Are the refurbishments just for converting to the Royal Guest Rooms or is it also making the standard rooms nicer in any way? I guess we are trying to decide for our trip in June if we should ask upon arrival for only buildings that have gone through the refurb if we are not staying in a Royal Guest Room. Will it matter?
Yes. The standard rooms in both the mansions and Alligator Bayou are receiving a complete makeover.So Alligator Bayou is getting some updates, just not the Royal treatment?![]()
Request a room in Building 14 of the Alligator Bayou section.
1. You're close to the bus stop.
2. You're extremely close to the lobby/food court
3. That building just came out of refurbishmet.
The only thing is that because of the layout of the bridges...it's a little bit more of a walk to Ol Man's Island, but that's still not far at all.
While I would agree that building 14 and 15 are the best, buildings 14, 15 and 18 are now "preferred" rooms. You can request them but unless you book a preferred room and pay the premium attached to that, the chances of you getting placed there are slim.
Follow the link in post just before yours.Does anyone have pictures of the refurbished rooms at Alligator Bayou?
My apologies. I thought Steve had both rooms in his link. You can see some pictures of Alligator Bayou about 1/3 of the way down the page.Magnolia Terrace is not Alligator Bayou. Was there another link once you follow the first link? The rooms may be the same i guess.:shrug:
I requested Magnolia bend. Is that a good area close to pool, main building, food etc?
i like the look of the magnolia bend rooms, plus i think all the renovations will be complete there by the time i go.
are the standard magnolia bend rooms still close enough to the food court/busses?
i have been trying to decide where to make a request and am still a little confused as to leave it and just hope for the best or just make a request!!
i have cfs/fms but i dont need a diasabled room, however i have been reading reviews on this resort and never realised it was so big. im not sure that after walking all day i could handle a long trek to my room, esp with a 3 yr old in tow :veryconfu
when booking my holiday the agent made a request for a royal room but that was last year before the prices came out so im pretty sure that wont be happening as im not too fussed about paying the extra for one.
id be grateful for any opinions you have to make my decision a little easier![]()
