If we are at the end of one of the really long wings that bumbershoots loves so much, are their stairs one can use to avoid having to go all the way to the elevators? What I am really interested in is taking stairs down in the morning to avoid elevator back tracking.

If you are referring to the same "entrance" to DTD mentioned in the original post, it is located between rooms X447 and X449.

I know from other posts that there is a one-way door there by 447-449. I assumed there must be a stairway too. The maps do not show the stairways though, only the elevators.

I have requested a room on that wing and hope to take the stairs down in the morning when we do DL days and the elevator down to the special DCA entrance on DCA days.

What type of view did you request?

We loved it too. It was hard for us to stay out of the balcony

 

[HydroGuy]

What type of view did you request?

We paid for a theme park view. And I requested a room on the east wing.

I hope you get what you want, I'm eager to see the view from there.

How was the noise level?

When the doors were closed there was no noise, we were quite surprised, once the balcony doors were open there was a lot of noise, but as soon as the door was shut, nothing. The only noise was from the room beside, paper thin walls.

 

[aussietravellers]

Aussietravellers - did your room have bunkbeds????? If not, any idea if any of those in that strip of rooms does? We have 2 little ones

No that room was two queens.

I've heard a lot of people say that they were able to hear people in the other rooms. I don't know if we had good walls or if we just had quiet neighbors but we never had any problems on either side.

When we were there in August we never heard the neighbors, really never saw anyone on our floor the times we were in the building.

Thats pretty much the deal with us.

In what wing did you stay? Could the walls be better in the new wing?

Since I do not have a clue what wing is what wing, we stayed on the 4th floor right above and to thr right of the GCH, DCA entrance. It was an older wing. Must be the timing.

We leave Sunday Trying to get everything ready. Today is car and laundry prep day. We have paid for a standard room and requested a King bed, downtown Disney view (hope to see the fireworks from our balcony). Does anyone have any suggestions how we can increase our chances of a King bed with some type of nice view? Thank you in advance.

Yes there is a kids club at GCH, Pinoccios Workshop (spelling )
