We have the opposite trip planned, although we're not staying CL at the BC (only SV available on the magical deal). Where were you located at the WL? We have a deluxe room booked and I admit I'm a bit leery about the potential for construction. I know most of it hasn't started, but there are folks who've reported hearing hammering at the resort and the WL CMs are denying that anything is taking place. We requested a courtyard view room. Hoping that keeps us away from whatever might be going on by the villa side of things.
Well...I will start out saying the room size is great. I have 2 adult kids so it was nice for the extra room and we do fine in a standard room so the extra room was a bonus. The room we got was on the north side, 2nd floor. The 3 rooms being renovated are on the south side. When we got the room assignment I mentioned the construction because I didn't know where the room was located. The CM did adamantly deny construction at the resort. She also said there were no rooms you could see fireworks when I commented to my son no watching the fireworks from a 2nd floor room. She also told me no deluxes were courtyard. I told her I had read some of the rooms could see fireworks and she told me not to believe everything you read on the internet! DH told her I saw it on this site and she got quiet (he knew I had seen pictures). Anyway, if you get the end deluxe on the 2nd floor you will have a balcony that is enclosed by a stone wall that is almost 4 ft high. There is barely room to sit without your knees or feet touching the wall or if turned the other way the door. The good part is that the exit door is right outside your door and you can get to the pool about 1 minute and the boat in about 3-4 minutes. The resort is very nice and we did have good interaction with 1 CL CM and a front desk CM also. I sincerely hope you get a room you really like there. I had really wanted to like it but sometimes things don't go as planned!
We've also got a magical deal for December so that's why no CL for us either. Oh well, there's always the next trip!
