Sugar loaf is being renovated right now and RPC is scheduled to be renovated in July.

Does this affect Sept. CL arrivals?

 

[MommyGina]

Gitts2008 - SL should be done on Monday. I think I read here that is when reservations opened up.

Hi everyone! Hope everyone's Saturday is going great.
Blue...You are going to be a regular at Ohana now. I'm glad you got the reservation.

On Tuesday, it will be the 2 week mark for our trip to Disney. As of right now, TA at AAA still doesn't have our travel documents. This has never happened to us before. Anyone else having issues? All I want are my docs for the GF and Disney! I'm frustrated.

TA called Disney and they said there was a delay. I want to know what caused delay. You think if I called Disney that they would tell me?

Hmmm...that is strange. We are 26 days out and got our docs in the mail about 2 weeks ago. I hope you get them soon.

Hope you are enjoying your trip! Can't wait to see pics.

Thanks! We are going in September. Can you tell me more about tea time?

2:30pm they bring out scones, jam and cream. Also mini tarts and trifle gets put out too there is a video on allears of CL offerings.

It's our voucher for DME, voucher for GF, and voucher for disney laser quest.

Huh I never knew you needed a voucher for the resort itself. I hope your package arrives soon. Who needs stress now when you should be doing the "almost time" happy dance.

Thanks Baler!

The lounge colors are lovely!

I see the missing make up mirror, and nestle table at desk

The make up mirror is magnifying and lit, very nice. We have the old TV cabinet and blue armchair and ottoman, seems they had no replacements for those. There are 8 very tiny and shallow drawers. Lovely end and coffee table in the sitting area but does not have glass tops, this will quickly be ruined when guests sit drinks on them without the glass. The marble tops on the desk and new tv/fridge/dresser are very functional.

There are a lot of outlets on the new dresser as well as the desk and bedside table. Really wish they had made the vanity area more functional with a shelf below or something and I seriously hate the coffee pot on the vanity.

I am in room now and will try to post the photos. The cast members have been great and I know there was a lot of work involved in closing the RPC lounge after breakfast today and getting this one set up this afternoon. As previously reported the food in lounge seems a bit lighter. The platters are smaller although they are replenished. Many of the things we have previously enjoyed have not made appearances. The children's selection of smores is new to us and we usually see PB & J shooters, corn dog nuggets etc instead of a dessert type offering.

Unlike reports at some of the resorts the wine, beer, cordials are self serve.
