We just got back from another great stay at WL. As we mentioned before, we are so impressed with the additions to the resort and how well everything ties together. Geyser Point is a huge plus, and Roaring Fork is still nice, although we do miss our waffle toppings.
One thing we looked at while we were there is that they did with the rooms that open to the lobby on the South (CCV) side. We found that they added a villas laundry room on the 4th floor on the East end of the rooms over the registration desk. Unfortunately this is accessible to Villas guests only (and yes, I tried my Magic Band).
It is also interesting to note that the former guest rooms next to this room (the 4th floor former Standard View rooms over the registration desk) are no longer in use. These rooms had a poor view from the balconies due to the roofline of the adjacent building. They do not have room numbers now, and have Cast Members Only signs on them. The sliding glass windows have been blacked out as well. The rooms above them on the 5th, 6th, and 7th floor appear to be in use.
I got a couple of pics with the doors open as a CM went in / out one morning. It appears they are being used for storage.
An interesting question to me is what became of the old honeymoon rooms on the South side 7th floor. The doors are still there and numbered 7095 and 7096. I haven't seen a CCV Villa Floorpan that indicates what was done with these.
Finally, the "Bear Face" rooms on the South side of the lobby on floors 4 and 5 appear to have been converted to a studio and a 1 bedroom, which connect to form a two bedroom lockoff. The Studio is the room closest to the center of the lobby (4103 or 5103) and the 1 bedroom is South of it (4105 or 5105).
I see these as very desirable Copper Creek Villas.
like you said!
Personally I don't like the smell of the sea salt so I bring my own products.
