Thanks for that. I am planning on getting a delivery from gardengrocer and want to fill the fridge with as much milk and juice as possible.

Here is a picture of their fridge and I would say yes it can hold that much Milk.

Mickeysmyboy...thank you and I KNOW you'll enjoy your stay. October should be much, much cooler than August. The heat "wiped me out" ... our previous 2 visits have been in September and while it was still a little on the warm side the heat index wasn't 110! Go to main page of this thread - Disney Resorts -Under Sub-Forums the list is "Disney Discount Codes & Rates"; "Countdowns & Live Reports" and then "Resorts Photos and Videos". Locate "Official Bay Lake Tower Photo...." and enjoy.
PM me if you have any questions ... or want more pictures!!! Between my 2 DD's, DH and myself we have at least 2000 photos!

Got a question for all of you experts............
Have any of you visited the World in June? We are thinking of the 2nd week of June 2011. But would love some advice before continuing. Of we don't go then, we are thinking about doing a Christmas 2011 trip. Any thoughts on either of these?

I've stayed the first week of June a couple of times and it's nice. Believe it or not the crowds are low. Now one thing you have to know is that sometime in June (usually the first week) is gay week. We just stayed in parks that were not choosen for that day and it was fine. As far as Christmas goes it would depend on the dates. I went about 25 years ago during this period and the crowds were CRAZY!

I have never been there during the month of June, but I have been there during Christmas and that week until New Years is very busy. Now if you are able to go a few weeks before then the crowds are a lot better.

Great pictures. Thanks for sharing. Wish I could go now.

Well, not an expert, but we were there Mon June 7 for the week this year. The parks were not crowded at all. The weather was HOT. We have been in Sept, May, April, and Oct (different years), and the June heat topped them all. We had a great time, but found we enjoy our vacations at Spring and Fall Breaks. One year, we do plan to go during Christmas and do the MVMCP.

Great pictures, goopysolelady. We just upgraded our February reservation to MK view in the Tower, from a garden wing room, something I swore I wasn't going to do. I am so excited and just eating up all the information I can get my hands on about the CR!

 

[Rags]

Great Pics!!! We can't wait for our first stay in Nov!!!!

 

[seadd67]

awsome pictures. We are looking into staying there Sept/Oct of 2011. BLT looks like a must there.Any advantages of wich floor you stay on?

Thanks for the info about June. Nice too know it is not too insane that first week. Still debating it as a graduation celebration.

Looks like we may be giving up on the idea of Christmas. I love Thanksgiving there and may just stick with that since my kids are still in school I would have to go the week of Christmas.

Sounds like the weather is HOT, HOT, HOT. But if crowds are low, it may be worth it. Trying to come up with a good graduation celebration.


I appreciate all of the help! You guys are the bestest!!!

I've got a tower Bay Lake view room booked for the end of August 2011, and I'm debating on upgrading to CL. I've never stayed CL at any resort before - should I go for it? What do you think?

Well I personally think it's worth it because I have had many great stays on the Atrium Club floor, their Cast Members are very friendly, the lounge is great and the food offerings are very good. However the bigger question is do you think it's worth it for you, since everyone is different and etc. My advice is read the 1st page and the 1st reply of the thread which includes all the Atrium Club information you could want.

This may seem like a silly question, but....

I have recently seen pictures of the CR closets and it looks like there are not any hangers in it. Are there hangers available? Or should we bring our own if we want to hang things up?

Also, how many drawers are there for clothes, etc?

thanks!!
