2012 Beach and Yacht FAQ ~ March, April and May ~Do Not Post Here-Old Thread

Drum roll please.....

FOUND THE KIDS' PIN LANYARDS!!!



DH found DS's in a box in the back of the garage and I found DD's in her room (after tearing the crap out of the basement).

So, Teena, could you send me the link to the 2012 Hidden Mickey pins????

Thanks!

YAY!!!

Good, but not great news. I'm a Dunkin' lover (and former employee)

Isn't it a law or something here in MA that you must love Dunkin? Although, hubby is originally from NJ and you would think he's got Dunkin in his veins.

 

[focusondisney]

Well look what was on the community board

Eh, I'd rather have Tim Horton's.

 

[natebenma]

Not Dunkin fan and they don't have soy milk so I can't go there anyway. I prefer locally well roasted coffee but I HATE that Nescafe swill. I am thrilled to be able to get a cuppa starbucks now.

That's a bummer that Dunkin does not offer the soy milk and the Starbucks is definitely a better alternative to what is currently available.

Definitely a New England law!

The extended forecast for the 10 days we are there looks awful! Please tell me when it says "rain" it won't be all day!!!! Hardly a sun in sight on the horizon... How accurate do you think this will be? I never thought about rain for the whole time in a million years...

Just worrying about more stuff - comes with being the planner, I guess!

For my December trip, the weather was all over the place on the 10 day forecast (rain, cold, etc). We ended up having 4 days of sunshine and 80 degree temps. For my September trip, I think the 10 day forecast called for rain every day....it was hotter than blazes, but we only had a couple of sprinkles one afternoon at SAB.

Take it with a grain of salt.....if it does rain, chances are it will be brief (bring your rain ponchos...that always guarantees sunny weather for me ) and a rainy day at Disney is generally better than a day at home!

Wishing you sunny days!!

Really hoping they don't take the DD's out of the Hess Station. It's so convenient to stop there on the way to the parks in the am. Not sure DH would agree to drive any further out of the way.

 

[beachmom14]

Sorry guys not a coffee drinker but a tea drinker and love DD's & Starbuck's Vanilla Chai tea. Is there anywhere in disney that I can get a Vanilla or regular Chai tea?

To donnaF516 from NJ, I just saw your post and your name threw me for a loop... because I'm also donnaF from NJ and we are leaving for BC on my daughter's bday 516!!!!

Also just want to say only 22 more days to go!!!!!

Although I have never been, I think the Andapour Tea Cart in Animal Kingdom (Asia?) has a variety of teas and chais. Frozen too. Maybe the Writer's Stop in HS. These are just guesses, though. If you get a chance, check on the menus/info for these two places.

I have just spent the past few days getting caught up on this thread, and I can't believe how much I've missed! So glad the pool rehab was so much less painful than everyone anticipated...I feel so sorry for all of those who switched out of the best resort on Earth, they don't know what they missed!

Dee - LOVE your vacation photos!

Teena - honestly, your life just makes me go "huh"? You embark on this amazing Disney cruise vacation and then HAVE to return back to the "real world" where you just slave away at the......Beach Club! Seriously...as much as I enjoy delivering babies for a living, I think I might need some life lessons from YOU!

Wee Annie - Your TR post about the BC could be one of my own...and congrats on the magical upgrade! We have also been pixie dusted in that way, and it makes for an absolutely amazing vacation.

Feckless - LOVE those nails!

And the good news is, we will definitely be heading back in August! We booked a bounce back during our trip in March, just because we didn't want the deal to slip away, not really knowing if we could swing it. But I have to tell you, I cannot remember really longing to be back in WDW and the BC like I have been for the past month. I don't know what it is, but I think about our trips all of the time, and how relaxed and happy I feel when we are all together there....maybe it's because my children are older now and in college, and I want to hang on to our Disney memories for as long as I can before they head out on their own. I realize we will still take trips together with (hopefully) their spouses and our grandkids, God willing, but I just love when the four of us are together. OK, didn't mean to get all sentimental on you......

Dee, can you add us to the BOG list when you update it again? We will be checking in August 20th!

And on a completely off topic note, I am sure I'm in the minority here, but I am NOT happy about Starbucks...or any "chain" infiltrating my WDW bubble. I sense a pattern here that I do not like. We choose to spend our vacations and our money in WDW because we feel completely removed from the outside world. A Starbucks on Main Street USA is NOT my idea of what Disney is about. Downtown Disney is already beginning to feel like my neighborhood mall.....I will suffer with Nescafe frothy sludge, because it's Disney's Nescafe frothy sludge!! I don't want to start a debate, I know this isn't the thread for that, but I feel like a few posters here will definitely get what I'm saying.

I have updated the Be Our Guest List through this morning. Please take a moment to look it over to make sure your information is listed correctly.

Thank you so much for all your hard work, Dee! I am new to this thread and have been greatly enjoying the info and fun. I'm still trying to catch up, but right now I'm back somewhere around page 65.

I believe that I posted when you were still in Atlantis, so I suspect my post was buried. We will be at YC CL from December 1-8. (I believe we'll be there with Clare, who I clearly need to get to know. )

If you could add us to the BOG list when you get a moment, that would be great! Thank you!

And now I will return to my attempt at catching up.

 

[Akess]

Congrats on your graduation! If you are anything like me, you will change your ADR's many times, but half the fun is in the planning.

By the way, love when the ticker is down to just days.

Thanks! I am so jealous of your ticker! Our November trip seems like an eternity. I am hoping that summer will keep us occupied enough that we will stop thinking about how far out November is.

Hi guys - just stopping in for a minute to ask for prayers from my BC/YC "family". My mom is back in the hospital.

Sunday night everything was fine. We had my grandson's "birthday dinner" and mom seemed a little tired but other than that was in good spirits.

Yesterday afternoon I got a phone call from her - she was having definite breathing problems and asked me to take her to the ER. Now if you know my Mom there is nothing she hates more than hospitals so I KNEW she was not doing well.

She has been admitted with respiratory and kidney problems. As most of you know she is a real fighter and I'm hoping for the best. If you can, please keep our family in your prayers today.

Thanks so much

We are staying at the YC June 4-9 for our 20th wedding anniversary and I am so excited!

Please add us to the list of DIS members staying in June as well, I saw a lot of new names that I haven't met before here so I will have to look for you all!

Done

So you will be at the World the same time as I am (June 4-8), although I will be staying at an All Star with over 100 teens (I'm being told 185 are going now).

Care to switch with me?

We are FINALLY having a chaperone meeting tonight, so I will find out exactly where we are staying, what airline we are flying and the time.

Dee - LOVE your vacation photos!

Dee, can you add us to the BOG list when you update it again? We will be checking in August 20th!

Thanks and back!

I'll gladly add you to the list!

BC? What is your checkout day?

Sorry about that!

I too LOVE good coffee (I mean I REALLY Love it), but WDW is such a special place for me................a place to GET AWAY. I was horrified when McD's moved in, and now this.......

Now I better duck, or I'll get a Tall Latte thrown at my head!!!
