More ketchup, Andrew???

I see we have moved on a lot so I haven't the time to ketchup, I lost out earlier this week in trying to keep up with the REPO thread, so now its both cruise threads I cannot keep up with.

I got like that last summer when I went to Spain for 4 weeks and couldn't be bothered to access the internet at all whilst away. When I got back, all the threads were sooo far ahead, I just gave up and posted from when I returned and had time to be online. I'm being particularly lazy with real life at the moment - I really don't post this much as a rule...

Oh gosh we were there then and it was sooo pretty not as pretty as this pic. But still looked nice.......

I felt sick everytime I saw the castle that way
Just didn't look right to me.

My fav. WDW resort is SSR we love it because it is set up so nice and the accomadations are beautiful.. And you???????????

DS and I stayed there for the first time in December - our room was gorgeous!!! We were both unwell and that 1 bed was lovely to relax in... We both loved being so close to DTD too...

However, my personal no. 1 on-site resort is the Polynesian - love the rooms, love the views of MK, love the restaurants, love the beach, love the pool, love the fact you can walk to the Grand Floridian (DH's and DS's fave ) and to the TTS to get the monorail directly to EPCOT...

Awww!!! Seems our Ed's a sensitive guy!!!

Anyone have photos of this pink Cindy's Castle to which you are referring - I don't think I've seen it?? When was it decorated this way??

Yes it can be very time consuming if you miss a few days. I've had that problem, and sometimes it just easier to continue from the new point instead of going back more than a couple of pages.

I hope you get better soon....Were you sick when you arrived or when you got there???

I know we stayed at the Grand when the kids were small. I do not think they even remember it but it was lovely..........

How is your day going?? Well it is pretty much over for you right???!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I haven't been to SSR yet, I have heard great things about the place, we just bought our DVC (home resort-AKV) in September. We have only stayed at POP and Caribbean Beach (no deluxes yet- a couple of months). I would love to stay at the Poly or Grand Floridian.

If you stay at SSR you will love it for sure............

I'm OK now, thank you.. My DH was really sick with flu before we went and I think I took his germs with me...

...I know we stayed at the Grand when the kids were small. I do not think they even remember it but it was lovely...

We've stayed there a couple of times - DH wants to do the concierge level next time... It is a fab resort - great restaurants and beautifully decorated...

...How is your day going?? Well it is pretty much over for you right???!!!!!

Well, strangely, it's almost 7pm here and about to start! I'm off to pick DS up from the station in a moment and shortly after it'll be time to start dinner as DH will be home in about an hour...

And you're staying at AKV soon, I think?! DD and I both have DVC points there but haven't stayed there yet. We went to check it out in October and it's gorgeous... We had a delicious meal at Boma too...

Yep, we are staying our 1st DVC stay the first week of may We got a 1 bedroom savannah view and are so excited. The pictures are gorgeous of the resort. We are doing Boma the first night for dinner, but we are not very adventurous eaters, so I hope we like it. My DD doesn't eat hardly anything, mustard and wheat bread her favorite foods right now.
