I'm surprised you were not in a refurbished room. I'm staying at the Dolphin in Dec. and I do not want those old rooms. I've seen pictures and I thought they were horrible. The new rooms really do look great. Well, I'm glad you had a great time!
We were in a refurbished room in May, but I gotta say, I would take a non refurbished room with a balcony and a good view (our recent trip) than a refurb with no balcony (our May trip.) The non refurbed room was not *that* bad...just showed some wear and tear, and no flat screen TV, which doen't mean much to us. The only thing we watch on TV while at WDW is Stacy's Top 7. And let me tell you...we watch it OVER and OVER and OVER again!
"Mickey...Mickey's my boy."
"A little ditty called Summit....Plummet! Straight down the chute, brotha!"
"Japan France, Germany, Italy...yummy, yummy, yummy,yummy. The gelato guy in Italy? Yummy!"
