Ah -- my poor ole eyes -- but admit that I was squinting -- never -- I say never!!!

Many thanks dreamflight 99! These type of posts are what keeps smiles on our faces here at DIS.

First of all...my bad. Sorry! Thanks for the correction Nancy...I do believe my day yesterday had me a tad paranoid...but is it really paranoia when they ARE out to get you?

DF99, only you can make me spit Slimfast at the monitor....so the TA will have a panic room then?

I guess it is true what they say...you have to experience the downs in life to appreciate the ups. Today I feel is going to be an up day.

dcedwards...if you squint just right, stand on one foot, and turn your head 90 degrees to the right...I think you can see a sailboat in DF99's post.

Happy Wednesday.

Hey to keep this about the Dolphin...anyone known anything about Heavenly Bed progress?

 

[happytrails2u]

dreamflight, you guys are as silly as we are. We also had a bit of a walk to the east wing at the Dolphin and sure enough, we played the game too - - only with a bit of a variation. You see, if you stepped on anyone's towel (on the hallway) you got penalized..you had to stay on the sand - Lol. Miss was an expert by the end of the week and claimed victory due to her extensive hopscotching skills of yesteryear! You're right though, before we knew it, we were at the room AND we only got caught playing our little game once or twice by the maids and they got quite a chuckle out of it!

 

[happytrails2u]

Yes, Jen...Snoopy confirms that it is indeed a Heavenly Bed!

 

[Jen80370]

YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Thanks HappyTrails....I'll have to try the game in June!

Jen~YES TA will have a Panic room! And BTW, it's a SHIP with a huge MAST...not a sailboat! You were close, but close only counts in Horseshoes, Hand Granades and H Bombs! P.S. If only you could download my post and play it backwards...think of the message you may hear! LOL...Three Cheers for the DOLPHIN Heavenly Beds!

Happytrails...silliness abounds between youthful minds! I still try never to step on the sidewalk cracks, and always walk across the speedbumps to prevent a fall in the mythical lava! Hey, it keeps life fun and interesting. Yep...never a dull moment around here, and especially never at WDW Dolphin! (even w/imminent dangerous threat of the Maids spotting us=our secret towel-crossing cover is blown) P.S. Added sentimental gift idea for Miss: a sliver of chalk for emergency situations (airport layovers, long lines at Splash Mountain, etc.) where she may feel the urge to draw the boxes, fill in the numbers and pick up a quick game of hopscotch!

Lol, the chalk is a keeper dreamflight - - great idea. However, I must have fallen into a trance by trying to decode your secret message, because I think Im starting to...uh oh...oh NOOOOOO

Never a dull moment at DIS...can you imagine how confused an alien would be if they were "listening in?" You guys always bring a smile my way!!!!

Happytrails2u I think the spell is only broken by kiss from the handsome prince or beautiful princess...what do we do now?

 

[Jen80370]

Pucker up happytrails....

As for the stuffed reptiles...LOL...great obscure reference!

LOL DF99...great idea with the chalk. My problem is that I have a wisenheimer teenage boy! He's find sleeping wayward travelers and draw chalk outlines around them. He'd really give those aliens something to look at!

We will be staying at the Dolphin on 10/25 & 10/26 and then on to the BCV until 11/1. We couldn't get the BCV for the first 2 nights so I went hunting for a hotel. For the same price, I could get the Dolphin or any of the moderate priced hotels. I have stayed at the CB and liked it, but thought the Dolphin would/should be nicer. We are DVC owners at the BW and see the S/D out our window, but have never been there. We are still close enough to the Boardwalk and can still walk to Epcot & MGM. Am I crazy to think for the same price, the Dolphin would be better than a moderate price WDW hotel?

When my daughter was little, she always wanted to have her picture taken sitting on the towels or under the umbrellas in the hallway.

No, you're not crazy! The Dolphin has it all over the WDW moderates! Indoor corridors, wonderful views, more restaurant choices, a festive lobby....you'll see for yourself!

 

[happytrails2u]

Hi dcedwards, well...our beloved, four-legged princess, aka Molly Mcgiggles woke us with a sneak attack of face licks this morning (aghhhh) GET UP YOU TWO!!! Lol. So that must have broken the spell, as I seem to be back and writing much better today...

I hope that obscure reference (lol) doesn't get me a free ticket on that "funny farm" bus Jen! Hmmm, I wonder if it's a Starwood Farm???

 

[Jen80370]

I don't know if it is a Starwood Farm, but I hear they have Heavenly Beds, so it must be...maybe they should come take me away!

 

[dreamflight99]

Jen, Dreamflight, Blondie, Happytrails, Dcedwards, Bimmy, JKFreeman, and to everyone ELSE!!!
Have to tell a short true story!!

We were at a fancy Party and they were playing some finish the line type of games. I'm NOT a game player, However I got the best question::

" There's No Place Like-------------- of course I was wrong..I couldn't help myself..Husband was totally embarassed like normal..Plus I don't think anyone knew what I was talking about. They most likely thought I am crazy! Oh well...

My answer was..

"There's No Place Like "THE SWAN and DOLPHIN"!!!!

I know the answer was HOME!! It was too easy anyways..

Chatty

 

[Jen80370]

Great story...and I agree!

Often you can get the dolphin for close to the same price as the moderate. There is nothing wrong with the hotel. As you know, the location can't be beat. We just didn't have a wonderful experience there but others have really enjoyed it.

And, it depends on what you are looking for...the inside corridors are not that important to us and sit down restaurants aren't what we do when at Disney World -- or at least not at the hotel -- so the moderates truly do meet our needs. And, our son loves the theme at the PO-FQ with the alligators, etc. and pool slide.

I'm sure your experience at the Dolphin will be great. The one thing I didn't like was that we were a LONG ways from the elevator and I often wished we had been closer (but, of course, not right next to it...just a bit closer). You might want to request that when you check in depending on what room you are assigned.

Have fun! Disney is always a magical experience.

Happytrails2u -- I'm so glad you are back with us again. That kiss must have done it. Aren't hose four legged princesses wonderrful!

We had a great experience at the Dolphin when we stayed there earlier this month. IMHO (remember this is just my opinion) I don't think there is any comparison to a WDW moderate. Location, amenities, etc.

CM's were great when we were there. I have stayed at a moderate in the past and felt very spoiled because we had so many stays at the deluxes, so I think you're absolutely UNCRAZY for staying there your first two nights rather than staying at a moderate.

And for the record, I think a lot times when people have different experiences it is dependent upon WHEN you stay there. When we were just there it was very quiet, no major conventions but the Swan was sold out and it seemed very busy when we went in there.

The BC was even more crazy with a big computer convention. We walked by one night and there was a massive party on the beach for this convention. My dd was a little upset because she couldn't go to it when it was right there out in the open and Minnie and Goofy were dancing with everyone.

So, experiences are all relative. We just try to not have very high expectations so we don't end up being disappointed
