And these are the {Resort} Changes of our Lives ~In Memory of JungleCruiser <3

[Mousemommy1]

to our newest Resort Changers! I hope everyone affected by Nemo is doing alright.

I got way behind DISing this weekend, but managed to find time to make a change. I am still holding on to FWC, just a little less since I added AKL CL and an extra night up front. I would have done this in reverse with CL at the end, but the military 40% off is blacked out after 3/25. So the first 3 nights are AKL CL (40%) and the final 5 are FWC (20% - my lowest discount ever, but better than nothing). And, I discovered that FWC guests can use Sturdy Branches at WL, so I'm a happy camper!

In my best Ahnold voice - I'll be back...

Kook: This sounds great!!

So.... our summer camping trip has turned back into a trip to Boston...and although we haven't booked our hotel in the city yet, we did order Red Sox tickets!! DH is pumped! I think we will drive down, spend a night on the way, 2-3 nights in the city, and another night on the way home.

Yes the camping didn't last long, I know!

Have a great Monday, hope you have all dug out of the snow and are no longer stuck.

Sounds like a good trip. I had no clue what Sturdy Branches was, so I had to Google it. That's awesome that you will be able to use it.

Sounds like a great trip!! Hopefully, we'll make it to a Texas Rangers game this season. I was able to get playoff tickets this last season, but the DH didn't want to pay what they were asking for them.

At BWI they have the daybed where the back pulls down and makes a twin sized bed (like at the monorail resorts). At BC/YC I have gotten rooms with no daybed, the pull down daybed, and daybed that is basically a couch that you can sleep on if you pull off the back cushions and is much smaller then the other kind.

I agree with GG that snacks/mug refills are much easier at BC.

Don't know much about the balconies at BWI but I remember being on the Boardwalk and looking up. The rooms over the Boardwalk Bakery have standing room only balconies.

As pas said, YC will get you a full balcony.

I didn't know that about BWI....thanks!!!

So just off phone with BFF (our daughters are BFF's too) she owns at AKL and is going 2/24-3/1 we are booked 2/25 pop then 2/25-3/5 YC CL
Of course kids already asking if they can go to parks together and swim together. So this is making me consider split AKL/YC

Has anyone done this split?

Never done that split but I loved AKL That's cool your daughters are BFFs as well !!!

Just not into early morning having to go out on the Boardwalk .... feel like I have to be totally presentable for the world but for some reason if I just have to run downstairs to the gift shop area I don't feel I have to be as pulled together. Crazy .... right?

Not crazy Mama

Just thought I would pop in before starting my homework and say hello. Since my online class was down on Friday, I have to do school work today.

nice to see a few familiar people here!



Thanks for the welcome!

Happy to have ya!!!!

That would be neat!!! How far is Sheila from Boston...Janet and I keep threatening to go visit her

 

[DetTigsGal]

Pas~ I cannot be that far from Sheila, so if you ever make that trip...
I am 3 hours from Boston

I think that would be great!

So one of the things I have been contemplating for weeks now is the possibility of upgrading to club level or even a deluxe club level room for part of our trip in May. I hesitate to do it just yet as it is a lot of money and worry if we had something happen financially between now and then I'd have to downgrade and be charged a fee to change.

Just wondering if it's a big deal to make the change when we check in. Just for the last few nights of our trip most likely. Would prefer to do it and stay at BC but if they didn't have club level available there would consider switching over to another Epcot resort.

Of course that is assuming YC, BC or BW will still have club level available after arrival. Anyone done this before or know if CL fills up at all of these resorts in regular season? I would assume they wouldn't all be full, but I know the deluxe CL rooms are pretty limited.

Thanks!

 

[pas130]

I think that would be great!

Me too!!! Janet and I (and Sarah ) wanted to take a road trip ever since Sheila's DS Shawn passed away...our schedules just I've never been up that way, and I'm not far either...I can finally try out that Poly punch recipe....it makes 3 gallons...Janet and I will be like Moonshiners

We are going to the July 24 game...Wednesday night. But we are sitting in the bleachers...sec 36 I think. Second to last cheapest seats!! We are looking at the Omni Parker hotel to stay in, not too many will hold the 5 of us.

Ooooh....DH just stayed at the Omni Parker last year for a bachelor's party. He really liked it.

Hmmmm...that's the weekend between DH and my birthday's....we don't have tickets for that week, but I'm sure that could be fixed....

We've only gotten tickets for 2 games so far this season, but we usually hit about 4...

This is potentially exciting!! So the hotel got a good review from your DH? It is not cheap but looks very cool and full of history. DH said he read somewhere that the 3rd floor is haunted!?!? We like that kind of stuff!

VERY historic, and yes, I have heard...haunted...

They have an amazing restaurant on-site as well. You should have a wonderful stay!

Nice.We should keep in touch about all this!

Pas: is right. See how all over the map I am? I have lost my wallet in the past couple of days about 3 times (then found it...) and keep jumping from one trip to the other. DH told me yesterday I was giving him a migraine. "I know you love all this, but I can't take it anymore!" he said. Ooopsie.

Happy Monday to all of you. I have missed LOTS of things, it appears.

What a long weekend. I believe I need a vacation to recover...

Janet & Jeanette: You two make me laugh my butt off, seriously... got a text from Janet (albeit late because my phone was dead) and Jeanette's post about changing my dates to a couple days letter. Full-court press, you two. Never say never! It gives me something to do anyway... I'll be perusing the school calendar.

GG: Samwise is flippin' ADORABLE! Thanks to Christine for posting that pic.

Candace: Ahhhh, look at those gorgeous little snow angels! Did they tire of playing in the snow over the weekend? You're my short pal at 5'3" ... though I tower over you with my extra 2". Us Oompa Loompas have to stick together.

2 parties. Not insane. Awesome. Even moreso if it helps to get that Holiday trip in. I'm thinking we will be needing to get that one last hurrah out of our APs which exprire 1/4/14 so maybe we can be resort buddies again.

My sorta-plan is doing MK on two party nights and possibly DHS (Miss M's favourite) which will use only one day of our NE tickets. Spending the rest of the time touring resorts, possibly. That'd leave 3 days on the NE tickets and that's the same amount of park time we did back in January. Ooooo, resort buddies! Think you all might be going at the same time next year?!

Jen: Your hubs is being the voice of reason! Sounds like something my hubs'd do. We've kinda shied away from the PHs in the past for the reasons you mentioned. I almost got them this last time due to us knowing we'd be at either BC or YC. Though to be honest, with the exception of one evening, we never really felt we would have benefited from them. I'm sure when Miss M gets older, that'll change though. We decided against the AP tickets last year for exactly the thing Padawans said, you kinda feel obligated to go and get your money's worth... with me and my commitment issues. ( Too many ADRs come to mind )

Magic: Will you be regaling us with pics of the Deluxe room? (To make me wish I had booked that instead of just the regular garden view? ) Can't wait to hear how you like it. Have you stayed in the wing before? Coming up very soon...

Kook: AKL-CL? Shouldn't that be "AKL-CL Until the CR Bug Comes to Bite"? Where's Heather when we need her? She's always good at the AKL-CL convincing.

How are our other snow bunnies doing? Sheila, DetTigsGal, Pumba, Debrn? How much snow did you get, Dani? Sheila, I hope they've come to dig your driveways out today.

to all the new RCers. It's always fun to have new "faces" to chit-chat with.

oompa loompas!!!!

The girls did not last long outside. On Saturday, I think it was about 17 minutes...It was 15 degrees outside...DD6 literally had some icicles on her eyelashes.
Yesterday though, they lasted about an hour before coming in and demanding hot chocolate.

 

[Missoutandabout]

Wookie: My was omitted from the previous reply. That's all for BC, by the way. Because I can't do that enough for BC. Did you ever find a way to get the DisBoards app on your Kindle?


~~------------------------~~

So, what do you experts think about kids at California Grill? (Sorta related, Miss M had a really nice time at Bluezoo.) I might-maybe try for an ADR at CG on our arrival night.

Playing in the snow and hot chocolate. That's the best combo. I miss those days!

What is wrong with you, Chicagoland?! Most we've had all winter is 4" and it rained all day yesterday so it's melted already.

 

[Janet B]

Catching up with you all!! and my eye did catch "road trip" and "moonshine" Back to that soon!!

Janet B- I can't post pics on here. I have some on fb...if you pm me I can either friend you or text you some.

Thanks for texting me your pix!! there's just something so beautiful about a snow storm... am I crazy but I love a good one!
