Don’t be like us and go gaga over the enormous room. Act cool! Lol

Remember you can use the BLT pools and the CR pools, that’s a really nice feature about staying there.

I forgot about that, thanks! It's a theme park view room, too. I am not sure I'm capable of acting cool about it!

I got my room assignment and it was a studio at BLT (we had a garden wing room booked at CR). I called because we need two regular beds (we don't book DVC rooms because of this need) and they put us in a 2 bedroom villa.

Awesome! We only book 2 beds too . Pullouts are hard on the back .

So, we booked garden wing garden view and I just got my room assignment -- they're putting us in a 2 bedroom at BLT. Is there something going on with the garden wing because that's an insane upgrade.

There was an issue last week with the Garden wing concerning the water. Guests were notified that the water would be off for a period 1 day. I believe it was last Thursday.

Disney also moved may other guest the the CR due to several other resorts being closed. They also have quite an abundance of DVC rooms available due to the 60 day booking window.

This is a silly question but I just wanted to confirm: the walkway from BLT/CR to MK is open now, right?

Yep, it’s open.

 

[andyman8]

Yep, it’s open.

Thank you!

 

[GADisneyDad14]

Thank you!

I should add, the only small bit of uncertainty I encountered while there (opening week) was what time it opened. There was a scroll on the resort TV channel saying the walkway would open at 8:30am (not sure if it is still there). We used it one morning before 8:30, and another morning I drove out of BLT around the same time and it didn’t look like the temp check tent (which is set up just before the recently completed permanent security structure) was staffed yet and a line of guests had formed. There seemed to be some confusion if you asked BLT CMs about what time it opened, perhaps not surprisingly.

Long way of saying YMMV with exactly when it opens in the AM.

Last summer I reserved a Garden Wing room at a steeply discounted convention rate, and I when I went to check in, I was given a tower room (lake view) instead. CM said nothing about me getting an upgrade. he just gave me the room number and said I was on the 5th flloor. It was quite weird, but I wasn't going to complain.

We booked a GW king room and checked in on Wednesday. Got our room, and a few hours later we were told of the water outage and offered to move. They tried to put us in a BLT studio but we needed more room, so we also ended up in a BLT 2-br lake view, complimentary. Never would have stayed there otherwise. It felt huge lol. Enjoy!

Can you mobile order at the Sand Bar?
Is there servers walking around the pool to take food orders like SAB?

 

[Llama mama]

Are some items still grab and go at the Contempo Cafe or is it 100% mobile order?

100% mobile. You can get grab and go items in the gift shop (ice cream, donuts, drinks, that kind of thing)

Sorry about the stupid question , but I have not stayed at CR since 1974. At what point would the walkway from CR to MK be closed? We are belly up RD peeps. I was wondering where we wait for the walkway to open.

 

[trishadono]

Has anyone who has been in the last week or two gone to Epcot via bus at opening? What was your experience? We are debating what time to head there. We have ECVs also, so we are doubly confused as to how it will work since the social distancing lines have been added.

I have a CR trip soon. You can take the bus from CR OR ride your ECV to MK and take a bus to 1st to arrive YC, BC, BWI then go in Epcot from there. My thinking is few people will be leaving and the buses will be less crowded.

However, weather always comes into play. Rain or extreme heat that day will make this a less preferred way.

Dd and I often try different ways to get places. It’s kinda fun to mix it up.
