Anyone Up For a Little MAYcation?!! A May 2012 WDW PTR with a side of.....

Poor them!!! I HATE feeling bad at WDW!! That's the worst! The year we went in May, me and my older son had the sinus junk before we left and our first 2 days were awful,...bless their hearts!!! Hope she liked Tonys---I have read some really bad reviews on here from others,but honestly, we have NEVER gotten anything that wasn't wonderful! Guess you just have to like the way they prepare it---def a personal pref!!!
 
Good Morning!

Well it's sad but today is their last day of vacation. :( ME picks them up bright and early tomorrow morning.:worried:

I can't believe it's been a week already. It went by so fast for me- I hope that it wasn't that fast for them.

I got a text very early from Shelly this morning- they were on the way to the MK and she sent a pic of the GF.:love:

Yesterday they hit DTD and did some shopping. I can't wait to see what all she bought!!popcorn::

Hope everyone is having a good weekend so far!
 
Hard to believe they are coming home tomorrow, this week did seem to go by fast.:(
 
I was just thinking that I couldn't believe today was their last day already. It does seem to have flown by this time. Last year, their trip seemed to last forever! I sure hope they've had a good time and got to do all they wanted to do.
 

Awww, I missed all the pre-trip excitement. Thanks Jodi for keeping us updated. I hope they had a great time in Disney!
 
Oh, I hate the last full day!! It makes me sooo sad!!!! I hope they have a wonderful, wonderful last full day!!!! It seems when we are the ones at home the week really does fly by--I guess cuz we are busy doing our daily grind, and when we think about it, the day is over,...It does fly by when your there too, but not like this!!!
 
Well Shelly if you're reading this then you're home. I know it's hard to come back and get adjusted to the real world so we'll all be here to listen to your complaints.
:hug:

I hope the trip gave you a little time to relax after the crazy past few months you've had.

And I hope that the weather in PGH is now headed into summer temps and not much rain.

As sad as I am for your trip to be over, I'm selfishly happy you're back--- I'm bored! :)

Now get that laundry done and come back and entertain me!! :rotfl:
 
PS...

Look my ticker....
It's still there and it's still moooooving!! ;)
 
Shelly...hope you had a good, headache-free flight home!
Jo,...I was reaaally planning on PMing you and helping pass your days,..but lawsa mercy...this has been an unbelievable week as far as being sooo busy...sorry! I know it was hard for you!!
 
Hello everyone :wave:


We are back. :sad: Wow what a fast week. It really did fly by.

We had a great time! :goodvibes I wouldn't exactly say it was our best vacation ever, it had it's ups and downs. But we had a lot of fun!! Boy was it HOT. :faint: I would swear it was hotter and way more humid than it was last year in August. Wasn't ready for that. Then I was sick for a few days. Nothing terrible, but it's sure not fun being sick at WDW. And unfortunately the BC is not for us. Very beautiful resort, but just a little too much going on there for us. :crazy2: We found ourselves hanging out over at the BWI in the evenings to get away from all the chaos at the BC/YC.

We had lots of adventures, lots of good food, and lots of new experiences! :cool1:


Thanks for keeping everyone updated Jo!! :) Love to see that ticker movin'! ;)




So what's going on around here? What's everyone been up to? Any new trips planned??? I feel so out of the loop! :upsidedow
 
Shelly. :welcome: Home !!!

Sorry to hear BC is not your ideal resort. I know when we stayed at YC SAB was so busy we never used it, instead opting for the quiet pool.

Can not wait to hear all about your trip!

Check my new Ticker. We got a good deal on airfare so we are headed back. First time I ever bought air fare before booking a room :rotfl:

Thanks Sheila!

That's kind of how it was for us - SAB was a zoo. Just not very relaxing.

Love the new ticker!! Congrats on the good deal on airfare, that is awesome! :cool1:
 
Welcome home Shelly! Can't wait to hear about your trip! Sorry you had to be sick part of the time and the BC wasn't for you - I guess you'd never know unless you tried, right?
Hope you're all better and getting back in the swing of things!
 
welcome back Shelly!!!
sorry to hear about the sickness. what a bummer! I remember one trip when DS10 got sick on the ferry over to MK- we turned right around and went back to the resort that day.
to bad about the BC- it's my favorite.
can't wait to hear all about it!

Thanks Sheree! :)

That's right -- you never know until you try something for yourself!

Feeling somewhat better. Buried in laundry right now. :faint:

Thank you! :goodvibes

It is a real bummer not feeling well on vacation. It could have been worse though I suppose. We made it through!!
 
Yay! You're back! It sure is dull around the Dis when you're gone! I hate the trip flew by, but I'm glad you're back too.

I am shocked to hear you didn't care for the BC! :faint: Now I am dying to know all the details! The BC has always been at the very top of my list so I am all ears waiting to find out what the deal was with it.

I really hate it was so hot for you too. It was REALLY hot and humid here all this past week but now it's cooled off again. I guess it was a fluke thing. :sad2: That's always something I worry about when traveling to Florida. You just never know what you're going to get with the weather.

And what a bummer that you got sick! Being sick on vacation is the worst! I'm so sorry you had to deal with that. Sounds like you just had one issue after another. I'm encouraged though to hear that you had some good food and some new adventures! :thumbsup2 Can't wait to hear about all of that!

So I know you just got back, but what are you thinking about for the next trip? I know you guys usually only go once a year, so do you think you'll go again next spring or try a different time. Sounds like you enjoyed going more in the summer. Or are you still hashing out something totally different for your big 2013 adventure? Just curious about your thoughts.
 
Welcome Home Shelly!!! We have missed you around here!

So sorry to hear that the BC isn't for you- but that's the great thing about WDW, there is something for everyone and you can try somewhere new (or a resort you have previously stayed at) next time!!:thumbsup2
That's a bummer it was so hot- I remember from our past May WDW trips that it was very hot that time of year!!
Can't wait to hear all about your trip! I can make ADR's for our November trip next week!:cool1:

Hey Rinky!! I have to tell you I thought about you this week -- when I walked by the Little Mermaid show in DHS...:lmao::rotfl2:;)

We were quite surprised with our lack of love for the BC ourselves. :confused3 I hate to go into too great of detail about things, because I know so many people on here love the BC and will get very insulted hearing bad things about it. We just had some room issues & mousekeeping issues. And just a personal thing -- we just didn't care for the atmosphere all that much. The pool was always loud & crowded. We just felt like we could never really relax.

You guys might really like it -- I know you like the water park feel, so you would probably enjoy it! It just wasn't for us.

It was HOT. :faint: Crazy hot. But we dealt with it pretty well for the most part. I would rather it be warm outside when I don't feel well than cold.

And like I said -- we had some new 'firsts' and lots of good meals. Lots to tell! ::yes::

As for future plans.........all I will say right now is that there was a very nice BB offer in our room............:rolleyes1

Thanks Lauren! :goodvibes

That's right - while the BC may not be for us, it is good for a lot of people! :thumbsup2 And now we know.

It was very hot. :crazy2:

YAY for making ADR's soon!! :cool1: You'll have to let me know what you get. ::yes::
 
Welcome Home Shelly! Sounds like we were lucky to have cooler, wetter weather while we were at the BC. SAB was very quiet while we were there.

I can't wait to hear about your trip! I started my TR yesterday if you want to come join in!
