I checked in at 7:00 pm last Friday and never requested a room because I really didn't care as I was only going to be there for 3 nights.

Our 2 bedroom was in Tower 3 with a lake view and it ended up being a fireworks view from Epcot as well.

You can always two weeks in advance and put in your requests about noise. And just check again to see what is available when you arrive.


Thank you!

We were able to complete the paperwork part of the check-in process very early on our arrival day, with the knowledge that the room would not be available until later. We gave the front desk person the necessary info and were referred to other desk to get our parking pass. Bell services offered to store our luggage, but we opted to keep it in our rental car. The front desk was able to tell me what tower and floor we were on, and I'm sure the room number was assigned, but of course he wasn't going to give us that information yet. They took my cell phone number and called when the room was ready. We just stopped at the front desk when we returned from the parks and picked up our room keys. We were offered full use of the resort's amenities, but we were planning to go to a park. I'm sure you could use the pools, but you just wouldn't be able to get into any of the towers and would have to use the rest rooms to change.

Cockroaches and many, many other bugs are all over Florida, and they don't care if it's the Wyndham, Waldorf or Wilderness Lodge, they'll show up anywhere.

Is it a problem? No, but if you want a guarantee you won't see one, then you'll just have to decide if visiting Disney is worth the risk!

cockroaches are the state bird..well they dont fly ..i dont think..but for sure the state bug..just dont feed them..and ignore them

Another question... are all the towers outdated or are some updated??? Should I *try* requesting a certain tower?

I think they are upgrading all the rooms. We stayed in main building December 2010 and the room had new granite work tops, new sofa, flat screen tv's and had generally been spruced up. Assume main building is the oldest building so maybe they are doing them up according to age.

I am hoping to reserve a 2 or 3 bedroom for the end of July. I have a couple questions...first, we would liketo go for 9-10 days...will this be possible? Or is it more likely to get a 7 day rental? ALso, I have seen some great deals on Ebay when owners sell their week....does this ever happen for July weeks? OR just the less crowded months? Am I foolish to wait until 60 days out expecting to be able to still get a unit?

If you arrive in Orlando the day before you can check into WBC, where do you stay for the night? Trying to decide where we need to stay...have to get three rooms.[/QUOTE

I would try Embassy Suites or Homewood Suites, you could probably get away with 2 rooms there or maybe 1 room if it's just for 1 night. Embassy Suites has two double, a pull out couch and free hot breakfast...I think Homewood Suites has the same.

We have always stayed at the Embassy Suites in Lake Bueana Vista (pink one) It is very nice. Seriously, I have stayed there at least 15 times. They do have a nice pool area too, which we love.

Thank you, jaysmom - that's good to know.

My trip is in june for 8 nights. I didn't know about the 7days rental peroid until I booked my air ticket. I have to book for a week plus 1extra day . Just got confirm about my booking, total is around 1600.00. the 1st 7days only cost $1200 which average to $170 per nights, the 8 day is killing me...it is an additional $355.00. btw, i booked a 3bdroom unit.

Who did you book through? I was able to book 9 nights and didn't have to pay anymore for the extra 2 nights than I did for the first 7.

Does anyone know what the current gifts are with the timeshare tour?

 

[::danielle::]

I would love to know more about using the buses to get to the resorts for Rope Drop. I was told that the buses start running at 8 am. If we catch the first bus, will we be able to make RD at MK?

Also, does anyone have experience with using a cab to get to the TTC? We have early morning ADR's and will need to be at MK one day by 8:00am.

Any advice or insight is appreciated!!

Hi, I have another question...has anyone ever shipped anything to the resort ahead of time? Thanks!

I have not done this but I called to resort to ask if it was ok. They said it was fine to ship to them as long as you clearly label with your name (as a guest) and arrival date.

Question.... Are there two double beds in one of the bedrooms in a 2 bedroom presidential unit?

I think the refurbishment has replaced any rooms w/ two queen beds with two double beds. That's for both presidential and deluxe. Leaves more walking room I guess... and it's cheaper/easier for housekeeping to replace bedding.

The gifts that they give is usually $100, but if you are not an owner, that is 2 hours that you have wasted of your precious vacation time. For owners it is 45 minutes, that is all they an keep you according to Florida state law. They also usually have discounted tickets, but we always go for the cash. I am not sure if this time I will good not, since we are owners it is only 45 min. I might do this whenmy DH is playing golf one morning. We'll just have to see!
