These are NOT the rooms that I paid for! 3 Resorts in 10 days - Trivia Answers 9/3

[DisneyFreak06]

Thank you!! Yes, we are grateful!

I am so curious as to your D-land trip in 3 months - a Club 33 experience?? Wow!!! Are you a member or otherwise connected?

I wish I was a member! Then I would be visiting Disney a lot more often, as I'd have the money to buy annual passes, DVC and whatever else! Nope, on my meager teacher's salary, I go as often as I can though!

I am going to Club 33 for a Canadian Dis meet! It was through the Canadian forum. It will be so incredible!

 

[TeresaNJ]

Wowzer!!! That has to be the upgrade of all upgrades! I thought you were going to tell us they downgraded you, LOL! Good for you guys! First timer here reading your trip report, and I feel like I am reading a novel that I can't put down. Hurry up and write some more installments! Can't wait to read about the rest of your adventures!

 

[WDWaddictt]

I am joining in...

I am enjoying your TR, can't wait to read more.

Nice pixie dust... I would have been up at the desk just to make sure they didn't make a mistake. lol

 

[SAT887]

Wow! What a beautiful room!!! I don't know if I would have left it!! This was some fabulous pixie dust, I still need to watch your video when I'm not on my phone!

 

[MrsB1228]

WOW, what an amazing suite!!! I love how it appeared to be just a regular room when you walked in, and then when you stopped dead in the second doorway and gasped, I had tears in my eyes too. Pixie dust to the max!

I'm so happy for you and Em, the Disney gods were certainly smiling on you this trip!

 

[AvasMommy526]

Yay for the room reveal!!!! How amazingly awesome!! Pixie dust everywhere!! I have to say you and Em totally deserve it, you really love Disney and have a great appreciation for it and it's magic. And you girls just seem so sweet so I am happy you got to enjoy this treat

The room, not room, the house, suite, apartment lol....is of course beautiful, amazing views! Can't wait to see more

 

[emmysmommy]

Brenda...Wow... just... WOW.

That video was SUPER precious. Thank you for sharing that. O.. M... G. Watching your reaction and hearing Em in the background taping... I just loved it.

And all this time I assumed "NOT the rooms" was going to be a bad thing. Nice swerve there.

It just shows that Disney knows what they're doing when they choose who to upgrade. Beautiful!

Thanks Rob! I know, my TR title is a little misleading...psych! Yeah... wish I didn't sound so lame in the video. (Does anyone else hate their voice on videos?)

Wow love that view!!!

Thanks!

WOW!!! Just WOW. SCORE!!!!!!!

Hi luckylady! Disney did a SLAM DUNK on this one!

Brenda... your pictures look great and you guys look like you are having so much fun, I hope that when Jillian, my daughter, is Emilys age we still enjoy hanging out together

We are arriving on August 19th also and leaving the 28th, its our first longer than 5 days trip and we will be celebrating Jills 6th birthday.

Hi Gin. Oh, what a great way to celebrate your daughter's birthday! That is precious. Sorry but did you already say where you are staying?? (No worries if you don't feel comfortable sharing on a message board. ) We'll be at AKL first and then at YC starting on 8/20, then on to BLT.

Thanks again for reading!!

Nice! Yeah, I got the Premier pass as I was over in DLR March of last year, it was definitely incredible, but it seemed to not be as awesome of a place to go solo as WDW was for me, but it was still fantastic. Also, World of Color, I died.

Now, onto the update! I cannot wait to stay at Beach Club, and your suite is absolutely amazing!! I actually said ‘oh my god” out loud while watching the video, it just KEEPS GOING!! That is absolutely amazing, I feel like the sun room would be my favorite!!

I may have just browsed through your youtube channel a bit and love the vids with Ariel!! How awesome, also I’m glad you guys got to see Merida with the bears, they are so cute!!

Hi Katt! WOC is pretty amazing. They still have crazy long lines for the two shows a night.

Ha! My Youtube channel!! Tell me you didn't see my cartwheel video?? I should actually post it for a good laugh here!!!

I love that room. I'm so happy for you! It's awesome that you got such a big upgrade!!! I can't wait for some of that pixie dust to land in my way!!!!

And you just keep posting pictures! We don't care if you duplicate any!!

Hi Christen! Thanks! It was so random but awesome nonetheless!

Ok..... no one can complain if they've seen the same sofa 5 times!

That's some amazing pixie dust! Almost makes it hard to leave and go to the parks...almost!

Hi there Kristin! Thanks! Yeah, almost. We had to leave the room to look forward to coming back!

Subbing!!

Just found your TR this morning and all caught up...can't believe what an awesome upgrade you guys received!! The bathrooms alone...WOW!!

You seem like two sweet ladies who love Disney and deserve it cuz you REALLY appreciate it!!

Looking forward to more!!

Hi BellaBaby! Thank you for joining! Awww.. thanks for the kind comments. You are so sweet.

KristinAnne, I was going to say that, or something close. That suite would be worth staying in anywhere. Can't wait to see more pics. And seconds are fine will keep me from going backwards to see them again.

My daughter is 20 and had her first baby this year. I only get to Disney every 3 years or so. Next trip is just hubby and me. Three years from then I taking her son. I know they want to do a trip without baby before then. So I get to sit back and plan all these trips out.

I agree, it wouldn't matter where that suite is... it would be sweet anywhere!

Awwww your have a sweet grandbaby. What great memories you will be building with your grandson. In the meantime, enjoy your trip with your hubby!

Thanks again for reading.

I am going to Club 33 for a Canadian Dis meet! It was through the Canadian forum. It will be so incredible!

I wish too!!! I've seen photos and I can only dream! But you will be in Club 33? That really is incredible - ENJOY!!! At least with Club 33 membership you get APs. (I think?)

I've actually had champagne on the terrace that is shared with Club 33 and the Disneyland Dream Suite... Here's the link to part 1 of the experience and here's the link to part 2.

I definitely want to hear about your experience... let me know if you do a TR!

Wowzer!!! That has to be the upgrade of all upgrades! I thought you were going to tell us they downgraded you, LOL! Good for you guys!

Hi Teresa! Thank you so much for joining and reading!! Ha ha! I've learned that when Disney is over-booked or needs to move you they typically move you UP in room category. We passed up a 2 bedroom upgrade at the CR last year because I didn't understand the upgrade they were offering me and I insisted they give me the room I paid for. Lesson learned... I kept my mouth shut this time!

More coming soon.... I have my in-laws in town this week. Gotta be a good little DIL.

I am joining in...

I am enjoying your TR, can't wait to read more.

Nice pixie dust... I would have been up at the desk just to make sure they didn't make a mistake. lol

Hi there WDWaddict! Thanks for joining! Can you imagine if that was a huge mistake? They would have had to drag me out of there screaming at that point!

Wow! What a beautiful room!!! I don't know if I would have left it!! This was some fabulous pixie dust, I still need to watch your video when I'm not on my phone!

Hi Sarah! Thanks it truly was beautiful.

WOW, what an amazing suite!!! I love how it appeared to be just a regular room when you walked in, and then when you stopped dead in the second doorway and gasped, I had tears in my eyes too. Pixie dust to the max!

I'm so happy for you and Em, the Disney gods were certainly smiling on you this trip!

Thanks Carol! It did appear to be a regular room but then..... yeah, not so much. I looked so lame just taking a photo and walking away and not completing my sentence in the video. I was definitely having a moment. I didn't know if Em was still video taping since I had walked away.

Yay for the room reveal!!!! How amazingly awesome!! Pixie dust everywhere!! I have to say you and Em totally deserve it, you really love Disney and have a great appreciation for it and it's magic. And you girls just seem so sweet so I am happy you got to enjoy this treat

The room, not room, the house, suite, apartment lol....is of course beautiful, amazing views! Can't wait to see more

Hi Nicole! Thanks! Ha! Yes, room, suite, house, whatever it is called. We were so very grateful that this happened.

 

[DaveinFallsChurch]

Brenda, that suite just keeps looking better and better as you add more pictures! That picture you took from the master bedroom balcony facing the sun room really gave me an idea of just how big this suite is!

 

[emmysmommy]

More photos before I do a real update....

Entry hall - powder room is to the right:

Another view of the Living Room with the game table:

Kitchenette nook:

Another view of kitchenette. There's a Kurig.

Any yet another view of the kitchenette:

Dining room looking towards 2nd bedroom:

2nd bedroom:

Bathroom in 2nd bedroom:

Robes - there were 4 in total, 2 in each bedroom:

Master bathroom - see, a bidet!! We have funny video trying to figure it out but I didn't load it.... I must have said something stupid that I didn't want to share!! Maybe I'll edit it...

Looking from the master bathroom into the bedroom:

That's all for now... real updates coming soon. I have dinner with the in-laws tonight.

Have a great day everyone.

​

Dave: I just looked back at the balcony photo to see the perspective of the room size and yes, it really does illustrate some of the length of the room(s). You could almost drive from one end to another!! Ok, not really but it was large.

Next Update>>>​

 

[Kathy Z]

I was away with friends for a 4 day week-end so I'm just finally catching up with your trip report - WOW, WHAT AN AMAZING UPGRADE!!!!!!! Just feeling like I know someone who received such is exciting for me; so happy for you and Emmy!

 

[jerseytinkerbell]

Awesome! I'm sitting here at work tearing up watching your video. So cute. What a magical pixie dust moment for you and your daughter! The view you have is amazing too. I would have a hard time pulling myself away from that spectacular balcony. Great updates, can't wait for more!

 

[AGPrincess]

WOW - can't believe your updgrade! Fabulous!!! I'm loving all the photos - the suite looks palatial! Looking forward to hearing about the club lounge as well. But I suppose with that room you hardly needed the lounge!

 

[eandesmom]

WOW! Just gorgeous! I need to go back and catch up, joined in just in time for the big reveal. I adore the YC and that room is just spectacular.

 

[DisneyFreak06]

Oh my! Thanks for sharing those! That's a great experience. I want to do the Walk in Walts Footsteps tour again, just to see The Apartment. I will not this time because of the expense of Club 33. I am so excited about it! And that Dream Suite...

There will be a trip report, along with tons of pictures! I tend to do that.

Hi Kathy! Thank you!! Hope you enjoyed your long weekend,

It was pretty incredible...the best view was from the port hole windows. I'll post those soon.

Thank you AGPrincess! Ha! Come to think of it we didn't hang out in the lounge at all. We took our snacks to the room.

WOW! Just gorgeous! I need to go back and catch up, joined in just in time for the big reveal. I adore the YC and that room is just spectacular.

Hi Cynthia! Awwww thank you for reading - I am honored since you are another Disboard LEGEND!!!

This certainly made me a YC fan!

I'm glad to hear that you will do a TR - I will definitely sub.

I want to do the Walk in Walt's footsteps with Em since she hasn't seen the apartment. Not sure if they have tours for the Dream Suite or if it was just a special VIP tour because of my business. I could always contact Disney to ask.

Real update coming tonight....

 

[AuroraBrit]

What an absolutely amazing treat to be upgraded to such a fab room! Wanted to say a little Hi!, too

I'm a new user on here and have just subscribed to your Daughters wonderful Dining Review thread

 

[SpecialK]

First time I've subscribed to a trip report! Fun read, and what a great upgrade!

 

[debrapagliasotti]

Oh Brenda, how exciting for you and Emily to be upgraded to the Admirals Suite! I was so happy for you when I saw the news on the live dining thread during your trip and couldnt wait to hear the details and see all the pics.

 

[eandesmom]

Why: Since February 23rd is International Dog Biscuit Appreciation Day (seriously, look it up) what better way to celebrate than by going to WDW! Would you believe that we just wanted to enjoy some girl time at our happy place? Ok, well go with the later but you never know, next year I may just get a dog so that we can celebrate February 23rd with a puppy and some Purina Beggin strips.

You had me at that, now I'm going to have to go back and read your previous TR's!

With that I think we are ready to get the show on the road.
Another thing… I strongly dislike Photobucket now that it has changed to the new format. It may take a bit to edit and size the photos since it is now so difficult to work with. I started to move to Flickr but of course I had just renewed my Pro account with Photobucket. So my parting comment about that is ARGH!

I SO feel your pain there. I can't stand the idea of stuff in 2 places so am going to muddle along with PB...at least until renewal time next year. Major UGH.

and ARRRGH.

and



I had a similar situation on my ME bus and same thing, they just added that resort. Darn Poly people, it kept me from meeting Mary Ellen and Pat in time to get a margarita at the Ditch

Braised beef shortribs - Em's entree

Apple-spice cheesecake - delicious!

The short ribs are what I SHOULD have got when we were there but oh that cheesecake looks cool, I've never seen that one before!

I love your Y&Y lunch of apps, looks fabulous. We had dinner there in August, a first for us and absolutely loved it.

After the bill arrived I asked if there were AP discounts, the gal said yes, took my AP and came back a few minutes later announcing that the 10% AP discount applies only to entrees. Good to know.

Following lunch you know where we were headed…. Expedition Everest!

Same rule on the DVC discount....FYI.

And then all October I was walking around with Cynthia who also has totally perfect legs.

Not.

Brenda and Em have pretty lovely legs I think. Lovely in general, and how Brenda can be old enough to have a youngest son serving is beyond me. I'll have some of whatever she is having! And her cute outfits too!

Hi Cynthia! Awwww thank you for reading - I am honored since you are another Disboard LEGEND!!!

ok I'm going to totally hang out on your TR, it's good for my ego

I'm confused though....and apparently think too much

If you were at AKL in the am, did breakfast at Boma, checked out, went to AK, lunch at Y&Y, EE...then how did you check in at YC at 10:30 whatever it was?

When we were booked at YC I had read on the BC/YC thread about some people getting that kind of pixie dust, how magical! Heck I'm just happy if our room is ready at check in time . Seriously though, even though we now own at BWV and I have stayed at all the Epcot resorts, in many many ways, YC is still our favorite.

Whew! I think I'm caught up.
