[abk96]

BlueSkies...Have a great trip next month and don't forget your pen and paper. Thanks!! Looking forward to hearing about your trip.

 

[BlueSkies]

I read the blog regarding the offerings in CL. Chocolate covered strawberries are mentioned! I think I read before that they were no longer being offered.

Glad about the make up mirror still in the sink area. Thanks BLUE for checking.

Anyone have flip flop weather today? It's 44 degrees and pouring rain here.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news MommyGina..especially GF bad news... ..but at our last visit I was told that they were no longer serving chocolate covered strawberries...Not sure how current the list is..or..maybe they are being offered again!??

BlueSkies...Have a great trip next month and don't forget your pen and paper. Thanks!! Looking forward to hearing about your trip.

Thanks abk I won't forget...lol...I'm equal to the task ... I look forward to hearing about everyones up coming trips too..It's the next best thing to being there!

MickeyNut I was happy that the mirror is not gone... ... DD and I always put it to good use! And I see many other do too... it really is a nice amenity...

grannieminnie Whatcha up to this morning?? Packing maybe...

Hope that everyone has a terrific Thursday!

Ferrentinos, it's the 7th post prior to this post. Wdwluxuryguide has the detailed write up that lists food offerings CL.

How did I miss that?? Sorry!

I have found out this thread is so quick---if you blink---you'll miss something! ie:there IS a makeup mirror! Yay!

Miners Wanted!!!!

If you go to Disney Parks and go to 7 DMT ride in attraction section there is a rectangle you click on in the picture of the ride. It will ask you some questions then give you a dwarf name.

I got GEEKY

Very true!
Now I have IPO working hard for us - trying to move our Illuminations Dessert Party and our Fantasmic! Dinner package so that we are able to attend the new Harambe Nights Party in July! Hopefully they will come through!!!

 

[davale4]

What a wonderful surprise!!! and what a good secret keeper...I don't think I would be able to do it that ...It sure will be worth it tho....Please come back and let us know how the surprise went!!

I'm usually very good at keeping things secret, but I have to admit this one has been very hard to keep. I haven't told DH about the refurb either, so that will be another surprise. Hmmmm I wonder what is going to be his reaction The kids don't know about the trip at all, but DD has seen the new room pics. Yes....it's been hard to keep all these little surprises .

Anybody get the phone call from their DVC rep today? We were over at GFLO DVC on Friday, very tempting; kinda ironic how we get home from WDW on Sun and they call on Thursday. ;-) ( Love those gps tracking AP Disney bands :-D)

Anyway GFLO looked great! Had a great dinner at Narcoossees! Stollis vodka yum with a view of the castle.

How nice that you got to enjoy some time at the GF...and dinner at Narcoosees.. ...I agree the new VGF is very tempting...As for the GPS in the MBs..Don't even want to think about that...

~ Still checking to hear any news of FPP for SDMT...

It was available earlier this morning on the web version only, not available on the app. A little after 9am the whole system crashed. I saw an announcement that in just a bit over 2 hours that 50,000 7DMT FP's had been booked.

MDE has been a wreck all morning. You can thank the Disney Visa Free Dining released this AM for that. Some people have had all their FP+s disappear from their account, incorrect info, unable to make FP+ reservations, etc. I have heard it is slowly getting better but still acting wonky every once in a while.

 

[bama belle]

I was finally able to book ours for 5/31 and 6/6. It took a LONG time and lots of patience, but I finally got them!!

I did not even realize that the TTA was supposed to be down while we are there! If it's not closing until 6/2, then we'll have a chance to ride it our first night there(5/31)! I'm so glad I saw your post!
