I'm back...thinking of a split stay...CBR (pirate room) for 4 nights then CR (possibly CL?) for 3 nights.
LOL! Decisions...Decisions

That's what our CL stays last year and this year were on. We wouldn't do CL without it. Hoping to book CR Atrium CL for next August with 40% off.
The Tower Club level on the 14th floor is mostly suites and I've never seen a discount for even the non-suite rooms. It is much less crowded up there which is an advantage. Also, if you book Tower Club, you have access to both CL lounges. Most guests who don't need a suite book Atrium Club.Which is best club level at CR, is it worth it for two young kids? I am thinking it might be good for grandparents.
We're not sure yet, but hopefully another trip to WDW is in our not-too-distant future!

Sadly I think we have seen the last of 40% RO discounts... There has been not one 40 % GP or personal PIN this yr..

I know!! And if I do the split, do I just do Garden Wing, a Tower room (TPV is available) or CL (BLV)??? ACK!! I can't decide!
Playing with the numbers and it worked out the same price minus a few dollars for both free dining and room only discount?!? is that normal?!
We have only stayed at the poly and loved it which is part of why I am hesitant to stay elsewhere
We booked poly for 30% off this year and I know now it is only 20% off so if that is the case we will do a week straight at CR instead of split stay!
I just wanted to send a big THANK YOU to all the BLT and CR experts on this board. My family just finished a stay at BLT, and all the advice was really helpful in planning our first trip to WDW. The 1-BR villa was just right for our family of 5, the location was perfect, and having a washer/dryer handy was so convenient! I didn't think we would use the kitchen much, but we ended up ordering breakfast and snack foods delivered from Garden Grocer, and their service was excellent. Our kids also enjoyed doing some fun activities in the Community Hall, and there was never a long line at the pool's waterslide. We just wished we could've stayed longer. It was a great trip, and we can't wait to stay at BLT again!
With a TPV you can also see Expedition Everest in the far distance as well as Tower of Terror and the Sean and Dolphin. It's not like the closer images of the monorail and castle but still exciting. At least you can see them from 12th floor. It's like being on top of the world!!!

I am super excited!! I just got off the phone with my mil and she said we can use her points to try to get a place at BLT for our stay!!!
I know she will only be able to book at 7 months out because she is using another point system to do so. How hard will it be to get a 2 bedroom at that time for all of us to stay in??
I am pumped.

Kids usually love CL because they have access to little treats throughout the day and they have an amazing view of MK and Wishes every evening.
Last year, the military discount was renewed in August. I've really gotten used to that discount and wonder what will happen this year with it.
If you're not eligible for the mil. rate, the AP rates are the next best thing.
Sorry, military still gets it. I should have specified that's what we use.
Ahh! Nice when my mom goes with us we use the military discount!

pixietwin said:I've never stayed at the Contemporary but would like to go there early next year. Main thing I want to know is about the room -- do they offer a decent chair for sitting? Last time I went to Disney we stayed at Coronado Springs, and the one office like chair had literally no back support. It was HORRIBLE. One of those director type chairs with a flat leather sling across the back. I need a chair with back support as I have 3 herniated discs, spinal stenosis, MS and more problems. Anybody recently visited and can comment on any place to sit in the room. I cannot sit on a bed with a pillow behind my back either so that is a no go. Thanks

I just booked room only at BLT for 2/21 - 3/1!!! I did room only and kind of wanted to at the deposit but I'm really hoping for some kind of discount. We've always had a discount in feb so I guess we'll see. Of course I may have to tweak my dates a bit but I hope not!
