I talked to Chan! They are there. She got an ungrade at the YC to concierge. I wonder how she got that.

That is so great..... well she has "connections" of course!

Congrats Channing! Now you can have your Krispy Kremes!

 

[Cinderumbrella]

Hooray for Chan's upgrade!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wonder what she will get at the GF!!!

I hope she enjoyed her dinner at the Derby! We were considering it for this trip, but we only spend 1 day over at DHS area and we couldn't pass up Yachtsman!!! We are also trying Cali Grille for the first time since you ladies rave about it. We will be there when the castle lighting happens, so I wonder if we will be able to see it

Have a great day everyone! It's going to be a HOT one here!

Hi, GF friends!!

just checking in and i am on my laptop so my typing is spastic....


yc= nice, but my heart is totally at the GF. We visited yesterday as soon as we got our room and i love that place. i feel like an outsider here. KWIM? I do like it,but it's not the same. yes we got a nice upgrade...it was funny we pulled up andmy fmaily was like....OH LOOK theres the concierge...YOU DID BOOK US CONCIERGE RIGHT? and i said,no....i didn't...really I didn't care becuase there are good options here to eat and it wasn't something i'd miss if we did't have it. but then this nice girl was holding two bday buttons and she saw us unlpoading ourmegaMEGA stuff and approached us and I KNEW once she beganher spiel and said she would take us upstairs to get checekd in....and DH was looking at me ???? and my kids - we were alllike duh.....speechless....I heard several people made calls...my TA,and even GF peiople made calls to try and aget us a great room!! Plus that other nice Disser that offered!!! So I guess betweenall thatwe were a shoe in for an upgrade. We don't have the best view....it's like a rooftop and tree tops....but I couldn't gripe about it since they were nice enough to put us up here on the 5th floor w/concierge.

OMG...THREE varietites of KKS!!!! LOL....it got my kids UP and moving before 8 am this morning. LOL...we were at International Gateway by 9 am.....Crowds horrid....waited "30" min for MS and then it broke down while we were waiting....turned into an hour wait...THEN went to use our TT fp...guess what? It broke down...didn't ride.....too crowded so we left. spent time at SAB til it rained and thundered, haha...andthen we came here ate some lounge food and aacttually passed OUT.....Jojo is still sleepingand she is not going to be happy....we want ot go to either DHS or EPcot tonight and then do a surrey bike at the BW....

The lounge food here is good!!! Yesterday htought we were at the GF to see friends and chat ( you know me hhahaaa) and see the 20th anniv stuff...which turned out to be really lame...even they wre stunned....well anyway...OH!! It's NOT A HAMPSTER CAGE - It's a SQUIRREL CAGE haha- we did eat some lounge food there becuase we had only had bfast and air plane snacks from 6am til 5 pm and it was Asian night and the stuff was YUMMY!

We went to BD last night.....Princess P...I was kinda let down actually. They used to have white tableclothes on ALL tables...no more....not the same meticulous service they had int eh past and it was noticable to me since i go there every trip. the food was delicious as always, but DEFINITELY service has changed & dropped a level. It is the nicest in DHS, but you get park crowd and I think a nice quiet meal would be best somewhere else...like Wishes suggested. I guess it depends what you're looking for.

OK...Zack is back so we are going to head out...gotta wake up Jojo so it could be ugly.

LOL..there was an unscheduled pool cleaining today.....great...we were scared to go back in when they said we could....haha....

My kids are being poops. I think they are getting too old for this place. Sadly....they are not the fun kids I remember them being. They are duds. DH and I need to come by ourselves next time.

Talk to ya later,
Channing

PS>...I need to go back and read what's new...but I caught that Vanessa had a bad thing happen!!! Holy cow!!! I am glad nobody was hurt!

Dawn, enjoy your relaxing time!

I am thinking about you guys!!

Sheli, I got your buttons....Andrea I will check into your outfit when we get situated there at teh GF. .....I got Michelle's pins....I have a list!! I am planning on that shirt for you Siobhan nxt Saturday...gosh, if I forget anybody I have it written in my book of brains...LOL....

Take care! Wish you were here!

 

[tinklvr64]

Gosh its quiet around here...where is everyone?????

Chan...Happy Birthday to Fam! Glad you all are having a great time! Have a Disney Ice Cream Bar for me


Come out and play everyone!

 

[Tinker*Shell*Bell]

Wow Channing, busy day!
Awesome on the upgrade! Even better on the KK's I am dying jealous!

Crummy on the ride side though, but the "unexpected pool closing" made me laugh! We went to the pool here tonight and they had to close too..My oldest was first out of the pool and all but running for the shower! He was convinced he was contaminated by the "spill" in the pool. (Ok, we all showered for a long time )

Thanks so much for grabbing the pins, I can't believe all the stuff we have you running for, i feel bad now

I hope the rest of your trip goes well, and that the ride break downs stay away!!!

Kids being poops? They need to hold mommys hands all week!! Take lots of pictures!

 

[mandymommy4]

Gosh, we are having a hard time finding brooms here in the Tampa bay area.....

DH made me do it, LOL!

 

[mandymommy4]

Chan if your taking orders then I will take the shower gel from the GF if you don't like it, lol!

JK

Have a great vacation! We are having some weird rain patterns here but hopefully O-town is better than us..... Our area is where the W and E sea breeze collide and cause some bad storms......

 

[vbarry]

Channing~ Awesome upgrade! You will be at the GF soon. Tell the kids to quit being butts and enjoy their vacation! Give them the "most kids do not get to do these type of things" speech and pour the guilt on them...they will snap out of it! We miss you too! It is quiet around here.

Dawn~ I love to scrapbook but I do not get much done these days. Lexi has a beautiful baby book that I did and poor Lily has about 10 pages. What a bad mother I am. Enjoy your time off!

HI Mandy!!

Hope everyone has a good day. I am going shopping and then we are camping again for the weekend. The kids are excited and I wish I was going to WDW

Hope everyone has a nice holiday weekend!

Our brooms are always ready. We use them so often they are always out and ready to sweep.

Hoping for a better day today....NOTHING worked out as planned yesterdayn....NOTHING. It was a bust of a day. I am running out, but trust me....it stunk. I wish I had my broom....I would have hit some kids with it.

Channing~ Here is hoping you have a better day!! I am sure you will. The first day is always tiring!!

Dawn~ Yes- I am cleaned up but we look like a bunch of rednecks with a big piece of cardboard over the front of our house. Hopefully they will get that repaired soon!!
