Holidays & Hammocks - Dec. 10-19 - Poly Club!!! ~ Updated 1/10: TR Started!

[A&Bmama]

I'm so mad at myself for not checking your PTR before now. I had no idea there would be live updates!

I hope you guys managed to get some rest after all that fuss at the airport. WDW is so exhausting that I can't imagine starting my vacation that way.


Poly club level!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


That's fantastic! I'm so glad you guys were upgraded. I can't wait to hear all of the details.

I was looking at the weather for Orlando yesterday and it was warmer here??? But it was rainy, dreary so still much better in Florida. It is warm here today again but more of the same rain only this time it is accompanied by high winds.

I can't wait to read this TR! Awesome on staying where are for not much more. It's sounding like a great trip!

This weather is NUTS though! I don't even want to think about going outside the next couple of days. We're definitely going to be doing epcot on friday, but I sure hope it warms up for all of us!

At MCO now. Don't want to leave. Kept saying at Poly, "We live here now?" Must not have worked?

 

[A&Bmama]

You're back!

Anxiously awaiting details...

 

[Dugette]

DUDE, that is terrible!!! Glad you guys finally reached the promise land! Have a wonderful vacation!

Thanks. It was sure a crazy way to start our trip!

What a rotten flight experience this turned out to be! That sucks! Happy that you were able to get that money back anyway. Hope you managed to get some rest and are having a great time now!

We did manage to get a little rest and definitely had a great trip.

Did you go to Epcot on that Friday (the 17th)? Looked around for you guys all day, but never did see you.

Holy Cow!!! I just got caught up.....first off, sorry to hear about Dug's grandma. But OMG, your flight!! I hope your vacation is now running on schedule. You two must have been exhausted.

Thanks. Yeah, it was a crazy day and we were exhausted. But, who needs sleep at Disney, right?

Hallelujah for some pixie dust after all that flight drama!

Club level!?! That rocks!!

Hope you guys got some sleep! Awesome that Disney credited back your first night!


Have a great time! See ya in a few days!

The day was sure full of ups and downs!

Wow! Awesome for the Club level pixie dust! You deserved it after all you'd been through that day.

It was pretty awesome!

Woo hoo @ Poly CL for nearly the price of CSR. If I'm reading right this means y'all get to stay in the same hotel the entire time? Hope so!

Thanks for the heads up about the weather. I've been checking it all day! Bringing a third suitcase just to hold the extra coats!!

We are definitely just staying in at the hotel tomorrow night so let me know when you guys head our way and we can meet up in the lobby!! See ya tomorrow!!

Stay warm!

It was nice seeing you there!

I'm so mad at myself for not checking your PTR before now. I had no idea there would be live updates!

I had no idea there would be live updates either! But I had to share all that stuff with people who would understand, so I was able to wrestle away the iPad and iPhone from Dug to post!

I hope you guys managed to get some rest after all that fuss at the airport. WDW is so exhausting that I can't imagine starting my vacation that way.

Such a once-in-lifetime opportunity! And we figured out that we paid less than 1/3 of the rack rate for our room!

I was looking at the weather for Orlando yesterday and it was warmer here??? But it was rainy, dreary so still much better in Florida. It is warm here today again but more of the same rain only this time it is accompanied by high winds.

Although we had a couple of "normal" Florida days, it was cold for several days! 28 degrees and windy at times! I am so glad I packed my winter jacket, hat, scarf, and gloves. You will notice this in our pictures!

I can't wait to write this TR! It'll be pretty interesting, I think!

You're back!

Anxiously awaiting details...

Yes, we're back! We've been so busy all week since returning home that I haven't had a chance to update. The only reason I have time now is that I came home early from Dug's parents' house since I'm feeling sick to my stomach. I'm sure I'll be better after not eating for awhile, though.

I will get this TR started as soon as I can. I am going to finish the November one first, though, so it won't be immediate. I'll see if I can even get another November update up tonight.

Thanks all for following along! I can't wait to tell you all about our crazy trip!

We were there! We made a morning stop over to MK first and took the monorail to Epcot just before lunch. We were in WS for the rest of the day checking out the storytellers. I was watching for the both of you, too. Too bad we never passed each other!

Can't wait to read the TR!

Bummer we must have never crossed paths! I thought for sure we'd spot your family at some point! Oh, well! Guess I'll have to compare our TRs when we get to that day.

A quick little non-trip update. Dug got me some gifts from WDW for Christmas. I got the boxed set of parade/show music (like Wishes and Illuminations, etc.):

I got a pretty blue Mickey necklace:

He also got us Beauty and the Beast on Blu-Ray (which we watched the other day):

And Dug’s sister and her husband got us cute mugs from the Disney Store (along with some hot chocolate):

Cool, huh?

On a totally unrelated note, A&Bmama, you’d asked me about the H2O products at the resorts. Dug took this pic at the Poly gift shop:

Also, we noticed that the Tower of Terror gift shop was selling the H2O products too…talk about theming! Hope that helps you!

Hope to have a trip update soon!

Okay, here's what we've been working on tonight. I don't have an official start to the Trip Report yet, but we do have a name and a preview. I'll probably use this as part of the intro on the TR, but wanted to share it with you for now (click image to watch video):



Wonder what that door with the towel is about?

I'll let you know when I start the new thread, "How the Other Half Lives"!

 

[TheThomsLuvDisney]

Wow, I loved it!!!!! That was FABULOUS, and yes, I'm dying to know what was up with the towel. Please hurry and get this TR going!
