On board

couldn't find a picture, but we stayed at the Dolphin, which I do love, but we were in an end room near the peak and when we opened the curtian on the window we looked smack at a brick wall! they did move us and the bell man said he really never understood why they made it a guest room, it was a conference room for the longest time...

OKW Room 5020 ~ View -- to the left, someone else's room -- to the right, a 4 lane highway.

Oh my gosh, that's awful!!! I would have been asking for another room. Bless your hearts - I've got to give credit to all the folks who stayed in these rooms - you are all a whole lot more laid back then my family!

OKW Room 5020 ~ View -- to the left, someone else's room -- to the right, a 4 lane highway.

About the only thing missing is the air conditioning units that I've heard can be seen from many of the studios!

I had a lovely one at OKW also. Feb 2009
The room was at the point where the buses turn around to go back the other way. The noise was just wonderful in the early morning.

It was room 2116

We didn't even have to pay extra for this waterview. I wish I remember what the room number was. Country Building - 3rd floor farthest possible room at the back of the resort - with the free SWAMP view!

In the Values, you don't pay for view, you pay for location. (Usually the buildings near the front). So, you could have a parking lot view in a preferred building!!!!

Coming across this thread again reminded me of the horrible incident we had at AKL in 2002. Sorry no pictures of the rooms we were assigned but it was a nightmare!

We originally had a teacher discount room booked at the Swan for Easter week but when I got my first and only PIN CODE in the mail I quickly booked a savannah room at the AKL. Excitedly we checked in and were shown to Room 2212. I opened the drapes only to see the Sunset Savannah, yes, but also tall ugly doors to the air conditioning units, in other words, the entire wall that backs the Front Desk area. It was enormous and very distracting and immediately asked to be changed to another bunk bed room since we had two teenage boys with us. Little did I know that we probably would have been better off in this room which would have been quieter and closer to everything than where they moved us.

We ended up in 4548 which was quiet inside the room but we are balcony people and using the balcony was almost impossible due to all the cell phone conversations on balconies around us, day and night. Parents sent their screaming children out to the balcony to have temper tantrums. There were rows and rows of balconies around us; more than any I've seen at any other deluxe resort. Almost no animals came out ever and our savannah view included billboards and a 4 lane highway! Add in some CM problems and even at a discount rate the whole experience was horrible.

I wrote a carefully worded letter to Disney Guest Services and they responded appropriately for the situation but it took me another three years to convince DH to return to WDW!

Yikes! Never really considered making a view/building/room request before but thanks to these pics, it's now on my to do list. Thanks for sharing everyone.

What awful OKW views. When we stay at other DVC resorts, we request a room on the third floor or higher which usually helps. At least you can't reach out and touch the air conditioning unit.

Our bad view at AKL:

Our balcony looked straight into a drainage zone. You could see some of the savannah if you stood on a chair...

We were looking forward to staying at AKL, so this was disappointing. Hope next time is better!

 

[lissiesmum]

was this a standard view room I hope?

 

[luvayorkie]

It was - and, in fairness, it was partly my fault we ended up with this room. Our room was not ready when we checked in and this was the only one available. My husband and I wanted to go ahead and head out to the parks, so we went with it. This room was right above the front desk, facing the Sunset Savannah.

Was this a standard room at Jambo or Kidani?

 

[luvayorkie]

This was Jambo. The room was right off the lobby, just above the front desk.

Bell services can take all of your stuff so that you don't have to keep up with it. I know it might be a pain to take your purse into the parks. I either leave mine at home or lock it in the trunk of my car.

Great thread!!!!I have been lucky and have had ok views from my rooms (I haven't paid for good views though). I did get upgraded to a savanna room at AKL which after seeing these pics makes me happy I got soem pixie dust . Some of these views are absolutely horrible and to think they are in Deluxe resorts...I am not one to complain ever because lets face it Disney is the best place on earth, but I would have to if I got stuck looking at the top of a roof or a maintence crew!
God bless you all for putting up with those views!!!

This thread is great! The views...not so much

OMG I think that was our same room at OKW 3 years ago! (5020), wasn't such a pleasant welcome to DVC but we stayed with it and I am glad we did (we made up with it with our fireworks view from BWV this year) I am assuming it was a studio right?
