Stiff-That is how our family fell in love with the WL. As soon as we walked into the lobby we knew that it was THE place for us!
Cristy-Too bad we will miss each other! I have eaten at Portobello's and loved it. Now, I must admit that is does not stick out in my mind like Jiko, Cirticos or Artist's Point, but DH and I agreed that we would definitely return. The roasted garlic and bread they put on the table before dinner is divine! Mmmm...goes so well with a nice crisp chardonnay! Of course, just about everything goes well with a chardonnay to me! As far as the fireworks at CG...please let us know how it turns out. I know there is also the observation deck there, so maybe you can go there if not the lounge. But I cannot see why they would not want you up there spending money on a pre dinner cocktail!
Poohbear-You are just a few days away, too!
Robinb- You know how sometimes you don't post certain things, cuz you figure the person you are posting to already knows all about the topic? Well, that is NOT the case here! I TOTALLY forgot about the close proximity of POFQ to OKW. I really want to go to Jellyrolls, but I was thinking maybe not this trip, cuz DH and I don't want to be driving all over the world. Now, let me get some more info from you...what is the order of resorts the boat goes to that goes to DTD? Is it POR- POFQ- OKW? Is SSR in there somewhere? I know we will find all this out when we get there, but I like to have some sort of a plan in my mind!
Oh, I am gonna go out on a limb here...my guess is beer pong maybe some sort of drinking game. But now MY question to YOU is...what the heck is a BEER BONG? I know what a "Bong" is, but a beer bong? Is it like the funnel or something!
Just want all the lushes to know that I have my Captain Morgan Rum, club soda, limes and cans of beer (beer is for DH) all ready for the pool tomorrow! We will get to OKW early and we know the room may not be ready, so we are planning on lounging by the pool. I will have drinks at the resorts when we go out to dinner at night (I like martinis, but don't plan on mixing them up poolside LOL) Will they give me a hard time about making drinks at the pool? Can we take a cooler to the pool? I purposely bought CLEAR Capt Morgan Spiced rum, so as not to alert people to the fact that I am indulging in an alcoholic beverage...PLUS, I am putting it it a empty evian bottle. Am I clever or what?

I bought the beer in cans, cuz I am sure they do not want glass by the pool. Oh, and BTW...weather report says 60% chance of rain.

That is not cool, dude! LOL!
Oh, just wanted to share...we are leaving WDW on Tuesday, and that day I am planning a surprise for DH. I got the idea from the boards! I am getting him a private golf lesson at Palm/Magnolia Golf Course! It is $75 for 45 minutes and will be videotaped. I am telling him some friends will be getting into WDW early in the morning Tuesday and the husband wants to meet him for golf. Heehee! I am so clever! He will be so surprised, especially since I am the one usually COMPLAINING about his playing golf so much!
Ok, I will check back later...hopefully Robin will check in again to answer my questions...or I may just post the question on the board or do a search.
