STANDARD 14TH FLOOR ROOM DESCRIPTION~ FROM Piglet72

Just got back from 6 nights on the 14th floor - standard room (4913). It has a bathtub, with a shower head on the wall for either/or. No built in cabinent, plasma TV sits on the dresser/drawer unit. I don't have a floorplan, but it's pretty basic - entryway w/double closet, doorway to bathroom (separate vanities and toilet) two queens on the side, desk w/computer on the other. Little bigger room than the usual size - nice balcony. AWESOME view. View is what the price is for. Nice concierge lounge (little small, but there is hardly anybody on the floor - only 14 rooms). We saw two other people the entire stay - we had the lounge/staff to ourselves.

There are two sinks - one is in the "main" bathroom with the tub/shower, and the other is in the separate "toilet room". Both are full size deep sinks. Bathroom is nicely sized-spaced out. Kimberle is correct - birds (especially seagulls) do visit these balconies - a word of advice - do NOT take food onto the balconies when there are birds visiting - they are conditioned for that - they will NOT leave and obviously, the longer they stay, better chance to leave you a little present.

We had a very nice stay - make sure you request a MK view when you book, then follow up with the concierge a few days prior to arrival, and reiterate when you arrive - I think you'll get what you want. The concierge staff was very good - they frequently left little presents for our 3 year old (balloons, candy, even a "autographed" picture from Mickey personalized for our son. They were very professional and very attentive.

From CR FAN
Actually there are 4 standard rooms with the Magic Kingdom view. Those rooms 4911, 4912, 4913 and 4915 and the only standard room on the Bay Lake side room room #4905. I am sure you know the only way you can try to get a Magic Kingdom view is by requesting it, since you can not make a specific reservation for it the way you can with a regular Magic Kingdom view on the other floors in the Tower, or with any of the suites on the 14th floor. I will say with the 4 Magic Kingdom views in the standard rooms you have a better chance of getting that view, however there is always the chance you might not end up with it.

4915 does not have a tub. It has a roll-in shower as it is a handicap-accessible room

From D&R love Disney

We've been in 4911 and 4912. 4911 only has a shower stall, it also has a bidet. 4912 has both a shower stall and a tub/shower.

The balcony and view are amazing. We've never found the concierge lounge crowded and the concierge staff is the best we've experienced!

Greetings from our favorite hotel!

The feature pool is filled with water, but the construction fence is still up and the patio surface is still "dirty" with construction dirt/dust. Obviously it won't be opened by tomorrow, and no official word yet from anyone of the CMs.

I'll be sure to keep asking and keep you up to date. I'm not sure how to post photos here from my iPhone, and I don't have my notebook with me. Sorry.

That is a really good idea!!! When are you arriving?

we don't arrive until april - so we're probably safe - but i'm crossing my fingers for everyone arriving after 3/15!

When you say 'feature pool', do you mean the big pool with the slide? If so, that is better news than I expected.... at least if the pool has water, most the work is done and now they just have to clean up! Right??????

Just noticed you are going to CR in April. So are we. Hope you have a wonderful trip.

Well when you walk out to the pool area their daily activity chalk board sign does advertise what movie is going to be played and what time it would start at.

If there is anyone intrested in making a reservation for the 4/3 deal with the Atrium Club - Magic Kingdom View, just thought you should all know you are not able to do that. This past Thursday when my dad called CRO to switch to the 4/3 deal the Cast Member said we were not able to keep our Atrium Club - Magic Kingdom View reservation, so we had to switch to the Atrium Club - Bay Lake View to get the deal.

That's interesting. They seem not to be offering deals on Atrium Club rooms with the MK view.

We originally were going to stay at BLT on our upcoming trip, but decided we really wanted to stay Atrium Club again. We were able to apply our 40% off PIN code to Atrium Club standard, but not Magic Kingdom view. MK view rooms were available, but only at rack rate. The 14th floor rooms were also available with the 40% discount, as were regular MK view rooms.

Guess they think they don't need to offer the discount on Atrium Club MK view for whatever reason.

Wow, we tried to switch to club level for a month in January and they were not even offering the 4/3 promo for club level so we finally switched to the Poly so we could take advantage of Club level.

Maybe that's why the Bay Lake View on the Atrium Club floor was sold out for dates because the Cast Member from CRO who switched our reservation to the 4/3 deal told my dad we got the last room on that side. Since I was still curious about that when I looked on the WDW website that same night with our dates, the only rooms available on the Atrium Club floor was the Magic Kingdom View.

Wow, we tried to switch to club level for a month in January and they were not even offering the 4/3 promo for club level so we finally switched to the Poly so we could take advantage of Club level.

Maybe they changed it around when they extended the 4/3 deal until August 15th to include Club Level.
