We are new members as of this year. Maybe we can meet sometime. I would like to go back at least once during the fall and again at Christmas. Christmastown has become almost an annual tradition for us.
Haha a flow-bee...remember that as sold on tv thing to cut hair?
Glad my DVR is chock full, between disney +, netflix & amazon I should be good to get thru the winter.
I prefer HRH over RPH, mostly because the RPH has often gotten quite crowded, especially in the pool area, when we have visited. Don’t like majority of food at HR. Palms nice but never more than one meal there for us. Kitchen’s experiences have been consistently dismal going back decades for us, have given up entirely on it. Surprising, the pool side F&B service has been to our liking. Their servers tend to really hustle and know their jobs.
Have wanted to see it, especially decorated for holidays.
Lol you usually have to deal with disney to get that sort of customer service
Had hoped they might be able to waive that magic wand and be able to transfer the deposits between the properties. For some that may be an issue to wait for deposits to clear.
Not a CB fan, but to each their own. The DC might be enough to sweeten the pot for many but it’s a huge downgrade from SF in all senses of the word
I’m still surprised they aren’t offering help to those who have accessible needs. The parking lot is a bit of a haul from all the resorts
Best laid plans
. Now you have to buy something else hahaWas just lamenting on another thread $200 now appears to be ‘great rate’ threshold ugh
Never stayed there, it looked nice from our view out window at CB. Not to crap on a property others like, but just don’t get the allure of CB and I’m all in on WDW values, so that’s not it. Would def book Advertura
Now I’ll be giving the side eye to all the other guests (wondering if they grabbed the golden ‘cancellation’ ticket when there
JK, take the mummy dust & run...it’s a really nice opportunity for many who normally wouldn’t book the pricier resorts
We downloaded the Peacock app so we could watch Psych the Movie 2. We binged watched the Psych series at the start of the pandemic.
Yes, the Christmas decorations are gorgeous. I may have a few pictures somewhere. They run some of the rides, but not all. Obviously the water rides are closed. We go for the shows. They have several Christmas shows from secular to religious. One show features Olympic figure skater Elvis Stojko.
You don’t have to do a thing
That’s good to read they did the right thing
Good Afternoon Julie and Schumi.
A nice quiet start to my Saturday. Sunrise was so pretty, and a bright and sunny morning so far.
And Schumi, I am so happy for you, that your trip to Scotland is on. And a hehe, my mum was hard to get ahold of too, sometimes. Busy ladies. Good for them.
No real plans today, though will go with little one to pick up her order. Maybe do a little shopping too, while there. Otherwise, it will be nice to walk around on a flat floor, with the AC on, as It is a huge mall. Just hoping not too crowded, as if so, a pick up and leave. Why I want her to be there around opening. Most on a weekendare not early starters to shop. Though no matter when we have gone, there has been lines for some stores. Thankfully, we do not shop at them, anyway.
And so, a weekend usually means a quiet house in the morning, errands run, and a relaxing day. I expect this Saturday is no different. Yay!
Ah, saw no PBH until later too, would have happily switched to there. I feel for the workers there. I am just very happy, I can still get away, and have some park time.
And a small dip in rental car prices. But yay, for less than a ten dollars difference from a midsize to a premium car, guess what car I reserved? Yep, I have seen mini vans and other not what I want cars on the midsize aisle. Though I am now arriving at night, I am hoping to find a nice car, I like, on that premium aisle. But as any rental, I will continue to check, cancel and rebook, hoping to get the best rate I can. If a full size is offered at a much better price than other size cars, I may switch. While still quite a bit higher than last year, it is finally getting to a price I can live with. I know I have to pay for parking, but that’s always part of my known costs. I like to explore, and the ease of going whenever and where ever I want. I definitely will go to Disney Springs, still have gift cards for a burger place close to PBH, and maybe a visit to the Mall, also not far from the resorts. On the way to the Mall, is a Krispy Kreme, so if their light is on, yep a donut stop too. I am not fond of the City Walk donuts, and don’t mind a KK one. KK’s are smaller, so I can get different flavors to try, instead of one large donut.
With that, Schumi always has me at bacon. And I’d be with the pizza ordering guys, as not a fan of many Indian dishes. Ah, and Tom’s also an August birthday. I do feel sad, that your looked forward trip in September is no more, but with all going on, changes are expected. At least you can get away, soon, and then later. I hope your Ho Ho trip report does have live posts, and posts from the just done trip.
And so, not much to say, time to refill the tea pot, and enjoy the big screen, as the remote is mine. And,

Overcast day here. Waiting for the mr to return from walking the track to whip up some bacon & garden tomato sandwiches as brunch
Thankful to have GPS for road trip to pick up the GD at a gymnastics camp this afternoon. I’m old enough to remember trying to read a map while driving solo

Was asked if I’m going to explore ‘free’ peacock-NBC. Um no

Have heard BG-W goes all out on Xmas holiday decorations. Are all the attractions open?

Have been using an employer corporate code with avis that started out months ago in $230 range for full size, 9 days. What I noticed this week is when I pull up the reservation it actually states “Lowest Rate” on it. Didn’t notice that when I first booked.
Not sure if it means that’s their historical lowest rate or it means the lowest on any given day though. Will still keep checking but lucky if I remember to do so once a week now.

. We were all sat on the sofas in the kitchen and the puppy was quite happy on Tom`s lap......I said we should take Poppy round so she knows the place if we ever look after her occasionally.....all was good till we went into the dining room.....she stopped and looked at the wall growling and whimpering.....we thought it was a spider.....nothing there......then she began to "follow" something on the wall as whatever it was moved around the room.......it was very odd. She wasn`t happy and kept watching upwards and growling. Then yelped and turned to get out of the room......we were all a little bemused with friend telling us she`s said for a time this place is haunted....lol....it is old, but that`s about it.....
I love that room. Looks like a great place to set up a reading area.
We are going mid Sept, 11-13 Just a weekend trip. Hoping it wont be too hot, but if it is anything like MS, it will still be boiling
