This was our first time staying at WBC, but will be returning in a few months to do another, longer stay. Our stay this time was 8 nights, and then we moved to another off property condo for three nights. We did this because we had first put a deposit on the other condo and simply stayed there for the number of nights the deposit would cover. We prefer WBC over the other, and have already started making arrangements for our next stay.
The grounds are beautiful and very well maintained. I saw staff working on the landscaping every day to keep it clean and looking so good. The pools, of which there are several, were all different and fun, with swimming, lazy rivers, slides and hot tubs. The walking path which extends all the way around the lake was always clean, and passed by all of the pools, a miniture golf course, fire pit, shuffleboard court and multiple outdoor grill/bars. Just beautiful.
The room we rented was a 2/2 on the 14th floor and it was just awesome. We chose a lake view, but from our balcony we could see Disney Hollywood Studios. It was really nice. Balcony had four chairs and two tables and was plenty big enough for our family to enjoy together.
The master had a large king size bed with two nightstands, a dresser with flat screen tv, and a closet.

The master had a large king size bed with two nightstands, a dresser with flat screen tv, and a closet. It was open to the one part of the bathroom, including the air flow tub, and one lavatory and counter. Adjacent to this was the bathroom, which included the water closet another lavatory and a walk-in shower. It was nice to have the two lavatories, with one outside the room with the water closet, but separated from the other lavatory.
The kitchen had a very large bar surface for which four people could easily sit, as well as a large six person dining table. The living room had a couch, two chairs and a coffee table, along with an entertainment console with flat screen tv. There was a short hall from the main door leading to the second bathroom, one lavatory, water closet and tub/shower, and the second bedroom, which had a closet, dresser wtih flat screen tv and two double beds. Outside this bedroom, in the short hallway was the washer/dryer.
Everything was clean and well maintained and they came and cleaned the condo once while we were there. The room was also very quite. We could not hear anyone on either side of us, but we could hear the suite above us when they slid their chairs on the hardwood floors. That was a presidential suite and had the upgraded floors. But they were pretty quite most of the time, so it really did not bother us.
The closeness to the parks was remarkable and could not be beat by any other property that was not a WDW property. We were not more than 10 min from any park by driving. Parking at the property was also very easy. There was surface parking and a parking garage, which we used several nights and helped keep the morning dew off the windshield, making those early morning drives to the parks easier than trying to use the wipers and still not seeing out the side windows.
Overall, for the price we paid, which was 1/6th that of any WDW property, we could not be happier, and like I indicated at the beginning, have already started the negotiations on our next stay.More
