Glad everything worked out for you! Whew!
I always consider leaving my confirmation at home because I never need it but after your story, I'm bringing it without a second thought! Thanks for the info on the cream - they didn't have it in RPC in December but hopefully they will have in both lounges next month! :)

They didn't have the cream in SL in December either. Maybe they had enough requests and have brought it back to stay.
 
Evening, ladies!

I'm laughing out loud here at work at that!!

I find the GF very masculine in a turn of the century kind of way! Strong, tall, not afraid to show off its strength, and its ability to scare some people away :lmao:

:rotfl:

I'm thinking we should promote the mystique! Keep all the "commoners" out! ;) :lmao:

Tinkaroo- we are booked for Dec.15 - 18th in RPC! :banana: We may change the dates around a little if I can get a bounceback deal but I've not ever been able to get one for RPC. Has anyone else ?

Hope everyone who has a sick DD gets better soon. Mine was sick last month and missed 4 days of school!

Cool - sounds like we will be there the same time! We will have to bump into one another in the lounge! :thumbsup2

Good luck with bounceback - maybe you'll have better luck! :wizard: At this point, I'm just thrilled to have a AAA rate! Those seem to come out better on the CL level rooms, anyway, vs. AP rates, since the AAA rate is a % off, while AP is a flat amount usually.

Welcome back Lindsay!!! Sorry about your cake (you can read the dilemma I am having) I am very bummed about the bounceback :sad2: I guess I am just going to be happy with my 20% that covers 7 nights and deal with the stinkin' room only for the other 2...

Ugh - good luck with the cake. :sad2: I hope for your sake you get some service there, but not to sound tacky, that will be pretty cr***y if Pop is doing better cakes than the GF!

I seriously don't think I will ever do one again - not worth the aggravation. It didn't help that I had been cake-tasting the day before I left for a big bash we're throwing one of the partners at my firm - I was dealing with real ganache icings, along with chambord, champagne, and kahlua fillings! YUM!!! Those cakes were to die for!

YAY BROOK'S BACK! Whoot!

I've been on vomit patrol all day, FUN :thumbsup2 and.....
Chan i got a lap full a couple times. :rotfl:

:::chan is spraying the screen down with lysol as we speak::::

Cant' wait for DH to come home so I can really scrub down! :scared:

By the way, I've warned the neighbor so she is shuffling away as we speak, I'm sure your skinny butt can catch her though:rotfl:

Yikes! :scared: Hats off to you and Kristin - this is the one area where I will most certainly fail my children. Like my mother before me, I think my kids will become their father's children where vomiting is concerned. :crazy2:

Alright girls (and Mike) I need to see about dinner, so I am off like a prom dress...

:rotfl: :rotfl:

Wow, I guess I missed a lot in a week. We are back and had a great time at the GF. We didn't get the lodge tower room.:sad1: We almost didn't even get SL. When we got our parking pass it didn't have the C on it, and wondered what was up with that, maybe they changed and don't put it on any more.:confused3 Then we get out of the car and no concierge CM's to meet us.:confused3 OK, so we go to the concierge desk and tell them we are checking in to SL and they took our name and gave us a funny look. We are not on the list.:scared1: After some checking said we had requested a MK view room. I insisted we booked SL, and they said no I didn't. Fortunately I had my confirmation letter that clearly stated outer lodge club level. I almost didn't take it since we have never needed it. I knew I was listed in the system right since IPO made our ADR's and booked the Wlidlife Discovery Excursion. After they saw the confirmation letter they went to the concierge room assigner to see what they could do. I was afraid they would up grade us to RPC and I would like it better and have to stay there from now on.:lmao: They found us a room with a marina view. In the end all was good, we could see wishes from our balcony.:thumbsup2 Don't know what I would have done if I didn't have that letter since they clearly didn't believe me that I had a ressie in SL. I haven't seen any mention about this lately, but in case anyone is wondering, they had cream for the scones everyday.

Maxie - how very scary! How could they have screwed up so bad?! I'm so glad they found you a room!

I, too, usually carry my paperwork w/me (I'm OCD that way and don't trust anyone) - thank goodness you had it!!!!!

Good to hear about the cream. :thumbsup2
 
Maxie, wow....I would have been tense. :eek: I am glad they found you a good room in SL. That happened to me at the S/D. They got all huffy with me and insisted I was wrong:sad2: ...I whipped out the confirmation and shocked them, haha....but I was so glad I had it because it seemed to be my word against theirs and they wren't budging. :mad: I ALWAYS bring my paperwork now. That time was just a fluke I had it w/me but now I make it a point. I have never heard of it happening at a WDW hotel though. Thanks for the heads up.




I KWYM. I will always bring all of my paperwork from now on. This is the first time I actually had the confirmation letter, usually only have the papers with confirmation numbers. That would not have done any good. They actually told me to go into the lobby to check in. They didn't believe me that I would not have booked an MK view room, and that I booked SL. They didn't even try to check into it until I gave them my confirmation letter, then their attitude completely changed.
 

Brook We pitched in and got you a special present...... A cabana boy!

Good Morning Ladies and Mr. Mike!!

Mr. Mike I will be at the GF when you are at the Poly!!

Brook congrats!!!!:goodvibes :goodvibes

Channing - I hope Jojo feels better!!:flower3:

All my neighbors are getting swarmed with termites, I am driving my husband crazy!!!! So far so good for us, but I am getting an exterminator to keep it that way. I am so freaked out!!! I hate bugs!!!:scared1:

I'm leaving today! Yay! :banana: Hopefully I'll get to see Liz and Siobhan when I am down there. Siobhan will be at 1900 PF 10 minutes after us, so I am pretty sure we'll bump into her :goodvibes
I'll take pics of RPC and our room (and POP for Brook :lmao:)
Take care,
Ali

Have a great trip!
 
Is there a pirate cruise that leaves from the GF?? pirate:



Not sure- depends on how old he is!!! :rotfl: Could have been in HS, could have been married!!


Poor mrs. mike... she is going to prohibit him from coming around here!!! :rotfl: (we're harmless- I swear!!! at least I am- can't speak for Brook :rolleyes1 )

Boy, did i sure did miss a lot after work last night!! I'm getting a bit scared :scared:

The less we speak about my senion prom date the better. Mrs.Mike and her hated each other. Mrs.Mike and I weren't on speaking terms at that point even though I was still in love with her...:lovestruc

Mrs.Mike was my sophmore semi-formal date.....we go way back...:rotfl:

I meant to tell Mrs.mike to sign up and chat with you guys...I know she goes batty sometimes not having adult contact with 3 kids in school and the baby at home.

My highschool prom was in 1987... next year is the big Four -0 for Mrs.Mike and I.
 
good morning everyone!

Thanks for the birthday wishes. It really is a special day for me.. and kristin is going to be mad about my new cabana boy :laughing:
 
It's a girl thing - some of us like to believe we wear a size or two smaller than we actually do - even in shoes. So in the movie, that character liked to SAY that she has a size 6 foot (dainty and petite princess: ), but is admitting that what she actually has is a size 8 foot.
Hope that helps. ;)

Not to drag this out but...
I would understand wanting to say a smaller dress size but do guys cares about feet? I dont think so...Unless they are caressing them and at that point unless you have a foot that is a monster I don't think it matters...:rotfl:
 
Evening, ladies!



:rotfl:

I'm thinking we should promote the mystique! Keep all the "commoners" out! ;) :lmao:

I like to go to the Poly when i'm feeling 'common' I can be just a sloppy guy hanging out and letting the kids scream and run around. We all need that sometime...
I guess i'm only half-joking...I do enjoy the Poly its just nothing like the Grand
I also love when i hear families say the Poly is better...that means less crowds at the GF for us. :thumbsup2

It was actually a big toss up for us this upcoming trip. Savannah saw the poly and wanted to stay in the tropics :rotfl2: I had booked the poly but then conned her into the GF cause I told her princesses stay at the Grand :rolleyes1
