Happy Mother's Day to all mommies of kiddos & pets!

It looks very Florida-ish. I don't think that's the look they should be going for. However, they may look better in person. I think the carpet from the Hard Rock would have looked better there and this carpet would have looked better in the Hard Rock. It is kind of funky.

I read Jodie's post, then had to go back & look for the RPR refurb pics. What were they thinking? Someone needs to be fired. I live in Florida, & I can assure you my home does not look like that. I don't know anyone's who does. It's a shame they decided to go in that direction.

happy M.D. to the girl homies that have helped populate the earth.........

Thanks Damo! I don't think Curious George was there when we last went. Fear Factor may be an option (maybe I could drop them there while I walked around to get my bearings since I am NOT a fan of that show ) (can't find the barfing smilies you guys all use!), since we won't plan to do that one as a family! I think Sindbad and Animal Actors everyone wants to see, but maybe some of the ones we don't plan on (like Beetlejuice, the Monster Makeup, etc.). I want to see the Seussland area and hope the lines won't be too bad for something there!

Happy Mother's Day everyone! We went out to a new place for ice cream. The label on all the cups and dishes has the following nutritional information label (in a normal format):

Nutritional Information
Don't even ask. This is the best ice cream made in Wisconsin, and it tastes so good because it has gobs of rich Wisconsin cream, tons of real ingredients for boat-loads of luscious flavors. That means it's not low-fat, low-calorie or low-anything, and that's why everyone loves it. You want nutrition, eat carrots.

Hmm...guess I don't want to know!

Mac - I knew you'd get back to me on those! Well, anyways, just look at those and you'll get my opinion of Fear Factor in general!

Hey everyone! I hope you all had a very happy Mothers day! We left the house fairly early today and just returned home about an hour ago. My oldest daughter & I took my two that are still home, 15 & 8, and her 4 yo daughter to the zoo for the afternoon. Mom's were free today so it was swamped. We then went out for a nice dinner at the Texas Road House before heading home. We had a great day!

Everyone have a great Monday!

No, I actually meant the old motels in Florida that you would get for $49/night and they'd throw in some wicker and some big tropical prints. Ewwwwwwww!

You say that like it's a bad thing! No really, I know you're just kidding. I primarily remember talking about how bad the weather was at any given time! Supposed to be hot today! I do read this thread regularly, but I'm more of a lurker than a poster! Thanks for the welcome and I'll try to hang out here a bit more!

Hey Everybody!

It's been a long time since I posted. We had a great vacation and when we returned we have been nothing but busy. This is the first chance I got to post anything.

We had a great stay at the PBH. The hotel, parks and the weather was just beautiful. The only problem we had, and it seems that we were not alone, it that our room was not ready when promised. We had a Portofino Suite reserved, when I booked it they asked what time we would be arriving so it would be ready for us. We arrived at the PBH at 1:30, checked in and was told it would be 15 min....they took our cell phone # to call us. After 4 trips to the front desk and almost 4 hours later, (still in our travel clothes and falling asleep outside on the cafe table) our room was still not ready. All of a sudden a Portofino suite appeared WHAT??? It was a Bay view on the ground floor, which we DID NOT want. As soon as we unpacked our cell phone rang to tell us our room was ready.....We hated being on the ground floor for the lack of privacy. Why do people look into hotel room windows???? The front desk gave us a bunch of vouchers, but it did not make up for the lost time which we had planned to spend in the parks that day. We lost 1/2 day.....oh well. It appears as though they are having Housekeeping issues in the resorts.

Other than that, we did have a celebrity spotting. We saw Tina Fey at the beach pool with her husband and baby. I thought she looked familiar, actually I thought she was someone I knew. It was a thrill to see her (I would never intrude on someone's privacy)....She was just enjoying the beautiful day at the pool with her family.

One night we ventured off property for dinner. We took a cab to a great restaurant, Seasons 52. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for light but delicious food in a beautiful atmosphere. It's just 5 minutes away just outside the park. Get there early or make reservations, this place gets packed. This was one of the best meals we had.

We rented a car the morning we checked out. The rates at Hertz were outrageous, so we rented from Dollar, which I reserved. The Dollar Rent a car counter is located in the Holiday Inn just outside the park. Dollar sends a van to pick you up and handle your luggage - free of charge. The drive took 4 minutes. I got to the counter and my car was waiting for us. A brand new mustang convertible with 26 miles on it....we packed the car and we were off to Captiva Island 3 hours away. The Mustang costs us $248.00 for the week as compared to Hertz (same car) for over $700.00.

Even though we have been to USO countelss times, we just love it. The parks this trip were as clean and beautiful as ever. We had a wonderful, relaxing trip, the crowds were minimal and we rode our favorites as many times as we wanted....FOTL was not really needed but nice to have.

We did not take any pics of the parks this trip because we have so many and nothing has changed since our last trip, it was nice to go to the parks and not have to carry anything but lipgloss.

I am off to pack again...we are leaving for PA in a few days for ghost hunting in Gettysburg then to flower and garden shopping in Lancaster.

You know, they wanted to know what time we'd be checking in to the HRH too, but told us they would try but couldn't promise our room would be ready. That does not excuse the PBH for 1. Not calling your cell phone in a timely manner. We have had this issue at the RPR ... they've called our cell phone AFTER we were already accessed the room. 2. They are able to put "rushes" on rooms when you check in if they are not ready. Obviously that didn't happen. Are you platinum? They should have gone the extra mile to get your room ready earlier for you! 3. Your room should be ready by 4. Not 4:30. Sorry you went through all that!

How cool that you got to see Tina Fey though!

Yes we are Platinum! We have never ever had this happen to us before, we felt like we were begging for a room. They gave us a bottle of wine and vouchers for deinks and meals, but we really did not care about that, we just wanted a half day in the parks. One girl at the front desk was on the snotty side. We got tired of her snarkiness and spoke to the Manager - that's when a room magically appeared. I could not understand that since we had a Portofino Suite, why they coould not allow us into the parlor side of the room while they did the bedroom.
I was also disappointed at the ground level room too only because the drapes had to be closed at all times and the rooms are very dark with them closed. It was horrible getting dressed in the morning with the drapes closed. We have never stayed in a ground level room before, and our room was right on the path. I cannot believe how may people actually slow down jogging or walking to look into your room

I was surpirsed at how under lit the rooms are.....I guess because of the big windows, but when they need to be closed it's very dark.

 

[AlexandNessa]

We have had issues with snotty front desk staff at the PBH too.

I can imagine it's not very private being on the ground floor. I hate being spied upon like that.

Where I work, they often do tours of our facility from the floor above where we work. People look down on us all the time while we're working. I feel violated working in a fish bowl like that sometimes. At least that's work and not vacation! Sorry they couldn't find you a different or better room!

Oh, the image!!! Fortunately, I don't think I've ever stayed in one of those. My memory fails me often though. Then again, my parents always stayed in Daytona Beach & we had to take a tour bus over. Back then, there was only the Magic Kingdom, so no multi-day visits. Man, we're getting old.
