Thought it might be helpful to create this thread and get info on SoG relocation in one place. Please feel free to supplement or correct this info.
SoG will close April 1, 2002 through August, 2003 for construction which will double the number of rooms at SoG.
Those holding existing reservations at SoG, and those making new reservations through SoG during this time period, will be relocated to the North Garden Wing at the Contemporary Resort. It appears that SoG will be taking over all of the approx. 300 rooms in CR's North Garden Wing.
Those with reservations which include the night of March 31, 2002 will be the first relocated to CR. They will be relocated to CR for their entire stay, even if their stay begins before March 31.
SoG has said they are backed up on this process and that those with reservations late in 2002 (poster had ressies in November) shouldn't expect a notification letter until the summer.
Rates for the CR will be the same as for SoG; however, unlike at SoG, 11% taxes will be added.
The guest services ticket office from SoG will be relocated to CR; however, the shops at SoG will NOT be relocated to CR.
Rooms at CR (422 sq. ft.) are somewhat smaller than the huge rooms at SoG (467 sq. ft.) but still among the largest standard rooms at WDW. CR guest rooms feature 2 queen size beds (or one king size bed) and a daybed, table with 2 chairs, armoire, television, nightstand, telephone, key-operated in-room safe, wall mirror, ceiling fan, large bathroom with hair dryer, luggage rack, iron and ironing board.
There are no balconies in the Garden Wing rooms at CR, but ground floor rooms have a patio area. The ground floor patios are shared with the neighboring rooms, except for a few ground floor rooms on the ends of the wings which have a private patio.
