You're welcome, Cotillard. But, as of 2000, trimmed mustaches are permitted so maybe the CM did have one?Very well said.
And thanks for the link re. facial hair. I don't know why in the world I remembered that cast member as having had a mustache?
I'm 99.87% positive there are accounting reasons they can't do that.
?
Psshhhhh.... I didn't even last a night at POFQI was there for 4 hours before moving to Coronado
You may have broken the land speed record for resort changing!
I have to agree with that. To paraphrase Lloyd Bentsen: "I know sarcasm. Sarcasm is a friend of mineJerseyJanice said:
. JerseyJanice's posts were not sarcastic."It's unlikely bus drivers are making 90 degree (or close, or sharper) turns at 40 mph. The bus would roll over. A turn may feel fast, especially for guests not accustomed to public transportation, but turns are made at a safe speed.The problem we've always had with the YC/BC is that while you're paying deluxe resort prices, (and goodness knows - they are DELUXE !) You still have to be crammed like a sardine into a bus just to get to the MK. (A bus that, depending on the driver, takes turns at about 40mph as everyone standing hangs on for dear life. I swear, some of the drivers do that for their own amusement.).
Where and what's the return? Easier access to the MK? Stay at an MK-area resort for a couple of days of your trip, or walk through Epcot. But it's not 'just' building an extra line - at, what, $10,000,000 per mile? You also have the issue of where to put the supports, redesigning and increasing the platform outside Epcot, building a platform at YC/BC...Joshua_me said:

That, and they don't serve Sprite zero.
Another land speed resort changing record
I lasted less than that, about 30 minutes while checking in.
There are only two resorts at Disney that I have tried very hard to like, AKL and the BWI and Villas.
So I have accepted that it is me, not them, for if you do a search I have never posted a unfavorable review.
Niether appeal to me on many levels, so I figure since many others do, we will all be happy.
Well part of that problem is the guests don't have a specifc table for their dirty plates and etc. So basically if the Cast Member see a plate hasn't been used for at least 1 minute they think were done and will come right up and take it away, when we might want to use it again. So if the guests complained about having to walk a few feet and place their dirty plates on another table then I think there is something wrong with that, because at the Contemporary, Boardwalk Inn and Polynesian their Club Level lounges have a specifc table for dirty plates and etc. So the guests aren't forced to leave them on the tables.Is it possible they were watching the lounge/tables so closely to allow them to quickly clean any tables needing it? Maybe they'd had complaints from guests having to bus their own tables
Sounds like they're wrong no matter what they do or whom they try to please
I have to ask though - Scott at BWI was the stresse out worker when we were there in 09. Is he still there? Sort of a younger guy....We stayed YC CL in 2010 and 2011 and loved it (especially barbara the older woman..she is wonderful) - Sort of the "pete" of YC CL if that makes sense...
Yes Scott is still working CL at the BWI and he was mentioned in my review, plus he was also very friendly and we always enjoyed talking with him.Pete at BWI is FANTASTIC. I love that man! I will totally agree with CR FAN that BWI CL Staff is great. (Little too chatty in some cases like I mentioned before but that is just me not preferring that....). I wish I could take SAB and put it in front of BWI!
I get that. But I'd rather have my used plate taken away by a CM/staffer than have it sitting on my table, or worse, enter the CL lounge to see a table stacked with dirty dishes. Ugh! And reusing your plates just isn't sanitary. If you've ever eaten at a buffet, they tell you to take a clean plate every time you get more food (rather than risk getting crumbs or partly eaten food from your used plate in the fresh food - which they won't tell you, but that's the reason).
It's unlikely bus drivers are making 90 degree (or close, or sharper) turns at 40 mph. The bus would roll over. A turn may feel fast, especially for guests not accustomed to public transportation, but turns are made at a safe speed.

Best of my knowledge, AKL and BWI are designed the same.

The only bit of humor in that post was the birdbath abmnd I smiled after my response to that. Heck, everybody knowsIts apparant this poster was being humorous. Why rip hip him apart with boring technicul stuff. Did you not "get it"? Lighten up a little.
WDW counts puddles as water views! As for the "boring technical" stuff, well, if I thought it were either I wouldn't have bothered knowing or sharing it. Most of the post I quoted wasn't intended to be funny. I simply answered in kind.
We checked in--we were running a little late to get to our lunch reservation--get alllllllllll the way to the room that was in the back corner of nowhere, open our chipped paint door. There's a dresser drawer on the floor, towels and soap in the tub, garbage in the bathroom garbage can, and the jesters on the bedspread were staring at me. I couldn't stop thinking about the jesters. We didn't have time to mess around so we just dropped our stuff and went to HS. I was silent and he knew I was having a panic attack about the room and the resort. I had switched back and forth between there and CSR and I'm like--we should have went with CSR. I didn't enjoy my lunch--all I was thinking about were that the jesters were going to stare at me when I would sleep So, we play in HS, get back to the resort to change into our California Grill clothes, and I send him back to the room and told him I have business to attend to. I went to the front desk with my camera phone and they told me they were full and couldn't move me--I said--oh well that's great, because I'd like to go to CSR if available. I had to go thru 3 unfriendly, eye rolling people before they had a van ready for us to go 
I called Dave and said, "pack'er up! we're going to Coronado" It was 100% amazing there--they gave us free drink coupons for our engagement too!--we were so happy and sooooo glad we didn't sleep with the jesters. Now that they're gone (new bedspreads) I'm wondering if I should give it another try... but I doubt it.
