Is there no small freezer section on the refrigerator? I like to freeze bottles of water before going to the parks.

No, there isn't a freezer compartment. Perhaps if you filled-up the ice bucket and put a couple of bottles in them in the fridge they'd be colder.

Our fridge (last month) had a very small freezer compartment. It held 2 bottles.

For those of you who have stayed MK view from both Bay Lake Tower and the CR main building...is there one building that has better views over another? If a 4/3 deal comes out for next year, I may change my current ressie and go all out and book a MK view at the CR...I like the idea of BLT because it has a zero entry pool...one of the reasons my DD loved the Poly last year because even though she can't swim yet, she can still walk around and not need a lifejacket and mom all over her! This may be our last "big" trip to WDW so I want to get a great room with the best MK view possible. TIA for your help

Also, I'm wondering how crowded the monorail gets inside the CR now that BLT has opened. I know it always seemed busy on our way through to the Poly, and wondered if you have to wait a little longer with so many people boarding from two different buildings???

If you don't get a response from the CR thread, you might want to post this to the BLT thread or even to the Resorts forum.

Thank you for this! I'm trying to show my DD to persuade her away from the Poly....it's a tough sell...she loved it so much! But if she can see some pretty fireworks from our room, that might just trump fireworks from the beach! You can hear the Wishes music from your tv set right?

Yes, the Wishes soundtrack is played on the TV and in the club level lounge you can watch/hear it.

It's not too easy to find since it's not a very active thread, but here it is:

I'm here right now.
We arrived Monday morning and are staying in BLT. The kiddie splash area CR is open. I have not experienced any lines at the food court or monorail. The CM have all been very nice and our room is clean. We are enjoying our stay here very much. The only thing that I was surprised with is how much noise I can hear from the MK. We have a view of Bay Lake and I can hear Wishes music & narration as clear as day in my room with the balcony room door closed. It doesn't bother me though because it's Disney noise!!!

does anyone have any nighttime MK view pictures from their balcony they could post? I know I've seen some fireworks pictures here and there, but I can't seem to find them in all of the pics I've looked through. I'd love to see fireworks or the MK all lit up at night. Still trying to get a feel of what it would be like to have that view TIA for your help!

We never used ME to get to our resort...we have always used car service. Can you tell me if it takes too long? How many stops does the bus take and is CR thefirst or last resort to be drop off? Thank you
