Unfortunately, no WL rooms accommodate a cot - 4 is the room limit. Is one of your little ones under 3? If so, could one adult sleep on the bunk? Or WL does have deluxe rooms - cannot recall the sleeping arrangements, but someone else will know.
Day 2 at WLV. Bus stops are still at the temporary location. I thought I heard the geyser but the guy at the front desk told me it was still down. Hot tubs are working just fine though.
WLV is awesome. It is so quite. We are on the 4th floor at the end of the hallway and it is so peaceful. Or studio has a QS bed and a pullout sofa. The sofa is OK but I am glad the kids are sleeping there instead of me.
I am definitely adding WL to my list of preferred resorts.
Gotta go. My 10 year old wants to go to the pool.

And, they are about 500 SF and have two sliding glass doors to the balconies and are not located on the 7th floor. Per square foot, they are the highest priced Deluxes at WDW. Not sure why though
So glad you like the Villas!
Last stay we were on the 4th floor in a studio too - corner room with a balcony and side window - it was fabulous! We loved the walk over from the Lodge - so peaceful and pretty. We thought we'd feel kind of out of the action at the Villas, but not at all. The hallways are so much wider at the Villas, which we prefer.
Thanks so much for checking in - enjoy!!!

It's interesting that the Deluxe rooms did not have CL access at one time. The Deluxe room at both the GF and CSR also don't have CL access.Thanks, Brian and Kook ~
Years ago we had one of the deluxe rooms, right on the end - terrific views of the lake, but the rooms were not nearly as expensive then as now - no CL included. Wonder why the price is so high. Not sure about GF, but some of the other deluxe resort rooms (YC/BC/BWI) also include CL, but are not on the CL floor. We were trying to book a BWI deluxe room last yr, but those are very heard to come by.
Anyway, thanks for helping with that info for the poster!
Go off on tangents moreSeems like YC on any level is generally one of the easiest to book with the most limited discounts. Have you stayed YC/CL before? I'll be interested to hear about it....but a funny story - sort of - when we first started visiting WDW in '81 (kids were 7 & 8) we stayed at the Poly or CR - not much else to choose from anyway, which was fine by me. We would alternate - back then every guest had turn down service and choice of a daily newspaper, local or USA Today...I digress... Eventually YC/BC opens and we get around to trying BC in '98 (we did try CBR when it opened in '88). By then my kids are young adults...we all walk into the room and what's the first thing we say, in unison? Not, wow, how nice..nope..."Wow, the room is so small!". To this day those rooms feel small to me for a deluxe - another reason we prefer the VWL to the Lodge rooms - the few extra feet help - not much, but enough. Still miss the huge CR & Poly rooms - oh and GF rooms are spacious as well.
Sorry for the tangent.
. Oh, I just love to hear about the good ol' days of WDW. Newspapers? What did they think they were, a Holiday Inn?
), but with all the exterior work going on there and the generally chaotic atmosphere in the lobby and lounge, I switched to the YC.
true - it was going to be dubbed hotel changers, but I suggested being Disney, resort would be more appropriate. This was prior to the actual unofficial thread. Yep, been around the block a number of times...every resort for 30 years and more trips that I can keep track of now. Well, not every resort - unlike Karen, I've no desire to try an AS resort. The rest we've tried - oh, not YC yet, but every time I book it, I back out. Blame Disney for a great code or AP rate that gets me back over to GF or Poly again. 
) WL & AKL rooms are the same size as CBR rooms - but both feel smaller to me than CBR, probably due to the heavier furniture and darker color scheme.
)
I don't know how many times I changed my last trip before doing the CSR/WL split. This AP has definitely paid for itself!
See you both (WDWKOOK and Minnie&Nana) are rubbing off on me. Now I've got WL/CL for December and I'm thinking of changing to CR/CL for the second half of the trip.
I also broke down with the AP rate that came out today and booked a little weekend getaway for June 3-5 to WL. The little princess is staying her first weekend with Grandma. We so deserve the weekend away.
Gotta change the ticker!!
