Where are Woods View rooms at WL?

[disneymom1]

I have a Woods View room reserved at WL. I would like a room in a quiet area not too far from the lobby if possible.

On the north side of the buliding, where is the break between the Woods View rooms and the Standard View rooms? Are there any Woods View rooms that open to the lobby above Whispering Canyon or are those rooms all Standard View?

On the south side of the building, I understand that there are all 3 views. Where is the break between the Woods View rooms and the standard view rooms on this side? Are there any Woods View rooms that open to the lobby above the registration desk or are those rooms all Standard View? Where is the break between the Woods View rooms and the Courtyard View rooms.

Thanks for any advice.

The only time we were actually in a woods view room (now called a lodge view) we were facing the otter pond. We were the last woods view on the hall, so we were almost to the loading dock. If we looked to the left, the next balconey was a standard view. There was no chance of having a choice of rooms since we were there in mid July and the resort was at capacity. This resort also does not take fax requests. Before and after last July's trip we have had woods view rooms, but have always been complimentary upgraded to courtyard view rooms. One was overlooking the main pool (best room ever), and the other 2 were overlooking the villa pool (also now considered courtyard view--use to be woods view before the villas). I believe the standard rooms overlook the loading dock and the parking lot. We were booked there for this July also, but after last July we decided not to stay at the WL in the summer anymore (fall and winter are better times). Last July trying to use the pool was near impossible. Never once in my 10 days did I ever find a chair or lounge at the main pool, unless I was there before lunch. My grandson never used the mainpool the entire time. We/he used the quiet pool the entire trip. The mainpool at the WL is just too small since the addition of the villas. So we switched our ressie to the Beach Club for July this year. We do enjoy staying at the WL during our January trips!
