Trip #8; But Was It Great? A WDW MAYcation with a side of LegoLand & Celebration, FL!

Aww man, feeling crappy on vacation is the pits! It sounds like the Florida sunshine was working it's healing magic on you though.

Were your boys the only two in the quiet pool? If so, that's a nice change from the hustle and bustle of SAB.

I can just see myself falling into this blue bit if heaven right now! ::yes:: It's been over 100 degrees every day for about 2 weeks now. It is miserable here! :faint:

I am so glad you were feeling well enough to make it to MK. I think if you get up and get moving like you did, it does make you feel better. I do the same as you when I am sick at home though... just lay on the couch and sulk in my misery. :rotfl:

Sorry about the bad meal. Sounds like the BC food wasn't too great. :confused3 But there is nothing worse than getting a funky salad. Nothing is quite as funky as a funky salad... except maybe funky fish. :crazy2:
 
Ugh! It's no fun being sick on vacation!
Glad the sun did you some good and you were feeling better.
The quiet pool looked fantastic- it's great being the only ones there.
We never even saw the quiet pool when we were there it was all about SAB.

I couldn't believe I woke up feeling so bad. :sad2: Good thing it was nothing too serious!

The quiet pool was wonderful. Just what we needed. There was no way I could have handled SAB that day. I sure didn't need a migraine on top of how crappy I was already feeling!! :faint:

It was the pits!! But yes, the FL sunshine was doing me some good. :goodvibes

I think there were a few other people at the quiet pool that day that came & went, but a lot of the time they had it to themselves! MUCH better than SAB!!

Oh no, no break from the heat for you guys? :sad2:

You are right -- that pool looks very inviting right now! ::yes::

I'm glad I started to feel a bit better and we decided to go to MK as planned. It ended up being the best night of the trip! :)

The salad was just not good. Lots of hard lettuce pieces and funky! :crazy2: But yes, better than funky fish I suppose. :rotfl:
 
I can't believe I forgot to tell you Shelly, but I got my free dining discount this morning!!! pixiedust:pixiedust:pixiedust: Looks like my trip may be on for good now! :hyper:

You might want to keep an eye out for a room only discount coming out next week too (that's the rumor anyway). I know you already have a discount for Dec., but you never know if something better might be released. And congrats on 5 months!!!!!!!!!

I'm really jealous! Our October dates are blacked out. :scared: When are you going Rinky?

Awesome - Congrats!! :cool1:

Which will you take -- FD or a room discount? I've found FD to be a better deal when staying at a moderate and a room discount to be a better deal when staying at a deluxe. But we have 4 people, your numbers may come differently! You know how crazy that Disney math can get! :crazy2:

Thanks I'll keep an eye out, but generally the biggest discount they offer on the Poly anymore is 20%. :sad2: That's why we knew we HAD to book the BB at 35% off!

Are you still doing the cruise or have you talked them into doing a deluxe? popcorn::


The quiet pool looks nice! I'm glad the sun did you some good Shelly. :thumbsup2

Thanks Kelli! :goodvibes

I'm really jealous! Our October dates are blacked out. :scared: When are you going Rinky?

That stinks! :mad: Wonder why? Is your trip around Columbus Day?

Oh no! I hate that for you. You must be going mid month. Those two weeks are always blacked out. :( Maybe a room only discount will come out next week for you.

Our trip is still not set in stone, but if we do go we will most likely arrive on Oct. 25th. We are still waiting to hear for sure from DH's boss that he can have the 25 and 26th off though. :rolleyes2

Free dining is the best deal for us too at a value or mod. Right now the plan is to stay at POR from Oct. 25-Nov. 1 and then do the 3 night cruise until Nov. 4th. Still no luck talking them out of the cruise. I think it's hopeless. DH is dead set on it. I'd rather have the extra time at Disney since we just did the cruise last year, but it's not the end of the world. I still get 7 nights at WDW.

You probably won't get anything better than the 35%, but who knows. They might go completely crazy and offer 40% off! I'll keep an eye peeled for younext week and if I see anything better than 35%, I'll let you know.
 
Day 5: Wednesday May 2
We stayed for about an hour or so and believe it or not the sun was doing me some good! Funny, had I felt like that at home I would have been on the couch not wanting to do anything all day. But, I was now ready to head to MK! So we went upstairs and got ready to head out.

Its that magic Disney sun!:thumbsup2

I was able to snag FD in the fall...not by the Visa discount that came out today, but I actually got a Pin on Friday night....go figure. I was al lready to snag that Visa offer today, too!

We're in the same boat as you with this weather. It was 106 yesterday and we've cooled off to 89 today. After 5 days in the 100's, I'll gladly take 89. :)
 
I love that back elevator to the quiet pool and laundry area....sometimes at night after Epcot that's the way we come in...glad the son perked you up a bit..and the worst is being sick at DISNEY!!!!!
 
That stinks that you weren't feeling well! Being sick, especially in Disney, is the worst. The quiet pool looks nice and relaxing though!:thumbsup2

So, DH found out that he has a business trip beginning August 2nd...our 2nd day in Disney! So, I just pushed the trip up a week! I had to move all of our ADRs of course, and luckily I was able to get just about all of them! I couldn't believe it. And, we are still at the Poly!:thumbsup2 I told DH we would be going without him if the Poly wasn't available!:lmao: So now I just need to start packing...we are about 2 weeks away!

Yeah, I wish it hadn't taken us a few days to discover that elevator!! But once we did we used it when coming/going to Epcot. ::yes::

That is probably about the worst I have ever felt on vacation. :sad2: Some nice quiet down time at the quiet pool was just what I needed though.

Wow your trip is so soon!! IDK how you always switch your dates and still manage to get all the ADR's you want!! You must be so lucky! :cool1:
 
That stinks! :mad: Wonder why? Is your trip around Columbus Day?

It's actually the week after (Oct 15th) but Disney also blacks that week out. So silly. :sad:


Oh no! I hate that for you. You must be going mid month. Those two weeks are always blacked out. :( Maybe a room only discount will come out next week for you.

Yep, mid-month. :( I hope your trip happens!!! Hopefully the boss cooperates! :rotfl:
 
Playing catch up!

Good to know Min & Bill's Dockside Diner has decent shakes!

Jack has grown! He's adorable! Love the pirate sprinkler BTW!

Glad your little bout of not feeling well didn't last long.

Rinky- Your LM story :crowded: I don't think I would have been able to bite my tongue on that one either. I guess different cultures have different views on what's appropriate for public display. :scared:


Next time we will likely end up at Pizza Planet. We haven't been there in a long time and the kids have been asking to go back.

Say it ain't so!!!! :crazy2:




We stopped for a quick family pic in front of the hat and then we left.

Welcome back Jodi!!! :cool1:


Did you miss anything good??? Well you missed lots I'm sure. Anything good, probably not. :rotfl: Just me getting sick at WDW, but you already knew all about hat nastiness. :crazy2:

Enjoy the catching up!!
 
pixiedust:Happy Belated 5 months!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!pixiedust:


5 months from today we will be, um... wait. What? What will we be doing??:confused3



Thanks, same to you!!! :cool1::banana: Look at our tickers starting with a 4!!!!!

Hmm....what will we be doing 5 months from today??? Not a whole heck of a lot. Just lots of relaxing and enjoying the GF!! ::yes::
 
Okay. I think I might be caught up.

First off I can't believe how beautiful Jack is. :lovestruc I remember when we were looking at pics of his mama online and wondering which pup you should choose and what they all would look like when full grown. And then when you chose him and you were on the way home in the car and sent me a pic of him and the boys.... He has grown into a gorgeous dog. He looks so regal all posed for his pic. You'd never know it was the same dog who hates Busses.:crazy2: :rotfl2: Love him.:lovestruc

Okay next...
You must take your boys to the beach. Your DS10 builds such beautiful sand castles-- he would love it. I'm thinking next year is your year in CA!:thumbsup2

Next...
I hate that you were sick at WDW. I was so sad for you--- but happy that you felt a little better after lying out for a bit soaking up the Vit D. Sick on vacay is the pits. Awful.

Your chicken nachos looked really good. And your bill wasn't atrocious either--- even with your DH's Beer Flight!:crazy2::rotfl: He looked like the cat that just ate the canary. So funny!!!!!

The pic of the walkway was so pretty--- it's frame worthy.

And as far as the VOTLM story--- I went and read it and now I'm grossed out. Thanks a lot Rinky!:happytv:

Now I'll never look at it the same either. :scared:


And oh yeah--- the tickers have 4's in them! Wow! It's moving fast!:cool1:

I know! I remember looking at his mama and wondering if he would look like her. He looks all grown up and mature in that picture in the stones. But he's still a crazy insane puppy when that school bus comes. :crazy2: :faint:


Okay next...

DS10 would love the beach I think!! Too bad neither of them are willing to give up WDW for Myrtle Beach! :rotfl: But yes, perhaps we will have a side trip to the ocean next year when we are in CA. ::yes::

Yeah, the bill is never too bad at BRG. Another plus for the place! :thumbsup2 Oh the beer!! :crazy2:
