Continuing on.....
This was our fourth time staying at BC. We just love it. And each time we stay, we love it that much more. I guess I am just waiting for something to happen for me to decide to give another resort a try, but each stay just gets more and more magical for us. My kids, 19 and 21, absolutely love the place. Each time we come back, they are at different ages and so they are discovering more things to do that they never tried before. For my newly "legal" son, this included drinking his way around World Showcase, and hanging out with his new best friend, Rocky the pool waitress!!! Every afternoon he planted himself on a chair at SAB, and sampled the best that Hurricane Hannah's had to offer.
So, speaking of SAB....We are "rope-droppers". Every morning, we are the first one's in the park, and probably some of the first one's to leave. We either grab a sandwich in the park, or head out and eat at the pool, so we can relax all afternoon and go back out at night. In the heat of the day, we like to sit and relax and nap or whatever, and not be anywhere near crowds or lines. This means that we don't get to the pool until around 1:00 everyday.
We did not have one problem finding chairs at SAB during our stay. We did see TONS of chairs covered in towels.....with no one sitting in them for HOURS. One afternoon, we asked someone sitting near a couple of towel-covered chairs if anyone was sitting there. She said that they left an hour before, so we simply removed their towels. No one ever came back. There was a gentleman going around with a cart a couple of times, collecting towels that were lying around without any other belongings. NICE!! I honestly think some people just leave their towels without realizing there is a place to drop them.
We bought pool noodles for the lazy river, and it was a blast floating around on them. Before we left, I had every intention of adding them to the existing noodle families, but time was running out, so the CL staff said they would give them to a family with kids who were checking in!
We never had a problem getting drinks. If Rocky wasn't around, there were two other waitresses taking orders. The bartenders seemed very excited about the HH rehab, saying it was going to be "amazing". Here is a picture of the rehab notice they have at the bar:
The slide was working, and the kids were loving it!!
One afternoon was particularly hot so we strolled over to check out the YC and had a drink in the Crew's Cup lounge....loved this place!
We could definitely see ourselves staying here if our beloved BC wasn't available....
All in all, we just love the whole experience of walking around the Boardwalk, the promenade near the Y&B, etc. The proximity to Epcot is so incredibly EASY!!
OK....to be continued.....
