I posted a review of our Deluxe Club level BC room on the Concierge board here:

Thanks to everyone here for all the info, it helped a bunch with our stay!

Thanks for the review and info about your Deluxe CL stay!

I appreciate you sharing the info, especially about the water. I didn't know that the small bottled Dasani waters were available upon request, so that is very helpful news.

Thanks everyone for the encouragement! Just realized that MNSSHP will be on the go then too... If I don't die from the heat, I think it would be so much fun. Really a fantastic motivator, and a great reward for hard work.

When we were there in May, they had the blue runners... How recent was the Trip Advisor pic?

What a great motivator TOT 10 would be. If you are starting now you will be fine by next Sept! When properly trained it is amazing what the human body can do! The heat will be bearable and the. You get to enjoy WDW
We are all behind you

I will hopefully have the schedule on August 1st or 2nd. I can't usually get it before then. As soon as I have it, I will post it here.
.

This made me realize how soon my trip is. I will be using this schedule!!!

Nanette hopefully things are starting to turn a corner with your luck. Congrats to Stephanie and her hunka burning love Stan! I think your daughter's courage and flexibility in moving to be closer to her love is a testament to her talent and abilities. It takes a lot to have the confidence to go for what you want in life and I think she will be fabulous in her new career!

I'm so happy to hear the news!!! Congrats to your daughter.

(And you, continue to heal)

Thank you both!

I'm sure this info is on here somewhere but just for a quick answer, did the BC CL add the brewed coffee pot in addition to the Nescafe machine like the YC CL did? I'm assuming if one lounge did then the other probably did as well, but I'd like to know for sure so I'll know if I need to pack my own coffee.

19 days!!!!!!!!

DD FINALLY got a job!!! She is a lawyer by trade but doesn't want to practice law

~Nannette

You'd be surprised how many lawyers don't want to practice law. I work in a law firm and have heard of several who decided to give it up. The sister of one of my attorneys worked in a NYC law firm and probably about a year and a half ago she decided she'd had enough of practicing law. I think maybe about the time she was planning her own wedding. All the long hours and requirements for meeting billable hours...I don't think I could do it either.

I do work for another attorney who just turned 70 a couple weeks ago. He absolutely loves it and has no plans to retire. I wish I loved my job that much...but I don't want to work those kinds of hours no matter what I'm doing.

Is all of the refurb work done on SAB now? I know they were doing lots of work around the resort but read that the SAB closures/rehab work looked especially bad and were very confining.

TIA for any answers

I asked the same question about a month ago. According to everyone here all the construction is done. They reopened the hot tub, the lazy river, the slide, everything that was going on this spring. Hopefully that info was correct! We are very excited to have the whole SAB this time instead of part of it being blocked off.

Yup another refugee lawyer here. I ended up in education although I worked at law schools for almost ten years before staying home with my dd when she had health issues.

OMGosh, could this really be true? Fresh brewed coffee? I haven't heard anything about it, but would love to know the answer as well. Maybe we could email IPO??

19 days, awesome! I just counted, 33 days until we check in to BC CL, too!

Yep thats what it is the whole quality of life thing... her closest friend in Texas is an attorney and she does nothing but work.. her billable hours where the 3rd highest of all the firms!!! Stef does not want that life style at all!!

I can see this happening with my daughter...just graduated from Villanova in May...taking the bar in Boston in a couple of weeks. But I don't really think she'll end of practicing law Hopefully she'll find her way....

 

[KerriL]

19 days!!!!!!!!

Me too!!

19 days!!!!!!!!

103 days! Not quite as exciting as 19, but I don't think I could handle going in July/August.

That's the way it was at YC CL in March. Now I never asked them what type of coffee it was, but to me it tasted better than what was coming out of the machine. I will email them to ask.

new friends!

Glad to have you joining us!

I'll put you on the list.

Thank you for the welcome. I love it when a thread is open and friendly. There are some resort ones out there where I didn't feel welcomed at all. I am sooooo excited to be here and I am trying so hard to catch up! I will, I will! So, I've made a new ticker today for Beach Club Resort. I am sooo excited!

I like it! I agree this thread is extremely welcoming and a lot of fun to boot!

Dee, looks like I now have a different song stuck in my head (Land of Misfit Toys from Rudolph!)
