Here is my quick mini- report from the WL CL. I am not a picture person so this won’t have pictures. I will try to touch on things I had questions on before our trip. I will also be posting a Legoland review over on the Orlando forum because there aren’t many of those to glean information from.
We stayed at the WL CL 9/04-9/09. We were lucky that our trip ended just in time to get out before any weather. The CMs were wonderful. Manager Jay and staff worked with us a few different times on hurricane preparedness travel plans, which we ended up not needing. I did notice a CM that was working in the lounge also at the front desk when we were leaving. Not sure if that was because of being ride out crew or normal. They did seem to be training a few very young looking CMs in the lounge during the week. I was so impressed with their professionalism when I am certain they had their own personal concerns that week. We made sure to give our best wishes to as many as we saw on our last two days.
Our room was 7062. We drove in on 9/04 from Legoland and had a car return for the Car Care Center. I did online check in. We arrived at the WL around 9am, about an hour before we had indicated we would arrive. When we arrived at the WL, we stopped at the guard shack, he sent us to the portico to unload. We were met by Bell Services who helped unload our luggage and water. I shipped all the items to Bell Services, other than the park bag and stroller because I was not expecting our room to be ready. My DH then left to return the car (he needed to make an arrangement for a work related rental for a few days later). I headed into the Lobby with our DD. As I entered I turned left and there was someone at the small desk there (was the lobby concierge at one time?). I asked them if I was to check in at the main desk for the Old Faithful Club. He didn’t know what that was. So I said “no worries” I will head to the check in. In the mean time, Kaylyn had come down to find us and he pointed her in our direction. She took us up to the CL floor, showed us how to use the gate and checked that our bands were working, gave us a quick tour of the lounge (breakfast was still going), we stopped at the CL desk (where she informed us our room was ready and that our request was met), she also gave us “happy birthday” pins with our names on them because the trip was to celebrate our 40th birthdays. Then she walked us to our room. It was at this moment, I got a room ready text also. Kaylyn also gave us a quick walk around in the room, pointed out our chocolate totem from the Ganachery and our printed itinerary of our
MDE plans. We also had a sheet with lounge times and the WL CL cell phone number. She encouraged us to make use of the breakfast in the lounge until 10am. Once she left, I called Bell Services and I swear they appeared in 2 minutes. We unpacked for a bit, then grabbed a snack for us and one for my husband who still wasn’t back. When he did return, he had no problem coming up, going through the gate and getting to the room.
Room
We were in room 7062. Our only request when I was contacted by DSS about 5 days before the trip was to be close to the lounge. We were the second door on the MK side of the hall. Our view was slightly obstructed castle, great SM and CR view. The only negative was when you looked down you could see the service area and you could always smell the smoke house (a sweet smell not smoky) when you were outside (personally not a smell I prefered, but it wasn't strong enough to be a problem) . I am guessing all the CL rooms on the MK side are like this. I did not realize how few CL rooms there really are now on the 7th floor.
Room 7062 is handicapped accessible which puts the entire bathroom into one room and only has a single sink with a very small counter area. We ended up hanging our toiletry bags from one of the towel racks and just keeping a few items on the counter. It also moves the fridge over to the corner by the far bed because of the modified entry and closet area.
The fan was on a timer and motion censor and shut off pretty quickly. This was good, our room at AoA last year had a fan that would just turn on even if no one was in the bathroom and even if the light was off, very annoying. I could get ready at the sink without really triggering the fan. For a night light, we just left the curtains open and it was plenty of light if you woke up in the night.
Our room had two robes, which I actually used once. We got the sea marine h20 products that were replenished if removed from the tray in the bathroom. We also got, on the second day solar relief, and foot cream, plus two small moisturizing creams. I went home with a small goodie bag! We received turndown everyday with chocolates and on a few days the old cards with the quotes on them. Turn down occurred anytime between 3 and 7pm for us. She came one day and we had just gotten back from the pool, so we said no thanks but she gave my DD chocolates anyway. In addition to turning down the bed and straitening the towels, they took any dishes we had from the lounge. This isn’t a due or die service for me, but it was nice to come back to a freshened room in the evening.
We got one towel animal, but most days they moved the two stuffed animals we had with us and my daughters blanket nicely onto the bed. (I always remove them from the bed in the morning so they don’t get lost in sheets.) My daughter also left a chocolate fingerprint on the bed cover one evening, and housekeeping changed it. I didn’t even know if they would notice it or not.
Our room had accent pillows but no accent blanket at the foot of the bed.
I thought the fridge was turned down too low when we got there so I turned it up..... ummm don't turn it up much, it froze our snack veggies and fruit, but not water.
I really wish I had taken time to explore the resort more and relax in the lounge. We spent most of our outdoor time at the old pool because the kids (our extended family was at the WL too) were into the slide, and our DD was still young enough to test out what she called "the contraption," the splash pad area. We did eat at the new counter service by the lake, Geyser Point. What a great spot and good food. Just some minor check out issues but I think that was the server's error. Again, I wish we had gotten back there more then once. But like we told the kids "we can't do everything, we need a reason to come back."
My husband enjoyed the Dead Guy and the draft Hefeweizen. The Yuengling appeared on our last day.[/QUOTE] 
) I just upgraded my "budget" stay in January from SV at WL to CL at WL because why not? I was practically drooling over

For this great write-up, really appreciate all of the details! All this WL CL love lately...
