I have an elevator question I am hoping someone can answer. I realize that the south wing construction may end up changing this, but assuming they keep the halls and elevator access the same:
(pre-construction) there are three elevators in the lobby area, near to the Mercantile store. Do these elevators allow access to the south wing (ie not just to the lobby view rooms) ??
The reason I am asking: Our last stay at WL we were in a courtyard view room (facing the villas) in the south wing, on the 2nd floor (same level as the lobby). To enter that room area, you come through an entrance that is off the hall that goes from the lobby to the covered walkway to the villas and the buses. The problem is, the designated smoking area is just outside the exterior door there and the smoke drifts inside -- at different times in the day it is worse than others. So, that hallway from the lobby would be smoke-filled [sometime as far as the totem pole in front of the mercantile, though usually not quite that far], as would the first stretch of the hallway to the rooms. We would have to hold our breath and walk quickly to get far enough down the rooms hall that the infiltrating smoke was not a problem. I would like to avoid this issue with our next stay, and because we are thinking of CCV, would like to know about elevator access to higher floors. I realize most people probably wouldn't even notice the issue, but as someone highly sensitive to smoke we did and it detracted from our stay.
Thank you !
