Aw Nutz! You're arriving the day that we're leaving.
DH and I stayed in a 1 bedroom last year, and it was fantastic. We were on the third floor, overlooking the pool. From our balcony, we could "peek" between the trees and see some of the Electric Water Pageant. (It's very woodsy. If you really want to see the EWP, head to the beach for the best view.)
When you check in, you can ask to be the "Flag Family" during your stay. For this, you'll be taken to the roof of the WL to participate in the daily raising of the flags. (It's based on availability.)
Hopefully, the family boat plan will still be in effect. For a $200.00 fee, up to 5 members in your party can enjoy unlimited use of the watercraft.
There are also complimentary tours that you can take.
In the VWL, there's a health club, and the Iron Spike Room.
Adding on at the VWL was one of the best decisions that we've made!
