How many rooms with a shared balcony are there, and how many SV CL rooms are there? I knew I was going to get people with this response, and it is a reasonable one, but the price difference to a GV room is quite a bit and this trip started as an extra, "cheaper" stay at POR on a BB so we have to draw the line somewhere with price. Now we're staying deluxe and getting APs again. Any other CL and view except the WL (which I like, and we considered, but after reading about the construction going on we nixed that) was a lot more money, so this is what we decided on. I guess I'm willing to gamble, and might even be willing to do a dreaded room switch if we did get a shared balcony but could switch the next day. I just can't get over the idea that someone else could be out on our balcony, and I certainly don't want to feel like I'm trying to avoid looking into someone else's room or thinking that I might be disturbing them. A private balcony is supposed to be one of the perks of not staying value or moderate! I know my DH and I, and we likely would't go onto the balcony if someone else were out there, so knowing our luck we would get a large group that took up all of the other rooms and used it as their own personal shared balcony. Plus, we would have to worry about the kids disturbing the other rooms. Just something that does really bother me, but not enough to spend literally hundreds more to avoid the chance. But thanks for the input, food for thought. We could consider dropping the CL, the GV rooms at the BW and the YC were reasonable.
I want to say maybe three rooms? You could email the IPO and ask. It's so not like what you are imagining. The space is very large and rounded.

It's not the CL floor, but very similar set up one floor down.
You can certainly speak normally and not disturb others. I wouldn't let my kids run the length of the balcony, but other than that they have a nice space in front of your room to enjoy. The view is out the front, parking lot, yes, but also very green, lots of gardens, nice. I wouldn't hesitate to book Standard CL at YC again, especially with a nice discount. These rooms are not a deal breaker for me.
