Just back from WLCL, GF, and BWICL...

[Sazzo'sMommy]

does anyone have any questions? Everything was wonderful and we had a great time! Let me know what you want to know...I'll do my best to answer!

 

[triplefigs]

Glad you had a good trip. How was the GF? What bldg/view did you have? Any info would be appreciated! We're going at the end of November.

Would love to hear about the BWICL. We'll be there in 15 days

We were in Conch Key, and it was absolutely great! I have stayed in all the deluxes, but this was my first trip to GF and now I have a new favorite!

The rooms were huge and wonderfully clean...the cleanest that I have stayed in on property!

I see that you are going to be at Sugar Loaf...I saw while I was there that they now had cordials in the evenings. Good for you! We tried to book CL here but it was full...we even tried to upgrade upon check-in, but still no luck!

We had a marina/monorail view in Conch Key. It was wonderful...we requested this for the baby! She loves her monorails! We walked out the back door and looked to the left and boom...there was the castle! The baby said each time we left, "Look Mommy, there's the castle!"

We could see Wishes from our patio. We were on the first floor in room 7123. Mousekeeping was wonderful and everything was just great!

BWICL is great! Robin and Scott are two exceptional cast members! I hope you have used Alana and the others at IPO...they are truly the best!

We only stayed one night, due to an emergency at home, but we stayed eight this past fall. Our room this time was infested with ants, but pest control came up and took care of them! Our room was huge and it had a daybed for DD.

We were located right above ESPN and the view was spectacular!

We truly do love BWICL! It is our favorite area and a wonderful CL with great cast members! Please tell Scott and Robin hello!

Thanks. Amy has been taking care of us. We have a deluxe room and requested to be on the fourth floor. How were the food offerings?

Of course when we arrived DD (2) said, "May I have Goldfish?" That shows that even at 2 they remember little things! She also found out that she likes the sugar cookies with sprinkles too!

Everything is great! They had cinammon rolls, pastries, cereals, bagels, OJ, milk, coffee (decaf and full), a coffe machine...new since October! It was great...makes all sorts of drinks. They have flavored syrups tp add to coffees...I love this! I had a cafe mocha before DD and I went to MK for extra magic hours until 1AM! It was great!

Snacks were sugar cookies, sugar cookies with sprinkles, chocolate chip cookies, Goldfish, pretzels, nuts, lays chips, cheese popcorn, lemonade, iced tea, sodas, and coffee. Water always. They gave me bottles to take to my room!

Cheese and wine course was four wines, three types of beer, sodas, tea, water, coffee, four types of crackers, four types of cheese, a veggie tray, two types of hummus, three types of breads, and two hot dishes.

For desserts and cordials they had four or five cordials and three trays of desserts. They still had out beer, water, and coffee.

My husband has asked for beer on several occassions before the 4PM service and they always go get him one. He also needs two glasses of OJ at night and in the morning when he first wakes up and they give him plenty to put in our fridge!

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the quick response. We are really looking forward to spending time there :thewave:

 

[triplefigs]

Thanks for the info. Sounds wonderful. I'm really looking forward to CL when we go!

 

[Sazzo'sMommy]

You'll love it! It is a great treat for a Mom to take her children to WDW and feel as though she is being taken care of as well! That's what my DH said! That I deserve to be taken care of...and WDWCL's do just that for me!

Knowing that your children are taken care of snack wise and all the little extras make it all worth while for me!

Have a brilliant Christmas trip to WDW!

 

[Sazzo'sMommy]

triplefigs, have a drink in the lounge for me on the 29th...it's my b-day! I prefer a merlot!

 

[triplefigs]

I totally agree with your DH. What a wise man! I am really looking forward to this trip, even more so now that SL is full service. The snacks, food for b'fast, drinks, glass of wine or beer, and late night desserts will be great. And I'm taking full advantage of the pre-planning for ADR's, etc.

Thanks for the good wishes!

 

[triplefigs]

I'll actually remember to do that as it's my MIL's b'day also! You had a Thanksgiving b'day last year, right? We were so stuffed from turkey et al, that we hardly touched the b'day cake I got for her!

 

[Sazzo'sMommy]

I was actually born the day after Thanksgiving! I love the holiday season...it is so much a part of my nature! Really, have a blast and enjoy your triplet's first WDW vacation! They will love it! The MVMCP is so much fun! Enjoy!

Really, have a blast and enjoy your triplet's first WDW vacation! They will love it! The MVMCP is so much fun! Enjoy!

I completely plan to have a BLAST!

We just got bumped from the Poly CL and after much deliberation and research here on the boards, we decided to go with BWICL. I called yesterday to see if the requests I had made at the Poly had transferred, but their computers were down so I will call back next week. I was wondering about room views...can you see EPCOT from any of the rooms? If not, is there a special view you would request? Thanks for any help!!!

There's a thread Useful Concierge Info... KERRYCM seems really to know everything when it comes to BWI. She has been of great help. Post there about the rooms and I'm sure she will answer

Hi WE're staying GF this fall, have two 2 yr olds! We're staying main bldg, is this convenient to monorail, & do you think we'd be ok bringing a dbl stroller? What was your 2 yr olds fave about the GF??? Did you do pool/beach? TIA for sharing

 

[Sazzo'sMommy]

2tinksmom...they do have rooms with a view of EPCOT...at least we have seen Illuminations and France from our room before. So, if you have a standard view room, you could ask for an EPCOT/Illuminations view!

 

[2tinksmom]

Thanks for the info!! I will ask about the EPCOT view now and also check out the other thread!
