Confessions of the Resort Changers

deide71, I know you posted for disneybride's benefit but let me be the first to say thank you. From what I can see, the view looks beautiful, like a mountain lodge.:) Did the other room have a king bed? What a blissful vacation that must have been.:cloud9:

Why couldn't I have been born rich instead of beautiful? :rotfl2: :lmao:

Yes, the master bedroom had a king bed, and enormous bathroom, and a whirlpool spa.

It was fabulous!
 
I just got off the phone with CRO. I called to ask if they had one of my requests for the North Wing at WL. She said it was on the second page. It told her I wanted that as my first request. She said it did not matter what order the requests were in.

Does anyone know if that is true? Help!
 
nonsmom, I have always been told to list your requests in the priority that you want them. :confused3



 
ktink, have you wavered again? :rotfl2: I'm sure I saw that you had changed your signature to WL and now I see it is AKL....what's up? :confused3 :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

:lmao: carol/houston, you knew exactly where to find me. But I was trying to be incognito.

I posted the reason why on another thread. But long story short DD 6 has been at my mom's all week. When we talked to her she was so excited to stay at WL. She got home tonight and said she couldn't wait to see the animals. She had been voting for WL thinking that the animals were in the wilderness. I think she was confusing AKL w/ AK park. :rotfl2:

Anyway DH hopped on the AKL bandwagon then.
 
Ktink? Do I see AKL? Have you been on the phone today? :) I did change adr's today. Don't be ashamed. Without our posts, this thread would be soooo boring. I like to talk about switching resorts, you actually do it. I'm too afraid that if I go to switch back, my WL standard view for 10 days will be gone! You are my hero (Shero)

I did switch some ADRS today. I switched days for Boma. Now we have boma on the 4th and WCC on the 5th. I'm having second thoughts now.

well...am I seeing things???
I peeked on here earlier but never got a chance to post...I swear ktink you were going to BWI! Now you are back to AKL>>>I cant keep up!!!! lol

I am afraid I have become boring now without any changes...I went to VWL..big whoop! lol

Did you know the 1 brd villas at AKL will have 2 bathrooms? And a sleeper chair in addition to the sleeper sofa?? Wonder what those rates will be!!!!

Well I changed my last ADR the other day...I have nothing else to change:( lol
Hope everyone has a great Memorial Day Weekend!! And a safe one!!

My DH says I am off to our DVC...Diana's Vacation Camper....ha ha...we're seasonals in a campground/resort place in WI. Isnt he funny? NOT! :)
 
stepdisney, you're my shero. I hate it that I've changed so much.

disneybride, I thought I had slipped that one by. I went back and edited my posts. I did switch to Boardwalk Inn yesterday:sad1: But I felt so guilty about spending that much money that I had buyer's remorse, as the rooms are $100 more per night. I thought I had slipped that one by unnoticed.:goodvibes

BTW, I like your version of DVC.
 
ktink, of all the resorts you have booked, which have you booked more? I'll tell you, AKL. You love this place (so do I by the way). If you have the pick of resorts, stick with the one you like best. ( I did wonder about the BWI for a moment but thought I was mistaken :rotfl2: ) I hope it is still fun learning about other resorts and has not become stressful for you. Wherever you end up, you'll be fine. I know it's Disney you want but you want everyone else to be as happy as you are. Relax and switch over to the picture of the day thead (not to be mistaken for the Resort of the day photo thread). The Disney picture of the day is fun because it can be taken anywhere. (I repeat, do not frequent the resort of the day :lmao: .

Disney Bride....On your job as usual. You have NOT become boring. You are the glue that keeps this thread together.:thumbsup2
 
stepdisney, I love the Disney Picture of the Day thread! And you're right I always go back to AKL.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
 
KTINK.....just saw your posts on the AKL threads......you crack me up. Where will you end up tomorrow? You lost me yesterday at BWI. Nice to see you back at AKL. I'm still trying to upgrade my AKL room but to no avail. We will be there 8/21-8/26. When are you going?

Just keep trying on that upgrade, I have found through my ehhhmmm, experience that rooms do open pretty often.

Anyway, we'll be there from 9/2-9/8. Good luck on getting the room you want. But I'll send you some pixiedust: for perhaps a free upgrade. ;) We can always hope for one, right?

A free upgrade would be nice.

I don't even have to look for my reservation numbers anymore, I have them memorized. That's quite pathetic! But such is the life of a resort changer addict.

:lmao: I know what you mean. I can tell you my reservation # faster than I could my address or phone number. And I've got the prompts at CRO down to an absolute science. :goodvibes

DH told me last night he was finished talking about WDW. So today I had to ask his opinion on an ADR, I insisted that it was about WDW it was about food.
 
:), My DH just says fine, fine whatever you say, just tell me when to get on the plane. :lmao: I changed my ADR's back today. I had a dream that we could not get back to WL from Boma's :laughing: . I also tried to change from Alfredo's to Coral Reef but there wasn't anything available. The CM said that when an establishment closes its usually a lot of fun to be there the last night. That put my mind at ease because that's what was troubling me about Alfredo's, we are booked on the last night it will be open....ever! I'm afraid that I won't end up with anything so... Alfredo's it is. (I think).
 
stepdisney, I think it'll be great to be at Alfredo's the last night they're open. That's too funny about your dream. I've had dreams about Disney all to often these days.

I also had to change our ADR's. I cancelled YS because I didn't want to use 2 credits. So I booked LeCellier for lunch and Boma for breakfast. I also booked WCC for breakfast so we can check out the WL!

Here's what I've got now:
9/2 Crystal Palace @ 4:50
9/3 O'hana @ 6:45
9/4 WCC @ 10:00 (pay OOP)
9/4 Chef Mickey's @ 6:20
9/5 Boma @ 9:30
9/6 LeCellier @ 11:50
9/7 Coral Reef @ 7:20

How does that look? I'm kinda nervous about the 2 meals on 9/4 but we won't have lunch so I'm hoping it won't be too much food.:confused3
 
We have Crystal Palace on the 2nd :yay: . Oh, we're not until after 7:00 :sad2: You'll be long gone by then? We also have Boma's for the 5th, this is the night they have EMH. Again, we have dinner. I like two TS in one day. It will be sooo hot already. Everyone will be looking for shade and you have your shade scheduled :thumbsup2 . After a great breakfast, a snack and a dip in the pool, who needs lunch? Dinner and fireworks is enough. I like, I like. :idea: I tried every which way to get Chef Mickey for dinner. We have CM for lunch on our departing day:sad1: I figured lunch with Mickey would make our departure easier (for the kids :) ).
 
Chef Mickey's is a great way to end the vacation. You know that makes perfect sense about the scheduled shade, never looked at it that way. :thumbsup2

We had an ADR for CP at 6:30 but I cancelled it because I decided to do YS. Then when I cancelled YS they only had the 4:50 or 8:10. :sad2: I actually scheduled the Boma ADR around AK's evening EMH that way once we get to the park we can have CS for dinner.

stepdisney, I'm sure you know this but you're Double Digit Dancing :cool1: :banana: :woohoo: :dancer: And we'll be double digit dancing in about 4 hours. :woohoo:
 
Just checked...thats so funny. I had gone to my vacation on the Disney site and it said

97 days!!


:banana: :banana: :dance3: :cool1: :cool1: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: I feel like break dancing. Double Digits :woohoo: Oh Yeah!!!
