My parents have this type of drain. In modern baths in Germany it has become pretty much the standard drain over the last 5 years or so. I know that several friends have it. And one couple has a massive rain shower to go with it (that makes the one at the Poly look tiny). Never heard them complaining. There must have been something clogging up the drain. If installed properly, it works totally fine.
However, things like that really should not happen! And I totally understand your frustation!
It was a great concept, and at first it was hard to realize that was actually the drain. But then, I think that was part of the problem. Even when I really focused in on it, it was very difficult to see any gap around that area at all. It was all good though............I didn't have a single problem with the other shower and bathroom.
I love the pic of both of you with the plane, you look really fit!!
Thanks! But there was no way I was going to join Pat for my first ever run event, much less a Run Disney event, and embarrass myself! It was great motivation to do something that sorely needed to be done long ago. I feel much better without carrying a small child around with me everywhere I go.
The new lobby looks sad to me...empty. Not sure if I will ever adjust to the missing waterfall as it was so much a part of the original Polynesian Village. Wonder if it will still be my favorite resort and home away from home.
I didn't think I would like it at first either, but the more I looked at the changes to the lobby, which I had seen during a previous quick visit, I really like how open it is, and how much light it adds. So inviting and easy to navigate..........while still having that tropical feel that always attracted me to The Poly.
I ,too am sorry for falling behind , work is the main reason but Windows 8 and
the new Dis don't help!!
.
I can sure relate to THAT!
We tried 3 or 4 times but just didn't have the time to really wait. Next trip it will be a priority.
Yes, I expect we will try frequent attempts until successful........... like tracking down the EWP!
Once you see the lobby in person it is okay- I thought I would hate it but it really brings a open airy tropical feel to it. the natural light alone make it an improvement
Nice work on the race clues! I'm an engineer and that first clue would give me fits too!
Pat read it to me the first time, and the way it read had me totally off track to start with.
Then when the CM gave us a little assistance when she saw we were on the wrong track, we finally figured it out. Later when we had more time, we slowly read the clue again and it made a little more sense, but I figured out if they had rearranged the clue just a little, it would have been more clear.
Then after reading it again, like Pat mentions below this, we are convinced that THEY even had the wrong answer based on the clue.........and there are actually two more correct times that fit.
The answer was 34 but just now I came up with 38.
Go figure. I just don't have enough fingers to count it all up.
Obviously those making up the clues did not realize we would only have the card and our fingers to figure it all out. There was a bottleneck at that clue spot.
After that we were good.
That first clue was definitely a little much to figure out all in your head, still sweating and panting from the 5k run..........
I am loving your TR! You have a great eye for picking out so many cool little details that are not obvious at first look. Makes me feel like I'm back already, even though that won't be for quite some time yet. Loved the window washers in the Land, haha!
Welcome! Yes Pat is very good at capturing so many little details. Unfortunately I guess, it means I have gotten a little lazy taking my own pictures. I really don't have anything from this trip that Pat didn't take and already post...............
Your post of the new hub made me realize that I don't think I took any pictures of it....was too busy running from place to place. Since it had been 3 years since our last visit to the parks, we were still a little bit commando-style.
Hey, how you choose to dress for the parks is your own business..................
Oh I see how it is , I am not allowed to gripe whine etc ,
I was just explaining how we are going to switch from paper to online tracking at work
Let's see if I can gripe that much
Nothing will ever stop our dear Rosie from griping, whining and complaining!!!
Back on the DIS a little bit and am trying to read and keep up with some PTRs and TRs that DISfriends have in progress! It is tough with some of the new user names and I am not used to the new format. Looking forward to VWL photos! I agree with Kathy - I am not too crazy about the new Poly lobby though I love that resort in general.
Good to see you back around here some!
You got to meet up with Tammie - very cool!
Very, VERY cool indeed!
Just wish we had a little more time to chat, but they got seated for O'Hana in record time I think.............
Hi to Marv who looks like he lost some weight for the race. Looking good Marv!!!!
Thanks MEK!
It seems things have gotten a little stagnant right now since I would still like to lose those last 15 pounds. Even though I still get my walks and daily steps in, I haven't had the chance to do the more stringent walk/run workouts lately that help keep me moving in the right direction, so have sort of plateaued right now. Partly time...........partly the heat...........but mostly trying to get that pain in my right knee to go away or at least ease up so I can get back to more frequent runs again.
Marv says hi- and thanks He is looking good and working hard! I am so proud of him.
