Fair warning: I'mma get drunk next week at SL. I guarantee it. If you don't like it look away and mind your own vacation. Momma's been cooped up for almost 5 weeks, non weight bearing and unable to drive.

Seriously, I find that I enjoy my vacations much more when I worry less about what *other* people are doing and instead focus on what's going on with my own trip. Will people behave less than spectacularly while I'm there? Um, duh? Making a big deal of it will for sure cause stress, so why stress?

Killing me smalls. I’ll be the one asking to take a wine bottle up to my room.

 

[blewits]

I know, I should ask but I always feel funny...to paraphrase Eeyore..."I don't want to be a bother..."

You are paying for it. Ask! I always say, “it’s free to ask”.

 

[Simba's Girl]

I’ll be there next week too! First time CL so we are so excited and I’ll be drinking right along with you!!!

Ooohhh!!! Look for a family of 4 with 2 teens and the mom in a boot! It's our first time at GF but not CL. We love CL as a family, hope you enjoy it!

Y’all can judge all you want, but I’m not getting up until I’m done DISboard’ing.

Love that view .

Y'all, I am so, so happy right now. I was checking the AP rates for my trip in October (as I do every few days) and my holy grail of WDW resort rooms -- TPV CL at the Contemporary -- popped up as available! It took me approximately one hot second to switch my reservation over from the GF SL building.

I adore the CR, and we haven't been able to snag a discounted room there in years and years. I know it's still ridiculously expensive, but I'm delighted nonetheless. Now I just have to make sure I keep my expectations reasonable and don't let myself get too caught up in comparing it to our first CR CL trip in 2011 (which stands in my mind as one of my best vacations ever).

Congrats on getting exactly what you want. Hope you have a great trip .

I’ll be there next week too! First time CL so we are so excited and I’ll be drinking right along with you!!!

Hope you have a great time and enjoy your first CL stay .

Okay - I have another questions and I am asking for your experience with it. I currently have 1 night CL booked at CR and then 4 nights at CSR CL - I am looking to extend the CR CL stay by 1 night and shorten the CSR CL stay by 1 night. I don't see the availability on the website but is this something DSS might have some magic to assist with?

 

[Dave006]

No DSS does not deal with guest room reservations. You will need to call central reservations at (407) 939-7630 or (407) 939-1936, ask to speak to a Guest Services CM. If there is any availability the GS CM will be all to adjust your 2 stays.

I will mull this over and get back to you shortly.

Thanks!!!

I have a question that I have not been able to find the answer to anywhere, and FWIW, I am not a lush, lol. I rarely drink at home, so on vacation all bets are off - I am staying CR Atrium CL, I was wondering, would I be able to get Bailey's at breakfast time if I requested it? Bailey's in coffee is one of my favorite treats.

I can't quite answer your specific question, but as I recall, CR CL doesn't serve Baileys. The cream liquor they offer is called Amarula.

The two liquors taste somewhat similar, but they are actually quite different from each other. Baileys is made with Irish whiskey. Amarula is made in South Africa from a fruit called a marula. Amarula has a picture of an elephant on the front, because elephants love marula fuit. The marula fruits naturally ferment, and the elephants get mildly intoxicated eating them.

FWIW, CR Atrium Club had Baileys this past March (see pic below). As always, YMMV.

 

[mickeyluv'r]

Huh!

I only saw Amarula offered on our most recent CR visit. Glad to see they have Baileys.

Can you do that? I would love to bring the bottle to my room

I’ve never tried Grand Mariner before this GF SL trip, so I was a little skeptical whether or not I’d like it when a CM asked if she could make me something special. When she told me she mixed Grand Mariner with champagne and POG juice, I didn’t see how it would work, but it was actually delicious!!!! (I was actually feeling pretty good after a couple!! ) I definitely recommend it!!

It was the Amarula when I was there in January too!

Just discovered (lol, “discovered” I just never noticed tbh) Amarula in South Africa a few months ago! SO yummy! I like Baileys but Amarula is my new fav. And it’s excellent mixed in with coffee, definitely give it a try if you get a chance!

When we went to Nomad Lounge in January they were doing Amarula in coffee, my husband was even able to get Amarula in hot chocolate from them, both were tasty!

It's sweet orangey flavor so totally works with mimosas
