We aren't set up to sell on EvilBay. That's why I didn't sell my SW credits. And from what DH said the stuff is bulky and heavy, so shipping it would be a nightmare.
He said there was a guy who won Nascar tickets to TX Motor Speedway who didn't want those, but DH didn't want them, either.
If push comes to shove I guess we could do that. I don't know what the brands or details are, so I have no idea how much the stuff would retail for. I suspect it would retail for FAR less than a flat screen TV.
It was nice to see you too!!! No we are not food court people..Rarely use the foodcourts at all so that was my thinking too. I heard that some of the wing rooms can be quite a walk as well..too muc to think about!!!!Janet, Anne Marie, and Bernadette - it was lovely seeing you on the Codes board early this a.m. Why am I not surprised that we were some of the 1st people on it? If only I'd called before, instead of after my shower, maybe I wouldn't have such disheveled hair today.I was almost late for work after being on the phone for so long!
Anne Marie - for what it's worth, I'd be torn right along with you. With your group, I could see the 2 bathrooms and just more beds/space at Pop being a nice thing to have. At the same time, since you solely use Disney transportation, I could also see the benefits of the CR. Are you guys food court people? If so, I'd give the nod there to Pop - with the temp location of the CR's quick service area, they just don't have a ton of selection. Plus, I think the pools are themed better at Pop. And you might still have a bit of a hike to transportation from the wing rooms at the CR. Good luck with your decision!
I'm holding an AKL std. reservation for now. They didn't have the savannah view available, but they did have pool view. I never get lucky with upgrades, so I should just decide which one I'd be more interested in - the more I think about it, maybe pool view, just because then I'm more certain as to where the rooms are located, and it's only $10 more. I've had some std. views I didn't mind at the AKL, but I did have one once (just for 1 night) that was right in front of the bus stop. I was glad we weren't staying a while!
Funny, I'm kind of torn now with my Swan reservation. I didn't want to stay there initially (I still prefer a "Disney" resort), but I had gotten used to the idea of being close to Epcot during the F&GF, trying out one of their restaurants, plus the other Epcot-area resorts, etc. I also like that we would actually get frequent stay credits there with Starwood (when will Disney do something like this?
Very true...but why can't I stop thinking about upgrading then?
When I called they said only YC was available for my dates. I love my BC but since we are staying there for 12 days in August I figured we'd try something else for a shorter trip.
That does stink..Sorry..DH just called. He is off today but he had to go in for a meeting (they do that to him ALL the time). They FINALLY got around to drawing for the prizes they were supposed to draw for on Super Bowl Sunday. Prompt bunch of folks, I tell ya'!
So the prizes were flat screen TVs, dSLR cameras (better than the one DH has now), a suite at a TX Rangers game, all sorts of other really good stuff. So what does DH win? A tent, a lantern and a camping grill. We HAVE a tent that nobody ever uses, we have a camping lantern, and we have 2 HUGE grills on our balcony which I am sure our neighbors just love. We need to get rid of one but DH isn't sure he can get it down the stairs by himself. Anyway, he didn't even bring the prizes home because he doesn't want them. He is hoping to get someone to trade with him, but I bet that won't happen. If the people who won the cameras don't want them they will sell them, not trade for camping equipment. I hate that DH works so hard and he always gets the short end of the stick. He got nothing at the Christmas party because they ran so LATE and so far off schedule, and now he gets nothing for busting his tail for Super Bowl. Kind of sucks.
Which reminds me, there are only two days left to make your gender predictions for Hardman baby #3.
I will catch up when I get home but wanted to give Anne Marie a few things to think about before she books CR.
I stayed at the CR in Dec 06 and while the new rooms are beautiful they weren't all that "guest friendly". They have virtually no storage if you like to unpack.
I don't think staying in a wing room would be as convenient as staying in a tower room and with construction the fast food choices are limited.
The walk to MK was great BUT the monorail to Epcot took forever. I was spoiled by Poly when you could walk from TTC to Poly. At CR you have to change monorails at TTC going up and down the ramps and when coming home from Epcot at night it must add about 30 minutes when you have to make all those extra stops. I think there must be bus service to Epcot though. The bus service to MGM and AK wasn't that great-shares with at least Poly and sometimes GF and WL too.
I would save your money and stay at Pop.
Have you checked ASMusic? The rooms have been remodeled recently and look nice.
Good luck!
I would also keep checking on Pop for AP.
i woke up to mom calling the vet to get shocker in. she can barely and i mean barely walk. she tries to stand up and she just collapses. her back legs cant hold her weight. the vet said she is neurologically fine and he saw nothing on x-rays and felt nothing. she is my little soldier she isn't whimpering or crying. he gave us anti inflammatory and said if she isn't better in 3-5 days to call them and they would see her again. we talked to the agency i got her from and hey said maybe a chiropractor so we might see if that helps. i am just crushed. i don't wanna loose her yet and i don't want her in pain.
Labs have lots of hip problems - maybe she has arthritis? Hopefully the meds will help!
I got an e-mail from Chase yesterday telling me about the ticket upgrade offer, and I got an e-mail from Disney today to let me know about AP rates. Seems like Disney is getting a little better about AP alerts. I put in all sorts of dates for March, April and May and never found any that were valid for AP rates on club level at AKL. We may end up just having to suck it up with rack rate in August. Glad it is only 3 nights!
no, they aren't...
