Disney Resort ROOM Picture Thread *Index page 93*

Elisabeth, I've stayed on the other side of you too in 1205. I actually liked 1205 better with the balcony. Since we now own DVC I doubt we'll stay there again even though it's my favorite type of room in all of Disney.

We’ve been toying with the idea of DVC too, but we’re still waiting on that for now. What do you think of it so far?

I’ve seen pictures of the garden suites without the courtyards and a friend of mine has stayed in one (I think the same one as you, actually). She also liked it better. I think the courtyard is very pretty, but we never sat out there or anything. The balcony probably would be more useful.

Our room at the BWI from this past weekend. It was Room 4211 which is a concierge room.

Pics of the room...

views from the room. We had a nice view of the fireworks from both Illuminations and Fantasmic...

And here is our room at AKL CL from last December. Can't remember the room # but it was a deluxe savannah view room on the 5th floor almost to the end of Kudu Trail overlooking the Arusha savannah. A true hike and a half from the lounge.

and the views (for the one day we actually saw animals )

most of the time this is what we saw:

Speaking of old pictures and scanners. I have many old photos of our rooms at Disney resorts and some good park pictures. I can scan them but Photobucket doesn't accept those. Where can I put scanned photos to then transfer to the DIS?

I have photos in my photobucket acct. that came from scans of old photos. Do you have a free account or a premium account?

I have the free account! I guess if I sign up for an account then they let you add scanned photos?

This view ALWAYS gives me chills. I love seeing the castle lit up at night. I am so looking forward to my July stay at WL, but I'm REALLY looking forward to my October stay at the Grand Floridian. *SIGH* That is truly Disney magic!

We stayed in 1215 and 1207 last summer for the 4th of July (the water heater burst in 1215, so we had to move to 1207). And I have to agree with you, I liked the ones with the balcony better. I liked that the bedroom was seperate from the living space. We had some friends over in the living room down stairs, and they couldn't see the mess I made while trying to get ready!!

I also hope to stay in one of those rooms again, but since Dfi stayed in the GF over Christmas, he says he can't stay anywhere else....

By the way, Elisabeth, this is a great thread!!

kellyf2626 asks: How did you get this room?!?! I LOVE IT! We are booked in a 2-bedroom for our upcoming trip. Does this style room also come in a 2-bedroom style? How can we request this?!?!

Hi Kelly....
I'm not the one who stayed in that room, but I asked a similar question about these rooms several months ago and got this response (it might help). There are very few of these rooms to my knowledge (had there been more, we might have made BWV our "home" resort) :

in 2123, a "corner" standard 1 bd. We loved it! Great views of both Epcot fireworks and Fantasmic. We were right above an exit/entrance door
there are only three (I think) of these "corner" villas. (darn!) And they're all 1-bd. The bottom level is the exit door. Yes, they do feel much bigger. I don't know if it's the actual size difference, or if it's those three big french doors. They let in a lot of light. But I'd bet the room is quite a bit larger than normal. We also commented that it felt more like OKW than BWV.

I don't know what the chances are of getting this room, but it sure would be nice to be able to request it.

 

[kellyf2626]

MiaSRN62 - Thank you for the info. Sounds like they are only 1-bedrooms. But what an amazing set-up! Much more open as compared to the regular 1-bedrooms. Maybe in the future when we are staying in a 1-bedroom, I will make a request. Good to know that they exist!!

Thanks again!

Ooops, sorry kellyf2626. That was me that recently posted those pixs of BWV corner 1-bedroom. And thank, MiaSRN62, for pickin' up the ball I dropped.

Yes, there are only 3 of them and as MiaSRN62 says, none on the 1st floor. We had booked a standard 1-bedroom for 3 days in January. When we checked in I asked about the corner rooms (had read about them here of course. Couldn't get it the first night but it was available the next day. You are right, I think it's the layout that makes it feel bright and airy. Also, it's less points too. Gotta love that!

 

[cyjmhill]

Still wish I could see a few more picts of the remodle at the Contemporary.

I am not complaining....just wishing.

Love the thread!!!

WOW, how did I miss the news that WL changed their rooms?


Here are the first few room pictures I found, I'm sure I'll find more with a little searching through my files!

Loving this thread so far!

I have the free account! I guess if I sign up for an account then they let you add scanned photos?

Maybe that is the only way to add scanned photos? I'm not sure. I've had a premium acct. for a while now. It'll also help you from blowing out your bandwidth. If you plan on posting big photos often, you can easily exceed the allowable bandwidth on a free account.
