Eat Your Salad! Our WONDERful double dip June '10 UPDATE 10/14

Ah! Wilderness Lodge...you can't beat it! (We call it our second home!) Love that your rooms were ready so early...and connecting at that! Did you do online check-in so they would be prepared for your early arrival?

no, we didn't online check in but the concierge staff did ask what time we would be ariving. Surprisingly, the concierge floor and lounge were basically deserted the two nights we were there!
 
I am pretty sure we took a nap after this, as we had gotten up so early, and we were exhausted from the cruise.
at 5 we went to the concierge lounge and we just decided to snack on that food as our dinner because we were so full from a week of eating non stop!

after we ate we decided to take a ride over to the Grand Floridian and visit with some CM's we know and listen to the music in the lobby. We took the boat over.

As soon as we walk in guess who we see:
Joe!

we hung out and talked to him for a little while, then went back to the hotel for desserts in the lounge.

we really enjoyed just hanging at the hotel a lot that day in the lounge and just relaxing and talking...so we decided to do it againt eh next day! instead of usiang another base ticket for bobby b/c we knew we wouldn't stay in a park long b/c it was hot and we were already tired, we decided to stay at the hotel, hang out by the pool, and do some exploring the next day!

up next: last full day of the trip. :o(
 

Heather, I'm WAY late to this party ... just happened up on it randomly. I KNEW y'all would love a Disney cruise.

Teresa and I actually "cheated" and cruised last month on the Freedom of the Seas. It was an absolute blast - it wasn't Disney, but it was pretty terrific in its own right. Still, there's nothing like sailing with The Mouse.

We're working toward an Eastern Caribbean 7 nighter on the Magic next year.

Seeya!

(I still think y'all are prime candidates for DVC. It's just money!)
 
Sounds like a nice relaxing day! Concierge lounge offerings look yummy!
they were, I was glad to have something light after all the cruise food!

Concierge sounds amazing! Was it costly? Did you feel it was worth the price?
hhmmm that's a loaded question. Most disney websites have a price listing of all the concierge floors, I don't remember exactly what we paid for it. To US concierge is always worth it. Some people say we are crazy and they would rather park hop sun up to sun down, but that is just not our style. We like to relax and hang out at the hotel and in the lounge, and we eat, a lot, so it works for us!

after a couple hours we decided to get lunch at roaring forks and go eat it in the concierge lounge. Roaring Forks is SO LOUD and crazy, I was glad we thought to do this!
Then we showered and changed and decided to walk to Ft wilderness. In march my mom and I rode bikes there and it was so nice so we wanted to hit the trail again.

Bobby found a friend

we looked around a bit, and then decided to take the boat back to the WL instead of walking. It was getting HOT out and we had JUST missed the boat. We waited a good 25 miserable minutes for the boat to come!

I can't remmeber what we did when we got back, probably took a nap ha! I know at 5:00 we went and got appetizers before Dinner at Chispering Canyon Cafe! I love eating at your resort the last night of a trip. by then you are tired and don't feel like going anywhere so it was so great to just walk downstairs and there we were!

We were seated quickly and our waitress told us to make giant straws for our huge glass of water.

We ate until we were stuffed, as usual. Good thing we were going home the next day, we were so tired of eating! But, what did we do after WCC? That's right, we went back up to the CL lounge for desserts! lol! After that we were really ready for bed! We did some packing because we were leaving early in the morning, and we went to sleep, our last sleep in Disney :o(

We got up early the next morning and had a quick breakfast.
don't we look exhausted?

we loaded up the truck, and waved bye bye to the WL and Mickey mouse as we headed home from our great trip and great first Disney cruise!!

Thank you SO MUCH for reading everyone! I appreciate the comments!
two exciting things:
1.)I am going to start my TR from my September WDW trip to the Grand Floridian soon on the reg. TR board. I will try to remember to come on here with a link when I start!
2.)Yes, we did it, we just booked another DCL cruise for the week after Thanksgiving! Long story...but we got a you-would-be-stupid-to-pass-this-up rate. ssooo...I will have ANOTHER cruise report at the end of the year! woo hoo! Also I will have pictures with my new SLR camera (I had it for my sept trip, too.) so once again thank you and don't be a stranger!
 
Nice last day at WL. Looking forward to your new TR, that's great you have another DCL trip, is it another family trip?
 
Great last day! Looks like you had a lot of fun at WCC! Looking forward to your next TR, and how exciting that you've got another cruise planned so soon! Thanks for sharing this wonderful TR!

thanks for reading and commenting! We ALWAYS have fun at WCC!
 
Awesome last night at WL, and love the pics from WCC! WL is our favorite resort, and we love their concierge lounge. Looking forward to seeing you on the cruise!

thanks for the comment and for reading! We love how relaxed the lounge is!
 
Just found your TR! Great read! I think I may be living vicariously through you and your DH. With two little ones who like to go to WDW often, we can't stay at WL club or GF club, or spend too much time in the Quiet Cove. I can't wait to read your Sept TR now! Lucky you, you get another cruise before we meet you in May!

thanks for reading!
this is one of the reasons we don't have kids yet..lol! We are still young (I am only 25) and we know once kids come vacations like this will come to a screeching halt, so we are having adults only fn while we can! lol!
hoping to start my sept. report soon!

Congrats on booking another cruise.......would you mind saying how you got a great price and what the price is? If this is too personal to share......I totally understand. Loved reading your report!
