Definitely going to make a pit stop there. Either on our way to DME or before we head back home. Love the stuff at Lush.

You can smell the store from several feet away!
I live in NY, where we have a number of their stores, and believe it or not, MCO was where I first discovered LUSH. I have been hooked ever since.
Enjoy!!

You also have Basin in DTD or at the GF. They have a wonderful selection of bath and body products. You can try out almost anything at the store.

I just returned from a week at BWI at the Inkeeper's Club. It was the same wonderful experience that it always is!! The concierge members are one big happy family who are always ready and willing to help the guests and make their stay a most pleasant one. I've stayed on club level at many Disney Deluxe resorts. The BWI club level beats them all!!

We never miss shopping at LUSH when we're in NYC or even in AC.

Yes, basin products are nice (and we bring a big bag of Basin stuff home every trip), but they don't come close to Lush.

The Hess Station is across the street from the entrance to BWI. On the first page of the thread, I have a link to the Hess which has current gas prices and lists what it sells.

Click the picture for larger version.

We have been debating back and forth on 3rd or 4th floor for our Dlx CL room as far as balcony space.

IPO told me the balconies were about the same size, but after reading some of the comments, I'm not sure anymore.

Can 2 adults stand comfortably on the 4th floor balcony?

Our room was the one on the top left in the link you just posted. Two adults could comfortably stand, but anything more than two was uncomfortable, and trying to sit and eat or have anything out there with you was difficult.

ETA: I just wanted to mention that of the 4 adults with us, the shortest is 5'9", so that could've been why it was uncomfortable

Thanks so much! I will show the pic to DH and tell him what you said about the space and go from there.

We definitely use the jets with the bubble bath - that's the fun of it We do make sure not to let the bubbles overflow and when the tub drains, we rinse it with some water because if you don't, it will leave those dirty bubble marks. But I LOVE a HUGE bubbly bubble bath!!

Too much bubble stuff will damage the works if you don't purge the system afterwards. That means refilling the tub and adding bleach to the water and letting it run.
