Decided to have a day to myself. Need a break from Cuthbert he is driving me insane. I decided I would go and explore all the other persons on holiday and check out their resorts. Thought I would start at the cheap end of the scale at the All Stars. Here are my opinions on all the hotels:
ALL STAR RESORTS
Oh my, oh my. Full of common persons not my kind of place at all. All these oversized objects are very intimidating. The children would like the movie place. I would recommend this to the gardener.
PORT ORLEANS RESORT
Didn`t like the French part. The hired help person told me the Riverside part used to be Dixie Landings. Do you think they named it after my Dixie? Can`t be she is only 4 and her second name is not Landings. I would consider staying here if it had concierge (as a last resort). My mother in law would be happy here. She likes olde worlde things. She would enjoy the Fishing Hole as she told Cuthbert when he was younger, "There is nothing like having a long pole in your hand and a mouth full of maggots to pass an afternoon or two." I say whatever makes you smile!
CARIBBEAN BEACH
Very tropical and colourful and bright. Fascinating how the sea is in the middle of the buildings.Lovely beach and a playground to leave the children while I sunbathe. Cuthbert would like the pool side bar, maybe help prevent more dehydration. Maybe send Cuthbert here on our next trip.
CORONADO SEASONS
Looked similar to the Caribbean beach place.
POLYWATSIT
Has a childrens club and persons like myself but it is rather dull. All the out buildings appear to be brown. Cascading waterfalls are too much, they gave me the urge to go to the toilet! They are too noisy for me.
WILDERNESS LODGE
Oh my goodness. A huge wooden shack like fire hazard. We could never stay here, Cuthbert is to haphazard with his cigar ends. He would end up burning the whole place down. I am also too afraid of snakes and bears.
WILDERNESS CABINS
Similar to my garden shed. Again to risky with Cuthbert. Saw persons having a barbecue, spoke to them and asked for sausage in a roll. They refused so I grabbed one from their child and ran! So I can`t go back there anyway.
CONTEMPORARY
Way too much like a railway station, all they needed were guards with flags and I`d think I was in Kings Cross! Couldn`t stay here although it would keep Cuthbert occupied for hours as he was once a train spotter.
OLD KEY WEST
Very, very nice. I have a lighthouse like that in one of my bathrooms, smaller though. It stands in the corner and holds towels. The light is false on mine, maybe I should get it working and imagine I`m at Key West while soaking away the days stresses. Made a lot of friends here while swimming in the pool, had to work off the sausage roll.
ANIMAL LODGE
I was not allowed in because I did not have priority seating. I told him I was happy to stand but this was not allowed. I explained I was just one little person and would not take up much room in a huge resort but hired help said my car would and sent me packing. I turned away crying and revved the car engine at him. Noticed a Disney bus arriving and tried to sneak in behind it but I was caught and access denied once again. Drove back to my Grand Floridian paradise and went to bed.
What a glorious day I had without Cuthbert. It was a strange day though. I missed Yasmin.
Tomorrow : Spending morning and some of the afternno trying some of the activities on offer at my resort. MGM in the evening.
Love always
Veronica.
P.S I hope to be on the boards myself on Saturday evening. (depends how bad jet leg is).
