We arrive in 7 days! We are flying in from Syracuse and taking the DME to Contemporary. We land at 9:40 a.m. and have no plans until dinner at 'Ohana at 5:30. I'm figuring it will take about 2 hours to get to the Contemporary--does that seem about right? We are only planning on hitting the pool on arrival day, but we will have been up since 3 so i'm hoping to somehow convince our daughter to maybe take a nap once we check in.

I always budget two hours to get to my resort when using ME. And there have definitely been times where it's taken that long!

Ditto. We always factor in 90 mins to two hours, and that seems to be about right.

Good morning!

Wonderful view of our favorite resort, thanks for making me smile on a rainy day in Maine! 3 weeks from yesterday for my triumphant return though!

Anyone know when they will start offering AP discount for theme park view rooms?

Do you mean the current AP discounts? Or, AP discounts in general?

we are attending a conference at Contemporary and am booked into a Bay Lake view room. I haven't called yet for price or availability, but is the theme park view much superior to the Bay Lake view?

This has been discussed at various times on this thread, but ultimately it comes down to personal preference. In my opinion, which is shared by a few others here, the Bay Lake view is actually the superior view. We were upgraded on a previous trip from a BL view to a TP view, and we turned it down because we like the BL view so much. However, there are plenty of others who find the TP view very magical and couldn't imagine staying at the CR with any other view.

I've read that you can see the Epcot fireworks if you have a tower room, facing Bay Lake. Can you also see Epcot fireworks from the beach or boat dock?

 

[Greenturtles]

Thanks AaroninWI. If the BLV is equally nice, but for different reasons, then I'll stick with it. I found some older threads that also addressed the view question and saw varying opinions. Thanks again!

Ok CR fans, we will be at CR this December. We were WL refugees ha ha! Not to look a gift horse in the mouth, but, I just can't get super excited about staying there. We have been to Poly, BLT, BCV, BWV, BWI, and VWL. Each had its' pros and cons. Proximity to MK is really the only upside to me. Am I wrong, or missing something that keeps the crowds coming? The will be my DH, DS9, and myself. DH is really excited but, I am just not this time around. I wanted theming and CR is just plain stark to me?
