Have you been able to try the Wave yet?

I don't think we will be eating there although that may change.

I just thought of a couple more questions. Have you noticed any brochures or ads talking about the new DVC there (other than the big tower itself being built )
Also, are they selling the refillable mugs right at the tempo grab-n-go?
How much longer are you staying down there?

Thanks again!

I have not seen any brochures about the Bay Lake Towers, because every Cast Member I ask about them has no idea what they are, expect for one who said will my family and I purchase DVC here when it goes on sale.

Also they are also selling the Year of a Million Dreams logo mugs at the Tempo Grab & Go.

Finally we check-out this Saturday and since we drove down we will arrive home next Monday.

Hey CR Fan: I have a question about the room service menu. Has it changed to reflect the new menu at The Wave? I'm assuming that room service would now come from The Wave as the steakhouse has closed.

Thanks!

As I type this I am looking at the room service menu and there does seem to be some new items. I am assuming that some dishes are the Pan-Seared Salmon and the Durban-Martinated and Naturally Raised Chicken.

Just came back from Epcot and here is how things went. Since it was Morning Extra Magic Hour we decided to be there for the 8:00 AM opening and we would have, however the Monorail stopped on the track just before arriving at the Epcot station. However after we got in we went right to Soarin and only had about 5 minute wait. After that I went on Test Track as a single rider and walked right on, plus I got to skip the pre-show. After that it was off to Spaceship Earth, Journey Into Imigination and then because we had Fast Passes we saw Soarin a 2nd time. We had wanted to eat lunch at the Electric Umbrella for 11:00 AM however the line was right outside the door, so maybe it had to do with free dining. So instead we had lunch at the Liberty Inn at the American Pavilion. Anyway that is basically it and I don't think we would not have got so much done if it was not for the Morning Extra Magic Hour.

Is there a lot of rain down there now? We are heading in Saturday and IM just wanting to know what to expect.

Last week from Tuesday - Friday there was alot of rain because of Fay. After that the days have been great and the usual rain in the afternoon, although on Saturday that Tropical Storm Gustov might come into Florida and could turn into a Hurricane.

CR Fan, I have kind of an obscure question that you might be able to answer. Have you noticed when the food offerings are put out in the Atrium Club lounge if the CMs are wearing gloves?

I'm asking because we're booked for several nights there this Christmas and I have a latex allergy -- can't eat anything that's been in contact w/latex, and many food service folks use latex gloves.

Of course I can ask myself when I get there, but I thought if it was something you knew off-hand, it would be one less thing to think of when we arrive.

They are not wearing gloves however when they bring out any types of foods it's already on plates and trays, so I hope that helps.

Hopefully you'll catch a meal at the Electric Umbrella later in your trip. Last year that was our best surprise meal. We felt they had the best french fries, and ended up eating there again another day.
