As in the information on what drinks they have specifically? The have coke products, lemonade, powerade, iced tea, hot chocolate. I'm sure there are a couple other kinds of pop but I didn't get a drink there all but once this trip.

You can also get hot tea (they have hot water and a variety of tea bags). I think they also have coffee but don't know much about it since I don't drink the stuff.

We stayed in a studio at the Villas from May 8-15, our room was the first studio you come to on the third floor just past the circle rotunda, right across the hall from the housekeeping room. We never really heard any noise except for fireworks and electrical water pageant every night. Didn’t really hear any noise in the hallways, which I was worried about.
We had room 3531:

This is entry way into the room, to the right is the vanity and to the left is the kitchenette:

I thought I remembered the bathroom being a little bit bigger in our room last year:

Shot of the bed and sleeper sofa:

Queen sized bed:

Table and chairs, this is also where the internet port was:

Views from balcony:

Also, I should add that there was a dresser with a flat panel TV on the wall opposite the bed. This room was also a corner room so it has an extra window which we enjoyed. I would request this room again because it was so close to the elevators.

I am at 10 days and can check in online
I've always done online check in at the Poly and liked the shorter line. Should I use online check in for VWL???

I usually use online check-in at WL. It does seem to save a bit of time depending on when you arrive.

I'm at 16 days right now!!

I have been lurking on this thread for months. We are planning our first stay at WL in December. I haven't read any talk of the beds. Are they nice? I don't mean aesthetically (I have seen pics) I mean are they comfortable? When we stayed at YC, the beds were heavenly. POR were pretty uncomfortable. POP (brand new after refurb) were pretty comfy but not like YC. How do the beds at WL rank?

We last stayed over Christmas, and I have to say that the bed was awful and it is one of the only negatives of the room (other than we had a connecting door with loud neighbors) that stuck with me. It was one of those mattresses that sloped toward the edge of the bed toward the nightstand in the middle of the two queen beds.

I think they were way past due to be replaced. At least in our room, they were not even close to the quality of the AKL, YC or CR where we also stayed last year.

The beds was also one complaint DH and I had. We stayed in the honeymoon suite one night and the villas for 7, and both beds were pretty hard.

-Oh dont be like that every response cant be great. You will have a blast

I feel so tired and exhausted from walking and walking so much at disney that by the time it comes down to sleeping I dont care what I sleep on. Granted it is not like my bed at home but hey I rather be in disney on a crappy bed than at home. We plan and plan longer than our trip will be and I just want to take in as much as I can and try not to let the small stuff bother me.

So many people differ on beds and what they like about them. I stayed at CSR and WL last trip and loved the bed at CSR, but really liked the beds at WL. The trip before I had a bed that was too firm, but my Moms was too soft for her. We switched beds! Lol.

Guess nothing is perfect.

Enjoy it anyway.

Awesome! It's one of those things that tells you that vacation is right around the corner!

Thanks for all the responses on my "how are the beds" question. I guess what I am hearing is that they will not be like YC... probably more like POR. I am not terribly picky, but a hard bed is not my favorite thing in a room. That being said.. I am sure it will still be a great stay!
