I regret to announce that the pineapple "non-dole-whips" are on a hiatus from Stormalong Bay. They disappeared sometime at the end of August (they were not available for my trip) and we have been told that they would be available only when staffing levels allow. I'm interpreting that to mean busy times likely, Thanksgiving, Christmas, spring break and summer.

OK, folks, here is the "scoop" (swirl?) on the pineapple treat available at the Frozen Snack Shack at Stormalong Bay from someone who is at the resort now.
As we suspected, they are not allowed to use the D*le Wh*p name due to some trademark or licensing issues. But it is the same delicious cup of wonderful that you can get at MK, DL and the Poly. AK too?
But a Pineapple Frozen Dessert by any other name still tastes as sweet!
Unfortunately, you do need to be staying at the YC/BC/BCV to have access to the snack shack. Poolside waitstaff or people working at Hurricane Hanna's can't get one for anyone not in the pool area.
I'm not sure if you can use a Dining Plan Snack Credit for any of the treats there- I don't see the little purple DP symbol on the posted sign for things like the Mickey Bar or ice cream sandwich, although everything except for the Pineapple Treats are $3.99, so I believe that falls into snack price range. I'll check at the end of the month, or if someone is there sooner could ask and let us know, I would appreciate it.
I haven't heard if this is a temporary offering for the summer or if it will be a permanent or seasonal feature at SAB.
Mmmmm!

Thank you so much!!! It's going to be so different! We already can't imagine being there without the girls, but I think we can get used to it

We went last year without our boys and I was having huge mommy guilt but we had so much fun! I almost feel bad typing that but our trip was so different without the boys. Don't get me wrong, I couldn't wait to go back with them this summer but DH and I are so happy we went just the two of us last year.
Have a great trip!!!

Going without the kids is something everyone should try. It is very different but equally awesome! I highly recommend it.

Last year, at BC and at GF, we used a TA and got a "Magical Deal." At GF, we got the room we paid for, and at BC, I'm pretty sure we got an upgrade as we were looking over the walkway from the back door out to the lake. Now, you really couldn't see the lake, but I think that may have been a GV. If I remember correctly, there was some horrendous charge on our final bill that looked as if BC had re-charged us for the room, or charged us for the upgrade, but when you looked at the total at the bottom, it hadn't been included. We were only truly charged for the souvenirs and dinners we'd charged to our Magic Bands. So, it may be a case where they printed what was charged just for record-keeping, but you weren't actually charged. I just hope you got a good night's sleep, and study the bill carefully today. If in fact you were charged, then yes, some phone calls definitely have to be made! Good luck!
Right? Actually, Tom knows exactly what I'm doing, but it's amazing what wine does to his wallet....the money just starts flying away......
Lots of people who are jealous of our Disney vacations do too! We were at a christening yesterday telling people, and people were amazed that we're about to spend 10 days at CR and BC for only a smidge more than they pay to stay at POR or POFQ...moderates etc.
Ditto...see above. I actually had no problems with the *magical* rate last year at all. We got to stay at BC and GF at incredible rates....only a bit more than S&D or moderates. I'll take that any day!
I think The Mouse has eyes all over the place!

I agree. I really enjoy the Poly thread but this thread is truly the best! We are doing a split stay in 3 weeks. 5 nights at Poly and then 5 nights at BC.
We took the luggage this weekend and it's in the dining room. The kids came back from their Dad's house and were so giddy saying "OMG the luggage is out. It's getting so close."
23 more days until the Poly, 28 until the BC!
I keep thinking in 4 weeks at this time I'll be walking around SAB checking it out!

When I tell people how much I'm paying for the BC or Poly they are either in shock or think I'm lying. Most brush me off like I don't know what I'm talking about lol

Our daughter already asked if she would still be included in our vacations even though she will be in college
I said, of course.....but not all of them!!!!!

I see a bounceback is being offered. Do people who booked the magical deal through the TA get offered the bounceback also?

Very jealous of you all going so soon! 449 days to go!!!!
Look at it this way...a whole lot of "construction projects" should be done by the time you get there...Pixar, maybe even Star Wars in DHS (or whatever they are calling it then!), and Avatar in AK...we'll all be jealous of YOU!!!

Good point, I can't wait for Rivers of Light. This thread and the UK Planning area is keeping me sane in the meantime

So, can you folks who use the "magical" offers...someone said that they are convention rates? Is there any problem with this from Disney's perspective? I mean, since most of us are NOT there for a convention, are there any limitations or restrictions, or other factors that make these offers different than an offer from anywhere else? (Other than price, I mean...)
We have another trip I'm planning for Spring of 2016, and while I have been very happy with my current TA, if we can get a better offer (with no strings) from another source, I'd certainly look at it. But I don't want to book something with the idea that we're going to be paying $XXX, only to find out that Disney changes their policy or something....
