Venomhatch,

Watched my Mom go through this. Don't worry...you can recover! But take it easy on yourself. My Mom would not give herself much grace on the occasional tough days. It's ok to have a tough day! It's not how they will all be. for those days and that they quickly pass.

I've been a lurker and touched by your kindness and dedication Venomhatch. Time to use those gifts for yourself. Count me in as one more praying for your speedy recovery.

We were able to upgrade to a pool view with our pin code. I'm really torn between AB and the mansions. We have a 4.5 year old daughter. We'd like to be near a bus stop and the food court. Are there any particular buildings that we should request ?

There are six Pool View rooms in Alligator Bayou building 18 (which is one of the preferred locations) so if you can snag one of those that would be perfect for you. It's very close to the food court, and an easy walk to the South bus stop too (go via the parking lot near building 14, there's a shortcut path leading straight to the main South bus depot).

Still at hospital all my tests come back. Everything is fine. I am in couadin and I had to get INR up a to certain level before I get out.

Good to hear! Hope you get out soon!

Andre likes AB section , but I like Mansions so here's an alternate idea for Mansion section. There is a pool in between Magnolia Terrace and Acadian House. The Old Man island bridge is right there which takes you to msin pool, and very close to food court, & main buildings. Also main bus stop. But we prefer either the North Depot behind Acadian House, or East Depot behind Magnolia Terrace.
So my requests are Acadian or Magnolia close to Old Man Island bridge. Andre has a resort map on pg 1.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

I went to the ER recently for a possible TIA. Scariest night of my life. Glad you are doing well.

We will be traveling to WDW in May with our almost two year old and almost 6 year old daughters.

We are staying at POR. Originally I was thinking of doing a 5:30pm carriage ride on our last night and a 7pm princess-y dinner. Thought the girls could wear princess dresses and we could have a fun treat for the carriage ride - sparkling grape juice, snack, etc.

5:30pm is the earliest time for a carriage ride.

Ideally, I would take a mid-day break with lunch, pool, naps, get bathed, and then go straight to the carriage ride.

I am second guessing the 6:55pm dinner with a two year old.

What would you do? We don't really have an alternative time to do it! Maybe on our arrival night? We have a 6:30pm Raglan Road and could maybe do a 5:30pm ride that night or a later one 8:30pm or later, but that feels like pushing it too.

We would be potentially cabbing it to dinner depending on the time with the buses. So that is not a major factor.

Thoughts?

You don't say where you are planning to eat, that would make a difference. You'll be finished with the carriage ride by 6pm, and if you want to go to another resort restaurant by taxi then that's plenty of time to get to a 7pm meal.

If it's in a park (e.g. Norway meal in Epcot) then you'd just about make it by cab, but it could be a bit of a rush.

I'd suggest if it's in the MK then you ideally could do with a bit more time for transfer by monorail (unless you get the cab to drop you off at the Contemporary and then walk to the MK, that might be quicker).

Blonde- I'm not sure about dinner, but I doubt that you'll be able to have food and drink on the carriage ride. I'd find out about that before planning on sparkling grape juice etc. Just a heads up.

 

[andrewilley]

iPhone 5 most menus seem to work with the exception of the one for Fultons. I get the Please pardon our apperence message.

I'm amazed no one has ever commented that I never got around to writing proper detail pages for the two shops - those 'work-in-progress' pages have been there for about 7 years!

You've embarrassed me into fixing that now anyway, both shops now have their own pages (largely similar admittedly, but there's not a lot extra you can say, they're shops! ).

Venom- glad to hear you are doing alright all things considered. Best wishes!

Ahhhh! I am sorry! The coveted "Be Our Guest". . Hence my dilemma. We ate lunch there on our last trip. While I read mixed reviews, it would be unique to dine there at night and meet the Beast.

We could always do 1900 Park for dinner and Be Our Guest for (maybe) breakfast or lunch.

Thank you for your detailed responses.
