I'm on my phone, so it could be me. How about a link: https://goo.gl/photos/fyDiSn1YTaqjXacH8

Nice! Did you guys get a cabana? If so, I'm going on vacation with you next time, Kristin! What tower did you end up in?

No cabana for us, we were walking by an empty one earlier and I snapped that pic to post. We are in tower 5, water view on the 7th floor. We love it! The easy access to the lazy river is a huge hit with DS and his friend! We haven't had problems snagging chairs at the pool, but I think this week is a little lighter than last week. I'm going to be so sad to pack up tomorrow!

We were there for 10 days and just came home on Saturday. We usually stay at the pool by the main building and never had any problem getting chairs, even when we waited until noon or so to hit the pool. It was way less busy this year than last year for our spring break. I was pleasantly surprised.

Now I'm intrigued on the cabana. How do you rent one in advance? Going to be there with planned resort day on July 4th so that may be a nice touch.

I just called the main number and they transferred me I guess to the activities desk.

Anyone happen to know if the entry doors to the villas are magnetic?

Just to answer my own question in case anyone in the future has the same question: YES.

We used magnetic hooks to hang a shoe organizer on the door for magic bands, room cards, sunscreen, car keys, goggles, sunglasses, activity schedule, etc. (and passed it along in the purple Pay it Forward bin):

Love this! Last time we stayed in a place like this, all that stuff ended up on the kitchen counter. By the end of the week, it was a mountain of stuff.

Does anyone know if the TVs have an HDMI port? I'd like to know if I can stream Netflix on the TV through my laptop. Thanks in advance

Yes, they have HDMI ports. Your mileage may vary on streaming video. We've had pretty good Internet there, but it does slow down a bit in the evening when everyone is back in the resort and on.

@Upatnoon - Thanks so much! I'll keep that in mind. Looks like I'll be bringing my copies of Lilo and Stitch and Pirates, just in case

Just wondering.... are there any pizza delivery recommendations? Would like pizza delivered to hotel room. Thanks!

Upon check-in, the front desk gave us a list of recommended local places that delivered along with a listing of local grocery stores, pharmacy, liquor stores, etc. I've never had anything delivered at WBC but some of the most recommended pizza places in Orlando tend to be Giordano's, Flippers, and NYPD Pizza. I'm sure others have personal experience and can recommend a delivery service!

Part of our first night tradition is ordering Pizza / Pasta .. from Flippers

They call you when they are on WBC property.. and it is Required that you

Meet with them .. Downstairs just outside the Lobby of whatever Building / Tower you are in.

Flyers are occasionally slipped under your door .. by various other Restaurants that Deliver

But they are not Approved to do so by WBC .. Past Reports are .. in most cases the flyer-food is sub-par.

Sub-par food at best, a scam for your credit card info at worst. A while back the DIS Unplugged podcast had a local law enforcement officer on talking about safety tips and she warned against giving info to the flyer "businesses", I have since read the same thing somewhere else, that article said to look for a physical address on the flyer if you do consider ordering. A scam wouldn't be a real local establishment with a valid street address.

We called Domino's at 407-239-1221 with no issue and a great pizza last week. You will need to know the address and zip code, They will call you just before they arrive so you can meet them in the lobby entrance. No need to give your CC info as they accept cash upon delivery.

Okay, so I'm here now. We booked a vacation package for a 1 bedroom through Expedia. However, at check in, they said that we have 3 separate reservations: 3 nights in a 1 bedroom, 1 night in a 2 bedroom, and 3 nights in a 1 bedroom. The check in people said that Expedia did this and we'd have to fix it with them. So, we've called them several times.

Has this ever happened to anyone else? We ended up spending the night at the airport because our flight was delayed. We called the front desk, but they still put us as a no show last night. I'm wondering if this affected our reservation?

Thanks in advance for any advice or insight.

I was just there last week, building 5, floor 7 and the Wifi was awful. I had 3 Mbps down and about the same up. I called the technical support and got them to reboot the Access Point, but it was no better. he told me they throttle the bandwith because of the amount of users.

We have not been to this resort in over 2 years. What are the preferred buildings to request now? Want something updated and with a fireworks view! We will be there in October! Thanks!

All the towers have been updated. The latest to be updated was Tower 6.

As for fireworks, when they have them at Hollywood Studios most of the units with a lake view should see those. Many other units will have a view of the Epcot fireworks. Some may have a few of both. I would guess that 70 percent of the rooms might have a fireworks view when they have them at Hollywood Studios.

As for requests, you can make one when you check in, but nothing is guaranteed.

Tower 2 & 3 BBQ areas are closed until 21st as they are currently under renovations.
