They watch the flights and they will already know that your flight is delayed.

The first time we were actively greeted by CL staff, we were a tiny bit later than expected because we had stopped for lunch at the airport. When we got to the hotel the CM said "Oh we've been waiting for you. I saw that your plane landed a while ago so I thought you would be on an earlier ME bus."

Ughhh, I just went back and read your posts. That is so sad. I feel for you.

I know you will be at BC/YC tomorrow night, but that must seem years away right now.

I live in Toronto and while it is snowy, it really isn't that bad. Sucks that he couldn't make it out. Best that he flies home safely,( but still it sucks.)

Oh well, at least you have the folks on this board to hang out with, to help you vent and kill some time.

If you are bored, ask Dee about the space in the email address.

Sometimes its where he has to fly to that could be the problem... weather in other cities cause problems as well (damn those other cities)!! Where are you driving from?? I read the post but don't remember the city. Glad you will be arriving soon anyway and safe travels!!

We are driving down from DC so its only about 12 hours we usually do the drive through the night, play at the resort during the day while we adults "recover" from the drive and then go into vacation mode. This will be a bit different doing a daytime drive but nonetheless the kids understand that we are lucky to be going at all.
Frustrating, he was scheduled on the 2pm, that was cancelled and he was rescheduled for the 7pm which he told them no put me on the 445 - so they did and the 445 was the one that met fate with the de-ice truck and by the time they deplaned, the 7 was over sold and the only one to take off...someone up above did not want us driving tonight! ill take that as my sign
Now, I cancelled dinner at Captains Grill - leaves me with a ts credit -
any suggestions my BC/YC friends??

LOOK! I went from Earning my Ears to a Mousketeer in my last post!!

It is chilly and icy here in North Carolina tonight so I thought I'd think warm thoughts by posting a quick review of our BC CL stay. This was my 4th stay at BC, 3rd CL so I knew what to expect. We were greeted on arrival and escorted to the 5th floor. I love sitting down and being offered a beverage while I check in. The kids went straight into the lounge for the hot evening appetizers which included bacon wrapped scallops and seared tuna that night. As I mentioned earlier, we were upgraded to a water view room (5687) but that was never mentioned to us when we checked in. Our room was very quiet. We did hear some quiet elevator humming- not sure where it came from as we didn't see any elevator nearby. When I walked to the lounge, I realized that I was glad we were not in the first span of hallway off the lounge as I think this could be noisy in the mornings.

We ate in the lounge for breakfast the first three mornings. I had an easy but lasting breakfast of hard boiled egg and a hot mocha. DD13 loves the oatmeal and croissants. DS9 fell in love with the danish. One morning he was bummed that there weren't fruit filled danish but then was in heaven when he had the coconut! The last morning we ate at Captain's Grille but still went to the lounge to grab some pastry first!

Throughout our stay, we enjoyed bottled Evian in our room, sodas, wine (I preferred the pinot to the merlot), and evening liquor. I think DH was in heaven when he was able to grab a couple of beers for the room during Sunday afternoon football.

Saturday evening we ate at Flying Fish and loved it. We enjoyed walking around the Boardwalk and really enjoyed the art gallery. We came back to our room and DD started feeling off. Unfortunately, she threw up. I headed to the shop to get her something to settle her stomach. The lounge was just closing but I grabbed a can of ginger ale and asked the concierge who was packing up if they might have anything. They handed me some antacid tablets. I asked if I could just leave them with the ginger ale on the desk while I went downstairs. When I came back up, my items were there along with a few Mickey stickers which I thought was sweet. DD fell asleep but threw up again at 1am. Thankfully, she woke up and was perfectly fine the rest of the trip. Not sure if she had a bad mussel at dinner, has some sort of digestive allergy to mussels or something else, or what...that was her only symptom.

Our final evening we returned to the lounge directly after Wishes. (I thought it impressive that we were back in the lounge before 9pm after 8pm fireworks!) We played Stitch Trouble and had a few sweets. It was so fun, like being at home but better.

We had very good experiences with the MK buses and the boat back to BC from HS (we walked there even though my daughter was sick the night before- we were way ahead of the boat).

BC is the perfect hotel for my family (although I wish it would be a bit cheaper even with an AP discount)! Can't wait to return!

Sending good thoughts your way, AlMinVa!!

Thanks to everyone for the travel insurance info! I think I'll take your advice and call Allianz to see what they can do for us. We are still over 4 months out, but I've never planned (or taken) a long vacation like this before, so I'd like to make sure I have all my ducks in a row. I really appreciate all the suggestions!

Only four fannies can fit in the carriage. If you have teens you can tempt them with the arcade at the Contemporary to get down to the maximum number.

Thanks for posting your trip review Club Level really is like having the comforts of home, with out the mess in the kitchen, while on vacation.

ALMintraveltrouble, I hope it works out for you. I am keeping my eyes crossed that you make it with out too much more difficulty but I am getting tired of banging into things so I may have to find a better way to root for your success.

Speaking of keeping your eyes crossed, when you look at that address (Yacht.Beach.Club.Itinerary.Planning@disneyworld.c o m; ) with your eyes crossed the space doesn't look so h u g e

(you'd think somebody would fix it! )
