THE MURPHYS are LIVE from WDW - SPRING BREAK 2012 (PICTURES ADDED!)

[TigrLvsPooh]

After the great movie ride it was our fast pass return time for Star Tours, then lunch at Pizza Planet to discover a new cue line:

It wrapped around these cues and trailed off into the arcade almost back to the very back entrance. I can see it kept the ordering area less congested but I don't think it consolidated any space. If anything it makes the line appear longer.

Kids are in honey I shrunk the kids playground now. It's a beautiful day.

LOVE seeing your pics from inside the attractions! It's like I'm right there with you. Almost.

YC looks awesome as usual. BC has always been our #1 resort. I hope you have a wonderful time!! Keep the pictures coming!

These are just my iPhone pics, still need to upload digital ones.

Yc/bc is awesome as usual, after our last two trips being on the monorail it's good to be back in the Epcot area.

Another great afternoon at SAB!

Took a bunch of pics.... We are down at the arcade with the boys now an planning to head to beaches and cream soon. We ate way too much in the lounge tonight... Lobster salad, crab rangoon, and these little goat cheese pastries. Yum

Are you talking about the lounge at the Beach Club Resort??? Can anyone go in there even if they are staying at the Dolphin??? Glad you are having a great time. We are leaving Saturday for the Dolphin and we can't wait.

We are staying on the club level at the Yacht Club, so there is a lounge up here with food and drinks. Its just for the people who are staying up here, you have to have a key to get to this floor. I think the Dolphin use to have a club level but I'm thinking I read they don't have one anymore. Have a great trip!

Thank you. How are the crowd levels at the parks?????

 

[TigrLvsPooh]

Bad news Just looked EVERYWHERE for the cord for my digital camera and its at home. Which means I can't upload my pics until I get back. BOO HOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not too terrible. Typical spring break crowds. You really have to use fast pass for the popular rides, even Star Tours was using all the outdoor cue lines by 10:00 this morning when we got there. We decided to get a fastpass for it because the return time was 11:30. The worst wait I saw today was 90 minutes for RnR. The weather is so perfect though you really don't feel bothered to wait around outside for things. While the kids were in the HISTK playground we just sat and people watched. It cracks me up to watch families interact.

Tomorrow I'm setting the alarm EARLY so we can get to MK for rope drop. We have a ton of stuff we want to do over there.

Oh, also I wanted to comment that the ladies in the lounge are SPOILING my boys rotten on food and drinks. Every time they walk past the lounge the ladies are like "oh honey take a plate of cookies back to your room" "oh do you boys want us to get out some chips out for you?" or "have you boys tried all these desserts we have tonight" or "you boys better go make yourselves another plate of food" LOL All my hard work of telling them not to take too much has flown right out the window. Tonight as we came back to the room Shakira sent the boys back with 2 plates of cookies and brownies wrapped in saran wrap, extra cokes and 3 bottles of water. I just walked ahead and pretended not to know them for fear of being embarrassed. LOL But I have to say they are doing the same thing to DH and I as well. "You two need to take a bottle of wine back to your room" or "would you like to mix up a special drink tonight" In all the concierge stays I've had over the years I've never felt so cared for. They are just the best!

That's about all for today. Any questions about anything???

Loving your trip report! We stayed YC CL last June and are staying again this June. We loved Shakira as well! She is wonderful. Have a great trip!

Hi Murphys! Hope you all are having a fun time! Interested to hear about the Fast Pass Return and Fantasyland. Going July1-9 this year and Fast Pass will probably, most definitely, be in our future. Going to try the Royal Rooms, DS17 and DH are mixed though. LOVE SAB--please do the rounds for me

Hi Erika! Sounds like a great time is being had by all. I have to agree that Shakira really knows how to give guests that "cared for" feeling. I have stayed at the YC CL and everytime she has tried to "pawn off" a bottle of wine on me to take back to the room!! Not to mention the Swedish fish in cups!! Have fun!!

 

[TigrLvsPooh]

I'm Tweeting crowd updates at MK @Erika_Murphy

Totally unbelievable.

 

[loveysbydesign]

Same old same old, but one of the CM's said they are getting ready to double the size of the lounge ... Starting this fall... So maybe then it will change. Since they'll have more space.

 

[TigrLvsPooh]

We abandoned MK and now we are at the Poly. It was so crowded in the park I can't even tell you. we are doing dinner at ohana, but right now just hanging at the Tambu lounge refreshing ourselves.

After dinner we are heading back into MK for the parade and fireworks. Maybe the crowds will die down a bit???? I'm not holding my breath. Lol
