Few questions about CR

[princessap]

I have a few questions as we plan for our next trip....we are thinking garden wing at CR....I have a few questions though. When we stayed at the poly our girls loved seeing the castle from the beach and pool. Is there anywhere at the cr to see the castle from the garden wing section? Or anyone on property?
Thanks

I have not stayed at the CR but have stayed at BLT and our room looked down at the garden wing and I have spent time at the CR pool whcih is next to the garden wing.
Considering the garden wing is on the southeast side of the CR and MK is to the northwest of the CR, I would doubt very much if you can see anything of MK from any rooms in the garden wing...the CR building itself will block any view of MK. It maybe possible to catch a glimpse of some of the castle from the garden wing rooms at the very far end (towards bay lake) but I would doubt it.
If you want a view of MK, then you need to book those rooms at the CR towers that face MK and the GF.

Thanks. I don't care if I can see it from our room or not bc I don't think the money is worth it personally. I was just wondering if there were places on the grounds where you can see it like at the poly where you can see it from the beach and pool.

You can see it from the monorail platform. And from the California Grill. I think there is also a balcony for watching the fireworks on the 4th floor, though I've never gone out there.

Thanks. Is there anywhere to see it when just walking around the property? It was my girls favourite thing to see from the pool at the poly and is why I am finding it hard to switch to cr next time

The side of the resort facing the Magic Kingdom are almost all parking lot. If you want to see the castle, you will need to go looking for it. Most of the guest areas of the resort face the Bay Lake side.

I don't consider myself an expert but a large part of the 4th floor offers great views of the MK. Also, as a PP stated, the Pool offers more of the bay view. We stay at CR/BLT for one reason, the walkway to the MK. I would ask this question on the CR lovers thread. I bet they can tell you a lot about where to see the best views.
