nye trip report

[kem330]

Flew back in the snowstorm yesterday after 6 days of 75- 80 degree sunny weather- what a reality check! This had to be the best weather we've had in 5 trips at that time of year. We really appreciated it as trip was almost cancelled due to mil serious medical condition- (still in the hospital after 7weeks and 6 surgeries). Rooms were in relatively good condition- 2 BR dedicated 2Q 333 and dedicated studio 331. Room was clean, cushions are loose and fall off the bench seat easily- couch has some staining. You can definitely see some wear and tear on tables. Water pressure was good and a/c worked fine . View of woods and BC is quiet and peaceful, not much illuminations view but glad not to be on the road and close to elevator. Lots of welcome homes. Parks were extremely crowded. Even by the 2nd there were mobs in MK late at night. Chefs de france was terrible NYE- should have done byof's at gazeborobs! Filet was cooked to death, all around bad meal. Tried FF and it was good but CG was still our favorite (like the setting and menu better). Shulas' was nothing special and overpriced. Transportation worked well, no sharing with the swan/dolphin. Tiffany Town Car airport pick up was bargain at $75 RT however the driver who wrote the 6:30 am return pick up on his card for me failed to show up! I was a nervous nelly as flights are all oversold on United. DS was on an 8:15 am flight, we had a 9:05 am. Another driver showed up at 7:00am and we made it to the airport by 7:20. Fortunately the security lines were not too long and son made it on flight (we took his luggage with us) Of course our flight was then delayed by snow for 2 hours. Moral- call and confirm return time even if driver says not necessary!

kem330,

The grill was plenty hot for more food. And to top it off, we had King Crablegs to go with our steaks. Our dinner at home was perfect. We then headed to EPCOT at 8:30 for the evening festivities. It was a great night all around.
