We're Back! Round #3 TR! Fun, Food and New Friends....

I should let Jon finish this TR since his official on here now!

I do hope everyone is enjoying our adventure!!!!

We returned home to get ready for dinner. When we arrived, the hallway where our room was located and lobby was reakin' of paint fumes! Ugh!!!! They had all the doors opened in the lobby area to let fresh air in. They were doing work right up above us on the 3rd floor. I tired not to let it bother me and Jon could tell I was getting upset having to smell the paint fumes. By the time we came back for the evening, it was not as bad. I kept telling myself, I would live through it....

Anyway!!!

We had ADR at at 730p for....

They were busy when we checked in. We checked in at 7:15p, never got seated until 40 minutes later. We watched some of the magic show while waiting....I took a few pics of the outside of the BW.

The entertainment....

Then we went into the bar inside the restuarant and had a few drinks. We were talking to another couple who was waiting as long as we were.....

It was worth the wait. This place rocks! Loved it!!!

Our server was really nice and helpful. She apologized for the wait and promised us that everything was going to be well worth it. She was correct!

Here is the yummy bread and butter. I can not remember what kind it was. It was wheat something...

Sorry the pics are blurry again. I had no idea how to use our camera. You can tell the pics that Jon take, there are perfect!

We had this and I can' remember what it was called. Jon, what was it? It was tomatoe based. Thick and chilled. Tasted like a V8....it was okay.

DSCN3048.jpg


I had the Snapper....yummmmmmeeeeee! So good!

DSCN3049.jpg


Jon had the NY Strip.....It was damn good!

DSCN3050.jpg


And dessert...

DSCN3052.jpg


Key Lime Pie with Pineapple sorbet. Very good. The pineapple didn't bother me this time....

And we got the creme brulee' which was out of this world!!!! Very Veryyy Good!

DSCN3051.jpg


Flying Fish, in my opinion, ranked right up there with YSH! Hard to say who was the best...both are great places to dine!

Our bellies were full and EHM were going in Epcot so we decided to go visit for the evening. It was so nice to just walk over next door....

DSCN3055.jpg


Some of the decoration for Food and Wine...this is right between FW and WS.

It was busy in Future World....very busy. I was beginning to think EMHs was something to avoid. Rob confirmed that with me later on in the week...

There was no wait for....

DSCN3056.jpg


Something nice and relaxing to let our food digest. I was wanting to ride Soarin', but they were not handing out FPs during EHM and there was a 40 minute wait.

Spaceship Earth....I don't know how to describe it....

But I do love the figures....trips me out!

DSCN3058.jpg


The guy behind us was getting all upset with me. He finally told me to stop taking pics. I told him to go suck an egg.

DSCN3060.jpg


The February DIS meet.....haha!

I'm still trying to figure this lady out....

DSCN3064.jpg


I called her Wylonia from Good Times.....She needs to give up the boots and give them back to Wally...

Here are our pics of the future...

DSCN3067.jpg


DSCN3068.jpg


The guy behind us was really aggraviated at us now....I think it was b/c I was laughing so hard and having a good time. Im sorry if I ruined his experience on Spaceship Earth....

Then we went to Nemo and Friends....what a waste of time! We saw no live fish.

DSCN3073-1.jpg


DSCN3072.jpg


This was a total waste of time....now I know why there was no wait. But I did like the seagulls...MINE MINE MINE MINE...cute.

We decided to call it a night....we were full of good food and the place was just packed. We headed back to BWV. Jon wanted to stop by the Front Desk and see if they had any pins to trade.

About an hour or two later...we made new freinds....

DSCN3075-1.jpg


DSCN3076-1.jpg


The staff at BW is amazing! They are so personable and just the nicest folks! They let Jon trade more than twice...he was in heaven. They took really good care of us during the week and it was nice to talk them every night when we were in route to our room. Sweet gals!

Up next Pool Time!

 
Jeff - I'm going to bludgeon you in Feb! :mad:
 

Jeff, LOVE the BW pics...we can't WAIT till our Disneymoon!! But I must have missed something, JON is on here now?? Where? Oye vey I can't believe I missed him! BTW, I gained 3lbs just LOOKING at the food pics mmmmm good!! :scared:

Yes, Wally.....you can whip.....but only if you have the matching boots... ;)
 
We really did not have any plans for the morning. We both just wanted to kind of chill out at our resort and spend some time at the pool.

We got up sort of late. The tap tap tap tap of the hammers upstairs on the 3rd floor could not be taken any much longer so I got out of bed, put my swim trunks on and headed to the pool. I told Jon just to meet me out there when he got ready and I was going to find a nice spot.

DSCN3079.jpg


It was about 11am and there really wasn't hardly anyone out at the main pool. I did find us a nice spot by a tree.

DSCN3088.jpg


That is me writing in my notebook getting my notes in order for this TR!
It was nice sunny day!

Jon finally came and joined me.....

DSCN3080.jpg


My sexy pool boy....go get me drink please!


I had a Poolside Lemonade.....

DSCN3082.jpg


Bacardi Rum, pink lemonade...it was refreshing!

Here are some pics around the main pool area at BW....

It's decorated with lots of elephants....it has a Circus Carnival type theme around the pool. The pool was much bigger that WL, but not as pretty.

DSCN3085.jpg


The Clown was not as bad as I thought it was going to be. I know some folks are freaked out by clowns. I know one of Jon's friends is terrified of clowns and we both kind of chuckled about taking her here one day.


DSCN3091.jpg


I did go down the slide...a plenty of times! There were hardly any kids using it so it was fun. There were a few other adults taking advantage of it as well.

This is me getting ready to slide down...

DSCN3092.jpg


Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

DSCN3093.jpg


That is me! Jon did good getting this pic the 1st time! There's a signal at the top and when it turns green, you go!

Here are some pics of the Swan and Fish....

DSCN3095.jpg


DSCN3100.jpg


After playing in the pool for awhile, we were a little straved so we split a tuna fish sandwhich that came with chips. The pool bar sells ready made sandwiches...they were pretty okay. Nothing to brag about....it was just tuna, lettuce and tomatoe on wheat bread.

DSCN3078.jpg


We just soaked up some rays and enjoyed some FL sunshine. It was great. It rained so much back home and it was all gloomy and gray the past couple of days, so this was much appreciated.

As you can see in the pic, there was more work for the rehab going on. It got kindy of loud later in the afternoon so we decided to head back in and shower.

DSCN3099.jpg


When got back inside, the paint fumes were back. There was so much going on in the wing of where our room was located. I kept trying to ignore it...Jon suggested that we get ready and go over to Beaches and Cream at the BC for some ice cream! Great idea, Hunny!!!!

We walked over to BC and Beaches and Cream was not busy at all. We walked up to the hostess stand and were seated right then and there.

We ordered the same sundaes as last time in July....

Jon got the No Way Jose with chocolate ice cream. It had layers of peanut butter and hot fudge. Lot's of whipped cream and peanut butter chips. Jon loves peanut butter...

DSCN3102.jpg


He had to worship it before diggin' in... ;)

I had the Mud Slide...Vanilla Ice Cream with a brownie center covered in hot fudge. Lots of whipped cream and topped with 2 oreo cookies for Mouse Ears!

YUM YUM!

DSCN3103.jpg


We love this place. The hamburgers and other food items look good too!

The walk back to BW...another view of Swan and Fish...

DSCN3104.jpg


DSCN3106.jpg


After our treats, we went back to the room so we could prepare for our evening at MNSSHP! The fumes were at all time high level in our section of the resort. I was getting really aggraviated at this point. My contacts were not being good to me...so I took them out and to rinse them.

Jon laid down for a minute and I laid down on the sofa bed. We just looked at one another as we heard the construction and smelled the paint fumes. I mentioned to Jon that maybe they think we are at the parks. This was a 3rd trip, we planned on doing parks but also relax and enjoy our resort.

I fell asleep.....don't know how, but I did...

About an hour and half later, I woke up....very cranky. The paint fumes were so bad....I had a horrible headache...I was not a happy camper. Without telling me, Jon went to the front desk to see if there was anything that could be done. One of the girls at the front desk was very understanding and was shocked to hear that we were placed in that area of the hotel. She apologized and with me being in the same kind of business, I hated to complain.

We were offered another room on the 4th floor far away from the area that was being worked on. Yay! But, we had to spend one more night in the current location and all we had to do was pack our bags and check them in with the bell stand in the morning.

I was happy that this problem was taken care of, however, I still had the worst headache ever and my eyes were acting up....I was not feeling all that great.

Hopefully, MNSSHP would help me feel better....

and that's coming up next....

Please tell me you weren't taking pics with a flash on Spaceship Earth. :eek: If you weren't using the flash then the guy behind you was just a jerk. We have DOZENS of Spaceship Earth pics.

OK, a little Spaceship Earth trivia! There is a Renaissance girl playing a violin. She is the same girl in the last scene of Carousel of Progress.

Our server was Debra??? I think? Can't remember, but she reminded me of my Aunt and she was super cool! Very imformative and I have never eaten snapper...she told me I would like it and I did....she was fabulous....

Yes, I used a flash, and that guy had every right to be mad at me, but everyone was doing it!!!! He could of rode it again if he wanted too, it was walk on....

Thanks for the trivia note....Jon, did you read that???

And they were delicious!!! Promise me that you will go in December. I think you 3 outta get the Kitchen Sink! :thumbsup2

Like I said before, I hated to complain. Im not the one to make a huge fuss and I deal with complaints myself at my job. The CM who helped us was very nice and she checked up on us after the move so I didn't feel so bad. The room that we were in was not suppose to be in use.....who knows why we were put there?
