Who can tell me about WL Concierge?

[ubetiski]

We are thinking about changing our ressies to WL Concierge. Can anyone tell me about these rooms? I have tried to do a search but it has been not working in the past few days. I know they are located on the 7th floor. But are they all in the main building? What are the views like? Is there any chance of getting a parking lot view? We have never stayed in concierge before. We will be staying at BCV for 5 nights right before this trip so we may actually try to relax during the end of our trip at the resort for a change. Any help would be appreciated.

Below was our post in the Restaurant forum about the GF & WL Concierge experiences. It was food oriented-being in the resto board- but does have some further info.

We stayed in 7084. It and its adjacent 7085 are honey moon rooms, with spectacular views of the MK fireworks. Couldn't see Cinderella Castle, but could see the GF, the CR and the tip of Space Mountain through the trees. I believe all Conceierge rooms are on the 7th floor of the main lodge building.

A note About the Grand Floridian and Wilderness Lodge oncierge and their food offerings:
We used these as our breakfasts and for just very light midday snacks. Since we were stuffing ourselves in the afternoons and evenings at full-service restaurants, we found that they were best used in this manner. The GF had a couple pastries and a nice fruit selection in the morning. In the evening, they would present a selection of domestic wines (some would go very fast) and a few tasty appetizers- roast beef slices, cheese assortment, vegetable sushi, wraps of Thai noodles & shrimp w/ a peanut sauce, brownies and other small sweet snacks. Throughout the day we might stop in for some bottled water or glass of juice. Some of our most favorite moments of the entire trip (except for the wedding itself ) were looking out the big bay windows of the
4th floor onto the GF grounds, having a light glass of wine and
listening to the orchestra or pianist play. It was so sublime-
decadent yet relaxed; understated in its grandness; not at all
pretentious but with a certain air of "if only we could live like
this!". Words can't describe how happy we felt in those surroundings as they typify a most comforting environment to us.
The Wilderness Lodge Concierge is a bit of a contrast. As one would expect the surroundings are a bit more minimal in their creature comforts. They had no comparable relaxing view and it was almost as if the concierge setup was an afterthought once the lodge was constructed. The staff were just as friendly, if not more so and they took a very personal interest in what we had done/seen/planned for our stay. The food was, again, very light and not meant to replace a true meal. We often skipped the fruit for our breakfasts because they seemed less fresh and were often tossed together rather than as an assorted platter. They did have a nice juice service and offered some hot appetizers from Artist Point. But we were not impressed by these app offerings. I opted for some cheese or a pastry. We did get to have
cordials here one night, which we unfortunately missed during our GF stay. Another special moment was sipping these on our private balcony, watching the MK fireworks.
I fear we have been spoiled by this first trip at the Concierge level, and will now have to save up twice as long so we can continue the tradition. At the GF, we definitely agree it was worth it, assuming you can budget time for some relaxing moments. At the WL, it's harder to say- we're not sure we would return to the Lodge, but only because we now think of the Grand as our true home at Disney.
