We are on our way home from a trip to CR and FWilderness. We have stayed at CR several times. This is the first time DH had a business meeting there. We got a conference rate so the price was great. We requested a tower room w/ MK view but didn't get our hopes up since we were receiving a reduced rate and were placing requests thru a business
travel agent. We were pleasantly surprised to receive our requests. We also called ahead around 1 am to say we were an hour away and could we get in and pay for the extra night. They were booked but we were surprised to get permission to park our RV in the parking lot and spend the rest of the evening there. The kids were so surprised to wake up with the monorails overhead and there favorite place right out their window.
As we typically find at CR, the staff was accomodating but not overly helpful or warm. I was excited to see the "new" rooms. At first glance they were a definite improvement. The beds were comfortable, the matresses appear to be new, one still had a tag on it. After living in the room for a day I had a few issues that became evident:
1- I miss the table by the day bed. Although there is a table on wheels by the desk that we eventaually moved to the daybed area, it was quite small and taller than a coffee table would be. We orderd room service ( a whole other story) and there was practically no place to eat.
2-The bathroom was the biggest disappointment. The bathtub and tile floor are the same as before. The shower had poor pressure. My shower at the Fort Wilderness comfort station was better. The sinks in the bathroom are interesting and contemporary but they take up a lot of space. There is hardly any counter space. The toilet area is the same but they removed the extra sink and counter that was in there. I really missed that. It is now just empty wasted space (there is a sliding door now so there is no room for the counter).
3- as noted on here previously, there is very little drawer space. There are 2 tiny drawers in the closet and two drawers between the bed and desk, which I didn't even notice until the next day.
4- Overall I felt the room could have been cleaner. When doing our room search at checkout (behind curtains, under bed, etc) we found the edges to be dirty. The glass sliding doors, wood, and chrome in the bathroom had splatter marks and smudges on them that never disappeared for the 4 nights we were there.
5- The tub was severely clogged and I mentioned that to my maid. It was fixed the next time we used it.
6- It appeared the daybed was the same one as before with a new fabric on it (?)
7- One of the best things for me about CR is the view and watching Wishes from my balcony with the narration/music broadcast over the TV. If the kids are asleep I can't go to the viewing area. I called and asked about which channel and was told that you can't do that. When I toild the CM I had done it in years past they told me they knew nothing about it. I asked about it at the front desk the next day and was told they are trying to fix it.
On the plus side there is a flat screen computer for your use. I didn't use it the first 2 days because I didn't really need it and there was a sign that said there was a daily 9.95 charge. My husband told me that one of the men from his meeting said it was free because they were trying out their online concierge. I would not have known this if someone hadn't told my husband. It had icons for bell service, reservations, etc but I never used those. I just used the internet access. It came in handy when I wanted info from the DIS about the pirate/princess party.
Overall, the rooms were an improvement but I was a little disappointed. I felt the quality and design could have been better. There were no Disney effects either, I would have loved some contempoary disney art or monorail designs, something...
Of course you just can't beat that view and the proximity to the MK...
He is doing the happy dance for me. 
I have been on another thread and they all want to see it go and the new addition added. I don't have a problem with part of it being DVC I just think it would make the outside looked unbalanced. Also, like you, I think they need to leave it, Poly, and FW alone since these were the dreams of Walt. Just my opionion.
As noted previosly by many of us....the drawer space and bathroom design leaves something to be desired. I really don't understand why they don't add a small dresser or a shelving unit in the toilet room with all that wasted space in there.
