Wow! have not been on the boards in almost a week and BAM , I am far behind
DH and I returned Monday night from a 3 night stay at BC 8/3-8-6. We had added a day to check out on 8/7 but an emergency with one of our dogs so we packed up early and went home.
Anyway, here is a little review for you. We requested a full balcony and king room hoping to get 2573 like last time but no kings available with balcony so we had a 2 queen room 4542. The room was fine just not as spacious as the king room and the room is pretty far away from everything. On the plus we were steps away from the stairwell that leads to that back pathway steps away from Epcot
We also enjoyed our balcony in the mornings, evenings and during the afternoon rain.
We went mainly for time at SAB and relaxation. We arrived Friday morning and checked in at 10:30 and our room was ready. We went right down to SAB and relaxed until about 3:30 when the rain came. It did not last long. We went to the room showered and then wandered around Epcot. That night we walked around the Boardwalk and over to DHS just to wander around.
Sat. We did a.m EMH at DHS and rode TSM and got a fastpass for later. We also rode RR and DH got a coffee mug at the StarWars store. We then headed to SAB around 10:30 where we hung out until the rain came. It was funny because it came and we hung around for a while waiting for it to end. We thought it was over and went back into SAB grabbed new towels and chairs and set up camp again.. We just entered the pool when the skies just opened up. DH ran to rescue our phone and books. I was drenched. Back to the room to shower and then we had coffee on the balcony. It rained for a couple hours but it was no big deal. We relaxed, explored the resort, stopped by the Crew Cup lounge and watched some Olympic coverage. When they rain stopped we headed to France and grabbed dinner at the bakery. Brie and turkey on a baguette
After dinner we did some shopping and then we headed to SAB for a night swim. This was awesome. SAB was so empty and we could just in the pool and relax.
Sunday it was all about SAB. Had Breakfast at Captain's Grill and it was fantastic. I highly recommend
We chilled all day at SAB until the rain. What a fantastic day
While going to dinner we got a call from my sister that our dog was sick, lethargic and not really doing anything. WE told her to take her to the ER vet. My sister was in a panic. DH and I decided to try to change our flight and cancel our Monday night reservation which we did. Changing the flights was the hardest and we did not know until Monday about 2pm that we were leaving at 3:30ish for MCO. We were at SAB when were finally able to get seats on the flight. We had half packed so we went back to the room finished packing, rushed around trying to get everything finalized, got a voucher for ME and were off. Disney was great working with us and our changes. They did everything they could to help us.
We were sad to leave but our dogs are our children so we were not going to sit at a pool with a sick dog at home. Apparently our dog went on a hunger/water strike while we were gone. She spent a couple nights at the doggy hospital getting IV fluids. We brought her home Tuesday and have spent the last few days monitoring her and getting her healthy again. She is almost back to her normal self again. The cooler temps are helping.
All in all we had a fantastic last minute trip. We were unable to meet Princess Lily because we had to leave Monday but otherwise everything was awesome. I love SAB and really want to make my backyard into a miny version of this complete with HH and Rocky the pool server
Hope you guys had a great time, we are at the airport headed home.
We spend a good bit of time hanging at the pool, ordering drinks and snacks and lazing the day away.
