Live from AsSpo!

I requested ground floor and preferred and got both. Check in was a breeze, it took all of five minutes at the most in the online check in line.

Now for a chicken caesar salad, a swim, and then time for the Atlantic Dance NYE party!
 
The swim was accomplished, the salad was delicious, the food court is empty, and the room is very clean and well kept :)
 
Hi Karen!!! YEAH ... I'm First! :woohoo:

So glad to hear everything was smooth sailing (even the flight, right?? :goodvibes)

Will definitely check in later, but we will be at a friend's house so can't be on-line as much as I want or I will be a very bad guest. :)

Did you get my text from the other day?? I hope so.

Have a fabulous time and I look forward to reading your TR!! We will be with you in spirit!

Happy New Year!! May this be your best yet!!!
:banana::banana:
 
Hey Karen - Glad to hear check-in was easy and the room is great! Was thinking about you a bit agod when I read an email from Touring plans about how crowded WS in Epcot is on NYE.

Happy New Years!
 

Big OOPs wrong thread :lmao:

Me too! We're heading out soon, but I'll check in later! Happy New Year, and have a great time!! :yay:
 
Sounds like it was a smooth flight and check-in went great!

Enjoy your NYE - I'll be checking in because it's me and the pups tonight...and they are already sleeping!!! :rotfl:

Food court is empty? Where is everyone? Are they at the AD NYE party? I guess we won't find out until 2012...

Hope you're having a GREAT time, Karen and Happy New Year to everyone!
 
Hope you're having a great time!!

It's just me here... DH is working... and doggy is passed out! Are you going to any fireworks tonight??
 
Took me all year to get here :lmao: Glad to hear you made it safely, and I assume everyone was at the parks, so that's why the food court was empty ;) Hoping the crowds are heading home and you enjoy the rest of your trip...I was checking your other thread...sorry I am late for the party :hug:
 
Hope you had a great first day of 2012, Karen!!:cheer2:

When is the move to CR?:dance3:

Thank you and Happy New Year to you too!

Subscribing to your live trip report.

Thanks! I took a few pics of the crowds at BWI for you - it was insane

Hope you're having a great time!!

They had fireworks from the balcony and they were lovely :)

Hug back!

Hope you had a great first day of 2012, Karen!!:cheer2:

When is the move to CR?:dance3:

Long story about CR - more on that tomorrow ;)
 
There is free internet at (ahem) POFQ so I took the chance to upload some of my pics.

Here are the shots of BWI first.

It got a lot more crowded as the night went on. They had a live DJ and noisemakers as well as party hats that they were giving out on the Boardwalk. There was also a cart selling glowing light up 2012 necklaces.

The Boardwalk was packed by midnight!
 
So funny story....

I had a very strong feeling that I should stay at POFQ instead of at CR this trip, so the night before I left I changed again. :rolleyes1

I try not to ignore my strong feelings - and it all worked out for the best. I had so much fun on NYE that I lost my id case with my credit card in it. :sad2:

So I called the morning of the 1st to cancel my card, and no sooner had I hung up the phone I received a call from BWI saying that they had my id case with my credit card in it. Poop. That was the only card I brought with me too. :guilty:

Well POFQ has been wonderful, and let me check in without paying for the room (since it was going on my CC) So now I have to find out if they can overnight a new card for me to Riverside, so I can pay for my room. :upsidedow

And my room BTW is on the first floor, second from the corner in building 2, steps away from a DSA. :thumbsup2 I love the new refurbbed rooms, and am trying to figure out if they will miss the shower curtain when I leave.... The free WiFi is also great to have.

When I checked out of AsSpo I caught a bus for AK - the only park open, and waited for a bus to POFQ. I was at the stop for about 5 minutes tops when a bus supervisor came over and told me to get on another bus to take me to POFQ. Without me even having to ask anyone. So I had my own private bus ride to POFQ. :woohoo: Now that's service! :love:

Check in was a breeze, and my room was ready so I'm a happy camper!

Now I'm going to grab a sweatshirt and head out to a park (I don't know which one) so I can have some Disney fun. I haven't been to a park yet. :rolleyes:
 
At Atlantic Dance Hall the VIP ticket covered a private balcony for fireworks, extra seating, coffee service and dessert bar.

How awful about the CC, but glad it was found and not used. Should not be a problem to have it FEDEX overnight to you. Fingers crossed!

Are you moving to Riverside? Ask for a refurb room - the news ones are sooo nice!

How many more nights before you have to leave for home? :(

Enjoy!!!:cool1:
 
Karen - Glad your CC was returned to you even if you had already cancelled it. Fingers crossed the CC company will express you a new one overnight. Sounds like BW and Atlantic Dance Hall was a good pick for NYE. The desserts look yummy in the pics

I remember you were thinking about changeing from CR , not sure about the DSA, nice that you were placed in a room near the DSA. I know when I was still smoking and we stayed at OKW it was nice having the DSA right outside the door practically. I agree nice service getting a private bus ride to POFQ

Can't wait to hear what Park you went to today.
 
Very nice about PO, sorry about CR...but sounds like it was ALL GOOD!

If you don't get your CC in time..I'll bail ya out girl :hug:
