Just got back from 5 amazing days at the BWI CL - we were in room 4271 and had a great view of the boardwalk and the lake. We were just down the hall from the elevators and the host desk, a little further on to the lounge - amazing location. Housekeeping was fantastic, always leaving us taffy at night and turning down the beds, lots of extra shower gel etc and fresh towels. I had a birthday card, balloons and box of chocolate waiting for our arrival.
We checked in at 930 am but the room wasnt ready, had a text at 3pm that it was, this was fine since we were at Epcot all day.
The staff was outstanding, went above and beyond with service, remember our names and such - our favorite stay CL so far. I had made purchases and had them shipped back to the room but instead of going to the Screen Door to pick them up the CL delivered them to our room!
99% of the guests in the lounge were older people, they seemed to hang out all day - we only saw children twice and it was for a few minutes, it was so relaxing watching the Epcot fireworks from the lounge instead of the crowded park.
There was an incident where I had to go to the Celebration hospital at 5am and the staff was able to get us a taxi voucher so I didnt have to pay for the ride. (Thought I broke my wrist, it was a calcium deposit that "broke free" and tore the ligaments/tendons in my wrist. I was back in the room by 830)
Breakfast offerings were cheese and sliced ham, salami etc, plain and cinnamon raisin bagels, danish, croissants, hard boiled eggs, muffins and croissants, oatmeal with all the fixings, juice, white and chocolate milk, apple juice and sodas, melon berries etc as well as bananas, apples oranges, coffee cake, cereal, coffee and teas and the best Nespresso cappuccino machine that I want to buy for my house! Same items every single day, they had all the jellys, peanut butter, cream cheese, butter etc for you to use as well as flavored syrups for coffees and teas, honey lemon etc
Afternoon snacks were lame, do it your self trail mix, gummy fish, chocolate chip and sprinkle cookies, house made chips with hummus and dips, peanut butter jelly rolls - same snacks every day
We only made it to the dinner offerings twice. The first time was tomato soup with mini grilled cheese sandwiches, veggies, meats and cheeses, peanut butter roll ups, breads, hummus. The second time was amazing, cream of potato soup with chopped chives and bacon to add (real bacon!) cous cous, veggies, meats and cheeses, foccaccia, rolls, chicken nuggets, pork belly sliders, peanut butter roll ups. We canceled a dinner and just ate in the lounge it was sooo good! The CL host was able to cancel 2 of our reservations for us without penalty as they had other guests that wanted the same reservations - win win
Dessert at night was not bad - the same cookies again, chocolate and vanilla cream puffs, chips and dip, key lime tarts, cinnamon coffee cake, fruit tarts, mini smore tarts, mickey mouse ear bon bons, brownies etc
I just cannot tell you how friendly and fun the staff is - they really made our stay alot of fun Next time I book the BWI it will def be CL!
Dh has wanted a house on this lake(he grew up summers there) and we found a great location with a charming 1929 built house! Needless to say, my Disney trips beyond what I have planned will be few and far between
