Aloha Dee!! Be sure to look at Lesportsac purses, they have some cute Hawaiian patterns you can only get there!!popping in to this thread when I can. Sounds like you are having a wonderful visit with the girls teena! Love the tomato story!
We have moved on from Disneyland and we are now in Oahu. I have mini update but not many pictures in my hijinks trip report. Yesterday we visited pearl harbor and this morning at 7 we will hike diamond head.
Have a fantastic day everyone.
Sounds like you're off to a good start! Love HH Lobster roll! The burgers are good too. Also had yummy pulled pork sliders last year at the pool bar!Checked in at 8:30 this morning! Room wasn't ready and still isn't as of 12:45. Cm said they have a bunch of check Ins today. Based on the rack rate rooms I looked at yesterday it looks like club level is quite full this weekend! The lounge was good for breakfast. It has the same things as we had at the csr lounge last week with the added eggs, oatmeal, juices and bottles water requests. I took the boat to dhs to do some shopping this morning and didn't wait more than 5 mins both ways! It was quite relaxing. I'm at the pool now. Just had a lobster roll sandwich delivered and enjoying the sun! The only negative is that they aren't technically letting guests into the fitness center bathroom to change anymore. They let me since I was by myself but they said ppl were abusing it. I said that's not very accommodating for ppl with late flights who want to shower and be out of their room at 11. Cm said it depends on who's at the desk to let them in. If you entered through the gym I'm not sure they'd even notice. I did say there's no other shower options and to that they said shower before you have to be out of your room...I'll update later on the room!
Boo about the showers! Stupid comment from CM about showering before check out sheech. If you're at the pool swimming, and with sunscreen goop all over, that won't help!!!
WowJust checked in and found out I was given the commodore suite!!! Serious pixie dust that makes up for the fact my car broke down on the way here!!!


We have just returned from our 18 night stay at the Yacht Club and have to say we loved it and it's now our favourite resort ( previously stayed POR and the
Poly).
We booked a garden view room but were upgraded to water view, room 3007 at the far end of the resort. Unfortunately we had to move rooms half way through our stay due to a problem with the air conditioning unit. We were moved to 3017. The guy who dealt with us on the phone about the room move could not have been nicer or more accommodating. Both rooms were great, I will post room views after I sort out our photos.
Disney transport was great, maximum time we waited on a bus over the whole trip was 15 minutes. Taxis were readily available. Buses to and from the dreaded DTD were ok although we did avoid late nights there and the fact there is only one stop there at the moment helps, the buses for DTD and the really early bus to MK made stops at the boardwalk and for DTD ( the swan and dolphin). It was fantastic being able to walk to and from Epcot and the studios. We also walked to Fantasia golf.
In terms of food we had ddp so ate in a few local places. The flying fish was our favourite. Cape may dinner was great, our first time eating crabs legs, my 6 year old loved them... Cape may breakfast was also good as was the breakfast buffet at Captains Grill. We ate at the Yachtsman last year and were not wowed so we didn't bother this year.
Quick service, Hurricane Hannah's was fine. Beach club marketplace flatbreads were good. We felt that Captain Cooks had better options last year but it was all still good, filling the mugs was a bit of a trek though. Boardwalk pizza was good, 2 quick service credits for a whole pizza, 2 desserts and 2 drinks and boardwalk bakery was great.
The pool was great, ds loved the sand bottom bit, the little slide ( didn't do the big one) and the volleyball. We also had one night in the quiet pool where it was just us. We had no problems piggies claiming all the loungers!
Overall a truly magical trip after a stressful year ( just finished a post graduate qualification to become a teacher). Totally spoiled now and not sure I would be keen to stay elsewhere, other than maybe the beach club or boardwalk. Think we will have a year off Disney and maybe return 2016 for 3 weeks!
Thanks for all the help and advice on here if totally added to the magic!
Sounds like a great trip! 1 month till we check into GF for 2 weeks
