[tangled up]

Hi there, great PTR, your plans sound great!!

Camera, well I would choose SLR every time, you can never have too many photos from Disney world.

Plans are shaping up well.

Congratulations on your marriage xx

But... but... but, you were not going to renew your AP, I had to LOL you and your changes. I totally understand, good to know about the AARP I think I know someone who may qualify in a year

Did you see they are going to be cutting an hour out of the evening EMH !!!!! Not sure the start date but that stinks, I love the parks at night .

I remember reading from last year's F&W there was a really great deal on one of those "dining in the theatre" things. I'll have to see if I wrote it down, I remember thinking it was well worth the price with all of the wine, cocktails and courses. I think it was like $125 per person and that included gratuity. I know that seems like alot but it was a deal.

I am going to go look for that now.

I think I am renewing. Who knows. I might be going in February to cheer people on ofr the Princess half and will need tix then.
I have 7 years to go.
it starts in January. it is a bummer but what can you do.
I want to do the Italian lunch and wine. Party for the senses sounds nice but Vinny said no thanks.

Thank you.
I think that way too but just think of carrying it around everywhere. We will see.
Thanks. My plans are always changing. In fact made some changes today I need to post about.
Thank you. Almost 3 months strong. 11 1/2 years together.
Thanks for reading along.

Congrats on your wedding, although the two of you have been united MUCH longer !!!

And it would be great to score BCV or BWV for F&W

 

[Native NYer]

Oh you have no idea. More changes were made today but I need to write that part up still.
Thank you.
I think I might be done resort wise but adr's are another story.

Thanks.
It is true the later the bigger the delay. Yes we are. I love them.
Made some changes to that.

I said I was going to start on the morning of day 2 but some changes have occurred. Now we are booked for Art of Animation from 10/13-10/16 and then moving to either CSR or POR. As of today that changed.

We are now booked at Coronado Springs from 10/13-10/20. We discussed it and thought it was best to change once. This is also good because if Aubrey comes she will have her own bed.

We have also canceled the waitlist for Boardwalk. I did keep the Beach Club waitlist because it is the same dates as Saratoga Springs. So now it is Saratoga and Coronado and would you like to see proof why we chose CSR.

Here are some pics of the resort from our last trip in December 2008.

The outside area.

The walkway into the building. Picture it without Christmas decorations. LOL

When you exit through the back you come across. The door you go through. LOL. This is the door that leads to the restaurants.

You will see these guys out there.

Tables to sit out and eat or drink.

We will be eating at both of these places.

Anyone want to stop by and have a drink?

Now I had put a request in for building Casitas 3. I loved the location and it was close to everything.

This fountain was behind our building.

The quiet pool by the building which I believe is by building 4. The gym is also located here.

The other reason for the great location is the bus stop by building 3. This is first on.

The room was very nice but I have to remember the trick to the thermostat.

The door divider to the bathroom area.

The other reason for staying here, the grounds. It is so pretty and so relaxing.

The bridge in the middle of the property.

A great view.

So those are the reasons why we chose Coronado Springs Resort. I am really excited to go back there.

Up next,

Day 2 morning.

The resort looks great and relaxing, Bill doesn't care for the decor so I don't think we will ever stay there. He is addicted to the Boardwalk now .

 

[tazdev3225]

I have never stayed there and figured with the amount of time left you would have to change again. I'm happy with French Quarter, never stayed there before either. OK, I have only stayed at 3 resorts on property. I shall have to start trying others one day.

The resort is fun. I really liked it and so did Vinny and the buses were the best just hoping it remained that way.

I want to try every resort there and one day I will have done that. I hope.

I canceled the Boardwalk. The waiting for the waitlist was killing me so I said nope. I will jump for joy if Beach Club comes through. That pool is amazing.

What's planning without a few changes??? CSR is a nice resort!! I enjoyed it when I stayed there.

 

[Native NYer]

CSR is so beautiful! I can definitely see why you picked it.

 

[Charleston Princess]

CSR is so pretty, and I agree, the fewer moves, the better. You'll like being able to unpack and get settled in.

As far as changes go, I do have some idea I have heard NOTHING but glorious reviews on CSR so congrats!!!! And we have had 2 fantastic SSR stays, but I will keep fingers crossed for BCV!!! There's lots of room for changes between now and October.....but I'm sure you & DH are well aware

That is what I say too.
We enjoyed it also and the buses were great so here is to hoping for another good one.

it is. good experiences except for Vinny's food poisoning from the fruit he ate there but he said he will touch any of it.

it is. Yeah and I don;t want to be worrying if the luggage got to the new resort all the time.

No! not you.
Thanks, we are looking forward to it.
We have had 2 great stays at SSR also but would love to get the waitlist. I know I won't being it is during F&W.
Well resorts are done. I am sure of that unless they release an AP rate. Adr's I am looking at now.

 

[GeminiAngel]

Its such a nice looking resort. Thought about staying there, but I already live in the Southwest.

Pepper Market menu looks good.

I guess if you in it all the time you don;t want to vacation in it.

The menu is now a buffet for breakfast, lunch and dinner is a la carte. I think we might try the breakfast buffet.
