I agree. I booked CR, which is still more money but not as bad as what's availalbe at GF. Is CR not an option for you? I know that you are looking into it (Facebook).
Ah you've figured out who I am? LOL....no it is, I just don't know if I like it. There seems to be no theming and people complain about it. I guess people complain about everything though. I hate to say it, but when it comes to the more expensive hotels, it seems like the whiners come out it full force.
But that's certainly not us. We just want a nice hotel not overrun with construction.
But with everything else I have going on (med school), this is the one thing I was looking forward to so the fact that it's been screwed up is causing me more stress.
We actually love CR - but I do know the Contemporary theming is not for everyone. I like the "clean look" of contemporary style. You are right, there will be people who complain about every resort, but CR/BLT has served us well! Good luck!

I really enjoyed the contemporary when we stayed there last year! It was a tad on the noisy side but the bay lake view is beautiful and relaxing We were directly over Chef Mickeys though so maybe a room further away wouldn't be as noisy.

Can you tell me some of the good things about it? We would be doing a garden wing room. Not sure if you were aware of this but my husband is blind so being in close proximity to things is an issue. I was told the wing is only a 5 min walk to the main building.

How high a floor should I request to avoid this? I'm a VERY light sleeper--even use earplugs every night at home.
Thanks!!!
I really enjoyed my stays at the Contemporary and I think I liked my stay in the Garden Wing better than in the tower. I was able to park my car right outside my room in a lot around the back of the tower. My room was right above the pool with a great view of the pool and the lake. I like not having to walk through a lobby dripping from the pool. Walking into the tower to get food was quicker than when I had to wait for an elevator when I was in my tower room. If it took more than 2 minutes for me to walk from my room in the Garden wing to the main building then I must have had an anchor tied to me. I would go back to the Contemporary over the Grand Floridian or the Wilderness Lodge personally.

Request a room on the south end of the building opposite from Chef Mickey's.
I think you just need to request the opposite side of the building...WDWKOOK should be able to help with this one. I learned a ton about the CR over on that thread before we went last year. If your a light sleeper then the garden wing would probably be a better fit and would be cheaper, plus the laundromat is over there(which is a plus!) I loved being at a monorail resort since we spent most of our time at MK anyways...it's the only thing I think I might miss being at WL, but looking forward to the boat rides is helping with that
That is helpful...and I know you would not lead me the wrong way I will look into it a little more later. My husband is fine with the walk - I'm the one worried he is going to get lost.
Mamabear - I remember seeing the list. I will have to go look again.
Tikiman - we still want to head to Poly for our next trip (2015) but I know it's too early to know about the construction.

This may be silly question, but will the waterfall be affected by the pool refurb?
Thanks
