Just watched the Tim Tracker video on YouTube and he was describing all the watercraft activities. We have rented the little Sea Raycers from WL before so knew that was an option but I didn't know you could rent Jet Ski's. Has anyone done that or anything else they offer on the water?

We've rented the waverunners, a pontoon and gone parasailing. All were fantastic .

Can anyone speak to how the pullout beds are in the BLT villas? If we decide to stay there, there would be 2 adults sleeping on it for a week. Thanks.

Like @rteetz i have tried em too. Dd and I have shared the soda sleeper a few times. It feels hard but I sleep great so ?

It's all good . No metal bar feeling underneath !

It's actually the north end of the tower that overlooks the shops. The south end would be over Chef Mickey's, Contempo Cafe, and the Outer Rim.

Ack! You're right. I got myself completely turned around thinking about where things are there in respect to MK. But of course, the skyway bridge from BLT is on the north, and obviously you don't walk through Chef Mickey's to get to/from there. Thanks for clearing that up!

Your room will be exactly the same on the inside. Stay the extra day!

Thank you! We were able to swap things around and reserve a Garden Wing room for Oct. 23-Oct. 27. Opportunely, we would have liked to have our reservation from Oct. 22-26, to allow two nights available at MK without a MNSSHP (there are parties scheduled Oct. 23, 25, 26, 27, we have tickets for Oct. 25), but now we have another full day in our schedule to enjoy at the parks and resort, at essentially the same cost and proximity to MK.

Thank you so much to everyone for your insight and advice! It's greatly appreciated.

So maybe a silly thing, but aren’t there alligators in the water? Jet skis seem a bit risky, yes?

 

[Manda_Lizabeth]

I would assume there are alligators? I guess it just didn't hit me that they could be lurking around?

 

[TeacherDL]

I hadn't thought of alligators either...ugh!

Anyone use the DDP at Contempo Cafe? We'll have a lunch and one or two breakfasts here and are curious about the alcoholic beverage options! 6 days!!!!!

Not really. They are afraid of the noise the wave runners make, they will be staying as far away from them as possible.

There were several varieties of wine in single serving bottles and also beer, either in a can or plastic bottle. I think that was it.

Looking to maybe stay at the CR in the Garden Wing as a change from our usual WL. Im not sure if I am seeing this correctly in the images but is the ground floor the only rooms with a patio/balcony ? The 2 upper floors dont appear to have any outdoor space ? Do I have that correct and if so can you guarantee a patio room ? Would not be keen on paying for any deluxe hotel room unless it had a balcony or patio

Thanks for your help

Yes, you are correct.

And if so can you guarantee a patio room?

Nope.

Hi Everyone! We officially made the switch from Polynesian to CR and I am thrilled about it!

I have a quick question: We have a PPO at GG one morning. Do buses still run from CR to Epcot that early, or do we need to Minnie Van?

In my experience, that morning PPO bus that serves the monorail resorts is sort of like a unicorn. Or bigfoot. People say it exists, but I've never seen it!

I'm also not sure of the relationship between monorail hours and the alleged early morning bus. Since a lot of times the resorts monorail opens at 7 and Epcot 7:30 (although that can change) - just when does the bus stop?

Honestly, I'd Minnie Van or similar if you have the option. Timing uncertainty stinks that early in the AM.

Thanks! As always you are most helpful! We liked the Minnie Van service very much, so we'll plan to use it.

The upper floors have Juliet balconies - no place to stand, but you can open the slider to get air and see out (or snakes if I remember correctly).

Wait, you can take Wave Runners out independently from CR? Are they doubles?
