The MURPHYS are LIVE from the BEACH CLUB (3/26/11-4/1/11)!!!!!

Ugh, we had a very rainy day today. Literally pouring all day, no let up. Very unlike WDW weather. Usually it rains and then stops, but it has been raining continuously here since we woke up this morning. After RnR and Beauty and the Beast we couldn't take it anymore. Even with ponchos our legs and faces were so wet we needed a break. So we canceled Mama Melrose and left the studios. I don't think we'll return tonight for EMH because its just not worth it to us. So we are regrouping and thinking we might go over to the Swan and eat sushi at Kimonos. Or maybe Beaches n Cream. We are using the lifeskill of FLEXIBILITY!!!

The forecast looks terrible for the rest of the week. I guess its good we had a pool day yesterday, we might not get a chance to go back to SAB again before we leave.

Oh well, we are still on vacation, right???

We had a very special VISITOR in our room today while we were out... here are the pictures:

A magical trail of pixie dust....

I saw the storms for Florida on the Weather Channel radar at 4:00 this morning. I hope tomorrow brings you guys a beautiful day. Is the scalfolding still on the TOT? It was up for our January trip. I loved the pictures of the SAB. Very relaxing.

Yep, there is still scafolding, but only on the bottom half.

Oh what a difference a day makes. But Disney veterens know how to regroup!

Your Storm Along Bay pictures made me so homesick! (for my DVC home) We have a Easter Week at the Poly planned and a summer trip trying out Bay Lake Tower. That all sounds great 'till I see those pictures and start missing the Beach Club!
Mental Note - need MORE DVC points.

Trying hard to blow away the rain clouds for you.

Hope you get some things done before the drenching comes!

Did dinosaur, EE, Nemo, triceratops, playground, now yak and yeti lunch, gotta FP for safari after we eat. Beautiful day so far.

 

[TigrLvsPooh]

Not many things bother me but there is a family sitting next to us at yak and yeti eating bologna sandwiches from home while people with little kids are standing around balancing trays of food trying to find a place to sit. Restaurant seating should be first for paying customers. Picnics should be taken somewhere else. Vent over.

Heading to safari!!!!!!

 

[NYDIS]

Just jumped onboard....loving your trip report so far! We stayed at the BC last Sept., Room 3559 and what an easy walk to Epcot it was. Looking forward to reading more about your magical family vacation!

We are back from AK and not a drop of rain!!!!!!

We covered the whole park and now we're back at the BC resting for tonight. We have changed plans again, since we had to cancel the studios last night we are heading there tonight instead of going back to MK. which means we canceled Narcooseee's. Bummer We tried to get dinner at the studios for tonight but the concierge staff couldn't find anything for us. So we are going to wing it. Not really what I like to do but oh well.

I forgot to report back last night about our delicious trip to Beaches and Cream!!!! After the kids did the arcade we went for ice cream. So our rainy night didn't end too bad after all.

Those of your following my twitter have already seen a ton of pics from today, but I have more to post here as well.

Any questions about anything???
