Something About Nothing..........# 9

Well that's not good. I lucked out and was able to get the members I was helping the 1 bedroom villa at AKV they wanted. Was trying to talk them into a 2 bedroom cause they wanted an actual bed for their daughter and not a fold out bed, but there were no 2 bedroom savannah views. But there's always next time they go!!

Checked again today and the only thing available is non Club Level Theme Park View ...

WHAT???
the rooms are filled already with the ap discounts.

oh my...

which room or setting did you want?
i thought you wanted club at the poly and liked the theme park view.

is that one more costly than the others?

since you moved up from staying POP last year, i thought you would return to the poly.
it is a wonderful resort.

We did want the Poly - and yes we did like the Club Level Theme Park View ... we were looking at booking Garden View Club Level which is about $200 less/night than Theme Park View. But hey, beggers can't be choosers ... we'll take the Club Level Theme Park View, especially since when I checked today, the only option is non Club Level Theme Park View.

Wow, I wonder if its going to be busy that week, or maybe they didn't release as many rooms?

... I'm thinking that maybe those categories aren't selling as they'd like so they're offering those as AP rates (TPV and CL TPV are the most expensive of the regular and CL categories afterall) - especially with free dining also being offered

That sounds logical, with the way Disney seems to be going.

... and so it begins ...

It will be an interesting few weeks in our neck of the woods ... as of 6:00 am tomorrow they are closing our street to all traffic until the end of the month while they dig up our street and resurface it ... not sure why it's going to take them a whole month, but we have to find alternate parking on nearby streets for the next three weeks. ... and yes, we've already moved our car as Lee doesn't leave for court until around 8:30 or 9:00 am

Hello everyone !! Well the last few weeks were VERY BUSY !! Went to Cedar Point !! But had a horriable hotel experience ... We have been to CP three times all three on their site .. well three strikes and your out !! This was the worst we had HUGE ANTS with Wings in the bed the second night we were there !!! We checked out that morning and went to Great Wolf Lodge for the rest of the time we were at CP !! ... Then we drove down to Kings Island which is a really nice park ! I was very happy we stopped there !! the week after vacation we did lots of day trips to the Jersery Shore and to the pool !!


DD 19 started working at Dicks Sporting goods and has been busy every day !! the store is great though !!

DD16 is getting ready for her Magical Trip to WDW !! 24 DAYS !!! We are super excited !! I am all kinds of nervous though .. Staying at the Beach Club for the first time , using "free" dining for the first time and using magical express for the first time !! I am so not looking forward to having no control !! I have ISSUES with Control !!

DS is not ready for school to start less then a month and the kid has no school supplies .. I need to get on that first I need to find the list ...

Everything is good well except the WDW trip I do have a long story about that ... My DD has a very dear friend who is going with us .. Her Brother is in the Little League that is now repersenting all of NYS in the round before the Little League World Series ... so if they win the next few games the kids are going to the LLWS ,, Here is the issue the kid has to go to PA and the last day of the series is the 28th of Aug ... WHICH is our date to leave so the mother tells me the kid is fighting her about going on our 11 Am flight because she wants to see her brother play but I will loose all that money and that is OK . So I am waiting to see if the mother agrees with me and tells the kid to get on the dam plane if not I am giving the mother a bill for the whole trip she can keep the kid home !! I am not going to ruin my DD's vacation because of this kid !! ... I know it is bad but I also dont want these kids to win their heads are now the size of small countries !! they are now thinking they are all the next Derek Jeter !! UGH it annoys me !! OK RANT OVER !!!


Hope all is well with everyone I have not gotten back to read anyones post except the last few which is shocking to see all the rooms sold out already ... I do know that free dining is extended so maybe everyone is looking to go now ?? I am just wondering how crowded the last week in Aug is going to be ???...

Going to poke around see everyone later !!

... and so it begins ...

It will be an interesting few weeks in our neck of the woods ... as of 6:00 am tomorrow they are closing our street to all traffic until the end of the month while they dig up our street and resurface it ... not sure why it's going to take them a whole month, but we have to find alternate parking on nearby streets for the next three weeks. ... and yes, we've already moved our car as Lee doesn't leave for court until around 8:30 or 9:00 am

UGH that is a mess !!

I have a feeling it's going to get much worse!!!

... and just out of curiosity, I checked both the Contemporary and Grand Floridian, and they have no AP rooms available ... Animal Kingdom Lodge seems to have all categories available

UGHHH!! But look at it this way. It will be like Radiator Springs after Lightning McQueen fixed the road.

coastermom - ants yikes, sorry. we spent most of our time @ BCV @ SABsince it was so darn hot/humid. Floats/noodle rent is wildly pricey - even a by-the-hour option lol next time i'm stuffing a dollar store noodle in my luggage. btw, I'd be really annoyed re DD's friend. I'm sure she'd/her ma would feel differently if they had paid for the trip. not sure why the family couldn't videotape the game & upload to the net for viewing? either way a good life lesson for your daughter re the importance of keeping a commitment unless extenuating circumstances beyond her control...which i wouldn't categorize a baseball game - LL playoffs or not.

a month to resurface a street what a piam that'd never float here.

 

[coastermom]

keisha .. Our ANTS were at Cedar Point have not gotten to WDW yet ... the boys still did not even make the series yet and I know it is bad but I hope they dont .. And I am hopeful that my friend and her daughter will get their act together and see that a trip paid in full is more important then a little league game even if it is the WORLD SERIES !! LOL ... If she really wants to stay I am going to tell her mom to keep her home for the whole trip and just pay me the price for her !! I dont want to even take her if she is not willing to go !! I am not however going to sit here and pay for her !! This could ruin a 20 year friendship !!

I sure do hope that BC is good !! I need the vacation from everything for awhile !!

Well, apparently they have to redo the entire thing - they're saying water was underneath the road and it deteriorated too much to just resurface so they have to basically start from scratch - or something to that effect

During our gypsy period while the first restorers were destroying my house we stayed at A. 4 full size people in pea sized beds in a Postage stamp sized room, including a cello and violin B. A relatively nice cabin C. A gorgeous queen sized suite, then D. We had to move because it was booked into another gorgeous sized suite that had ANTS, then E. another gorgeous sized suite that had ANTS, then F. A cabin that had SPIDERS.... DH actually called the front desk and asked when was the last time anyone had stayed there; he was told 2 nights prior. He wanted to know if they were drunk...

We left and went to my mother's at 10:30 that night in the rain.

Ants we can handle...spiders--forget it.

Two months of agony and the new renovators are still not done. They were supposed to have been done on the 26th right before my B-day, but they are dragging it out...

Three more weeks until school.

 

[RAPstar]

Morning all. Actually made myself get up and cook breakfast. 2 egg sandwiches! Yum!

 

[keishashadow]

so netfilx queue is empty, anybody see insidious or quarantine 2?

yeah i got that, our 1st BCV stay was a def miss, 2nd time = perfection,

mj - hmm, i believe i'd go with spiders vs ants, should do a poll lol

ah, makes sense then, guess it's better to do it right & be done with it then

TGIF
