Jd99 great blog post!
thanks. I'm just kind of sad that I had to post it!
Jd99 great blog post!
Coachbagfanatic, it's definitely the "virtual" packing that takes time! And who wants to spend WDW time shopping for something you forget?! You must be getting so excited
jd99, I saw your blog. Like Coachbagfanatic said, it is a shame you had to experience that in SL, but I suspect on a given day you could see that at any CL.

Oh I'm sure that it isn't confined to GF Sugarloaf CL. However, this is our 7th or 8th CL stay and these displays were breathtaking in their audacity. As much as beer guy blew me away, I was almost more astounded by the women gathered around the table eating food right out of the platters with their hands. They were obviously well-to-do based on their attire and accessories but still thought it okay to take over the buffet and eat out of trays that others were supposed to be using. I wouldn't do that in my own home so what planet did they come from? I can laugh now but at the time I was thinking.....Should I video this and post it to the DIS and Facebook? I didn't want to be embarrassed by pulling out the iphone and doing so. And thinking back all that comes to mind is that *I* didn't want to be embarrassed. Oy vey.

Do you get turn down service in all the rooms or just upon request?
Thanks
Ah the chocolates...HRH's favorite part !!!!As MommyGina said turn down service is for all rooms. It feels so luxurious to come back from dinner or the park and find your beds turned down, curtains drawn, chocolates on the pillow and fresh towels.
I will. Thanks for the hug! I need thempas130 Please keep us posted about your little princess. Sending more hugs your way today.

When we stayed in SL 2 years ago, one family took ALL the chocolate covered strawberries. Nothing was left for the other guests. To make matters worse, that family didn't eat them! They threw them away!!!! So, we didn't get any. That was frustrating. I did mention something to the CMs and chocolate covered strawberries were delivered to our room!
see, i think the cm's handled that well. i am always interested in people's comments about lounge behavior. i think another solution to the problem is that the lounge cm's (or more accurately, whomever is in charge of these matters) need to make sure that there is enough for guests. yes, it is wrong for guests to gobble up a whole platter, but as guests we should also not be expected to ration it out, either. there should simply be enough provided where we don't have to worry about that, for those prices. honestly, at RPC, i never saw a situation in which the food was not replenished quickly, no matter how fast the guests might have pounced on it. they always made sure to bring out more right away, and they were bringing it out right until the end of the scheduled time. but i do remember at the poly that was not always the case... they seemed to run out in the evenings of the most popular item sometimes in the first hour and then you were just SOL. snack time at the poly was pretty ridiculous, too- we would often pop in from the pool to find most of the items gone and no one around to ask. it's terrible. at the poly i was uncomfortable because i felt like i could sample very little of what there was because otherwise someone else would go without. there's no reason to feel like that on vacation, let alone for what their prices are. just make sure there is an adequate supply in the first place!
<disclaimer: i am not trying to throw poly under the bus, we loved it overall and will return. but you get what you pay for and i think that their CL is much less expensive than the RPC because their CL does not even compare.>
pas130 thinking about your princess and sending you some for today
Well, we are down to one more sleep and off we go to the airport tomorrow morning at 5:00 am. They guys are packed but I still have yet to pack. Just finished cleaning the house this morning and now I am off to get my mani/pedi. I am a little sad as I brought my shiba babies to my moms yesterday. It feels weird being home without them but they are having a "Grand" time at nanny's house.
The day we check into BLT we will be headed to the GF to visit. So I will take some pictures and post them that evening.
