Hi everyone,
I just returned from Disney and my stay was at the CR. I had booked two discounted rooms (military) and requested first floor, Garden Wing. I was hoping for a little "magic" with a tower upgrade but didn't figure that was going to happen with the two rooms. I requested first floor because my father was with us and using an ECV and just didn't want to hassle with yet another elevator. We got two adjoining rooms with a lagoon view. I really enjoyed the Garden View rooms. So peaceful. We also did use our car a few times and it was great to have the parking lot right outside the building. I did not do online check in. We got to the resort about 9AM to drop off luggage and take care of the ECV pickup so I just went up to the counter. Then we headed over to MK. Our rooms were not ready until right at 3PM which was kind of a bummer but no big deal.
It was a bit of a hike to the Contempo Cafe each morning to get my big mug of hot tea, but no big deal. I was really pleased with the food selection there. On our first day, we had one of the flatbread pizzas for lunch--really very good. Cupcakes were fabulous there.
My only real "complaint" here, if you can even call it that, was that on several days when we came back to the room for an afternoon cool-down/shower, our rooms still had not been cleaned/towels refreshed. One day we just skipped it and asked for towels. On our next to last day there, when we were just hanging out, they were there at 9AM cleaning. None of it was a big deal but I just found the timing odd. Compared to other hotels, they seemed to take a long time going through the rooms from start to finish. But they did an EXCELLENT job cleaning and the staff was always so friendly.
