The ALL NEW Disney's Contemporary Resort & Bay Lake Tower FAQ with PICs! (FEB 2010)

[Leafsgirl36]

I was running my dates through the CR for the week of Sept the 19th to the 27th and could not get It. It looks like starting that saturday night through at least the 27th there book?. Is there any chance that these open up say In the next week or so?

There are all kinds of rooms at the CR for that date.

 

[WDWKOOK]

I found only the suites available for the GW and no BLV for the Tower, except for CL, but everything else is available.

If you are looking for a special there were only BL and MK CL rooms left but without a special all the rooms were available.

 

[WDWKOOK]

Hmmm... I just checked the WDW booking site without a special for 9/19-27 and what I posted above is all that was available when I put in those dates for two adults.

 

[Leafsgirl36]

Here is what I got when I plugged in the dates.

Tower - Theme Park View Included

Standard Room - Atrium Club Level +$810.08

Magic Kingdom® View - Atrium Club Level +$1,260.12

Garden Wing - 1 Bedroom Suite +$4,500.12

Garden Wing - Hospitality Suite +$4,950.04

Not sure what room they are looking for

Did you look under the special room only promotion that goes until October 1st or as a regular room only reservation without a discount?

That's what I posted I came up with yesterday. Perhaps she wants a non-suite in the GW or a non-CL BLV in the Tower or as CRRF4L wondered, maybe she was trying to use a discount.

Maybe we'll never know...

We still have over 7 months until our 1st BLT stay, and I can't wait. Reading a new post everyday helps me get by. Thanks.

So I have ANOTHER ? regarding our upcoming trip to BLT.

We are staying in a Studio LV. My understanding is the only laundry facility available to those in a Studio units would be the laundry room on the ground floor.

Are these machines in the laundry room coin operated? If so how much per load?

Thanks again for all the helpful advice!

 

[WDWKOOK]

Yes, the laundry room is located on the first floor off the lobby.

Perhaps the washers and driers are free to studio guests, like at BCV and the only charge is for detergent

Stayed at BLT MK view last February and FELL HEADS OVER HEELS IN LOVE

It is a beautiful resort and the view from our room was spectacular. But, the location really made it! Everything was so close and right there!

We are hoping to stay in a 2 bedroom lake view this December!

Now I look like I was makeing it all up, but honest last week when I ran my dates through the disney web site was giveing my the cabins as alterative,none avalable at CR.

 

[seadd67]

I also ran them through with AK savana view Club about the same price,,,thats awfully tough to pass up

That had to be a glitch on their website because as we all know cabins aren't available over there or are listed among their room categories for 2011.

our first trip this September and we will be staying in a garden wing room at the Contemporary! So excited!!!!

You guys might know this ... I just started another thread about jogging on property and was kindly directed to disneyrunning.com, a helpful site.

They had a map there about the path at the contemporary -- http://www.disneyrunning.com/joggingtraildc.html -- but it seems a bit outdated.

Can anyone tell me if a similar path exisits with Bay Lake Tower replacing the north garden wing area ... or did the construction "kill" this path entirely?

thanking in advance!

The best path is now through the parking lot area from the GW to BLT (and back and forth) or you can jog on the path that runs from the CR to the MK and continues to the canal that the EWP boat goes down (the path ends there).

The Olympiad has treadmills and if you're not in a big hurry, you can take the boat to the WL and jog all along the wonderful, wide paved path from the WL throughout FTW.
