Well, we are checked in,but our favorite room,I suspect,is being used as the CM Lounge,as it is next to the temporary OFC.
The new OFC will be located back in the area of the old OFC,but on a much grander,nicer scale,or so we're told.
I didn't bother to take pics of the lobby,because it hasn't changed from the last lobby pics that were taken. But I did take pics of the OFC. I like having before and after pics. I'll just put these next to the ones of the former Club Lounge,ending with the new Lounge next year. This is actually our second day at WDW,since we spent yesterday at Epcot and Disney Springs,while staying at the Radisson down the road. I'll do a trip report on our last two days so far in a separate post.
As you can see with the first photo, The rooms across from us are totally empty. We can see through them to the other side. For the OFC, the coffee and tea are set up in the hall. I didn't get a close up of the food because we showed up late and most of the plates were empty. But there were about 8 different offerings available. The chef is standing off to the right. She stopped by to see how things were going,get opinions,etc. the wine and beer are available,but you have to ask for it. There is always a CM in the room,sometimes two,so you can have what you want immediately.
The views are beautiful, but I wish we could sit out on the balcony. This will be our first visit to WL without the direct Bay view we've become accustomed to. Our view is still very nice,as you can see- just a little lean to the left to see the water, but not quite the same. Perhaps we'll get our new favorite room back next year after the OFC moves, Rm 7035. We've lost our first favorite room forever,7127, because of the re- model. But we're very happy to be here!!!!
Last month, I went to the Disney floral/ gifts website and ordered a gift for DH to be delivered to the room. We got into the room late in the day, 4pm,(more on that in my report), so I expected it to be there already,but it wasn't. We ran into an ENORMOUS issue with billing,so in the few minutes we left the room at 6:30pm to fix the issue,it was delivered. It was a yellow insulated backpack with cookies,an Italian beer,snacks and a Hidden Mickeys Book. I forgot to take a picture- let's see if I can do that while still posting here- this is so very technical for me. Okay,it didn't work.....I 'll post pics of the gift in my next post.
