I really liked CL, we all did. But we also didn't use it nearly enough. We were barely up in time for breakfast (we sleep late on vacation) and then since we get out later, we couldn't really make it back in time for the evening stuff.
I don't know, ponder, ponder, ponder....![]()
I thought we'd all really miss CL when we stayed at BLT in August, but we really didn't. I missed the wonderful CMs and I much prefer CL check-in, but other than that, it wasn't a hard transition. We did do a split with CL after BLT, but even so, we really appreciated the huge villa and all its amenities more than having a lounge.I found that last trip CL just wasn't cutting it for us for the the timing issue as well as other reasons. Plus CR and BC have our least favorite CLs so I don't think I'm going to get the itch to upgrade. I'm excited to try a trip without it just to see if we really do miss it.
babyberger, thinking good thoughts for you for your upcoming surgery. Recovery time means more time to spend on the DIS and tweeking upcoming trips
chimo2u, sorry you are suffering from the blues. With your kids growing up life changes a bit, sometimes you just have to be blue before you embrace the changes. It gets better.
Been emailing with WL IPO this morning!![]()
Can't wait to hear what you've been up to with the IPO

I second the sentiment and advice

chimo2u: These trips to WDW can be filled with intense emotion. They are wonderful to plan and partake in, but also come with stress and usually high expectations. Sometimes a break is a good thing (but, that's not directed toward you, JC). I'll be honest with you, I told Jeanette right after we got home from WDW that I actually could use a little WDW break. We spent around 34 nights in a year there and I actually haven't booked our next trip yet - and that's OK. You'll be OK, too

What color did he choose for the curtains?I just wanted to share a picture of this beauty that we are having built in the backyard today....
DH is in heaven to finally have a "man cave" to retreat to!!![]()
When I stayed at YC/CL-GV, I requested 'Gazebo View', but didn't get it. They upgraded us to a view overlooking SAB which was very noisy and I disliked it. I also requested (as I always request), 'no connecting door.' I highly recommend this if you like it nice and quiet like us. ALL sound travels through those doors and I learned long ago never to accept a room with one again.I asked for "quiet, away from lobby" on the ressie when I called earlier but I'll be on the phone with them shortly to change that to "Wedding Gazebo View, if available. Pretty please." How'd you find the sound levels at YC? Was it pretty quiet inside your room? What is it that you love about YC? (Miss M might not be sold on YC but I figured we'd go for something slightly different but with all the amenities we love.)
The RC thread should prove very DIStracting for you, oh, and the wine (just don't mix it with the painkillersProbably bed ridden for about 4 days (but at least at home in my bed) with the entire first week being pretty rough. Hopefully after day four I should be able to at least drive the kids back and forth to school, but probably wont do much else for a week or so. Nurse said dont plan on anything major for at least 2-3 weeks and to expect full (or close to full) recovery in about 4-6 weeks. Which includes no lifting anything over 10 lbs during recoveryI see lots of pain killers and WINE in my future
We did happen to have a very LOUD family next to us at YC, the same family that was smoking on the balconyWe did have a connecting room, so I wonder how much that played into us hearing them. It only bothered me when my kids were sleeping and their son was still up and yelling at his parents
We really loved the quiet slow feel of the resort, it wasnt as busy at BC, just more mellow I guess. I think the rooms are identical, except for the colors, so you know what to expect that way. Oh and at YC you are sure to have a full balcony
We loved watching Illuminations from ours!

I will never stay at BC, but I really like YC's atmosphere. I think it attracts fewer families with young children than BC and also more conventioneers and retired guests. But, their CL lounge is very small, like BC
