2011/2012 Beach & Yacht FAQ, Part IV- DO NOT POST- see new 2012 thread

[Grumpy Grandma]

Bell services didn't happen to see any big 'ol clown shoe foot prints at the scene of the crime, did they??

Speaking of Tips maybe we should set up a "tip line" where people can call with information concerning the disappearance of the Noodles. Say Teena, do you still have that cell phone???

I love reading all your posts. You always make me laugh.

I don't think that's a good idea leaving them with the CL CMs because they rotate the CMs from one side to the other and from up on five to down at the lobby concierge desk plus we really don't have any place to securely store anything up on five. Really, the only place to leave them is with Bell Services and the Bell CMs don't mind ... especially since they are usually getting tips when people leave them and pick them up.

Thanks for the correction Teena!

Hey guys, I'm back!!! Mark and I had 3 and a half awesome days together in Puerto Rico!

I have been following along for news on the "Great Noodle Disappearance of 2012" Hopefully they will show up soon- but it was certainly a good run and lots of laughs while they were around!

YAY, we didn't make it to 250 pages while I was gone, so looks like I have a little breathing room before starting up a new thread. I'll be sure to let everyone know when we move.

Welcome Back Dee. Glad y'all had fun in the sun.
I was thinking our dear leader turns her head for five minutes and a whole family goes missing.

Has anyone even checked the closet? They may have just needed to get away for a little while. Their job looks easy but day after day in SAB has to wear on you.

PS.(No changes to trip list.)

Hi! We'll be returning to BCV in a one bedroom villa this September with my daughter and her husband. After we made our reservations, my other daughter and her friend decided they wanted to come too. There were no 2 bedroom villas available with the FD so they are in a room at the BC.

My question is this: Is there any benefit to having the reservations linked together? I actually made both of them and paid with my Disney Visa to get the free dining; does that mean they are already linked?

You're in two separate resorts so they can't be linked together.

Thanks Teena.

MM, You always make me laugh!!!! I would like to see Pepper go undercover as a BC guest and solve the crime. Maybe she would have to go over to the BW pool!

Hopefully our much loved Noodle Family will turn up soon. We had so much fun with them last year!

When I stay at BWV in June, should I bring more "Skinny Cousins"?

I've contacted the following "people" to see if they'd be interested in taking on our Missing Noodle Case.
~Marlton Mom
PS. for the guys on the list I'm sure Magnum would be happy to share his epic, mustache growing tips!

Sorry MM, but Suzanne Anderson (aka Angie Dickinson) or Cagney and Lacey (always partial to Sharon Gless) have my vote. I'm sure MikeyT has a few he'd like to add, but I'll leave the BayWatch babes off the list for now. SAB has enough lifeguards already.

Sorry, got off topic for a moment. The real question is, did the video from Teena of the Fantasy (yes we've all had ours) ever get posted and I just missed the link?

Regarding the missing Noodles -

I would think that if a family goes missing, normal operating procedure would be to contact the people with whom that family was supposed to be staying.

In other words - has anybody PMd the people on the Noodle List for February, to see what they did with the Noodle Family at the end of their stays?

I was thinking the same thing.

Quick update on the pool construction: here are some pics taken from the YC side of SAB. We didn't use SAB at all since we had no kids with us this trip, and we're not really swimmers (sorry - didn't time that Lazy River!), but it realy did seem ripped apart. We noticed a lot of construction noise on the YC side. The BCV pool & hot tub, as well as the BC quiet pool & hot tub were both GREAT!

 

[TaraPA]

I almost forgot - one of the great parts of the trip - meeting Teena! She's soooooo sweet, I can see why everyone loves her. She introduced me to her boss & with a little Tastycake bribery, I was able to make a room request for my upcoming stay.

Sorry the cell phone pics of The Fantasy didn't turn out, I'm sure you were just excited to be there!

 

[Marlton Mom]

So sorry MM it didn't come out. I sent it to Jeanne and another friend and they got it really well. Jeanne heard the "When you wish upon a Star" that they played right before the fireworks started.

I'm wondering if Verizon limits the file sizes when I get videos. I don't get any other videos, other than the ones you send, so I don't know what the deal is. Even the one of the Panama Canal crossing was small, but that one was shot in daylight so you could at least see it.

Ok, I need some help please! I recently saved an offer on the website for our dates in October, went to book it today and it's $1000 more. I called Disney and they said all they had available in the whole resort was pool view. Is there something going on mid-October at the resort? The lady I spoke with was so unhelpful and rude.

Food and Wine Festival.

I would guess it is getting booked for Food & Wine Festival -- Epcot resorts ar super popular that time of year and will book before other resorts.

Did you look for garden or standard view rooms at BC? YC? both? If not both, I would look at the opposite. If both, it is always possible a cancellation will be made. Happens all the time. Just keep checking for category you want. First thing in morning is best.

Did you check online as well as with an agent?

Food and Wine Festival.

I knew that was going on but I didn't realize the BC would be booked up with only water views left. Oh well. The Disney CM on the phone tried to get me to book concierge instead after I told her we were trying to book the least expensive category.

I looked at both categories for the BC and YC. It was just odd that yesterday the price was $1000 cheaper then today for the BC. I'll keep checking though, thanks! Online is where I had saved the BC offer and then when I hit the "book it" button, the price changed.

Sorry if this has been answered, but I went back a few pages and could not find anything... When is the pool construction scheduled to be finished? TIA

Wow that is a mess.......We are due in early June I would have to think it would be ready for the warmer florida months! That is pretty bad looking though.....
