Saga of the Queen of Resort Changes~Two TRs in One *COMPLETED*

[Grumpy Grandma]

I LOVE THE BOATS!!!!

 

[dizneeat]

The quest of finding a place to have dinner at!

But I just love the idea of travelling around the Monorail resorts and then deciding to go back to YOUR resort! Even though your DH does not know what he was missing at the Wave! We love that place - some things sound a bit odd, but they TASTE fantastic.

On the other hand, we drove to RF for breakfast, so who am I kidding.

It was so nice! And the WL boats were always the fastest, could've been luck. I'll take it Mama

Hi Karin! It was nice, because in doing that we got to tour CR which we have never done. I am sure he would've been pleased with the food, but getting him in there... He liked the flatbread at RF...then he got his beer back in the room...the CL folk hooked us up!!!

 

[WDWKOOK]

How can DH not like CC? Even mine loves it. Has he ever eaten there? We actually prefer it over RF, especially for the ease of ordering and getting to watch the monorail (and birds) while you eat.

I thought you were the resort conflicted one, but really, you and DH are a match made in heaven - you're both resort conflicted. You must be going in circles all the time when you're together. Poor kids...

More TR, please

Hi Jeanette!! Getting caught up with your TR again.

Love the pix of you two at BTST and at the camp fire! (and no you don't look drunk at all, you two are just happy in love! )

BTW, we love RF too....

Soarin' ... one of our favorites rides .... hmmm never have done it a little tipsy though ... guess you were really soarin' that time!

He was such a pain that night..I don't want this..nah...smack, smack...there was plenty he could've ordered at CC, but yeah...our kiddos are just as bad though

The Grey Goose slushie on top of the Sangria...yea I was feelin' it

I don't think Brian wanted to leave WL to begin with that night...should've let him eat more marshmallows...

 

[sjs314]

What to do about these males? Lol. Mine comes up with these strange ideas too, I mean I can' t get him back to the Poly and now he has decided GF is too snooty like and food bob is just too picky for his own good but as long as there is Italian food and burgers he will survive.

Our ADRs currently include Mama Melrose, Tony's, Tutto Italia, Via Napoli x2, then CS BW Pizza, Tutto Gusto

Le Cellier he loves their burger, Yak & Yeti for the Kobe Burger and the Plaza another burger

Wait till he finds out BOG is French

I love the boat at WL too

And then the complain they are sick of burgers

No one has to tell him it's French, Sheila Good to know about the Plaza burger...

Brian has crossed GF off our stay list....I haven't

WL is worth the price for the boat and atmosphere IMHO

 

[pas130]

So after we did Wishes from the room, and DH ate all of the turndown chocolates we decided to call it a night...I purposely did NOT set the alarm since it was our last chance to sleep in....

615 am...we were both up and ready to hit MK COMMANDO STYLE!

DME was picking us up at 530pm...plenty of time!

After our showers, grabbed coffee from lounge and sat on the balcony..grabbed CL breakfast, and hit the boat dock for MK!!!!

While waiting for the boat, a young boy (from NJ...small world) told us about the baby alligator they saw on the FW beach (now DH starts talking about River Monsters an the Momma Gator must be around) Really, thanks for that Brian... Then the subject was changed to tree frogs...tree frogs..those are cool!!!! Luckily the boat came (yes, DH was nice to re-enact the "bat" visit as well)

And we made it to MK!!! 1st stop Space Mountain for FP!!! This was DHs 1st SM ride, and he was already looking a little

We hit People Mover, Buzz Lightyear, Laugh Floor, and back to Space....DH was crunched, but he survived!!! Going onto the ride he kept asking, really Maddie liked the ride, are you sure??

The only pic I got successfully was from Buzz...

He won of course

Then it was off to BTMRR, which is always broken down so I think I've only riden once!!!! We got fastpasses as the wait was 50 minutes ... and headed off to Pirates and the jungle cruise!!!

Back to BTMRR, LOVED IT!!! Better than Space, and guess who got the back row!!!! LOVE the back!!!!!

Grabbed FP to give away later (kinda tradition) And they were given to the nicest people ever!!!!!

Off to lunch, it was early like 11ish, but CL cereal and muffins didn't hold us long...we hit Pecos Bill's. Seated quick, by the time we left the place was nuts!!! I had Pulled Pork sandwich YUM!!!! DH had a burger (shocker I know) but we split 1/2 and1/2 since he really loved the BBQ pork and I'm such a good wifey...

I remember Fantasyland being next, we did the carousel, IASW, Pooh, Barnstormer...ugh I should've finished my TR long ago....and the crowds and the heat....

What would you do???? Stay and hit rides...or head back to the pool with DH........

 

[dizneeat]

Your last day sounds so much like ours! Lots crammed in ........

but it seems you had a really nice last day, full of fun rides (even though your DH didn't enjoy Space that much )

As for the final question ...... I am asking myself what would WE do ....... and I guess after all those rides, the pool and a nice cold drink would win it for me.

Looking forward to what YOU decided to do!

 

[WDWKOOK]

Love the photo - such concentration! We liked that our Buzz photos were included with our PhotoPass+. DD rode with DH so I got to have lots of fun spinning and shooting.

I'm not going swimming because where would I shower and change for ME? I don't have a room anymore - I'm homeless

Well, we don't take ME, but at OKW there ARE showers and changing rooms right by the pool. Haven't tried it at any other resorts, but at least at OKW it would work.

True, but WL doesn't have showers or a changing area - what will Jeanette do? Maybe she'll use the outdoor shower head by the pool

YES YES YES!!!!!!!!!!!!! SWIMMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kookilicous, my dear dear friend....Sturdy Branches??? So WL does not have a poolhouse, but the wonderful CMs explained we could use the lockers and showers at the health club!!! Which you can get to from the VWL quiet pool easy peasy, directly from the outside!!! By the time we returned all the lockers were in use (I had a huge one luckily) so we weren't the only ones with the same idea!!

Back to WL!!! Went up and grabbed some drinks & snacks for poolside! We enjoyed the VWL quiet pool which was empty!! And then back over to the main pool! It started to cloud up a bit, so we showered, changed, and hit the pool bar...Brian and I tried EVERY FROZEN DRINK ON THE MENU over the next 2 hours!!!

Now it is after 4, so we head in to grab a quick bite from RF, say one last goodbye to WL and the wonderful CL CMs

Then we get the call from Grandma, little Brian has a fever and threw up twice....alas, our trip is done, it's time to go back to our babies

The final installment..a near DME DISTASTER

 

[dizneeat]

YEAH, you went swimming!!!!!

Love how you spent the rest of your day. Now on to the ME disaster .......

Let's just say everytrip I somehow get punished for too many changes...the DME issue...direct result of changes I am sure

 

[amandaw]

Sounds like y'all had a great last day in MK!

But so sorry to hear you had a little one who was sick back at home.

Welcome home

It was my sign to go home, it was easier to say goodbye to WL knowing my baby needed me The next week the illness ran through all the kiddos

The locker room at Sturdy Branches didn't even dawn on me since it's not next to the pool and I didn't know they allowed that (explains why it's noisy in that hallway when you're getting a massage there). Thanks for enlightening me

I'm not liking "fever" and "disaster"

All good We hit the quiet pool first since it was right there!!! I think Mike from WL was the one who gave us the scoop

Guess I should finish this TR so I can do the next
