Why does everyone want CRV DVC?

[graygables]

On a similar topic of diapers on the monorial...

This past trip my youngest saw a woman rinsing out her baby's butt in the sink in the women's room that had had a blow out.

It was terribly disturbing to my daughter cause for the rest of the trip she didn't want to wash her hands in the sink cause babies' butts had been in there.

I had an acquaintance who refused to let her DD use the "filthy toilets" in ANY public restroom and would hold her over the sink to let her go wee-wee there. This lasted until the girl was too big to be held comfortably. This is why I carry anti-bac gel and wipes and skip the restroom sinks...

Sounds like the woman we saw at the drinking fountain who was rinsing & splashing her chest and armpits.

Yes, I will pay $4 for bottled water after seeing that.

oh dear -I am going next month - okay add bottled water to the list. I already do anti-bac gel - but some scientist are saying they don't work. (well I think they certainly did for me).

so it is back to the wipes with soap.

oh this is awfully - don't people have sense anymore.

just my opinion. i have 3 resort memberships, each for a different reason.

saratogo, in case you have all adults going dtd can be lots of fun (for kids too)

bwv, for beautiful walks to epcot and mgm which we all love, not to mention the restaurants at both of those parks.

akv, for the extreme beauty of nature, quite and the animals and boma,

crv would complete my collection as it would provide the great restaurants to be found in that area, view of mk and maybe even the castle, the monorail or boat service to mk. i found when staying at the poly that the boat or monorail to mk made it possible to run back at the end of the day for one more ride or for the kids to find that special t-shirt or pin before leaving for home. that is actually much faster than the walk to epcot or mgm.

has anyone heard anymore about a real venture in that direction?

Exactly. Not to mention the monorail, thats a huge plus! I've always been fascinated with the Contemporary every since I was a child. Now there is an excuse for me to stay there many times in a row! :

FYI, there is no longer boat service from the CR to MK, even though the maps still show it. Still a good location tho - it's a pretty easy walk and you can always take the monorail otherwise.

Does she not bathe in any tubs except your own, either? The sinks are made of impervious material - as long as the sink was washed out (and/or you are washing your hands) with soap and hot water I don't get the problem. IMO, it is actually more sanitary than trying to clean the baby's bottom with baby wipes while on the changing tables that are textured plastic. Plus, even if the mother/caretaker didn't do the right thing, the rest rooms are cleaned on a regular cycle by Disney employees.

Now, public water fountains - talk about a bacterial breeding ground, even without the armpit splashing - unless they too are being wiped down on a regular basis.

The problem with the antibacterial soaps and lotions is that our bodies build up resistance to them eventually reducing their effectiveness and contributing to the development of "super germs".

You have got to be kidding me! She is a little girl and saw a woman rinsing out a baby's butt in the sink. She thought it was gross, I posted this cause it was funny. I didn't post it to get a lecture. A mom has gotta do what she has gotta do. Babies have blow outs.

, the rest rooms are cleaned on a regular cycle by Disney employees.

Disney is now hiring out this function. so the rest rooms are not nearly as clean as they use to be.

this was a big mistake on Disney part and I hope before someone is hurt they realize it.

the rest room at Epcot was dirty, over crowded, water everywhere and the person who should have been cleaning it was standing outside - waiting - not sure for what?

I'm so sorry! Didn't mean to lecture re: your daughter and I probably should not have quoted your post as I was really responding to some of the reactions (to your post).

Monorail schmonorail. It'll be a further walk from CRV UPSTAIRS to the station and then back down from the station (GF side) to the entrance to MK (on the CR side) than the hop, skip, and jump right to the front gate from the villas!!! I've only recently stayed in that north wing that'll go away last Fall but it was so sweet being able to walk right to the gate pushing DD3 in her stroller instead of to the lobby, wait on the elevator, get it on the monorail, rush off the monorail down the ramp....

As for theming, it is, well, Contemporary. When it was built it was styled to be a futuristic looking place with clean lines, brushed metal, angles, etc. But since we're all living in the future compared to the 70s, it's just plain to us, especially since every kid on the block has a flying car and jet pack

Yes, but what about the WEDway (TTA) extension into the new building featuring the CRV-only exclusive entrance into Tomorrowland? How much more fun would that be?

Ahhhh, that would be awesome. Like the International Gateway at EPCOT. Be an unfair sneak right to Space Mountain at rope drop.

I'll ride Omega, you ride Alpha...ready, set, go!

The current CR does not appeal to me, but if DVC did something attractive there with interesting CS and TS dining options (sorry, but Chef Mickey's is like one of the levels of Dante's Inferno to me), and a nice pool area, I'd be tempted by the location.

I am not a monorail fan, I've been trapped in too many stinky monorail cars. I do however, like the option of walking to the MK.

Don't forget or under-estimate that you can also take the monorail to TTS then to Epcot. That is also where the appeal is to my boys who are monorail fanatics. I would prefer to walk to MK from CR also.

 

[mb168]

That one I'd have to think about. Currently if we are intending on spending most time at EPCOT, we stay at BCV and use the International Gateway, any other time we just drive there. A monorail ride though to EPCOT virtually makes it "next door" and MK is next door.

Ok, where do I sign, forget AKV.

Okay, I would stay for location, but would probably not buy. IMHO-I think Disney should put people movers-no-not the buses-the one the goes around space mountain and such to ALL the resorts! Right to the front door! As I get older, I start out okay in the mornings to the parks, but on the way back, I can barely step onto the bus, never mind walk back to my room at the resort! LOL- Maybe they will come up with transporters you can step into and go right to your room-yes-as in Star Trek! Now that would be cool!
