Normal tub/shower combo, not tall like the whirlpool tubs.

This may sound like a weird question, but we are staying in a BLT studio on rented points for two nights following a cruise. There are four of us (DH, myself, twin sons). I see we'll get four towels, but will there also be four washcloths? In the above photo it only says two.

I don't know from personal experience, but you would think you would get one complete set per occupant?

I hope so. I mean, I love my family and all but we don't want to share washcloths.

Hi all, I have a trip planned for myself, DH, and two young children (1&6) in Feb. Was planning on staying at POFQ but am second guessing myself. (I'm sure I will be second guessing things until we arrive!)
The AOA family suites caught my eye because of the room size and I also keep looking at Riverside Royal Rooms. I'm nervous however that with an eight night stay and two very active children a mod room may start to feel cramped. I looked through availability again and clicked on Contemporary- there are garden wing/garden view rooms open. Being able to walk to MK would be wonderful but can anyone give some insight about how the buses are between CR to Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios? Are there shared buses? I just don't want to have the convenience of walking to MK but then have it be miserable getting to other resorts.
Also, is Garden Wing a nice location or does it feel too removed from the main building? I also read that garden wing rooms don't usually qualify for any discounts; is this true?
Thanks so much!

I've completed the conversion of all of my Photobucket photos on the first page to "Disboard photos." This was a tedious task, but now none of those photos will "disappear," and I won't have to pay a yearly fee any longer. I also updated photos and information in all 18 posts, especially in the Club Level and Room chapters. I will get to adding names/dates to the Log-o-Rail tomorrow

Thank you to all who answer questions and post photos and trip reports!​

When I stayed at WL this summer, we did share with Contemporary/BLT on both those routes. It didn't feel overly crowded. Everyone got a seat and that was around the time pandora opened. I don't know if that continues beyond the summer but if it does, there wasn't a huge worry. You could try to the bus stop a little earlier in the morning if you do rope drop.

Looks like the "Not Sure Yet" in your signature has changed to CR! I'll get everyone logged tomorrow. Thank you for the use of some of your photos both here and in the WL CL chapter, and thank you for your kind offer!

No problem, will do @crazy4wdw.

Hey guys. We'll be staying in a 1-bedroom at BLT October 11-22. This is our first time in a 1-bedroom as last year we were in a studio.

Quick question. I looked on the first post but didn't see it updated. How does the new setup for security work for Magic Kingdom? Thanks!!

Congratulations on booking, @MissMet, the one bedroom is fantastic!

We will be staying in a 2 bedroom villa June 2-9! So excited

WOOHOO! I'll log your dates, @nursemelis374

2 quick questions (We'll be there tomorrow!!!!): Is there shower gel in the included toiletries, and I see wine when I look at post 4 on shopping, but is there beer available to purchase? Thank you!

Yes and yes.

My wife and I are spending this weekend at WDW with no children. We are booked at the CR tomorrow through Sunday. We are in the A frame theme park view. Is asking for the highest floor possible a reasonable request?

Yes, that would be among the more common requests for many folks. Note, rooms are assigned around 5 days ahead of time, so your room is likely already assigned. Were you planning on asking at check-in?

 

[acrmedic]

I believe we requested it online a few weeks ago, but planned on mentioning it at check in as well.

Ahh, got it. If you don't like the room you're given, you can always ask to see if they have something higher up. Hope you have a great trip, we love CR and will be there in a few weeks as well! Have fun.

Guys I am sorry for so many questions but as I am nearing my 60 day mark I am in full-fledged planning mode.

Staying at BLT for the bulk of my stay in a TPV room. Do I need an odd or even room number to be able to see MK while in bed.

I am SO late to post. The Pas fam stayed at CR from 8/2-5th in a Garden Wing Hospitality Suite and OH MY MICKEY! This resort is my new MK favorite. I didn't love the décor before staying there, and I will be honest that I was quite nervous about the CL after amazing EPCOT CL stays recently. BUT the room was the best and I ended up loving the décor. We had Atrium CL access and the CMs there rocked!!! Our room was HUGE and fit all 7 of us, thank you @trishadono for your encouragement to keep the reservation!! The views from the room were of the parking lot but we never looked out anyway....the CL view though! WOW! Pictures cannot do it justice. Mousekeeping was fantastic, and the location at the end of the building ensured we were close to the pool and the tower. LOVE LOVE LOVE! I would not hesitate to stay there again and the food in the CL was perfect to keep a very picky Grumpy hubby happy. Also a huge shout out to @WDWKOOK miss you my friend!
