The Murphys are LIVE from the BC and GF!!! July 25-August 3, 2015

I'm down here at the quiet pool on laundry duty. The inside secret laundry room is closed due to the construction. :(
No cash or coins can be used for laundry or soaps anymore. It's all credit and debit card.

Might have to try the Four Seasons for at least one night to check out the place and enjoy the water park. Wow, it really can compete with SAB! On a side note though, for my daughter, age 19, they charge an extra $75 a night! Whooooo, I was expecting some where in the $50, but its $75!

But me and my husband might could make it down next year for our 20th anniversary next year for a couple nights without the kids.:scratchin

Charged where?
 


I got way behind but loving this report so much!!!

The pictures from US/IoA are incredible. Did you do any non-Harry Potter stuff or was it All Wizards- All the Time?

I knew they got a bunch of new BC resort merchandise, but I had not seen that awesome tank before. I may have to get that.

Great pictures of the Frozen Fireworks!!! That really is an awesome view!

:goodvibes:
 
This is the only offer I've seen so far. Will check the GF tomorrow. :)

Thank you! Are you excited for your transfer tomorrow? Sounds like a great stay at BC, but fun to move along!

Your report is going to make me miss CL when we arrive at AKL . . . just 11 days! Our youngest (who doesn't know about our upcoming trip - surprise for him) saw your photos on my computer and was recalling his love of the BC club lounge. :)
 


Erika - the 201 free dining bounceback picture that you posted is really big news for the people who have been waiting to find out what the offer will be. That fact that it includes the week of May 31st to June 6th is something new.

We hit Jurassic Park and Marvel. Then it came a crazy storm so we left. Normally we would cover more than that in a day. But the kids weren't too upset since we were just there recently. :)

Glad I could help :) Feel free to share with anyone.
 
Thanks for the laundry room info Erika. For once u won't be packing tons of quarters. Still have to pack my Tide Pods - I won't use any other kind of detergent!
I used tide pods tonight and they worked great. These machines are HE and the label requests 1/4 the usual amount of detergent if you're using liquid or powder.

I am excited :) Although it's a bit squashed right now because Nic is sick and has been in bed since this afternoon. It's nothing serious, just a cold I think. I'm hoping this long rest today and tonight will revive him by tomorrow. We've got too much to do and no time to deal with illness on his birthday! At least staying in tonight gave me a chance to do all the laundry. And we watched the Frozen fireworks again from our balcony. I took some video and more pics. :)

This is the first time we've celebrated one of the boys birthdays at the BC CL where they didn't leave a birthday card or autograph photo. Usually they also bring a balloon and/or candy. But nothing this time. I thought the cards were pretty standard, but maybe they're cutting back on birthday acknowledgements. It's not a big deal, but I did note on our reservation he was turning 16 this week.

Thanks so much for the laundry room pix. I believe you gave me permission to use whatever I needed, so I will post these in the laundry section of the FAQ. Of course there is a laundry section!!!

:laundy:

But the important question... Is there a pop machine???

If not, no worries. My crew is accustomed to visiting the laundry room with Tom Collins or Jack Daniels so they are never alone, or thirsty.

Nope, no pop machine. Also you can let people know that every entrance to the quiet pool area is closed due to construction/renovations at this time. So they'll need to take the main exit out the back of the lobby, walk down towards the lake and turn left like they're going to Epcot. Then enter the quiet pool area from behind the building where those bathrooms are. At this time there is no other way to get down there.

Thanks!!!

Enjoy the rest of the trip- I hope all goes well with the rest of your stay and sending dry thoughts in the direction of Florida!
