Hello all! My first time here, so I hope I am doing this right! I need some help from you.
We are celebrating our 20-year anniversary this year - and our 15th year in a row going to Disney! We wanted it to be special, so we decided to stay in the main tower of the Contemporary. We have stayed at the Contemporary before, but stayed in the garden wing. Due to our anniversary, we decided to splurge to stay in the main building - shorter walk to the monorail, restaurants, etc. We are staying for 9 nights and that can get a little pricey, so we opted for the Bay Lake view to save a little money. Would love to stay on the Theme Park side to watch the fireworks out my room window (you can do that, right?), but we just can't afford the extra $500. We are going in the 2nd week in September, so I am assuming the crowds will be low. We usually go the first week, but have noticed the past few years that others are catching on and it has been more crowded each year, so we are trying the 2nd week this year. A little background for you.
Anyway, we have never stayed in the main building, and in the past when we requested a King bed, we never get one because the by the time we check in, they are all out. And this year we won't be getting there until midnight, so I know there won't be one available, so I am trying their "online check-in" now. And it gives me these room/amenity choices, but I don't know what to choose because I am not sure what they really are - I can choose two:
Balcony
Upper Floor
Odd Room Number
Ground Floor
Near Transportation
Patio
Which is better? A Balcony or a Patio? Or do some of the rooms not even have either one?
Which is better? Upper floor or Ground floor? What are the differences? I do not really know the building, so not sure if one is better.
Does being Near Transportation mean the monorail?
What is better about an Odd Room Number?
Can anyone help me understand these "amenities?" Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance!
