As the Ticker Turns~The next chapter of the Resort Changers Saga...*RC trips pg.238

[sjs314]

My 9 year old son cracked heads with another boy jumping into the pool this evening and is now in the ER with DH. He has a broken nose and possibly further facial injury.

Any positive thoughts sent this way would be much appreciated.

Oh sending good thoughts for your DS : hug:

I did a rather large post yesterday morning which seems to have disappeared ugh

Sarah great idea I will be BWI Nov 28-Dec 3

Have to go back and catch up now : wave:

Pas Your trips are little shorter, less frequent and you have some mouths to feed. You also don't eat at TS. It's probably a better fit for you than for us.

What got me rethinking Club level is when I started looking at the offerings at GF. WL, YC, BW and BC don't even compare. I'm not a person that need to be pampered. I like Cl for the food and drinks. I also think the Poly CL is worth it because of the location, and the awesome lounge. I will stay Cl at GF or Poly sometime over the next year. I tried to switch my Wl to GF cl, but it wasn't available. If the Ap discounts are 35-40%...

I know it...and I was rethinking for Dh & I...we realy don't NEED CL. So then I started thinking non CL at the resort I really want....so I called to check Poly & GF (GF CL hasn't been available last 2 calls...so I figured don't ask, no worries) The wait was over 30 min, and DH came home, you had to see his face. Then I looked at BC pics at work and figured I'll stay put.....this morning I called, to ask for Poly, there was a 3min wait....I was giving baths, so I put speaker phone on....1 min later.....Kaitlyn Marie answered....a sign????? (this is DD6's name)...let's recap my call

Me:Good morning, I'd like to check availibility at the Polynesian or Grand Floridian for my dates, please?

KM: The GF is my favorite resort (do you see where this is going?) Did you want Concierge?

Me: I really should keep the BC, we don't need concierge.

KM: BC is my second favorite resort. Jeanette, can I tell you what we have available at the GF?

Me: Oh boy, OK, yes, please tell me....

KM: We have a Deluxe King Room in the Main Building available

Me: Ugh....can I tell you what happened last time I booked that room, what else is available....

KM: Outer Building LV & Outer building TPV. But, the Main building isincredible, and the discount you have can't be beat.

Me: You're killing me. Do it, make the change.

KM: It's meant to be, I am so happy for you, it will be a magical trip

Me: It better be or my hubby will kill me


There you have it......I never did ask about the Poly...I am hopeless....

I'm impressed too - but it's more a case of my TA not letting me forget lol.

You'll get a discount! And at AKL CL, with a discount it may be less than $300 a nt!

Okay, here's the plan. I am going to plan to post each day a list of what I have for the WDW vacations for the RC family!
Our RC QUEEN Jeanette still rules...I thought as one her her royal subjects I could just help out!

I'll post the page of the updated list on our title so we can keep up...you have taken on the hardest job of all.....keeping up with us....wen I start the new thread I'll text you so you can post on the 1st page and edit as needed

So, my dearest Sarah....

Aug 9th-12th ASSp/GF RPC Deluxe King

Which rules out Sept for us...cha-ching

I won't be cool in another week or two when they are shipping them by the 100's.

Always cool to me

I love this. I actually was setting mine up and remembered that you had pre-ordered yours and would be getting it today too! Had to stop by and see if you posted. So nifty and light. Still trying to arrange it how my old one was set up, I fear that'll take a bit of getting used to for me.

If all the cool kids have one, I want one too

The weather is not too hot... I hope.

We did last week of May, and it was HOT. But summer is HOT! You can do Flower & Garden which is super neat! Not super crowded in May like Summer I don't think. And time flies on this thread. Congrats on your latest change

We are at BC same time as you are at YC! I just changed mine today! I debated Poly for a couple of hours. Then I priced AofA. That only saved me about $400 once I upgraded the dining plan and I think the BC location is worth the $400.

Add me to the list please - BC - oct 2 - 8.

I think BC is worth the $400 as well. Although did you se AoA is the #1 Orlando hotel on TripAdvisor! Made me want to book it!

We got home from the shore about an hour ago. I went through all my mail an packages (of which there were many! lol) and our new ME packet came as well as our packet. Woohoo! I still think its weird we get a packet even though we have a room only. Being a TA sure can be confusing.

Welcome home...good luck at he follow up appt sis

My 9 year old son cracked heads with another boy jumping into the pool this evening and is now in the ER with DH. He has a broken nose and possibly further facial injury.

Glad DS i home, ICE and Tylenol! SO scary! Bree accidentally broke my nose with her noggin OUCH! I feel for your DS! Hope today is a better day!

We just got back from our pediatric offices after hours because DD8 came home complaining of chest and stomach pain?!?! Turns out to be a combo of slight constipation and some acid reflux...likely due to the giant ice cream cone she ate after lunch today....

It's always something....

Bring tums to WDW.....5 days Candace Glad DD is feeling better today

I told DS when he picks my nursing home he owes me BIG TIME.

This is why we need several kiddos. One of them HAS to take care of us right???

Thank goodness! You know, the RC pixie dust IS industrial strength.

It really is!!!!!!

I did a rather large post yesterday morning which seems to have disappeared ugh

That stinks It's not easy keeping up here, is it?

Good Morning All!

We can do that!!! Hey, you owe us 2 pics tomorrow morning young lady

GF RPC!!!!!!
Woohooo!!! How did I know that would come into play????

So....no laughing ladies.....

for our April 2013 trip....trying to decide between booking POFQ or POR-RGR...I know it will probably change a bazillion times but I want to book before we leave, so......which one????

DH and I have a feeling that DFIL is going to back out of this trip....POFQ was more for him....if it's just us POR-RGR would be great...and if we get a renewed Military discount for next year, it will likely be AKL CL!!!!

But...what should I book first??? go!

 

[disneydreamin247]

Okay you guys are giving me a heart attack. I thought Candace was posting about not needing CL. I was gonna drive up there and smack some sense into her! Then I saw it was Jeanette. Once I saw that I knew it wouldn't last long anyway.

Candace WOOOOHOOO for 5 days! I think once you get bitten by that CL bug you may not be able to go back!


I'm procrastinating getting ready for this appointment. I am so tired and really don't want to go to the wake right after.

I would book AKL CL, that's the most likely to sell out first...then if you have to switch POR will definitely be available No laughing Candace, you have to start planning 2013 so you won't suffer the post vacation blues...it's very important..

Yes...my nemesis the RPC Deluxe King...I'll need we don't get walked....if we do it will be over to th KKC!

Okay you guys are giving me a heart attack. I thought Candace was posting about not needing CL. I was gonna drive up there and smack some sense into her! Then I saw it was Jeanette. Once I saw that I knew it wouldn't last long anyway. .

Candace will get spoiled most definitely!

Good luck at Lily's appt...sorry you have a wake later

I am excited about our whole pending CL experience!!!

You'll be spoiled for life, even worse...so will the Princesses

 

[basketlacey]

pas - woohooo for GF! So wait - did you or didn't you book CL? I am still confused with all the acronyms.

Do you want to wait until you are there and book a BB room? FWIW, I think the new POR RR are gorgeous! We can't fit in them but if we could I would definitely want to stay in those.

I booked ADRs this morning! 3 new places (Cape May, Teppan Edo and Kona) and 3 old faves (CP, Via Napoli and Yak and Yeti). I want to add a signature meal but my first two choices aren't available so I will keep looking (Cali Grill or Narcoossee's). I also really wanted Ohana but no availability. I guess that is what happens when you take forever to make up your mind LOL. I have a feeling there will be a lot of changes still on these.

Sorry...yes RPC is the Main building club level

Yeah for ADRs!!!! hannah is doing ADRs today too!

 

[Lillian Gracey]

With Cali Grill not being available during my trip and BoG isn't available yet I don't know what to book. I don't want to make too many ADRs. Especially since I don't want to work my trip around them. I was thinking about doing one TS meal. I want to try something at one of the Epcot resorts or a monorail resort. Any suggestions? I am somewhat a picky eater so I will have to look at menus before making the reservation, but I want to know what you ladies like or what you think I will like.

If a BB was offered for next year, that would be great!!! But, I think in July, they are still only offered for the remainder of 2012.

I also have AP's, which I keep forgetting about those possible discounts! Decisions, decisions...and since April is DD8 "Birthday Trip"...she wants GF...

Those girls and their birthday trips

Last August the BB was FD forthis Summer...you never know....

DH is super picky, we don't do a lot of TS...BUT O'hanas is yummy, and so is GF cafe. I have heard great things about Citricos and Narcoosees as well. DH and I ate at Captain's Grille at YC for dinner, but it wasn't much to write home about..but the Yachtsmans also gets great reviews...you want dinner right? Breakfast, I don't think you can make a bad choice, we liked all the Character Breakfasts

Between POFQ and POR-RGR I would book the royal room and not even think twice. But throwing in AKL CL now that might be a different story. So we know your DDs are little princesses but how do they feel about animals? See once again I'm really no help!!!

LOL!!! They like animals...but like their momma, aren't ga-ga over them...you know...they're animals...
AKL is more of a choice for DH, because he LOVES animals, and really wants to stay at AKL.

You know what??? I am vowing not to book until I am 100% certain of where we want to stay...

ETA::::: WHOA!!! That was my 3000th post!!!!! I just realized that!!!!

Hi GG,

Isn't there something in the Resort Changers bylaws that allows us to be 100% certain*


*until hanging up the phone from our CRO call.

HI

Just throwing this out there but there's a rumor that I may be in Bangor MI next year for my DH's high school reunion .... if so maybe a lunch while he is running around with all his old buddies??? We don't have any details yet. I'm hoping to stay in South Haven ... love the beach there.

Section 3 subsection5: RCers are allowed to exclaim 100% certainty, this however guarantees another RC is soon to follow

100% certain .... now there's a laugh if I every heard one!!!

I've made changes in the same call

LOL!!! They like animals...but like their momma, aren't ga-ga over them...you know...they're animals...

Congrats on 3000! I am not a die hard Animal lover. But the theme can't be beat, and you really feel like you are in another continent.....and there's CL....win-win

That would be very fun! I just did a brief mapquest, Bangor is about 45 minutes away. Let me know if your plans work out-lunch would be great!
