We're back! I had the BEST time ever on this trip. We were met at the airport by the limo from SE, thanks Channing for the referral, we were pleased with the ride over. Our first sight of the hotel and lobby was amazing. None of the many pictures I've seen prepared me for how beautiful it all would be, the lobby was all dressed for the holidays, the music was playing, it was all just perfect.
We were there for just 3 nights. I had a deluxe room in the RPC booked, but when we were walked in we were taken to a 2 bedroom suite! The room number was 4002. It was a room with 3 separate balconies, all had this little pitched roof over it. There was a fully decorated Christmas tree in the living room, it was just perfect!
DH took the kids to the parks every day that we were there, but I mostly hung out at the hotel. I didn't want to leave! I was able to do a few spa treatments while there, just heavenly. I had a massage, a facial and a pedi/mani. We had dinner at Narcoosee's, that was wonderful. We had a table with a perfect view of the castle, the food and service was great.
Here are a few of the pictures I took:
There were 3 doors to our room from the hallway: the first door led to a bedroom, on the right as you walked in was a full bathroom, on the left was a closet.
As you entered the room there was two queen beds:
Across the beds were a desk; TV unit with a flat screen TV and a blue chair,
behind the curtain was one of 3 balconies:
The second entry was two big double doors that led to the living room, as you walk in there was a closet on the right and a half bath on the left:
There was a fully decorated Christmas tree in the living room and behind the curtain was the second balcony. There was an ipod dock and another flat screen TV and a small table with chairs
There was a mini bar with sink, microwave and fridge behind folding doors.
There was a door that led to the master bedroom; this room also had its own entry from the hallway.
The master bedroom had a king size bed; full bathroom; another flat screen TV; a desk with chair and a third balcony.
Our room was under the three pitched roofs next to the big dome:
We had a wonderful view from all three balconies. We could see the Poly to the right, Contemporary and pool from the center and a great view of the Castle to the left. We watched the fireworks and electric parade from our balcony.
The main lobby was beautifully dressed for the holidays; I loved the smell of gingerbread and the huge Christmas tree. It was always full of people at night, I enjoyed sitting at the balcony in the calm of the lounge to people watch from above. We loved listening to the orchestra in the evening.
Thanks to everyone that contributes to this thread; you really helped with my planning what turned out to be a perfect vacation!
That is incredible. Was the suite named?? Just curious which suite it was. It looks gorgeous. We have not ever ventured up to the 5th floor. Thanks for the beautiful pictures. You moved to BWI after?? HOw was that?? I don't think I would have wanted to leave that GF room!!!!
I agree - it was great to enjoy the lobby ambience from the lounge!
I always include the tip in my CC payment, too. I have not ever had a problem with it - that whole situation would have left me with a foul taste. With the old SE this never would have happened. They were super honest & customer oriented and professional IMO. Maybe just a misunderstanding betwn driver/office....hoping....
