My F&G trip this year was April 30 to May 5th, and this BCV trip was marvelous, in so many ways.
ME was flawless. My plane landed around 1 and I was swimming at SAB by 2:15. My room was not ready, so I used the locker at the health club and enjoyed the wonderful weather. It was a bit breezy, so sitting after swimming wasn't an option, really, and so, I called the number and my room was ready by 3:15. My luggage appeared just as I was emerging from the shower, so that was very fast as well.
What a room! Studio 431, large balcony, very good condition, and on the bed was a huge towel figure, Mickey's ears with a bow! The extra towels are always welcomed in a studio stay. All the supplies were there, and all of them were correctly given again on towel and trash day, Saturday.
The Welcome Home Wednesday was much better attended than I had thought it would be. There were about 100 people. I didn't win any prizes, enjoyed the time, but don't need to do it again. Maybe if DH was with me. At this point I was solo. DH came Friday morning to Sunday afternoon.
BJ Thomas was performing on Wednesday, and I had arranged to meet Simba's Mom, and Dan Murphy from these boards at the concert. What a delightful way to spend the time! We enjoyed good laughs, pleasant conversation, and had a great time at BJ Thomas's concert. I stayed for his next one as well. Simba's Mom also met DH and me on Friday when we enjoyed Arlo Guthrie's third concert of the night. He was wonderful! Members of his family were there performing "City of New Orleans" and "This Land is Your Land" and it was very enjoyable.
On my way to see BJ Thomas, "helenabear's" DH noticed my Disboard pin, and introducted himself and their very cute DS, who was just full of smiles! Sorry not to have met helenabear!
SAB was never overly crowded IMO. It was wonderful! Except for the one night when I was late going swimming (the pool was opened 10 - 10) I was asked for an ID and received a bracelet. I did swim in the Tidal Pool on Monday, just a bit before heading home.
One first for us was eating at Beaches and Cream. We enjoyed the hamburgers as much as expected, but really enjoyed the onion rings. They made a great chocolate ice cream soda as well.
I was expecting friends on Sunday after DH left, and I went down to get them keys before they came. There was some small glitch, but eventually my friends got the keys and we enjoyed an afternoon swim and then the Searcher's concert! What great songs, they did. I know in USA, the Coasters made "Love Potion #9" popular, but the Searcher's version was terrific!
I do not think that the flowers and topiaries were as good as they have been, but all in all, it's a great Flower Show, and if you are so inclined, go see it! I went to a program in which we got to plant and keep a crepe myrtle.
I sent mine home with my Florida friends. It would grow in Cape May NJ, but it's going to be July before I get there.
Truly, my BCV room was in excellent shape and all in all I was thrilled to be using our very own BCV points! There were a few, not many love bugs.
If I can answer any questions, I would be happy to. However, this was a relaxing visit for us, we only did Epcot. DH and I did have Swedish Massages at the SSR Spa. Yes, it's a great place, but I didn't find out that there was an elevator I could have used until after the fact. I don't think the layout is the best in that regard. However, now I know.
