Oh that's good! They didn't have water when we did BWI CL a few years ago. Maybe they will start having it. We usually bring a case but it's nice to grab instead of a soda. I'd rather have the slippers though. I'm really looking forward to the slippers lol!
We stay cl, I like my tea at night. What I do is bring a few tea bags from home and head to the quick service in the resort and grab hot water. I always grab a few to go cups in cl for this.
Slippers were great, as was the robe! Love the robe!
I was reading your knowledgeable post and agreeing with what you were writing then to mysurprise you named me. Awe thanks .
They had cases of water at BC Marketplace so we got water there and I think we used an AP discount for 20% off iirc.
Always there, not new and not short term.
He was wonderful, and like you said, so personable. However the fish was definitely not swordfish that night - I worked in a seafood restaurant for many years that served swordfish and it's one of two types of seafood that I do not eat! My recollection was tilapia...Personally, DH and I can make breakfast and dinner in the lounge for sure. At least at BWI we do. We eat bigger lunch and plan to be back in the lounge for dinner, outside of a special even night of some sort.

Redgie used to be a Flying Fish chef but he's now permanently assigned to the CL lounged at BWI, though he does still work in the kitchen down in FF some. BWI and AKL are the only 2 lounges that have food prepared in the lounge, as far as I know. Though the check at AKL is no where near are wonderful or personable as Redgie. He's become a dear friend of ours. I believe the other chefs that fill in on Redgie's days off do still work down in the restaurants.
And the fish was swordfish
The night of the beef tips? Last weekend? That's when we were there too and that was swordfish, according to Redgie at least.
LOL.... I don't tolerate QS. And we don't book ADR. Got to remember, it doesn't take advanced booking to eat TS. Folks get so wrapped up thinking you have to make reservations months in advanced. We make reservations but minutes in advance, not months. We get hungry, open the app, find a reservation and book it. We just guess about how long it will take us to get somewhere. Like last Wednesday, we were at AK and wanted to head to Sanaa. We opened to app about 1:15 and found an ADR at Sanaa for 2:55 and headed over. Actually walked in about 2:45Thanks! That pretty much sounds like my plan. I figured we'd eat breakfast in the lounge. Eat a TS lunch for our bigger meal, then do the lounge for Dinner. My DH is not one to tolerate much QS, so I started second guessing my decision to not book dinner ADRs. We did AKL CL over the Summer, we ate from the lounge most nights but did supplement some from the Mara, but those food choices were a little less "safe", so kids and DH to some extent sometimes wanted a little more. After reading some of the replies about BWI CL, I feel much better about it
These don’t qualify as recent since they are a year old, but in case helpful:
GF SL April 2017 - Room
GF SL April 2017 - Food
Obviously things with all the CLs morph/change over time, but the comments and pics I’ve seen recently ‘generally’ appear to be somewhat consistent with our experience last year.
Not sure if you noticed the recent discussion but evidently SL is going through a big renovation this summer. I don’t think anyone knows yet if its rooms, lounge, or both?
As to ADRs, if you’re an uber-planner (diligent and neurotic, to use your words), I’d recommend doing them yourself. Probably just easier / simpler at the end of the day.
