Your group of fourteen must have taken up a third of the Crew's Cup Lounge. It isn't a very big place.
My husband agrees with Teena about the burgers there. They are really good and the price is right, too.

I've had the clam chowder a couple of times and really like it. We haven't tried the truffle fries yet, even though Ninja Mom was trying to persuade us to order them.
What a busy day you had.

But I can't think of a better way to take advantage of your short Disney trip.
Yes, we took up quite a bit of the lounge. I think a third is just about right.
Wish I had tried the burger. It would have been perfect if someone split one with me because I was not as hungry as I usually am.
Yup, it was a really busy, unbelievably fun, long and totally satisfying day!


Haha, some people left but there were still 14!! Now THAT is a DISmeet.
Oh my I am so glad there hasn't been any major backups on the 192 when I stayed offsite. I imagine it would be a nightmare.
WOW, for a short trip, you really are cramming a ton into it. Well done Dee!!
We were quite a group!
It was an awful ride home for Teena and she was giving me the blow by blow as it was happening (or not happening). I felt so bad for her!
I was very happy with what I did that day. It was my only full Disney day on that trip, and it certainly was FULL!
Dee - was truly a fun night. And ugh, felt so bad for Teena on her way home.
Do you think they will use that piece of decor with the new renovation? It is color coordinated!
Better late than never with the pictures.

That was such a fun evening going through old posts and PM's. Time really does fly!

It was a great night. I loved being together with the group, and I loved reminiscing with you!
I think that piece of décor is set out occasionally. It is not there all the time, but seems to be there more and more often lately.
You've done another great job of capturing our meet. It is surprising how few photos were taken, but that is mainly due to the fact that we were all talking non-stop. The Crew's Cup post meet was a highlight of our trip!
And yes, we did were amused by the tiny condiments. What's not to love about an itty bitty bottle of ketchup.
And my final observation... The legs on that bit of decor are a knock out and would be a great landmark to replace the Fish Lamp!
Thank you!
Not many photos, but lots of great memories.
Can't remember- did one of those little bottles of ketchup go home with you?
Let's stuff that suggestion box and get that piece of décor to be a permanent fixture.
INDEED! Who is that sexy vixen and is that a spray on tan or was an industiral sized bucket-o-bronzer used??

You tell us!
Brilliant update
Awesome meets- love that after some left there were still 14 of you heading to Crews Cup (love their buffalo nuggets btw). What can I say about the new decor except wow! Obviously that stunning piece of furniture should be included with life-size replicas on each floor (and if they want to stick a little bit of animatronic engineering in there so it can scare the bejeepers out of unsuspecting guests well so much the better)

Poor Teena had a long day but it says a lot that the first thing she did when she awoke was txt you saying how wonderful the night had been

I,like you, have a very loving family who don't quite "get it" so I can totally see the attraction in going solo for this trip and loving every minute without having to accommodate family

So glad everything worked out brilliantly and have to say I'm not at al surprised that you found Rebecca's message in your superbly organised, never a message deleted, inbox

We were not ready to call it quits when the meet was over.
OK, adding motion to the décor- the image you described cannot be unseen!
Every once and a while I will go back and look at some of my old messages. It is funny to see the initial interactions with some folks who have become dear friends!
Hmm too bad the Captain's Grille couldn't easily accomodate all 14 of you, but sounds like Crew's Cup was a pretty good alternative!
Except for...
Yikes! Not good. I'd like to say that they probably aren't used to a big crowd but seriously, it's Disney. There's crowds.
Poor Teena, nothing worse than being stuck in traffic after a long day. (Or so I assume. You should see how tiny my home town is. A traffic jam here is 5 minutes.

)
I've never been to the BC so having no nostalgic ties to the old carpet I was able to come to an un-biased conclusion

-- I LOVE the new carpet! So pretty!
What a wonderful evening together!
There certainly would have been more room at Captain's Grille, and a bigger menu. Quicker service, most likely. I think there was only one poor waitress working at the Crews Cup lounge and I am sure we were straining their resources.
The new carpet samples seem very sophisticated to me. The former carpeting was more cutesy.
