Woo hoo, water park visit!!!!!
It was really fun! I am really enjoying the WP part of the the PAP. We went to BB in October and it was such a nice change from a crowded park.
That's not a bad price for two people with the DVC discount. I've got to remember the DVC discount when we go.
I think its in effect before 10am, unless they changed it. I sure hope not since Cynthia and I are going in May!
What a great view! I'm super excited to go on it sometime.
You will LOVE it. It really very cool!
Wow, how cool about your guide! To move down there to go to school to be a golf pro, and then to love your job at Character's in Flight. Awesome.
If I'm not mistaken I think they said they wanted to spend him to Vegas for a new balloon they are putting up there. He was definitely passionate about his job.
Typhoon Lagoon is a great choice. It's my favorite water park.
It's so, so pretty there. I love it too!
Oh no, that stinks about the chlorine! I'm sorry your skin got so irritated.
It was weird. I'm so glad that didn't happen to me in October. Ouch!
You will definitely crash into people in the wave pool. Good looking out not going in if you didn't want to collide with someone.
Exactly. That's why I don't want to join. I'm a chicken. I don't mind crashing into people, but I am afraid of getting hurt. Such a baby I am!
Those were totally famous last words about not buying anymore DVC points.....
Yup!
Gaaaahhh, I want to stay there so bad! I'm just doubting we're going to get it immediately because we don't own a contract.
You might snag a ressie. It can happen. I am glad to have that 11 month window!
I would have totally wasted shiny man's time.
oh yes, I know exactly what you mean! Ex #1 was a med student, we were wined and dined...and wife #2 is/was a drug rep (not one who wined and dined us though, this one waited till he had his own practice lol) so yeah...know the type well!
Yes - I think you know EXACTLY the type I mean.
I am totally in on the balloon! I'd love to do it in December but the wallet doesn't like the # of tickets is have to buy
uno is muy better!
So May it is. You are going to love it. I can't wait to do it again. It's really cool!
You don't have a wrong UY just bad luck on the date they declared it for.
That's one way of looking at it. I actually like my use year, but I was totally bummed I had to wait to get my points. I wanted to book for this October but Denny didn't want to borrow.
Wow, a lot of things happened in this update!
I told you it was a long one!!!!
I'm too chicken to go in the Characters of Flight balloon, so I really enjoyed seeing your pictures. It's always fun spotting those park icons from afar. And the resorts still look beautiful from up high!
So you don't like heights? It really isn't scary at all. The view is just so cool and hiding behind a camera lens really helps. It really is very cool to see all the park icons in the distance. The view is pretty similar to the view from the roof of the WL. You can see all the icons from there as well.
Sorry that the water park irritated your skin. I have extremely sensitive skin, as well, and I know the resort pools can be too chlorinated and cause that burning feel, too. I guess Disney would rather ensure the water areas are as sanitized as possible than worrying about what it's doing to guests.
I am sure most people's skin does not get irritated with that amount of chlorine, but sometimes my skin just overreacts. I really didn't expect that, but I'm glad it didn't burn for long.
A spur of the moment DVC purchase......I can't imagine. It had to be unbelievably exciting to do something that spontaneous, but I can only imagine your nerves were a little frazzled when it finally sunk in what you'd just done.
You summed it up perfectly. I did feel frazzled and out of sorts. I keep telling myself "You still can cancel it" and that gave me permission to let it sink in. It was all very surreal.
From the pictures and videos of the villas that I've seen, the rooms look absolutely stunning. Disney did a really good job with them, so I am sure you'll enjoy your stays when you go. Plus, as you said, that would make one great wedding gift in the future.
The room is stunning. I can't wait to stay there, but I would have no trouble giving away my precious points as a wedding present. I would love to see my kids enjoy something like that. What a fabulous place of a honeymoon.
Just back from our new joint home resort Mary Ellen, and let me just say, it's AMAZING!!!! Can't wait to show you the pictures. We were blown away. Mom and I actually liked it better than the main GF building, it's so private and gorgeous. Officially the smallest DVC resort.
Wow Pam. They is so great to hear. I'm so glad you both loved it. Please let me know the second you start your TR. I can't wait to see the lobby. It sounds amazing.
Very cool you did the Flights of Wonder. Great pictures, my favorite is the one with all the strings. I can't go back and read all the chit chat so hopefully I'm not repeating anything.
It was a great experience. You really need to try it. It's an amazing view.
We love TL! BB was the only one open this trip and we did get there for the afternoon. Sorry the water burned you, can't imagine how uncomfortable that was. Did you at least rinse off in the outside showers? Loved the pictures, felt like I was right there with you.
We visited BB this trip, too! I like TL better. I just think its a little prettier.
I wanted to make a run for the shower, but I decided to just see what would happen if I distracted myself by taking pictures. I was actually just trying to take my mind off the burn and, fortunately, it worked.
Love that Denny was onboard. I will warn you, the studio has very little storage because of the murphy bed. I lived out of the suitcase which I don't like to do. It made packing really easy though.
Boo. I like storage. Denny, on the other hand, can live out of a suitcase and leave his clothes all over the floor. I hate that. Oh Well, as long as the rome is bigger than the rooms at BLT. I am sure I will still love it, despite the storage issue.
I love all the raft rides too. Also not a fan of the body slides and water wedgies. Thanks! I really can't wait to stay there. It's going to be so amazing!
I just commented! If only I had arrived a day earlier. Maybe I could have crashed too. You better call me when its time for the Poly crash! YAY!
We had such a fun night at MK. Perfect weather. And being almost the only ones on POTC was pretty fun. Thanks. We loved it. I really recommend you give it a try. You definitely won't regret it. The view is amazing and it just feels so amazing to be that high up in the air with no one around. Thanks. It really is exciting. I honestly can't wait to stay there. It's going to be great! We really should go. It was just breath taking up there. I loved every minute of it. Not scary at all - just really COOL! I know you have very sensitive skin so perhaps you can relate somewhat. Fortunately it didn't last long, but it was odd. Nothing like that has ever happened to me before and at first I was sure I had a chemical burn. Ouch. But you have to admit you know what I'm talking about. If you don't then you just need to get around a few pharmaceutical sales reps.
