Oh you only have 1 day left. Lucky!! Have a great time and I hope to hear all about it with pics too please.
If you happen to be chatting with any CL CM's ask them about BC CL renovation time line. They probably don't know, but they might have heard rumors. When I was at the BC CL last month a CM told me a bunch of BC CL CM's are heading over to the YC CL side during the closing. Ok that was a lot of abbreviations LOL!!!And if you see Shakira in the lounge tell her she's awesome!!
Love her
I know...it's so tempting, isn't it? We're considering a summer trip and we would go before the pool closes....it's hard to break away from Poly CL, even with the bungalows in the way of the glorious view, we still love it.
I just looked up a bunch of different resorts -- we'd be staying CL over July 4, and I'd really like to try GF main building but it's NEVER available for any dates I check. Then I checked CR CL and I can get that. BC, yes. BWI, yes. But my heart keeps saying Poly for the juice, view, 4th of July Wishes, cabana at the pool, TTC.......
Crazy as it seems, all GF categories were wide open for us the last time I looked. I've never seen AP availability for that many GF RPC room types.
I get what you're saying, but Poly is a mess, and it's only getting worse by the day. I just don't think I'd enjoy myself there with the current construction. Would you really relax with all of that going on? Plus every time I read tikiman it seems like something else is closed... laundry closed, arcade closed, walkway to ttc closed, capt cooks closed, beach basically closed, pool closing, it's a mess.
So, I know it always seems kind of hit or miss as to whether IPO will reach out first or whether you have to do it first.
In my previous CL stays, I didn't have CL as an original booking, it was always something I changed my reservation to. In those bookings where a non CL booking was changed to CL, I never got the "welcome" email from IPO. I always had to reach out.
So, I just recently changed my August reservation back to GF SL. Because I had been booked through a TA deal, my switch to GF SL had to be a whole new reservation. So, with that new reservation made yesterday, I finally got a welcome email from IPO without having to reach out to them.
So, I know the theory has been thrown around, but I do believe that if your initial booking is CL, IPO reaches out first. But, if you change your reservation to CL, you will have to reach out.
Also, maybe I have nothing better to do on a Friday night than to ponder this.

I believe it is out in the evenings, but I think you can ask in the afternoon (like if you wanted it for later when you get back from the parks and the lounge is closed). Someone correct me if I'm wrong!
But I am curious...if you don't want it, why does it matter if it's available throughout the day or not? (Not meant to sound snotty)

! Yes those Olaf cakes were so cute! I did put some info on the cake chatter thread when we got back. I was a bit confused on which numbers to call because we also had a cake delivered to our room at Poly (lots of cakes!), so I emailed IPO and asked exactly which numbers to call for each place (Chef Mickeys and Poly room delivery). They gave me the numbers, but to be honest, I got transferred both times, so I'm not really sure what to tell you. I ended up with Poly in-room dining for the room cake. And I emailed the Contemporary to work out details, then they gave me a direct phone number to call to actually place the order. It all worked out really well! Let me get the info from the cake chatter thread rather than my memory....
I'm sure they're crediting people left and right these days. I don't understand why they just can't change the views, at least temporarily, to avoid anyone being disappointed. Lots of people book the Poly and don't read message boards or follow Disney news, can you imagine their surprise when they get there and find everything tore up?
The manager disagreed and that's why he credited us for LV room. I do wish they'd change the categories for the future people staying there.....I sort of got the impression that if a guest didn't question it, then nothing would be changed....
Oh -- well that explains it! Thank you
