Hello from the Portofino!!!

[AlexandNessa]

So, tell me ... how many PMs have you received from people wanting to know how you scored those upgrades?

Sounds like you're having a great trip!

Yeah, me neither.

Have a great trip for all of us snowbound folks!

I knew you would love PBH! Have fun! Can't wait to hear all about it, & I think I heard something about you posting some pics later.

TigerLilly's Mom,
You're in for a treat. The bathrooms are fantastic, as noted. Bonus! You don't even need to worry about hitting the gym, when you stay at PBH. You get enough of a work out, as you're running through the room to pick up enough momentum to make the huge leap onto the bed. Seriously, the beds are killer!!!

Hey, I want to see some snow. Would you run me some down here. I'm only an hour from Orlando. Are you convinced yet???

 

[Jonah Hex]

Do you have an extra bed for me? I promise not to snore.

 

[Slacking]

I just came back from a night at the PBH. I got lost quite often, lol.

I stayed one night there, and 2 nights at Disney (Pop Century). OMG.... the atmosphere at PBH was so much nicer, so much more relaxed, it was nice.

 

[Motherfletcher]

I can't stop giggling. My daughter and her boyfriend are really starting to wonder what the heck I did to get these upgrades and my sister is taking all the credit!

Just because Paul has been to the North Pole? Congrats! I know what you mean about giggling every time you think about it. Tell us which Villa Suite you got.

 

[Motherfletcher]

That is exactly what I was wondering! That is quite the double upgrade! Congratulations and have a GREAT time!

P.S. THAT would never happen at Disney!

It won't happen at HRH either! You gotta tell Mike that this could be ya'll at PBH!

Awesome! I do love a good bed. Can't wait, three more days!!

 

[bubba's mom]

Can't wait, three more days!!

YOU have to take an obscene amount of pictures too y'know......

...and a pic of those seats on Dudley!

 

[TigerLilly's Mom]

I will take pictures, but I don't know about Dudley. Hopefully, Damo can. My daughter and I refuse to do any flumes, hate them!! I have been on it before though, and so has my very tiny daughter - it is quite safe!

 

[damo]

The seats on Dudley haven't changed since the last time I was here. They have an upright divider between people but there are no seatbelts or anything. We got totally soaked!!!!

We are in rooms 3551, 3553, 3557 that overlook the boatdock. We have four balconies. The biggest one has an enclosed balcony that is lovely.

We are heading out to Disney today. We are going to do Downtown Disney until about 3 and then head over for the Princess and Pirates party. It is already 73 degrees here. There is a chance of rain later but it should be good. Forecast is great for the remaining week.

We had a nice time at the mall last night. PF Chang's was yummy. We'll have to get back to the mall once more before we go.

I forgot to say that I met Phamton on Saturday night in her little booth. Reminded me of Phantom's Toll Booth (that probably will make no sense to most people!!!).

The atmosphere here is hard to describe. It is just such a warm, relaxed feel. The furnishing are all very traditionally and comfy. The colours are all yellows and terracottas and other soft colours. The people are incredibly friendly. We still get turned around a bit, but are figuring it out. We are having a very relaxed holiday. It is so nice having this many days since you can just come and go as you please. We love the walk to the parks from here. It is not too long at all.

I will talk to you guys tomorrow morning and let you know how Disney compared!!!

I prefer to call it my office.

Lucky dog, I"m jealous. Its funny I'm not a jealous person, but this is the one area in which jealousy still rears its ugly head with me!

 

[Motherfletcher]

I love those rooms! When we checked in the king room's door was open and my daughter flopped on the bed before I could tell her that it wasn't our room and to get out! You have a pocket full of keys, don't you? Do you like the bathrooms? With the weather as nice as it is you can leave the sliding glass doors open all day.
Have you been in the club lounge yet? In the club by the table that has bagels are some wooden trays. Fill them up and take them to the room so you can use the 6 seat dining room table.
The cool thing about your vacation is how long you still have! I think I'm talking myself in to being jealous!

(gotta look on the bright side somehow.....)

 

[robvia]

Right, now we'll see what someone thinks of Disney when not staying on site there. I'm sure you'll have fun, but the magic will be less.

 

[Lizziejane]

Take lots of pictures of that suite!!! I've been searching for pictures, but can never seem to find any!!!

Glad you're having such a good time

Is anyone else wondering if Damo is secretly a movie star or the leader of a foreign country? Oh, wait, maybe shes that chick that does the show on the travel channel?

Didn't she say that the curly headed kid wasn't going? Maybe that's her kid and she had to leave him at home this time...
