Balconies are better with beverages!
Taking our bags ourself was so quick and easy. The uber was cheap enough. We ran to MK in the morning then back at 10;45am. We finished packing a few things then walked out to lobby. Dd ordered it while we walked and it was there within 30 seconds after we got outside. I think she did the bigger vehicle since we had 3 large bags.Great pics trishadono - thanks so much! We're doing the same split in August - Polynesian first, then Contemporary. I'm already finding it hard to work - just dreaming about the trip

EWP fan? It's nice that poly is 1st and MK last. I could see the 10:35 MK one from my CR balcony. That worked great since we were back by then.
HEA was good from both resorts too, yet different for each.
Hope you all have a great trip!
is there a kiddie pool or just a kiddie play area at CR?
Are there really Atrium CL rooms with standard view where you can see MK fireworks?
Hi everyone, I'm really enjoying this thread but definitely a LOT to wade through. I just booked a last-minute trip to WDW and I will be staying at the Contemporary (but only got the garden wing...would love the tower). But I'm still thrilled. Last few trips have been offsite, which is great, but wanted to try something different and it may be my last trip for a LONG time. Definitely last trip for my parents. It's sort of nostalgic. In 1975, my parents took me to Disney for the first time. I was 12 and there was only the MK, the Contemporary, and the Polynesian. I imagine the Shades of Green must have been the Garden Inn or whatever it was called at that time. Anyway, I am SOOO excited. We are driving down on 7/26 from Virginia and going straight through. I will stay two nights at the Drury Inn so that we can do a day at Universal and then on the morning of the 28th, I'm going to take my bags over to the CR, pick up my dad's ECV, and then head over to the MK for check in and spend the next 5 days there. I think I got a really good rate using a military discount that you can all call for. I got a rate of $344 per night which includes tax.
So if anyone has any tips or great things to tell me about Garden View rooms, please chime in. I'm wading through this thread but not finding as many posts on it as I wish there were. Also trying to read up on the refillable mugs and dining plan. On one of my rooms I booked a dining plan to try out. As for the mugs, I'm not much of a drinker so probably won't use it much but do they really have "hot tea" made to put in them. I am reading that its available and that's my morning beverage!
Thanks! Some sites were a little confusing on that point. Thanks for clearing it up.No, they all face Bay Lake which is a great view IMO but you can’t see the MK fireworks. It’s a super easy walk to the lounge with the same view of the MK fireworks as any of the MK view rooms have, though. I actually prefer the SV here, since it is so amazing and you get the MK view from the lounge.
