Is there a place to buy snacks now, prior to the new market opening?

Until the Sundries store re-opens as the Fantasia Market the items they were selling have been split between the Bay View Gifts store and the Fantasia store.

Any new photos of the pool progress? Are they still on track for completion by March 15?

Where would I find a quart of milk? Is that in the Contempo Cafe or is that in one of these stores?

It would either be sold in the Fantasia store or the Bay View Gifts store.

Is the Electric Water parade viewed from the Bayside that faces the MK or the side that faces the WL?

And of course as others have asked I'd love to hear about any updates ont he pool rehab!

The Electrical Water Pageant goes on both the 7 Seas Lagoon side in front of the Contemporary for those with the Magic Kingdom View and it also goes to the back of the Contemporary for those with the Bay Lake View.

Okay so in the guides it says it goes by the Cr at 10:05 which side would that be? I'm guessing the back which would account for the gap in time from the Poly to the CR?

I am not sure what side it would be. However I am guessing it goes into 7 Seas Lagoon first for the guests with the Magic Kingdom View, since it starts off at the Polynesian and the times are different because of Wishes and etc.

If memory serves from when I last saw it... it went from the MK side to the WL side...

We're staying in a BLV Tower Room. When I searched under room amenities, it lists a refrigerator as an amenity and does not indicate a fee. Yet, when I attempted to check in online, I could request a fridge, but then it says fee on check in. Can anyone confirm whether there is a fee or not? Thanks

There are refrigerators in all the Moderate and Deluxe Resorts rooms, so it's already included which means there is no extra fee.

Thanks, that's what I thought but the online check-in through that curve at me when it asked me about the fridge.

I had to chuckle when I read that. Tim Hortons here on the East coast is like oxygen. lol

Ok, so Im finally subbing! I've been lurking for a while, but we have decided to go with our dream of CR, and my folks are joining us. SO excited. We are going all out as it is a dream of ours, and my parents have NEVER flewn anywhere and have NEVER been down south. SO CSR+Dlx dp+limos+cruise for Epcot fireworks..cant think of the name)= one EXCITED me!!! Im counting down!!!

SO my question is, for Garden view Standard rooms, When should we reserve? WE have a great savings account, longer the $ is in there, more money for DW! AND, Im a little confused on the pool view rooms and the regular rooms. I get that they all will be nice, but are the pool view rooms more? Do you get more noise? Are there any maps of the floor plans for the garden view rooms? When we stayed at ASmovies last Dec, I was able to find a map of the sections with room numbers and if they were standard or view rooms. ANy such thing for CR??

SOOOO EXCITED!!!

 

[Honeystar120608]

Ok I see the map on page one. Are they are the same cost? In your opinion, which is the better room? Obviously closer to the monorail and bus stops, the better. But view matter too if its a great view. Also, we wont have a vehicle, so parking lot would be our least favorable area. The rooms near the lake, are those the suites?

The Standard Garden Wing rooms would be a view of the parking lot or the convention center. The Garden Wing rooms would either be a view of the pool or or Bay Lake, which means they are a little more expensive.

 

[PopArtGal]

Did the time frame we can reserve for tours become 90 days also?

 

[Trena]

Where can I find a link for on line check in? I can't seem to find one.

Maybe our reservation doesn't qualify for the on line check in. We booked on line through the convention center link. I do have a Disney email with our details, but there is no link in it for check in.
