I should request it

If you do request it, make sure you request 4th floor or higher. IMO, you need to be a little higher to see everything. But if you couldn't I think almost any floor would be AWESOME!!!
Have fun!!!

I agree that the Bay View is actually nicer than the MK castle view. You see the castle but you also see the parking lot and the road. I'm sure either view will be fine, and besides, how much are you really in your room anyway??
