I just upgraded from YC Standard View to YC GV CL! This will be a surprise to DH for our trip in October. I also added an extra day
We've stayed at YC twice before, but only SV. What specific room requests could I make? We wouldn't be concerned with having a room far from the elevator, just want the best view/room for my "splurge"
Thanks for all of the great ideas and chatter! Helps the 158 days move a little faster!!
See, I consider leaving a messy house as a deterrent to burglars- when they peek through my windows, they will think the home has already been ransacked!

Happy Happy Birthday!!!
Happy Birthday and have fun next week
I missed the actual day, but hope you had a great birthday!

A messy house is the international symbol to all burglars that you have children!
I'd just like to point out that MANY of these flies DO NOT have ADR'S and hopefully will not be able to get into the restaurants. I know the Flies in my house made the call at 180 days out from their reservation and they couldn't even get Le Cellier or Be Our Guest at the MK! There was much grumbling amongst the flies because they "Always eat Counter Service" and were looking to upgrade their dining during vacation.
When flies go on vacation conventional wisdom (Or at least Ninja Mom wisdom) tells us that they always book the Deluxe Dining Package..... however many flies have not caught on that the best value for their 'Fly Dollar' is spent using this package with the 2 table service credit, hoity toity type of restaurants.
A perennial Fly favorite are the many buffets at WDW. Once the Flies get wind of the "all you care to eat" aspect of these establishments their little compound eyes roll back in their heads, which is really difficult for a fly if you think about it, and they start rubbing their legs together in anticipation.
No self respecting fly would book the cheapie, "Quick Service Dining Plan" as for Flies, this is a waste of money when they can just follow around all the drunks at the Food and Wine Festival (Another Fly favorite!!) and eat off of all the food they spill on the ground.
So essentially, what we have here, is that much like the tour groups and the cheer groups (and the drunk groups at Food and Whine), It is Fly season. Obviously Disney saw a financial opportunity and decided to piggy back the fly booking season onto the lovebug booking season and start a new trend amongst vacationing insects. It's a bugs life after all! Disney's only in it for the money so this is the only logical explanation....right?

I'll add you to the Be Our Guest list for the end of May.
There should be some links to menus for Hurricane Hanna's, I think the Marketplace (sandwiches, flat bread pizza, salads, grab and go sushi) and Beaches and Cream on Page 1, the Dining Post. Although B&C tends to be really crowded, as a solo diner you may be able to snag a seat at the counter without much wait.
The other thing, sort of suggested by others- enter EPCOT- have a light lunch at the French bakery, or fish & chips in UK or something from Sunshine Seasons, then when you are done, catch the monorail to the MK to get that first view of the castle.
Ride to and from BC/MK on the bus should be around 15 minutes, plus whatever wait you have for the bus if you choose to go that way.
We'll be there from the 29th to the 4th. If anyone sees a young couple-- girl with long, blonde hair probably piled on the back of her head, dragging around a guy with a goatee and probably a black t-shirt, feel free to say hi. 
Sorry if I missed anything. This thread moves quickly, doesn't it?
I didn't even think of Hurricane Hanna's. For some reason, I thought they mostly did burgers. Just checked out the menu on allears, and that grilled cheese with bacon sounds pretty good... So much for a "light" lunch.
Bummer.
