Yep Irv was at Poly! I have seen him a few times since reopening at GF , he is fun!
I haven’t even changed that one lolThe good news is if nothing else is free you can't keep changing resorts
No Mickey bars at BWI, but you get fresh Mickey waffles on Sunday so it’s a give and take. The walk to the rooms isn’t horrible, and no further from the pool than most deluxe resort rooms (aside from Poly and GF which are like right next to the pool). There was a family there last week who were locals doing a split stay, spent most of their time at the pool, and they were loving it.
Oh ok. My dates aren't flexible.
Just got another CL night!!! The following day popped up! I’m beyond excited right now!!
Reminder to y'all the Disney Visa discount is from 8/28-9/19 with random availability. The 1 bedroom tpv suite at CR is discounted more than usual for my dates. However we are sticking with Poly gv cl because I miss it.
I saw this as well and wanted to report that I had it applied to my early August BWI CL reservation as it was a better deal than the Disney+ discount. The AP discount was 30% versus 25% for Disney+.
That’s my favorite type of room, I stayed in one in the turrets on the top floor on my first solo trip in 2018, there’s just nothing like them
. It’s been a few years, but I believe I was in room 4021, and could see fireworks from both MK and Epcot from my room. I went and got desserts from the lounge, went back to my room, put on my robe, and just moved a chair from one side of the room to the other to chill and watch them. Big walk in closet (I mean, not HUGE, but I’ve never had a closet like that in a hotel room), nice little coffee bar area, and the only wall that shares with another room is the closet so it’s pretty quiet from other guests. In the main part of the room the windows are big and span about 3/4 of the room. I have pictures but they are all coming in sideways, so if I can fix that I’ll share them for you.
There are 2 types of those . There are 6 of the octagon rooms posters just talked about. However they tend to save these rooms for special occasion guests and usually you get put put on the 2nd floor section. Those are 4201-09. 09 is closest to the elevator and has a longer balcony,. These rooms look exactly like the king rooms throughout the resort with the exception of a slightly larger, garden tub.
My friends old roommate used to be a room assigner and said they tried to keep those 2nd floor rooms for “certain types of guests”, which is why she called them the honeymoon rooms (won’t disturb as many guests down there, as she said). If they didn’t have any of those they’d just fill them up with other couples/guests. She told me when making my room request to put anything down that would signal I didn’t want to be on the second floor. Like putting “celebrating anniversary, would love a special view with a wonderful view” or what I did “I am traveling alone and don’t feel comfortable being so far away from the lounge and having to travel so far to the lounge alone”. There was a family of 3 in the room below me on the 4th floor, woman said she always gets out in the same room when she books that category but never makes a room request. Who even knows sometimes, but I think it never hurts with those rooms to make the room request because it might trump just randomness in the room selection.
We were once pixie dusted to this room on a one night stay, that room is simply amazing!
You will have to use a MagicBand to open the door to the lounge and then you can check in up there.
Thank you!
