If you don't have a car then I would suggest walking to the Magic Kingdom bus station and getting on the bus to the Beach Club.

I would love to post my pics but everytime I go to do this, it won't let me. It tells me that I am not able and allowed to do this option. Any suggestions?

Can't wait to see them! This is from the DIS' FAQ page:

"Easiest is to set up an online hosting account, like www.photobucket.com. It's free, works very well here with the boards, many use it.

Once set up, just follow the steps on that site to upload a picture, or pictures. Once uploaded, just go back to where you can see your pictures in your photobucket album and do a single left mouse click on the line of code that has IMG Code words before it (just click on the code itself, once). ** That will copy all that is needed to make the picture show up here, including any necessary code tags (do not add anything). Come back here, go to a post, single right mouse click and select paste. That's it!! Do a preview, see how it looks. If good, then post."

All their 1st floor rooms have a patio, however their 2nd and 3rd floor don't have a balcony. So if you want a patio request a room for the 1st floor.

Thanks CR--do you know where I can find a pic of the garden wing?

ETA: looking on the photo thread here: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1747476&page=10

Another question? Has anyone ever gotten a chocolate monorail (not the white stuff they call chocolate--the real thing--chocolate! lol)

You're welcome and here is a link to the Contemporary picture thread, which should have pictures of the Garden Wing.

Thank you both!

Another question: If we're in Garden View--what's the easiest way in to the main building? We'll have our resort mugs to fill, etc? Is there a place near the pool to fill them?

From the Garden Wing I found it to be a 5 minutes walk or less to the Tower, if you were going to the Contempo Cafe to refill your mug. Since the Sand Bar which is located by the pool does not sell the mugs I don't think you can get them refilled over there.

ok--I can do 5min. We'll be getting breakfast there some mornings, too.

How long does it take the launch to get to FtWilderness? We have adrs for Hoop De Doo one night--beats trying to take busses!

Just wanted to see if the pics would come up. I will post the rest of them.

This the one of the bedrooms which both had 2 queen sized beds and full bath.

This is a pic of the living room and dining room from the bedroom that we stayed in.

This is a pic of the dining room which seats six people and off in the background is the wet bar area which has a full sized fridge and then also a smaller fridge (stocked with all kinds of drinks) and microwave. Also a sink and bar area with 2 bar stools.

The foyer which is a nice size with 2 closets (one on each side of the double entry doors.

This is not a good pic but this is the 3rd bathroom in the suite and it is located in the foyer area. It has a big beautiful shower and the bath itself is a nice size.

This is the sink area in the foyer bathroom. I think this is the only bathroom that I took pics of. I think because the others were just normal baths with the toilet being separate from the rest of it with it's own sink in that area.

This was my parents balcony. This was the balcony closest to the MK and the Presidential suite.

This is the view from my parents room into the living room and dining room area.

This is the balcony from the living room.

This is the balcony from the dining room.

This is the balcony from our bedroom.

This is our bedroom again from the door angle. I just realized that I don't have any pics of the other bedroom except with my family on it and I don't want to post them. Sorry. I can tell you that this was one of the biggest and nicest rooms I have ever seen. If you have the money, do it once in your life.

wow!

love the suite!

I'll never be able to afford that.

Good to see what it looks like.

 

[disneylover74]

Thanks so much for posting the info about photobucket. It is so easy once you get on there. Just takes a little time to put them onto the post and then write a caption for each of them. Thanks again for the info!

I am not sure how long it takes because it's something my family and I have not done. Plus it also goes to the Wilderness Lodge and at one point the order changes between those two stops, where it will switch which one it goes to 1st and 2nd.
