I don't have pics, but I'll try to give you a few more details.
Upon arrival, a CM was outside to escort us.
Our room was not ready yet, but she checked us in and we hung out in the lounge.
In our room a nice box of special chocolate bars with wilderness totum pole characters was waiting, along with welcome papers.
Every night we received a schedule of our stay, from a CM who goes from room to room. Turn down also occurs every night, they will leave ghiardelli chocolate squares. It's early, like 530, and if you're there and don't want them in, she will just give you a handful of these.
If you need something, the desk CM will always help, or any roaming around.
When you are in CL you are "in it". The entry door you enter is for the whole area, then rooms are down the hall from the lounge. None of the rooms are particularly far. There is an elevator down the other end which comes out near the Roaring Fork. To get back up, you must scan your band near the floor numbers. This was convenient since I had a mug from the stay before this where we had those. The reason is I like my coffee hot, like in the RF. One gripe I had with CL is that they put the regular coffee in caraffes, so not as hot.
This was also convenient when I thought I would miss seeing the geyser yet again and needed to get there quick! It goes off each hour, but actually starts at the xx:58 till maybe 1 min. after.
I'm sorry to say you may be dissappointment in the food offerings of you have been following some of the previous posts most recently, unless perhaps they are many days put together.
Here's the gyst: Always in cooler mini Dasani waters- this was great, always grabbing one on the way out, and don't forget to keep a couple in your fridge for early morning pills or whatever.
Also sodas always, yogurts too, chocolate milk, I'm sure I'm missing something. There is also always coffee caraffes, glass dispensers of fruit infused water, lemonade, ice tea.
From 630 to 7, there is a cart in the hall with coffee and tea stuff . Food portion closed where waters are. Of course the CMs are in and out, so you can ask. The sit-down areas are always available.
7 - 10 breakfast is always a hearty slab of meat like smoked turkey or ham, some kind of cheese slices, boiled eggs, mini muffins (usually. Choc. Chip, but also had bran once and bluberry once. Some days mini cinnamon rolls, others the mini Danish. Bowl of mixed fruit, think berries, pineapple, melons. Always available is fresh whole fruit like an apple or banana. Also oatmeal with fixings to put in it each day.
The express machine thing is always there as well, which is also for tea.
Toast can be made too and maybe bagel? Not sure on that.
The food part closes between services.
Snack time is like 1030 - 4.
The right part of the cooler now gets beer from the Pacific Northwest like Dead guy and Sessions? And 1 others, you can ask if you want Budlight. You can just grab out of fridge with cold glasses in there.Thats all I know about that because i didn't drink wine, only beer. Also at the 5 -7 appetizer time, they have IPA on tap they pour for you, which I liked 1 of. Midday snacks are always either choc chip cookie or sugar, and some kind of a mini cupcakes. This was also what was at the 8-10 dessert time, but swap it with the other version of. At dessert time they would add a pot which contained like a blueberry crumble or something. And a glass mini jar with something, one night I had a lime type thing with graham in it.
At snack there is always some kind of chips too and trail mix offering s which vary slightly each day and the baggies.
At the appetizer there is usually a pot of something, and a cold thing or two, almost always these are fish dishes and you've never heard of them. One day there was Shepherd pie in the pot, however. One time was shrimp cocktail. Also usually rolls.
I can't remember if the specialty crackers and cheese and the wierd dips was during snack or appetizer, I'm leaning towards snack on that.
They post a menu earlier in the day, just outside the food area with that nights appetizer menu after the coffee cart leaves.
You can see the fireworks from the balcony in the lounge, they open up a little porch that probably confotably fits 6 esp. if behind for more. However, if you go down the hall toward the other elevator, there are these window shades you can open, but windows are closed.
If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.
BTW, the boat is always quicker, and the bussing is Very bad from Epcot and possibly DHS and DS. If you see it and you think you can make it, try. We have waited, no joke 3 times 30 min. At Epcot. It shares with Contemporary on the way back, but you will get off first. The week before at AllStars the busses we're stellar.
