Well I have decided it is not natural to be up so early!!! Anyways, Padalyn and I off to DL today. I'll have my laptop so I'll check in. Can't wait to see Nemo, and lunch Saturday at Club 33, and meeting up with friends on Sunday. Monday will get here way too soon. Take care everyone and happy grilling.
 
Have Fun and enjoy your trip!

Yes, let us know how Nemo is, I'm not going to wait an hour in line if it isnt good. :confused3

And please take pics of Club 33 as it looks like my reservation hopes are not comming through.....
 
take lots and lots of pics!!! Have a great time!
 
Safe journey! Take MILLIONS of pictures, ok? Have FUN!!!! :goodvibes
 
An update ramble.
Nemo is SOOOOO COOL!!! I ended up doing something to my foot (actually it has been bothering me since Barcelona) and could barley walk. Padalyn threw me in a wheelchair, and now wont let me out of it...she discovered how accomadating DL is to the disabled/injuried. But I dont mind, if it'll save my foot from pain, I can swallow my pride. It's just a tad bitter. Today we are off to lunch at Club 33. WOOHOO.....I'll take plenty of pixs, and do a full report on it. New Orleans square has the best food here in my opinion. We did Cafe Orleans last night, yum yum yum. I must say, as much as I love Wishes, DL fireworks may be better. We did the Walking in Walt's Footsteps tour before my foot gave out. That was neat...We we're lucky enough that the Lilly Belle was on the railroad that day and we got to ride in her. WOW!! The GCH is fantastic. The daily offerings are amazing for concierge (sp) breakfast in the morning, tea sandwichs in the afternoon(inclusing Mickey shaped scones), wine and cheese in the evening, and cordials and desserts at night. All the bottled water and soda you can drown yourself in. Time to get in the shower.
 
Oh, no - sorry about your foot. But it sounds like you're having a great time. I want a full report on Club 33 since I know I'll never get to see it in person!
 
UGH....I'm in the middle of a 14 day work week to pay for my trip!

Please tell me about Nemo and the Lilly Belle! I need some inspiration!

14 days in a row at my age aint pretty!:lmao:


Glad your having a great time!

What the heck are you still doing up? Isn't it past your bedtime? :goodvibes
 
We took the red eye home last night/this morning. I'm exhasted, I have slept about 2 hours in the last 40 hours.

The highlights of the trip:
Padalyn! She without hesitation pushed me around in a wheelchair most of the trip. She even arranged a wheelchair that fit me. (I am not supersized, but not a size 10 either). The right size chair made all the difference.
Nemo, Nemo, Nemo. I don't want to say too much, but it was a lot more then I had expected. DL really did a great job on this.
Riding the Lilly Belle. What a treat.
Walking in Walts Footsteps Tour.
The Grand Californian - and the conceirge ammenities.
Club 33
Cafe Orleans (apps and main courses) Yum Yum Yum. We ate here twice, once for lunch once for dinner. YUM!! We also had a salad at the French Market.

The lowlights.
We had to leave
How people treat those in wheelchairs. What a humbling experience.
The overall rudeness of DL CM's. I couldn't believe the difference between WDW and DL on this one.
Club 33 (yes it made both lists)
Lack of protein options in the conceirge lounge for the breakfast hours. I found peanut butter one day, but a slice of cheese would have been great. (For those that do not know, I am hypoglycemic and have to follow a low carb high protein intake)
Cafe Orleans (desserts) Both the beignets and the chocolate crepe I could have walked away from both.

I'm sure there is more to go on both lists. I have photos to go through.

Welcome back! Can't wait to hear more. Club 33 has me intrigued, also I need protein at breakfast and usually resort to carrying a protein drink wherever I go.
 
I always have slim jims, jerky, peanuts, or a protein bar on me. My displeasure with Club 33 is not with the experience, it was the food.
 
Club 33 both lists? :confused3

Guess I'll have to make a Bee Line to Nemo when the gates open, have you ridden the one at EPCOT? If so how does it compare.

Rude CM's? Guess I'll have to pack some Pixie Dust and a note pad to take notes.

Working my tail off down here in Orlando to make sure I dont have to live off of Churro's while I'm in Walt's park.
 
Welcome back - would love to see pics and hear more about Club 33!!!
