Hi Dee
I am Debbie, you may have seen me posting on the Beach Club thread. We just booked 4 nights at AS Movies July 18-22. I was wondering if you noticed if the internet was Wifi in the rooms or if it is still the cable?
The whole idea to go to Disney was tossed out there at 9 am yesterday morning. I am so excited.
How did you like Atlantic City? I have never been.
Well like most people we really wanted to go to Vegas, but the flights were ridiculous. We settled for AC. My DH just wanted to go somewhere he's never been. It was fun. Not a place to stay for more than a few days.
Dee we have only done Backstage Magic so I can't answer how they compare. You would have to go to the descriptions for each. I can say Backstage is the longest tour and you don't require park admission like some of the other do.
We have gone to alot of concerts in recent years. We live about 10 miles from a popular arena in Jersey. We have seen Styx, Reo, Foreigner, Journey, Boston, Heart, Lynard Skynard, George Thorogood, Meatloaf, and Kid Rock there within the last five years. I know there have been others but those stick out. A number of them we have been multiple times. We have also seen Bon Jovi, Paul McCartney, and Billy Joel in the last few years as well at other arenas.
Oh I did find out the WiFi answer. On the WiFi thread there was a link to a newspaper article that said that the Cabins at Fort Wilderness just got wired and they were the final resort to get done.
Yes. All star Movies does have free wifi now. I had a friend stay there recently and her DH was able to work right from the room with no troubles.
I have no idea how I missed that you started your TR! I'm in. Going back to catch up now!
All caught up! Excited to read more.
I'm gonna have to be the odd man out here...we LOVE cosmic rays! We eat it on every trip. The turkey wrap is my favorite! And I love that they have a topping bar with cheese for my fries.
Ok...whew...got that off my chest!
natebenma said:Well you certainly have a valid (and very cute, may I add) excuse for being late to the party.
I'm glad you are here now!
natebenma said:I won't hold that against you!
More than the food- the crowded atmosphere at Cosmic Rays is what gets to me. Especially when my heart was set on something entirely different!
Good to know about the turkey wrap, though!
Yeah. I can understand being disappointed not getting something you had been so looking forward to. Especially since it was probably your only opportunity on this trip!
natebenma said:I haven't been able to talk to Ben much about this trip, because he is really missing Disney. He knew that I went to Cosmic Rays instead of Columbia Harbor House, but he didn't know until yesterday that I didn't eat at CHH-
"You didn't get to go there at ALL???"
This lead to a discussion about why it would be different during his class trip in 3 years.
Apparently, I have been too chaperone-y for some of our group.....
I think that would call for really early morning wake up calls all round
What a great idea to bring a golfball! I love that part of Soarin. My fav is the surfers in the ocean at twilight, but I love that golfball coming right towards me. I always scream, "watch out. duck!"
Last May I was on a girls trip and we had each gone our own separate ways. I rode Soarin by myself with 8 middle school boys. OMG! Where was THEIR chaperone when they were swinging the glider before it even took off?
So glad Soarin was a hit with the boys!
cute idea on the golf ball! But UGH on an hour long wait!
UGH hour long wait!!
Aren't you glad somebody played along- of course it wouldn't be Nate.
My boys love love love SSE. It's definately the welcome to your future movie they can make. We need to go several times so they can make different ones.
I've never been on MS. I get nauseous easily on rides like that.
I can barely continue . . . an hour wait? Grumbles about Spaceship Earth? Club Cool? Take me back to Cosmic Ray's and Stitch!!! But I appreciate the honest report and the photo of Sunshine Seasons (I really have to deviate from our regular plans and ADR craze to eat that salad - goat cheese and beets are two of my favorite things!) And of course, I'm REALLY looking forward to your next update - bring on the caramel!!!!
We'll be heading to Epcot in the evening for an ADR and I don't look forward to that long line at Soarin' with no fastpass. I doubt I'll be able to talk anyone into waiting until we come back a few days later in the morning though. We will be riding Spaceship Earth regardless of any grumbling, as well. Glad to see the cockroach situation was taken care of and that it was not discovered in your room or food.
I know, I know, it's Florida and there are bugs. But reading about the cockroach in the Soarin queue made me go "eeeeeewwwwww!" I can't believe you, queen of the commandos, waited an hour for a ride at Disney. Talk about sacrificing for the kids. The golf ball gag is great, I've seen it on a couple of TRs now and it seems to be a real crowd pleaser!
