AKL always gave us opened beers only.
The lounge was very empty this trip (although it wasn’t on the pre-Covid trip), and there were a lot of young CMs along with some of the regulars (Lorenzo), so maybe it was easier to see what people were doing. I should also say the man who was stopped this time had enjoyed quite a few before he tried to leave with his haul, so that could have had something to do with it. Literally every time I saw this man in the BW - not just on the CL, he was carrying a bottle of beer.
It's one of the reasons I will never stay BC CL again. So annoying. Maybe I want one in 15 minutes on my balcony. We like to drink on the balcony so it's annoying walking back and forth for a beer.
I can tell you 100% that it was related to controlling his overconsumption if they felt he was getting too drunk. I've had a conversation with Lene about just that exact guest issue
Brittany is a sweetheart! Wait until you meet her. You are going to have a wonderful trip.
I’m soooo excited!!!

Kerry I heard she is being promoted and moving to a moderate. Not sure when though. She was amazing so deserves the promotion.
For a Disney Cast Member to comment that it is not meant to stock your room, HOW RUDE! I do not feel that is acceptable at all! As we all discussed earlier, the food balances out amongst guests, and so does the alcohol…we don’t even drink! Take my beer people, enjoy it!! I am just one of those weirdos that doesn’t enjoy the flavor of alcohol any longer……to seriously say something to those of us paying exorbitant rates (some of us pay rack rate) I don’t really think 3 beers is over the top.Yep. Well, at least at Innkeeper’s. A few years ago they stopped a gentleman walking out with four beers and said it wasn’t meant to stock your room fridge. On Monday, there was another man who walked out with three beers, and they allowed it but told him it was preferred to only take one or two to enjoy outside the lounge. I was going to take two back to the room, so I put one in my backpack and carried the other just to be safe, but my son walked out with two and no one said anything. I guess two per person is the magic number.
by the time we get back we may not be in the mood to pack. So glad we have this trip before he leaves me
I miss him already.
Thank you for posting the pictures. We start our vacation there tomorrow. I am very interested in the breakfasts. Did they have dry cereal too?
Yes they had three options of dry cereal available as well. It looked like fruit loops, corn flakes and Raisin Bran.
With both of my kids’ more flexible college schedules, we’ve taken far more shorter trips to Disney than we were able to when they were in HS. Don’t despair; it might be a bonus! One year my son’s last class for the week was an 8am on Thursday, and he didn’t have class again until Monday at 1:00. If he had no projects or exams coming up, we met up in WDW!You guys, after all my obsessing, we leave tomorrow. Our flight isn't until 4pm. Finally got AC yesterday and the laundry dash is on. No one has packed a thing for this trip. I did Instacart a case of water though. Just loaded up my car, we head to my son's future college now to set up his room.
I’m pretty sure there are pics somewhere in this thread - not by me, I’m terrible at remembering to take pics! They always have bread and butter, crudités, 3 types cubed cheese and feta in pesto, some sliced meats, hummus, and two types of salads - one with veggies and one grain-based. I’m sure there are a few more items on the cold side. For hot dishes, we had shrimp scampi (which was event, but they could not keep this warm for some reason, lukewarm shrimp scampi just doesn’t do it for me), pork loin with balsamic glaze, salmon. There was always a vegetarian option, generally mushroom based - not a mushroom fan, and there was always a pasta - one day flavorless Mac and cheese, one day a surprisingly tasty chicken Alfredo, and an impossible meat goulash that was decent.
There was a rumor about self-serve sparkling wine during the Atrium Club AM service
- happen to notice if that was available?
