We just returned from 7 nights at WVL, our 3rd DVC property stay, (BCV and SSR before). We had a great week, including getting to know Ranger Stan, a wonderful experience. We took his informative tour and got a chance to just chat about WL with him....
Now, the "constructive" criticism........... We were assigned room 5526, which the CSR said, had a "wonderful garden view." It turns out that since it was the top (5th) floor, the balcony is actually a cutout of the roof, thus the "view" while sitting there was just looking at wood!. We really enjoyed our balconies in the other 2 resorts (morning coffee, evening wine etc.), so this was a major disappointment. I did call to request a room change, but if they could change, (there were no rooms available for the 7 nights), it would be a $30 charge. So we wound up standing out there to see anything, and the "wonderful garden view" was actually looking at the bus stop thru the trees........ If we had known about these cutout balconies, we would have requested any floor but the 5th. Maybe this should be mentioned at check in that you get obstructed view balconies in that room?
It did NOT take away from a wonderful stay, and we'd do it again..........
