Hi Groupies,

Tomorrow I am heading to Florida, but not WDW....beach time with mys sister! I cannot believe we will be missing
F & G again this year, I really am missing it, but I am still grateful I am able to get away.

WDad- it's going to be so exciting for you to go to the world on a moments notice!

Jimmy- any photos to share?

Well, I'm late but I hope you have a great Birthday Julie!

Actually, Ron, you're right on time! It's a well-known practice within the group that birthday wishes usually start rolling in the day BEFORE the actual birthday itself so that we don't forget. Today, I believe, is Julie's birthday.

I'm late to the party too...any cake leftover??


Happy Birthday Julie!!!

Update to my post earlier today! DH & I are planning another Sarasota trip for a few days in May. I was talking about how we will miss the
F & G fir a second year m, so we decided to drive from my sisters place in Sarasota to WDW. I'm so excited! We're only staying 1 night, but it should tide me over until September!

Got home yesterday(sorry Corinne, no pics, took some on my phone, but need to upload to photo bucket, will try to get some up tonight). We left WDW after a night Braves game Thurs, headed back to friends house in Clermont, stayed there until yesterday. Went to a Tigers Braves game over in Lakeland Fri, played disc golf Sat, had some tasty fish n chips in Mt. Dora, and headed to Epcot Sat night to see NightRanger and eat at Nine Dragons. ND gets a bad rap IMO, we always find it to be very tasty.

Thanks everyone for all the birthday wishes!

We had lunch there in December an really enjoyed it. They still have a separate lunch menu with lower prices and a nice DVC discount. I think it might be the best value you can get for a sit down lunch in a theme park. The food was really tasty! I think the dining room is a bit too full with tables, but service was great and I would definitely go back.

Not late . . . just early for next year.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HORESLOVER!!

Groupies, I have a question for the experienced DVCers among you... Since you were so nice to help me with the BWV, now I have a question with regard to the Poly, but it is more of a general concern that could apply to other situations as well. It is again about room requests. We have a standard view studio booked at the Poly and it seems that the most popular request is Tokelau. Of course I would love a room there as well, but really my main issue is that I don't want a parking lot view, I don't mind if it is Moorea or the "good side" of Pago Pago. I am considering to put a request with Member Services and just ask for "not parking lot view" as this gives them the best chances of giving us a room that meets our request. Has anyone tried this? I am a bit concerned as I am not sure if putting a negative wording in makes sense. I am afraid someone would miss out on the NOT and then we will end up with the exact opposite of what we want. What do you think?

I've heard too many do a "not" and apparently the room assignor misses the negative and they've gotten exactly what they didn't want to ever do that myself. There are a LOT of studios at PVB and I suggest to go ahead and request Tokelau if that's what you really want. You could add Moorea also should you wish. I've had a total of 7 rooms at PVB and the standards have not been an issue to get very close to what I requested. Lake view and HA have been the misses but there are fewer to choose from.
