Resort switch day is always tough, isn't it. No matter how often we do it and how easy Disney makes it with luggage transfer, it always seems to eat up half our day. I'm glad you guys were still able to get some fun in at the fitness center and the pool.
Resort switch is tough, but we had no choice as we were downsizing considerably. Actually, we had plans to leave the Disney bubble for the night and return on Saturday. Does this give you a hint?
Looking forward to hear about the "couples only" portion of your trip!
I am looking forward to writing about it. I will say this - it was very relaxing and there was lots of pool time, adult beverages, and yummy meals involved.
I will give you a BIG shout out for one month!!! I'm right there with you and I can't wait to meet you!
I can't wait to meet you and the family either! I am really looking forward to our DIS meet! It's going to be a great trip!
Such pretty pictures around SSR Treehouses. I'm glad you were able to squeeze in a little laundry.
haha on the laundry. It was about the last thing I felt like doing, but with a 10 night stay I thought it might be a good idea. I actually had plenty of cloths and probably even enough underwear, but I needed my running clothes washed because I didn't feel like bringing that many shirts and shorts.
Yay for you and Denny time!!
We sure earned it, didn't we?
UGH! Wanna hear my trick? I'm trying to avoid the middle man too but do like to bulk upload and the iphone isn't great for that even when your app works. We have an external drive that we back up our laptops too. I use it as a storage device for the photo's so I know they are backed up, but aren't taking up hard drive space on my limping along laptop. I just drag and drop from the memory stick to the external drive and then upload to PB from there. IMHO since you are already paying for pro on PB I'd stick with it.
Still it's a pain no matter what you do. Phone time stamps not matching the camera (remind me to change the time on my camera night one will you?????) and then upside down pictures...lol!
I do have pro for photobucket and I will continue to use that for my regular pictures. I think I'll just use Flicker for the phone pictures and dump the bad ones whenever it gets too full. I do like that I can see the pictures at work. That is cool, but I am still blocked from accessing the site.
Yup 28 today. My ticker is a day behind because I never changed it when I added the extra day. 4 weeks from now we will BOTH be there. Woo Hoo!
I got the groceries about set too so owe you an email.
Cool!
Ok that's funny! Is the whitewall really only 18 inches?
That is what I read on the cruise threads because I was investigating whether or not I would like an aft state room. I could be wrong, but I feel pretty sure that's what it said.
We went to the Sheraton. I don't want to do too many spoilers though but I will totally fill you in on our experience and thoughts on the city itself as well.
You'll just have to wait 29 days!
28 days to hear about the Sheraton. I really hoped you liked it. Can you at least give me a yay or nay?
It got really good reviews on Trip Advisor. Ok, I'll try to be patient.
OMG I SO need this trip. 29 days 29 days 29 days!!!!
28 28 28 28 28 28 28.......
........
Absolutely. If they book, the book. If not, oh well. I am just SICK about the new AP price. I bought mine in August as I was upgrading a one day base ticket. I would have saved even more by waiting. I can only hope and pray they do something similar next year...but that won't even help as it would be past my renewal date. Arrgh.
Yeah - that is a bummer for you because you could have gotten it for this trip and I actually still have water park passes on an adult ticket. That would have been fun. I might go to the WP the day you leave. Why not? Then I will spend my last night circling the world showcase and saying goodbye to the Epcot I will not see for another YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bummer about the increase in points for the HH change. But fun that your friends are going!!!
I am glad they decided to go and I really do prefer the big villas over a studio. We'll be fine pointwise. We will just have to borrow if we need a 2BR in october. If we don't we will be fine because I left my VWL contract intact and I would love to stay there next November when the decorations go up. It's just hard to explain to your friends that whatever they decide factors very heavily into my planning strategy.
CUTE pics in the pool! Love the frogs.
Those frogs were so cool. We didn't see them working the first day which should have been our sign that something was amiss with the pool.
10-15 isn't bad. We weren't on time for ANY of our villa check outs.
That would have driven me nuts, going to do laundry and finding it full. Heck that happens here all the time (E's do their own)
It was a little annoying, to say the least, because everyone had this giant suitcases so I figured they had to have enough clean clothes, but maybe she just didn't want to go home with any dirty clothes.
Woo Hoo!! You'll be back in Disney before you know it!!
Talk about being back in Disney soon - look at you with only 10 days to go.
I would say that Nassau is worth checking out.....once. We didn't get off the Dream last year but that was because Ed & I had been there in 2004. We did the Queen's Stairs & the fort tour. Both were neat & we did some nice pictures. But, we didn't stay long. We also went to the pirate museum which was neat and visited the Straw Market. We didn't spend the whole day there.
That's exactly why I want to tour - I want to take pictures. I like that touristy stuff, so at the very minimum we will do that. I do want to hear about the Sheraton from Cynthia, but she's going to make me wait.
Can't wait to hear how the rest of the trip went with just the 2 of y'all.
It was really fun, so stick around!
I have to run off to school for the morning- training volunteers for school copying, so I didn't get through your whole update. Which was hard-fought! When you said Update from Hell, I was afraid you were describing something bad that happened from the trip, but the troubles you had getting us your update really stunk!
I have been having terrible issues with the DIS boards lately - my lost update, my photobucket fopah, and the unexpected internet explorer closures. Ugh - then today we actually had a quick power surge at work and my computer shut down in the middle of replies. Perfect.
Anyway, I stopped reading when I got to your update about the cruise excursions. As you know, I never finished my Atlantis report I will. Someday. But we took some time out to do a tour of Nassau which included the Queen's Staircase and one of the forts. Not a bad excursion, and I'll feed you some info and pictures sometime soon-ish.
I really, really want to read more about Atlantis. It looks and sounds so cool. The excursions over there are super expensive, so as much as I would like to do it I really feel like I should do the touristy less expensive things first. I would LOVE some pictures.
