Lobby Room at WL?

[triplefigs]

Are these rooms really noisy? What is the Courtyard Lobby Room View like? Is is it of the pools/lake? We just changed our reservation to WL for Christmas and are very excited!

I have never stayed in a lobby room, but I have stayed at WL. I found the lobbby to be extremely noisey and busy. The noise from Whispering Canyon is overwhelming. I have read several trip reports from people who have stayed in lobby rooms and were very unhappy. They say the noise from WC goes on from 6 am to midnight.

With 3 young kids, I think I would try to get any room but one overlooking the lobby.

Do you mean "Countyard" or "Lobby"? I assume that you mean Courtyard, since as far as I know, you can't reserve a Lobby room. The doors to many Standard rooms open to the 6 story lobby area. They can be noisy because the lobby is often crowded, and if you are near Whispering Canyon, it can be especially noisy. I believe some Woods view rooms open to the lobby as well.

Sounds like you have a Courtyard view room. If you have a Courtyard view room, you shouldn't have to worry about too much noise. In most cases the balcony of these rooms look out over the main pool. We had one last time, on an upper floor, and there was virtually no noise at all. With the door closed, the room was very quiet. With the door open, you could hear kids yelling in the distance. We have also had the Courtyard view looking out over the Villa pool. It was always quiet there, even sitting out on the balcony.

Our last stay at the WL we had a Courtyard Room with the entry in the Lobby. We did not notice any excessive noise at all. It was a beautiful room with a great daytime view. At night the view was obstructed by the illumination lights of the lodge. We felt like we were in a "Stage Spotlight"
Therefore, we really couldn't see much at all in the evenings.
