Hi everyone. We are back a week now. Just wanted to report on our room assignment. I had not made any special requests prior to arriving at WL except that we had booked a Courtyard View. When checking in (12:00 noon on a Saturday) the CM asked for room preference, eg. bunk beds v queens, smoking or non. I was a bit surprised our room wasn't assigned already, so I said bunks would be fine, no smoking please, and I'd prefer an original courtyard view rather than a view of the Villas pool. She said okie dokie and gave us room 5035. It turned out perfect for us. We had a view of the pool and lake and were just a short distance from Roaring Forks to fill those mugs and down the elevator and out the door to the pool or boat dock. I wouldn't have expected any better if I would have remembered to fax my room requests.
Our housekeeping was magnificent. Not only was our room tidy, towels dry and clean, but she also left towel sculptures every day for the girls. It really turned out to be the highlight of their trip to come back to the room each evening to find out what was left each day. About Tuesday, DD9 left a note for housekeeping stating her name and age and thanking her for the towel animals. Later that day, we returned to find a huge Tinkerbell ballon. No note was attached but I would have to assume it came from housekeeping. This person went way beyond the call of duty. She literally doused us with pixie dust! Just a note, since the subject often arises on the board, I only left a tip at the end of the week.
We'll be staying for four nights at the Royal Pacific Resort at Universal, then on to the WL for seven glorious nights. We can't wait. Thanks to all of your posts, we have lots of things to look forward to. Thank you!!!
