I have finally resized the pictures from our trip last month. We stayed in deluxe room 4003 and really enjoyed it. This room turned into a last minute splurge when we had to change our trip dates with two weeks notice. We had originally booked this trip back in October 2017 with the bounce back room only offer. We had a nice courtyard view room with a 30% discount for our trip dates Sept 19 to 23rd. But we had to change our trip dates to one week earlier and the only room available with a discount was a deluxe room with a 35% off passholder discount. DH really wanted to stay club level and using Disney math in which a Nature view room at rack rate plus lower airfare for the new dates made the switch to a deluxe room worth the upgrade.
My only concern with the deluxe rooms was not the distance to the Old Faithful Club. We knew that we would use the stairs to go to the boats, pools or Geyser Point and we could stop at the lounge before or after using the buses. But I was worried about what floor we would be on. There are only ten deluxe rooms, two each on floors 1 to 5, and I didn't want a room on the ground floor or second floor. Those rooms have a small balcony because of the stone structure on the lower floors of the resort. So I requested third floor or higher, hoping for the best. I could not have been more pleased with our fourth floor room. There are plenty of trees surrounding this end of the resort, but I could see the lake through the trees. I loved watching the sunrise in the mornings from the balcony and watch people walking to and from the boat dock at all times of the day. It was really a nice room.
Room 4003 -
This is the living room. There is a full size closet on your left and the bathroom is on the right. This is a sofa bed.
There is a wet bar that has the refrigerator and coffee maker. Those double doors lead to the bedroom. The glass is smoked and lets in some light.
This room had a connecting door to a regular room next door. My husband hit his head on the ceiling light over the desk at least twice a day.
There were a lot of windows in this fourth floor room and every day I would open all the shades and every night the turn down service would close them again. I really liked all of these little windows.
There was a tree frog on the big window one morning when I opened the shade. It scared the life out of me! My husband slept on this side of the room and he could hear the boat horns. There weren't quite as loud on my side, plus I find the sound relaxing so they didn't bother me. We were also very close to the geyser, when started going off just before 7 am. You couldn't see it very well through the trees, but you sure could hear it.
