The drunk guy, hilarious and yet also mortifying, his poor girlfriend.
That's so funny
Bracelets aren't keys duh
How obnoxious! That poor woman.
Ok he's annoying but maybe a little funny?? That must have been a strong contender for TR title!
I love it already!
That looks like a really nice, peaceful view!
That drunk guy in the lobby...what an arrival you had at the Yacht Club! It must have been so hard not to laugh in the elevator. You gotta wonder how many grey MagicBands he ended up with by the end of his trip.
Your room looks really nice, and a king sized bed all to yourself for a night sounds glorious!
Oh no! That is one thing I don't like about the conventioneers. Some of them can be so rude.
Well........where are your ears?????? I must make sure I am in uniform next week, lol!
The room looks amazing! So fresh and bright!
That balcony is gigantic!
Uniforms for all!
No!!!!! Oh my gosh, I would have been DYING with laughter.
The drunk guy, hilarious and yet also mortifying, his poor girlfriend.
You finally made it! Hooray!
Your room looks beautiful! They must have redone the rooms at the Yacht Club as well as they look different than I remember. (I also may not see many reports where people stay at the Yacht Club!) I feel like many people that stay at the Yacht and Beach Club
Oh, my goodness, the drunk guy. I'm sure his girlfriend was NOT pleased - good for you for holding it together for so long! I don't think I could've done it, especially when he started commenting about your missing ears!
That's a shame about at the convention folks later in the week. I know people like to kick back, relax, and go a little crazy at work-related gatherings, but there's no reason to act like a jerk and bother everyone around you. You can have a good time and still act like an adult. I feel bad for you, the other non-convention guests, and the CMs!
or that Ashton Kutcher would pop out and say I was being Punked (does anyone remember that show, or is it just proving my age?? LOL)
Joining in!!
Ugh you really can't shake the travel delays, can you?! That really stinks that you had so much trouble on the way down. And then shuttle issues the next day- UGH! But glad you met such a nice Uber driver!
But you finally made it!! And the drunk guy sounds like too much
Sounds like a great start to your day at MK!
I can't wait to see The Dead Don't Die. We didn't make it this past weekend. I'm a huge Adam Driver fan. I just saw him on Broadway too! Glad to read some personal feedback about the movie.
That poor girl with the drunk guy! I would have probably laughed too and then been thankful he wasn't with me.
Yay you made it to MK!
OMG what a nightmare of a travel day. I dont know how you and your husband kept your cool in all of that because I probably would have been a basket case! lol
Glad you made it to Disney though!!
Those yacht club hallways are LONG. I definitely experienced that during our trip!
Glad you got on Splash before the weather closed it. It always BAFFLES me when people put their hands in water rides at Disney. Like do they want to lose a finger????
Bus Stop Selfie - Look! My hair is not gigantic!! (yet)
It was my first experience with the new ride photo. I'm not very happy with how any of them came out, but in the spirit of sharing, here you go:
The woman in front of me in particular was very enthusiastic. At one point she dipped her cooling neck towel into the water and proceeded to snap it over and over again. I was just sure it was going to stop the ride or something
I could tell my server wasn't thrilled with having me as his guest, he was barely phoning it in with me, and much more friendly to his other tables. Maybe because I ordered an appetizer as my meal?? But I also ordered a drink AND told him I'd be getting dessert.
How awesome it must be, to be a duck and get to live in the Magic Kingdom. Frequent Disney World visitors get "you know there are other places to visit, right??" all the time (at least I do!!), but think about this - these ducks could LITERALLY LIVE ANYWHERE and they choose to make their home near Cinderella Castle. I think that says a lot, personally.
Keeping that drink in mind for lunch there on the 10th!My server came over and introduced himself and took my drink order. I chose water and the red sangria. From the menu: Choice of Red or White Wine blended with Spices and Juice with a trio of fruit.
So different! And much, much smaller!These look so different from the old presentation!! For reference, this is what they looked like the last time I ordered it:
I ordered the pineapple dessert there in March and it was comically small.Again, I'm not sure that the picture is showing appropriate scale, this was really tiny. But it was so rich that it was the perfect size. The "chocolate cake" was really a heavy brownie type thing, very thick and gooey. Like the kind that sticks to your fork. The cashew caramel ice cream was AMAZING, and so was the whipped cream on top.
Love those!I took a little time to admire these tiki guys though:

I mean, who wouldn't want to live where they had this view everyday?
Same! It's just the best!The entire area in the Boardwalk loop is just perfect for meandering and photographing and people watching. It's a very laid back area, and I liked having the time to myself to take whatever pictures I wanted, and just BE there, without worrying about someone else being bored or tired.
That rumor about them closing this and replacing it with a Toy Story Marionette show is pretty much my worst nightmare.
You can barely see me, there in the way back.

Poor Yacht Club, they did not give it any front exterior razzle dazzle, did they? The pretty part is all in the back toward the Boardwalk
Why the backup?? People just cannot comprehend that you can use both tappy things to tap in for your FP.

I know it isn't everyone's favorite, but I love the Tiki Room.

I said yes to the Kungaloosh! ( An African-inspired Chocolate Cake with Caramelized Bananas served with Cashew-Caramel Ice Cream topped with Coffee Dust)
Skipper's has become a Magic Kingdom staple for me, and has really become one of my top choices for table service.

then called it a night. I'm pretty sure I was in bed by 6:30 or 7:00pm!! Hey, I'd earned it, and thank goodness for blackout curtains!
Don't feel guilty.
The sangria was delicious, though, guilt or no guilt! There were blackberries and raspberries in it, and a definite hint of cinnamon and clove.
So, when we were there in Feb, mine looked like your bottom picture. The new "presentation" isn't as grand.
YEAH!!!! MK is always good for the soul!I was beyond happy to finally feel settled in...Chip and Dale really help describe my mood:
