We arrived on Oct. 19th. Flew Spirit and was glad about extra security. Plane had to be de-iced so cold out. Got a Chevy TrailBlazer. HUGE! From EA. Total cost for 14 days is $221.00! We got a great deal. Arrived to a cloudy day but hot! Checked into BC and we are using YC Concierge. It is great as always. The Yacht Club Glalley will serve it last dinner tonight and will be closing forever. No Plans for it to re-open. Went to EPCOT and it showered off and on but not too bad. JIYI ride is down for rehab. Opening next summer with FIGMENT as the star! F&W started today! Saw ToD parade, I loved it! Very nice!

Went for breakfast at Concierge! Last night we had dinner there and it was enough for me to make a meal but my DH & DS later went to Beaches & Cream for Cheeseburgers. LOL!

This morning to MGM. No crowds here! Very empty. Weather today was supposed to rain, never did. It is now 5 pm and is is so hot and sunny we wore tank tops and shorts last night and today. I loved the big hat! Bought the pins that light up out of internet pins but will get them on Tuesday. Rode everything without FP. RnR was 15 min. stand-by! Back to room to swim, plenty of chairs by S along Bay. Typing this on our full size balcony. We are moving to a suite in 2 days! Going to Flying Fish tonite for dinner and then to F & W for my icewine! We ate a great luvh at Mama Melrose! Well, off to shower for dinner. More later. Hope you enjoy this!

Thank you very much for your post. We are going in 2 weeks and your info. will be priceless. After all, you are there to report the first of the changes and how things are going. I hope many people read it and see that even with the shorter hours, a terrific time can be had.

If at all possible, we'd love to see more daily reports. I know your on vacation and all, but we are waiting anxiously to hear how it's going and how to plan.

Thanks again and have a Disney Day!!!!

P.S. - You can buy the pins at the parks or resorts, can't you? They sound like lots of fun!

Wow - you are making me even more excited. I'll be at YC Concierge Dec.3rd for my Mom's 70th birthday trip.
Do you think the concierge staff would do something special for the occasion?
Keep having fun...and posting for us in real time - what a treat.

We ate at the Yacht Club Galley twice for lunch last week. Is it closing just for dinner or for all meals?
