BCV23: Just wanted to say...I hope you are having a wonderful trip!!!

Me too! So awesome of you to check on those things for all of us

Thanks for checking for me! I asked Garden Grocer to check on it since the spray is the only thing all of us can use -- and they said they can get it for us!!! So, I'll just have it delivered... But thanks so much for checking it out!

mmmears - I'm so glad you have it worked out Are you ordering other things from GG as well? I need to check out their site sometime

If Garden Grocer can't help, I bet www.wegoshop.com can.

We are big water drinkers, so I'm planning to order a few cases of bottled water from them. So, as long as I'm ordering something anyway... ...I might as well have them bring me a few other items as well.

They have a $12 delivery charge (flat fee) so as long as I'm already paying that, I figured I would add about 4 cans of sunscreen (we burn) and some other items we dont want to pack.

Thanks for the advice. I was going to call them if GG couldn't find my sunscreen...

I loved Gardengrocer last year, and am planning to place an order this year as well.

We have used both with DVC..wegoshop will get wine, Captain Morgan Spiced Rum..so Ive heard...lol...Garden Grocer...if you tell them, I believe they will deliver adult beverages as well, although I dont think its included on their online order form.

Wwgoshop, you just make a list like you are going to the store! Except someone else does it for you

Yay! The time will pass quickly -- we originally booked 10 months out and, according to my ticker, we're getting really close.

Hi

I thought I read somewhere that Poly offers jogging strollers, on a first come first serve basis. Is this correct? Has anyone seen these strollers and are they like the disney rental strollers? My daughter is 4 and doesn't ride in a stroller now, but I think all the walking in the park might test our limits..What do most with children that age think? The other consideration is that we're a monorail ride away, so is it really necessary? Thx...

I have to confess that we never used the fridge last year, but I've read here that they don't get/stay very cold. This year I need to keep medication in it, at least from Monday to Friday. If I leave the cabinet door open, do you experienced Poly people think the fridge will stay at least below 68 degrees? Thanks!

 

[Aliceacc]

I kept a half gallon of milk in mine last year and had no problem.

yes LOL we are doing garden view and she quoted me $3,976.91- I was like huh ? LOL the deposit was $568.13 I was not aware that they do that LOL so I had to put it on hold and call DH to let him know - he was okay with it cause it just means we will owe less later...
but it was a bit of a shocker LOL I was expecting $355 plus tax I was a bit off.

Maybe we'll seeya there

don't know the answer to the first question- but I will say in my experience w/ a dd who hates to ride in her stroller LOL that when we went she was almost 3 and the novelty of the disney strollers was enough to get her in them KWIM ? so we opted to rent one at the park vs bring our own- and she never gave us a problem-

Hi

I was hoping you would respond, our daughters are around the same age. She never liked stroller either, but I'm sure she'll love the Disney stroller! Thx!

OMG I was afraid of that!! Looks like I may be waiting to make my ressie!

But you are right, it's less you'll owe later!

Hope to see you at the Poly next year!
