Jimmy...we had a very similar room at BLT a couple of years ago. I liked the view of the Contemporary pools, Bay Lake and WL in the distance. Thanks for posting!
Thank you so much for letting us know. I really appreciate it!!
3.99. Just checked at okw store
We celebrated at Green Valley Grill, JT! I had a duck burger and Chris had Bolognese. We'll do a more traditional meal tomorrow: shepherd's pie. Chris makes a mean one.Heading out to Epcot in a while, going to celebrate St Pattys Day in style with a meal at Rose N Crown. I didn't bring green to wear but did find out its also St Gertrudes Day(thank you AnnieT for that FB info). She is the Patron Saint of Cats and Gardens. Awesome!! Flower and Garden Festivl is going on and if I wear black, those pesky cat hairs that refuse to come of in the wash on my black shirts will come in handy today. Now to convince Tammy not to try to lint roll my shirt
mmm, how about Rough Dog, or maybe Top Dog. Thats it, Top Dog!! As a stock holder I vote Patrick as my choice for the Top Dog(Big Cheese is already taken)of the Disney Co. He has some great ideas on how to get the ship righted that the bean counters have caused to sink. 
), any abstentions. OK, its unanimous, Patrick(formerly known as SleepyDog, AKA SlyDog, AKA a lot of other names that can't be repeated here for fear of being booted off the DIS)shall from this day forward until he gets the boot like Eisner and Iger(Roy E. Disney would be so proud if he were here
)be known as Top Dog until further notice!
In other news, I emailed 4-5 of the top execs for Disney yesterday afternoon about the unfortunate parking fees. Got a live person call back this afternoon. He was most interested in two things that I'd mentioned in my email. First, that as a DVC member I found the issue important enough to complain about despite the fact I don't have to pay to park. More importantly, he kept circling back to another thing I said. . .that I could no longer recommend Disney to others. That seemed to be a big deal to him. He went on to say the usual "this email will definitely be read by Iger, et.al." and "this is the kind of information they want to read and hear." I know things won't change, but I did find it particularly notable that my DVC ownership and non-recommendation comments seemed important. Just fuel for thought.
Have a great weekend, Groupies!
YES! Every one of those things! Hey, and check out my new signature line. . .Go get em SleepyDog!! You need a new name since you are going after the big dogs now. Lets see, Sly Dog and Sleepy Dog don't work in this mix, h
All in favor, say aye, all opposed(hands down people, hands down
Hopefully Luv will read this as we are going to depend A LOT on her to keep him grounded.
1st act I believe should be getting the nature trail back to its original glory, tear down the Catastrophe Canyon pool, reinsert old pool back in, with bubbles of course. Beyond that I have all the confidence in the world(I really hope Chris reads this)in our new Top Dog
Love that view and the old-timey mug (have some of those, too)! What again is that view called? I know you said but I'm too lazy to scroll back that far.
I don't think the new fees have a thing to do with parking limitations at BLT/CR (or anywhere else) since they are still allowing day parking for visits such as dining. The fees being charged are for overnight parking. If they truly wanted to reduce the extraneous parking at various resorts with issues such as BLT, CR, and BCV, there are ways to address that without charging people to park overnight each night of their stay. Heck, charge a one-time fee of $25 for an entire stay, and they could pay for the extra security needed to enforce a 2 or 3-hour parking limit if there to dine. By charging the fee, they may reduce by small percentage the number of vehicles being driven to Disney (mostly rental cars), but the primary purpose is easy money, I'm convinced.
