Ha ha. You will have to wait.
We are in the Delta Lounge and the WiFi isn't great.

It appears we were the first on this forum to stay in a refurbished room and we also got a stunning view!
Overall I would rate the previous rooms as 25 out of 100. The current ones as 99 out of 100! They are fresh, have some lovely touches and above all else are modern. OK there are some snagging issues but I doubt many people would spot them. For example:- Over spray on some fittings from paint rollers Some missed paint around the kitchen units Grout could be better around some tiles. Sad to see that in 4+ weeks there is some damage already! Scratches on the wooden chest, marks on the walls etc.I suspect that is an industry wide problem though. Bath is fully enclosed when the doors are closed. That took some getting used to! Very strange there is no grab handle in the bath area. Bit silly and I lay money that they will put one in eventually. Nice touch, not plastic either but ceramic for durability. I make no comment on the disgusting dispenser things. We wont use them The shower is excellent. We liked the 2 options. All fittings are brushed steel. Nice mechanism on the loo roll holder. So brushed steel everywhere. Then brass handles! How weird. This lock button wont see Xmas! Very flimsy Kitchen area is nice. Tiles are good and we liked the cupboard doors. They should have tiled the sides as well though not just the back. Big mistake though. No up stand on the worktop. That mastic will be discoloured in weeks and will allow water in within the year. Cordless phone Nice touch, safety chain to stop the unit toppling onto a child This safe is so much better as it now sticks out whereas the old one was flush. Takes a lot more stuff. Set your own code. The light goes off after a minute or so. Rocker switches in the centre to allow fast changing for the lights and fan. Mrs Morrows patented hair clip device to pull the curtains together. They will hang better in the coming weeks. Lovely material The bed is ready made and is so easy to lower/push back on your own. Ignore the velour on the sofa looking bad that is the photo. The sofa is very firm but lovely quality. Looks like they were going to put a light there as that is a blanking cover over a socket. Ahh. Room illumination! This will drive nails into people. The double sockets in the kitchen and sink/dressing area are RCD devices. So there are 2 extremely bright LED lights in each one. They will drive you insane all night as they light up the whole room. But as with all RCD devices you can shut them off by pushing the test button. I did it every night and reactivated them in the morning again Dont forget or you will wonder why your coffee isn't brewing! This is the room thermostat.Also very bright but you have to live with that as if you cover it the temps will rocket. So all in all well done Disney. Probably the best rooms on property for the time being. Some final points to note:- The flooring is vinyl not laminate. Nice and warm underfoot. If your Wife has long hair you will have to have the Hoover out every day! There are 10 USB ports so brilliant for charging The WiFi was ok but it failed one day so I got the IT Guys out. Fixed it in 5 mins flat. If any issues call them as they are still putting boosters in. Tons of drawers to use 6 in the unit 2 in the leather seat 4 in the 2 x bedside cabinets Massive capacity in the cantilevered box. The view on the first morning. Edited at 09:35 AM. |

Great photos some of those fittings look like the ones in the refurbished rooms at Pop Century. Lovely view to wake up to.
