The Poly -

- that is where we would like to stay! The GF seems too stuffy and if I were to buy DVC it would be at CR/BLT but a regular stay our top choice if we could stay anywhere would be the Poly. So Maroo - how many rooms can you book under this superduper whole year pin code of yours?
Hmmm - that should be interesting. Can't wait to see if anyone else tags along with the TC3!
I lost my quote about FD being two CS credits. It was already that way this year. The traditional FD was two 2 CS credits unless you were at a moderate or Deluxe resort, got a hippy dippy pin code so you can stay value and get 1 TS/1 CS (like I did) or paid to upgrade from two CS to 1 CS/1 TS. So unless there are more changes in the works, that is FD as we currently know it.
Oh no! Not those darn pipes again. Tell DH that water pipes in Kentucky don't burst but that Oregon has been known to have similar issues.
See, that's what I love about being here in this "community". I had no idea that FD was that way at values, so now I can plan accordingly "in the know". 2 nights ago, before I knew that, I was thinking I'd add Jiko's so as to pursue the AKL "trifecta" as Jordo refers to it-

- and that sounded just divine. Alas, without TS credits, there is no way===== unless, unless, I could swing in for coffee and dessert? Alert, new idea!!
I remember a comment at some point, "Let's see how the cookies crumble".... Just sayin'...
So...I say...the more the merrier!
And spliting the cost of a room is a great idea or even just sharing the code!
I also plan to get a Tables in Wonderland card for my Dec trip that I can use all year, too. To save money on food.
Hmm....
I wonder how much it would cost us to upgrade our Dining Plan to Deluxe? Maybe that would solve some issues? Not sure if we would really eat that much?? Not sure how much it costs? But that would give us 10 credits to use in those 6 days...?
That's what I"ve been saying all year long! Come on, let's see some more folks come out for the fun!!
TIW. That will surely help on our days w/o DP! We will have to find very creative ways to max that out, won't we??
You just let us all know what that figure would be. Although, I tend to agree, there's alrealy a lot of food with the reg. plan. But it would give us more choices.
I think you guys are too funny! What happens when they open three or four new dining establishments prior to your trip? I think you will love the Poly and the convenience of it.
Good luck with the pipes!
Do you know something we don't know?! ARe there new places opening up?? I do know that Kouzzina is new. Any others you could recommend? Do tell! Def. will be spending some time here, esp. in our
MNSSHP day.
Congrats on the code! An upgrade to the Poly is a great idea. I always loved staying there as a kid.
I'd say thanks, but it's not mine.

So, that poll ended up being a little prophetic after all. Now we can do MOST of the things on there! Cool beans, I say!
Wow, look at all I missed in just 2 days! A Pin Code, staying at the Poly, revealing restaurant choices, changing minds.....

I am glad I missed the drama on the PP thread on the CB though, it would have probably made me very angry, and who needs that?
All7ofUs - I think those 3 extra days by yourself will be awesome. How fun to be able to go back and just do whatever you want, things you missed, things you really enjoyed and want to do again, look at more closely, etc.
And I completely missed out on guessing for San Angel, though that pic did make me really hungry. Can I have a 1/2 point for guessing the country right on Tangierine Cafe if not the restaurant name?
I know! It's been a crazy few days here. My own head is still spinning, and now I have a zillion more questions than I did over the weekend!! Crazy stuff.
I only got through about 2 pages of that nonsense, I had to withdraw. Too emotional!
That's exactly what the half of me is saying!! I do love that! But the other half is saying, yeah, but what if there was someone there to split the cost of the room, and to share a few meals with? and to share the joy of what you've seen/done in your day with back at the room?? What if I could someone else who would want to go and do days solo and meet up for evenings and dinner?? That would be cool too!
OK, you're down for 1/2 a point. BTW, I fully intend to pick that game up again, but like in a couple of weeks. Maroo and I need to have some chat time and straighten a bunch of stuff out, then I can go on with the places I haven't yet and the places I love to hit up during my "solo" time. So, more points are possible for sure.
Sorry to hear about your explosive plumbing. That's gotta be a bummer!
But congrats on the Poly!
That's awesome!
The dining options look great.
As to solo time, I'd say go for it! I've seen quite a few solo TR's on here and they turned out great. I've done a day and a monring solo (trip 2 and an upcoming episode) and it is definitely a nifty change.
You know, that's not the first time our pipes have become rebellious and incorrigable!! I distinctly remember posting about the same time you had ummmm... POP? issues with power flushers that our toilet blew a hole out the back. Then when the city sent "technicians" they actually pumped raw sewage INTO!!!! my house.!!!!

It took days for the stench to recede and I had to pay my househelper about $100 for new clothes and extra salary to help clean it up. We have issues.
I think the solo will be great however it turns out. I think the first time is a little weird; oh I don't know, maybe it will only be "weird" for about an hour.

The unknown and all that...
