Crazy4wdw,

crazy4wdw,
Thank you for posting all of that information.

Couple things:

• Life vests are available at the marina by the pool, and are the semi-hard plastic kind, not the stuffed fabric kind. You not only have to show your room key, they fill out paperwork that you sign. Seems like overkill to me--at POP they just have a big bin of them out.
• The Wave was marked as "private invitation only" yesterday. I think I previously said it was open.
• The Cocord Steakhouse is closed off but it doesn't look like there is an actual construction activity happening.
• Last night I was able to see a wee bit of the parade floats from the pool area. I was told it starts at 10:05.

Sorry if I had previously provided incorrect information--I blame vacation brain!

Last night was nice--they showed Finding Nemo by the pool and we ate candy from Goofy's.

AKL has the life vests by their pool too that you can just grab. I wonder if CR makes you do all that b/c of the lake.

I saw "real" guests going into the Wave tonight!

And there was frisbee on the beach with some kind of light-up frisbee. Neat.

How could you tell they were "real" guests? Was it the the type of clothes they were wearing?

Thanks for posting the menu for The Wave...I am interested in the children's menu, specifically for breakfast. Any ideas where I could find that?

WildOcscar - Thnak you for the CR pictures.
Loved the Mary Blair 5 legged ram mosaic picture


Just curious- from the picture of the New DVC tower rooms being buildt - will the DVC tower ruin some of the views from the CR tower balconies ?

Will the rooms in the CR tower facing the DVC tower look like apartment bulidings next to each other ? No view of MK or Bay Lake ? Just a view of your DVC neighbor across the 'road' ?

There is no room that is "directly" facing the Bay Lake Tower. It is well off to the side of the main tower, and while it can be seen if you look to the side, it does not block the view of Bay Lake or MK. If you look at post 1031 on pg 69 you can see that it is off to the side
