Yes, there's a blow dryer by the sink. Also an ironing board and iron if you need it. There's no coffee makers BTW.

I wish they would add personal drink stations with frozen coke in every room. No more walking across the property to get a drink. Just lean over from bed and refill mug. Ahhhh that would be the life. I'd never leave the room

Could someone post some room pics? Maybe of a king bed room?

DORK ON!

We will be there for 10 days in July. I've been thinking of buying one for 58.00 in Wal Mart and just leaving it there when I leave. $10.00 a night is just CRAZY price!

You will see many people lugging in coolers!

If you're really just going to leave the fridge, then consider donating it to Give the Kids the World at the end of your trip. They would love to have it. In case you're not aware of this program -- it's a "resort" in Orlando that caters to kids with special needs or they may on their last vacation ever. Just something to consider.

I will probably just be getting a disposable cooler. However, could you post a website for this organization. Like myself, I am sure others want to know more.
Thanks

These are not from a king room but they do show the basic layout.

Do you know if they pick up anything I would donate, or do I have to drop it off somewhere? I will be renting a car while I am down there.

OK with the new preferred rooms at pop, what building do I want that isn't a hike to the bus stop?

Your Welcome DISUNC.

You could contact them ahead of time and leave whatever you wish to donate at the front desk. A volunteer will be happy to come by and pick up your donations.

Do you mean which preferred section? If that's the case I would say hands down the 70's. We were there last yr and in the bigwheel building, section closest to everything pop and you just walked behind the building and around the end of the main building. That's the end the buses are on. Great location. You are close to everything. Everything Pop, playground, pop jets, and just a hop, skip and jump away from the pool and no pool noise. Just my opinion though.

Not prefered, I'd still say the 70's section.

First, this is what we have done too.

Second, watch out for the Mug Patrol. If taking back you mug to Disney is a problem, I would say that "taking" extra electricity should be a crime!

 

[Evil Queen]

Ok, I got through 15 pages of 145, I can't read any more posts.

Which buildings are the "smoking" rooms buildings?

Thanks so much.

I started a new thread but no one answered, so I'm hoping someone will see this one and can help me out.

 

[kaytieeldr]

It's on about page 108 - just use the "search this thread" option below the page number links above and type in the word SMOKING.

 

[Evil Queen]

Ok thanks. Still really didn;'find an answer (I did find several different ones). I'll just call them tomorrow.

Thanks! I will watch out for the infamous "Mug Patrol"!
