You're lucky, CR was completely sold out for Jan 5-11. I even checked the following week- nothing

Can someone direct me to the BLT room view thread looking at standard view any on the 5th floor?

 

[WDWKOOK]

I can't wait to catch up on the information here before my first stay at the Contemporary for New Year's Eve!

Welcome to the DIS and the thread, tmosier! Do you have a TPV on NYE?

Made the switch and saved money!!!

to the DIS and the CR/BLT thread!

There are some outer villas on the north side that go up to the 5th. The thread is located HERE. The link is in the first post of the BLT chapter of the thread (POST 14) under "BLT Links of Interest."

Hi Kook,
I haven't had much luck with military offers for this vacation, maybe it's the dates.
We leave two weeks from today. Our atrium club portion is Oct 27-30. I went with the bay lake view, it sounded pretty. First time at a monorail for us, we are very much looking forward to this trip.
Thanks for all you do as hostess with the mostess. This thread has been very helpful as I've worked on planning.

Oh Ginny dd loves Atrium club! They have such warm CL CM's.

It is fun to look over rail and watch the activity of the concourse

Catching the monorail in your lobby

The view is amazing too!

Have a great trip

I hope you will report back after your stay. We've never stayed at the CR, but we're hoping to try it sometime next year and it's always great reading about other people's experiences .

I agree 110% about KOOK...she's a great hostess and is always very helpful .

I will be happy to report back. I've always thought the Contemporary was amazing. We are so looking forward to staying there.

I will be looking forward to your report . I'm sure you will have a great time. We've stayed at the Poly and GF and being on the monorail and being close to the castle is so magical .

Hi folks,

So, our UK family is returning to the CR in the Summer (2015). Our boys are now 16 and 10, and can't share a bed without falling out! How does the day bed work.... Are there are pictures anyone can share? If you request, will "they" provide sheets etc., is that something you request on checkin?

Thank you so much!!!!

You're very welcome, Ginny. I'm glad you've found the thread helpful. I didn't even realize you were splitting with the Atrium Club so I just added your dates to the Log-orail. What an exciting trip you're going to have soon!

I agree with Trisha that you will love relaxing in the lounge with DH and taking in the expansive views. The BLV is our favorite room view. You and DH really deserve this trip and I hope it's extra magical for the both of you

I hope you will report back after your stay. We've never stayed at the CR, but we're hoping to try it sometime next year and it's always great reading about other people's experiences .

Welcome to the thread! There is a link to open daybed photos in the ROOM chapter of the thread. HERE is the direct link to the photos.

The daybeds, like the sleeper sofas, are already made-up when you check-in. You just have to open it and add pillows…and an occupant

The Magic Kingdom hotels will be testing a new bus route from 10/12-10/25/14. The bus will run between the Contemporary Resort, Grand Floridian Resort, the Polynesian and Typhoon Lagoon. This will fix the problem of all Typhoon Lagoon guests having to transfer at Epcot after 2:00pm.

Just wanted to add that dd and myself each 5'5" and ds 5'11" have each slept in those day beds. Not as comfy as the queens but better than any other hotel day bed we have ever had. They are slightly slinner than a twin but about the same length. There is one blanket in the closet but dial housekeeping for as many as you need.

Best part is how quick they are to make up. Simply pull down from back and there it is

I think someone on another thread you posted indicated "high floor, away from Chef Mickey's". I think I am leaning this direction as well.

So I made a bunch of changes all over again. We had to switch to a late flight for our arrival day so we added a night to the end of our stay but unfortunately the CL MK view room that we booked wasn't available. And since the RO discount is over. I would've had to pay rack rate for that last night. So the only way to add that last night with my RO discount was to switch to a regular Bay Lake view room. I'm sad that we won't be able to try CL or have that view of Wishes at night. Now I'm wondering if I made the right choice in switching..

That's what we typically request, too. Although, truth be told and in my opinion only, the noise from Chef Mickey's is only an issue if you like to (a) sleep late, or (b) come back in the middle of the day for a nap. And honestly, we fall into both categories and still weren't bothered all that much by it.
