We were at OKW earlier in the week and now we are BCV. We were told by a wait person at Olivia's that they had 700 reservations for Thanksgiving Day. We ate breakfast there that morning. We were also told that based on reservations that this Thanksgiving Day was the busiest dining day in Disney history.
It sure looks like old times here at Disney World. Looks like the days when you had to book your room a year in advance if you wanted to stay on Disney Property, if you know what I mean. It is tough to deal with crowds, but it sure does feel good to see things getting back to normal.
When we moved over to BCV yesterday, we learned that Yacht, Beach and BCV are all at 100% capacity.
Today it is COLD, COLD, COLD. I brought mostly crop pants with me and had to venture to Downtown Disney to buy something lonnger to wear tonight. World of Disney is handing out samples of their hot chocolate and coffee (with the coffee and hot chocolate display set right there so you can buy some, of course) and at 11:00 this morning people at World of Disney were 6-8 deep at each registers, mostly buying sweatshirts and jackets. Husband walked over to SAB to see lifeguard son this morning, and THERE ARE PEOPLE IN THE POOL AND GOING DOWN THE SLIDE. They are talking about closing the pool as soon as the sun goes down today. My son the lifeguard is wearing a fleece, a windbreaker, long pants, toboggan and gloves. I think the child's blood has thinned out so much that he will just die when he comes back to North Carolina in January.
Our room at OKW (1 bedroom in bldg 13) was wonderful and our room at BCV (studio on fifth floor with what I call a swamp view) were both in good repair and very comfortable. I am quickly becoming a 1-bedroom snob, and I don't want that to happen. I look more frequent trips.
The Front Desk CM's at Beach Club did a wonderful job of quickly processing the massive check-ins and outs yesterday.
Went and bought some Cirque tickets for a Dec 23 6:00 show fir my father-in-law, and there were very few seats left. I was surprised at that.
By the way this new high-speed sure beats the dial-up. It is $9.95 for 24 hours. You actually have a counter on your desktop that tells you when your 24 hours is up. If you don't have the ethernet cable, they will give you one. Connection in the studio is behind the nightstand and you have to pull it out to get to it.
New since the last time I stayed at Beach Club, they now have a quick breakfast place set up in the lobby. It is actually in the bar area that is between bell services and front desk. Fresh fruit, bagels, toast, cereal, juice and complimentary coffee was served yesterday and today.
That's all for now. Will check in a bit later if anyone has questions.
SPECIAL NOTE!!!!

Anyway, even though we had our jackets with us (I was carrying mine), we did share a smile over the lifeguard's attire. 
I thought this was hysterical!!
