Well we are home from our 3 night stay at Wilderness and we had a blast. I am sick as a dog with some sort of I guess strep upper resp thingy. Thankfully didn't start feeling bad till the last night of the trip. Really wanted to hit the resort bar again before we left but just couldn't. The weather was just about as perfect as it gets here in Florida. We even swam in the pool which I never do this time of year unless its is at the Y in the 104 degree pool. The sun was very bright and no clouds in sky so I did get a slight sunburn. All of our meals were awesome. There were some things we tried at Food and Wine that I would never try again haha but at least we tried different stuff. We had ducks beg for food as we sat outside eatting. One even kept taping us on our leg. Reminded me of our dogs at home begging. There was nothing negative about this trip or the resort. Need some more days just to explore all there is to do at this resort. Archery anyone?? Only thing I can say that was negative and it really was more of an annoyance was the dang fan in the bathroom. It was on a sensor and everytime you walked into or by the bathroom it went off. And it would only stay on for a second. Was odd. So now back to the real world. Was nice going out to the parks and coming back to the room and it would be all nice and clean. That really spoiled me. Why can't that happen here?? hahhah Ok back to bed for me.

Glad you had a nice time, they have those same annoying fans at Kidani too...I hope to stay at WL on my next trip to Florida. Hope you feel better soon.

Welcome back! Glad to hear you had a good time- except for getting sick. The last few Disney trips we took, I always seemed to catch something. A cold, a month long sore throat/fever/no antibiotic would work illness, last month's trip I woke up in Disney puking with the chills. EW! I just think of all the germs in Disney and it skeeeeves me! I think I should fill myself up with Vitamin C a few weeks before our next trip!

Sorry for your loss

Very good idea! We always do that... I get grossed out flying w/all that re-circulated air. Who knows what you are being exposed to?!?
And don't forget your little hand sanitizer. Some of the really tiny ones fit in your pocket & weigh nothing.

I always carry my tiny hand sanitizer.......I guess it didn't work in Disney

 

[Poppinsme]

Hey everybody it's been awhile since I posted here. Just wanted to check in.

 

[lakelandgal70]

Yeah same here. I go on overkill with the hand washing. Unfortunatley the airborne germs you can't do anything about. What is funny is I saw an Asian lady in one of the parks wearing a cloth mask and I kinda chuckled. But now I don't think its too funny. She probably made it out of there not sick. And I take tons of vitamin C and other stuff. Guess it just was my turn to get sick.

Home from our 7 nights at Wilderness Lodge! Lakelandgal we really should have gotten together!

It was stupid cold Friday, Saturday, and later in the day on Sunday but we had a nice time. Couple of hiccups with some things at the Lodge but we met a wonderful CM who made magic happen like I have never seen at Disney. It really saved the trip for us.

Food and Wine has lost its appeal to us. The special foods were not all that special and the number of people who get disgustingly drunk there was just sick. We drink but these people were literally disgusting and what was so sad was how many had children with them. Had an ugly experience with a very drunk person at 'Ohanas as well and I would love to know how his hotel handled him after the manager at 'Ohanas called them to put them on the lookout for him. It was so bad another guest came over and told me how sorry he was that this man was so rude and yeah, he had a bunch of family/kids in his group which made it so much worse.

It was the pits having to come home and it was a whopping 37 degrees when we got here. brrrrrrrrrr..........

Welcome home! I would have loved to gotten together. We loved the bar at Wilderness. Should have met for a drink or two or three lol. Sorry you had some bad experiences with drunks. We were lucky this year I guess. Or maybe we were the drunk ones

 

[tinkrebell]

Oh sorry its not in Philly its about an hour or so outside of Philly in town called Hermitage. Everything I researched has said that flying into Ohio was gonna be same amount of time driving if I fly into Philly. But I still want a cheesesteak hahahaha

My husband is from Hermitage! Do you know any Sebestyens up there??

 

[lakelandgal70]

No sorry I don't know a soul up there. Might have to travel there to go to a dr for my Lyme disease. Is it a nice up there?

 

[tinkrebell]

Haha, I've heard it is! He moved when he was seven, and in our three years together, we still haven't gone back to visit - so I've never been. It's a seven hour drive from where we are north of Philly (Yardley), and with DH being 6'5", he finds every excuse NOT to make road trips! Hopefully we'll see it someday, I've lost all of my six grandparents, and all four of his are alive and well and hoping we come see them soon - either he's a very lucky man with great genes, or there's something in the water up there. Maybe it has a cure for your Lyme disease Have you had it long? I had one friend who had it n high school, and his lasted about a year before he could feel well enough to return to school - hope your recovery is much faster!

All my grandparents are passed as well. I would give anything to have them back with me here on earth. He is very lucky to have his still alive. Haha maybe it is the water. I have had Lyme for at least 10yrs. I was bit but not treated so all the bugs have been in my system doing damage for all those years. I have been pretty much sick for all those years with some relief the last couple months. So well shall see what happens. I have great hope for remission of this disease. Glad your friend only had if for a little while. I have read where people went untreated for 30plus years. I just couldn't imagine. Hope everyone is having a great Monday!

Hope everyone is having a great Monday!

No...I hate Monday!

 

[HockeyKat]

No...I hate Monday!

I'm with Dax.


Kayjay, sorry you had to deal with drunks. I like F&W but I know between '08 and '09 it felt like they were declining rather than improving. The drunks don't bother me (I may even be one), but the food samples got smaller, more $$, and seemed to me to be prepared McD's style (well in advance and warmed).


I did a half marathon yesteday at the Outer Banks, so decided to work from home today as I can't really get off the couch easily.

 

[lakelandgal70]

No...I hate Monday!

Sorry hon! Just think 2days off for a great concert!! Can't wait to hear how you liked it.

Kat that is awesome! I want to do a marathon some day. My cousin just did one and I think you guys that do it are amazing!!

Thanks! I did a half marathon (13.1 miles). It was my third this year.

I think next year I may train to do a full marathon.

That is awesome! Your name sounds so familar to me. Years ago I use to belong to a childfree message board with someone that had your same name and a picture of a hound dog. The only reason I remember that is I keep expecting to see a picture of a hound dog on your avatar lol.

Haha, probably not me! I am definitely a cat person.
