We stayed at the WL in July and are in the process of planning our next trip back to WDW and are having a hard time with staying somewhere else, we loved it that much!!

I have heard the rooms at WL are somewhat smaller, I think allearsnet.com has exact room dimensions along with great pictures. However, we had a room with 2 queen beds and still felt we had plenty of room. The balcony added so much extra "room" and the bathroom wall divider was wonderful.

The transportation to MK by boat was fantastic. The boats came quickly and in most cases were never full. At closing time was the only time we ever had a boat that was very crowded. A time saver is to take the boat to CR and then the monorail or walk to MK.

Plenty of sun at the pool area and we always found a lounge chair. The pool can at times be crowded at times but there is a second "quiet" pool that was never busy. There was also a section with shade to get out of the direct sun.

I cannot say enough good things about this resort.
