Anyone here have any experience with Ap rate for club level last week of October? I know this year will be higher due to the season change, but I would like to get a rough idea? Thanks!

Last night at around 7pm I sent off an email to the IPO email address that Majestic gave me. This morning I woke up around 6:30am and there was already a reply from them. I'm impressed in the response time. They emailed me a copy of the new Wildlife Discovery Excursion pamphlet, as well as the Personal Vacation Itinerary. Now the fun starts of deciding which PSs and shows we want to do!

That's great that you got a response so quickly! How many days ahead of your reservation did you contact them?

 

[MAGICinMYHEART]

Wow you guys! I just found this new FAQ thread and it's already on page 59!!! Awesome front door work, Fred.

Our trip is in the beginning of July, so I guess that's about 5 1/2 months away.

Do you mean concierge at the Lodge...I just called and received a quote for Feb 15 Value Season a standard view of $109.00 a night, (Rack rate=$199.00) I then requested a quote for concierge was given $270.00 a night, (Rack rate 360.00) The last week in October will be regular season so if the same amount is given for the discount it should be around $305.00 a night before taxes. (Rack rate $395.00) This is just a guess.

Could someone help me please? I have booked a woodsview room for our March trip and would love to know what requests to make for a good view/location (we also would like bunkbeds)! Thanks!

 

[Buzz's_girl]

Hi again. We are heading to WL in 26 days, and I am wondering about a good room location. I have two rooms reserved (connecting) and they are standard view rooms. If I request a view, say of MK, will that increase the cost of the room?? (since I am already paying for 2 rooms I dont want to pay more for the view).

Any suggesstions on which rooms to request??

Thanks again.

I have a question regarding BALCONIES.

What kind of balconies are there for the 6th floor rooms, Woodsview, North wing?

I saw a thread asking this question; it has some replies, but I decided to ask th WL experts.

Thanks in advance!

I'm completely psyched at the moment!

Just booked 8 nights at WL from May 12th - 20th!! The best part is that I got an INCREDIBLE rate (email code) of $181/night courtyard view.

My parents and I were expecting to go in May and do 6 nights CSR and 2 night WL. But when I got the email code and found out the room rate we immediately switched to WL for the whole stay.

OK WL Vets...I haven't been to WL in 8 years, at least not to stay, we've visited on our last 2 trips (Aug 2003 & May 2004) I've put a request for inner courtyard, higher floor, non-smoking and I've had it noted that the trip is to celebrate my parents 25th wedding anniversary. Do you know if WL does anything special for occassions like this?

I'm on right now because I finally get to go back and for 9 days no less Talk about Disney magic We've been on over 20 trips to WDW and have never gotten emails or postcards, so it was wonderful to get one that applied to our upcoming trip

Great rate... ...I would request one of the bear face rooms (Inner Courtyard/Lobby View) on the 4th floor. I'm not crazy about staying on the higher floors when I'm in a Courtyard View room because I love watching all the action. We stayed in room 4079 during Christmas which was the first room down and around the corner from the elevators (not next to them so no noise) and located over the Lobby (no noise from WCC) just down the hall was a beautiful deck area with chairs and rockers overlooking the back of the Lodge toward Bay Lake, located on the other side of the lobby (still on the 4th floor) was a smaller fireplace with large comfy chairs for reading or just relaxing. There were chairs along the railing of the Lobby so you could just sit right outside your room and take in the Lobby anytime you wanted (At Christmas this was a great location to watch all the Christmas performers) There is also access to a gigantic deck that is located over the front of the Lodge with some great views (not the MK)

Which ever room assignment you receive you'll have a great time.

At first I thought we might be there the same time...but I don't arrive until the the day your leaving... We'll be like ships that pass in the night.

You had better get busy girl you only have 12 days before your 90 day window comes up, decisions, decisions.

My DH smokes once in a while. We are booked in a concierge room for our trip in July and just asked me about being able to smoke there.

Is smoking allowed on any of the balconies, even in a non-smoking room? Or only on the balconies of the smoking rooms??

As of yet I haven't requested a smoking room. Do I need to specifically request a smoking room? How many, and where (what views), are the smoking rooms on the 7th floor? Thanks!

 

[Majestic]

There are no smoking rooms on the 7th floor at WL. The smoking floor is the 6th floor north wing.

Officially Disney's policy is if you are in a no smoking room, you are not supposed to smoke on the balcony either as it can affect guests in the rooms next to you.

OK--I am sure I have seen this topic somewhere in the previous 59 pages but.... Can anyone tell me if the CM's will help you get to a computer to print an airline boarding pass? I assume this is available in these days of e-tickets but I am not sure. We were going to bring the laptop but when I saw there is no high-speed internet access we changed our mind. Any help would be appreciated.
