There’s nothing wrong with a quickie.So I'm trying to decide if I should interrupt this August TR more and do a quickie Nov. report
Oh, good, I'll feel right at home since that's my default life mode most of the time anyway(we'll all be nice and lost by the time I get back to August)
Oh you poor thing! Must have been a rough night, indeed!OK, I'll suffer through the Poly for a few hours!
Horrendous shot, but speaks volumes for my fuzziness at the time
Yeah this is a horrendous shot. Kari, myself and our DH's spent a nice night eating and drinking around WS before going over to Abracadabar for one final nightcap, but this is the only picture I seem to have.
Welcome to my world. When you've got a family of hams ya gotta just jump in there.
Do not ask what I'm doing in this picture; all I know is Casey told us to pose, and apparently at 46 this is how I pose.
It is, but we really wish they'd figure out how to let us make FP's once we order the ticket!That's really nice that they do that!
Well.......yeah, didn't go that well. But now after 4 days home doing nothing but resting he's MUCH improved Even walked down the stairs today without his crutches! He has to use them until we see the surgeon again on the 27th because his knee could go out on him these first few weeks, but he had all his weight on both legs and just had the crutches in his arms in case he needed them. No pain pills since Friday, just some Aleve, and he's going to school again tomorrow for 5 out of 8 periods.That's very cool...good to hear he's able to do that so quickly.
So do I, and fireworks whether from MK, HS, or EpcotYou had a beautiful view!!! I LOVE being able to see the Castle from my room...
I know I GUESS I get it? Although we haven't had any experiences with it taking forever to get through TSA at MCO. No way will Steve put up with getting picked up 4 hours early lol, so if they're still doing that in March we'll be taking a taxi/Uber to the airport when we leave. And FYI, I called DME today for a client leaving Disney on the 25th, and their pick-up time is 4.5 hours before their plane leavesjust saw on FB now ME will be bringing us to the airport 4 hours before flights now starting today ugh!
DisMeets ruleThat is the best! You had so many fun looking DisMeets!!
Yup, and if you see my comment above, I have clients traveling this week returning home on the 25th with a pick-up time 4.5 hours before their plane leaves...........Steve did make a good decision and now that ME picks you up 4 hours ahead I’m seriously thinking about taking a taxi back to the airport
You're there now, hope you guys are having an amazing time and HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!Flight leaves at 8:25am looking forward to 10 days at the BC
Happy Thanksgiving!
LOL Steve definitely wouldn't argue with you there!There’s nothing wrong with a quickie.
You came back for a moment and did your job wellSee, I don’t have as much time these days for commenting, so it’s important to make them count
My job here is done.
Glad you're hanging around TracyLooking forward to hearing more about your November trip!
lol but we were having fun!Horrendous shot, but speaks volumes for my fuzziness at the time
Oh I understood that right away. I wasn't going to question Casey's command AT ALL!Welcome to my world. When you've got a family of hams ya gotta just jump in there.
So do I, and fireworks whether from MK, HS, or Epcot
My wife and I have been trying to get out to see this, she loved the first movie. We had a sick girl this past weekend so never got out. We’ll probably try this weekend. Sounds like it’s worth watching.Saturday night I went out to eat (drink) with some friends and we saw "Bad Moms Christmas". Not as good as the first Bad Moms but still funny!
I didn’t have that waffle but would like to try it. I did have the ham and swiss and thought that was pretty good although I would have preferred mayo instead of ranch dressing.We rode some rides and I actually tried the fruit and nutella waffle from Sleepy Hollow for the first time (which I forgot to mention in my dining report). It was good!
I don’t recall being in a hotel room with hardwood floors. I guess it’s more sanitary and I understand why they switched, but I’m not sure I’d like it. Of course if I’m in WDW I’d be happy enough no matter what the floors are I guess.We LOVED it, especially with the king bed there was tons of room to move around. If you remember from earlier in this report I didn't like the hardwood flooring in the new YC rooms but it didn't bother me as much here
I saw this once and thought it was cool to see. I had never given much thought to how the globe gets out there.If you're never seen this, they swing gates shut on either side of the pathway so you can't continue walking. Then once the globe is out of the way, they push a little button, lower the bridge, and let you through again
We rode some rides and I actually tried the fruit and nutella waffle from Sleepy Hollow for the first time (which I forgot to mention in my dining report). It was good! Strawberries and bananas were fresh although there were 3x as many strawberries as bananas, and the waffle was super good.
They gave us Nov. and asked if we'd gotten Sept. and Oct. buttons. When we said no they gave us those, too!
We were in Casitas 3 which is where we were on our first stay and we also lucked out and got a refurbished room!
So happy to hear that!I'm just thrilled he's feeling better and walking better
I totally agree! Saw that myself over the weekend.Saturday night I went out to eat (drink) with some friends and we saw "Bad Moms Christmas". Not as good as the first Bad Moms but still funny!
Yum, I tried this for the first time in August and LOVED it!I actually tried the fruit and nutella waffle from Sleepy Hollow
What?! What a cool story! I'd heard about this too but had no idea it took place after the fact. Oh, Disney... Now if they could just do something about DHS...Disney put a ring in the concrete in the queue a year or two ago
Yay! What a great Dismeet-filled trip already!this is also when we saw Su-Lynn and Steve again!
Love it!
Do not ask what I'm doing in this picture; all I know is Casey told us to pose, and apparently at 46 this is how I pose.
Ha, I like how your mind works!...well continuity's sake, but that's getting kind of old in my mind and then by the time I do get to Nov. I'll be forgetting that, too! So after another 2 minutes consideration I've come to a decision-------------
Those bathroom sinks look really nice, and more practical than the typical shallow bathroom sink.Whatever the case we both love the way the new rooms look
Did this happen after most of the crowds had left the World Showcase? It would be annoying to wait if you were anxious to got out of there.As we left WS after dinner to get the bus, we came upon an upward drawbridge just passed the Outpost and right before China. This is lifted up in order for the globe from Illuminations to pass through back to it's home until the next night:
Hi everyone, hope you all had a good weekend! Ours was kind of quiet; Ricky stayed home to rest which has seemed to pay off as he's doing SO much better! He went to school again today for 5 out of 8 periods after trying an unsuccessful half day Wed. and then staying home again the rest of the week. He can now put pretty much full weight on his left leg (the one the surgery was on) and thinks he doesn't need the crutches, but the Dr. wants him to keep using them just for stability until we see him again on the 27th. I'm just thrilled he's feeling better and walking better
Saturday night I went out to eat (drink) with some friends and we saw "Bad Moms Christmas". Not as good as the first Bad Moms but still funny!
Let the holidays begin!
Have any of you heard the story about Constance having thrown her wedding ring out the window of the mansion at one point, and it being embedded in the concrete in the walkway? Well, this was a story that started circulating most likely here on the boards a few years ago that was actually not true at all. But, because it caught on and so many people started looking for the ring in the HM queue and and asking CM's about it, Disney put a ring in the concrete in the queue a year or two ago
Learned all that on the Marceline to the MK tour!
We had some great eats and drinks which you can check out in my dining report if you're interested and this is also when we saw Su-Lynn and Steve again!
We freshened up, jumped on a bus to MK and then hopped a monorail to the GF to meet up with Jenny and her DH Joe, and their cute as a button niece Gia at Mizner's:
As they went to dinner we went back to Epcot to catch the 8:00 Eat to the Beat Concert with Living Colour.
As we left WS after dinner to get the bus, we came upon an upward drawbridge just passed the Outpost and right before China. This is lifted up in order for the globe from Illuminations to pass through back to it's home until the next night:
I hope your daughter is feeling all better by now The movie is definitely worth seeing, it's still hysterical! The first one just had a bit more of an edge and this one was a little more predictable.My wife and I have been trying to get out to see this, she loved the first movie. We had a sick girl this past weekend so never got out. We’ll probably try this weekend. Sounds like it’s worth watching.
That ham and cheese one looked good, too! Now that I've had one I'd go back and try other kinds.I didn’t have that waffle but would like to try it. I did have the ham and swiss and thought that was pretty good although I would have preferred mayo instead of ranch dressing.
I don't think I'd ever stayed in one without carpeting until our 2 nights at Yacht Club in August, and I didn't like it. You could see crumbs/dirt more easily and stuff stuck to your feet and since they don't vacuum daily it was just gross and I felt the room was dirty all the time. However, for whatever reason it didn't bother me at CSR and I can only think of one reason: the kids weren't with us. Boys are disgusting slobs as you know since you were/are one. But more important they're always eating snacks in the room so crumbs are plentiful. We really didn't eat in the room so that took care of that problem! I'd stay at CSR again because we really enjoy the resort and like the new rooms, but I do think if the boys were with us I'd start not liking the flooring.I don’t recall being in a hotel room with hardwood floors. I guess it’s more sanitary and I understand why they switched, but I’m not sure I’d like it. Of course if I’m in WDW I’d be happy enough no matter what the floors are I guess.
Yes! Although not thrilled with the floors for reasons I explained above, it didn't bother me this time and I do like how they look.So nice! I'm glad you liked your refurbed room!
Don't they? At least they had the picture of the 3 Cabelleros so there was a little theming. Even with the old decor it was really only the runner on the bed that you could say was themed.Another fun report...those rooms do look really nice!
so am I! Looking forward to our follow-up with the surgeon Monday so we can hopefully get going with P/T againlad Ricky is doing so much better!
The first time we stayed at CSR back in 2014 we had what was probably our best bus service of all our trips, including of our deluxe stays. This time bus service wasn't bad; our mistake was often going to El Centro to get the bus. Most of the time it's just how it worked out because for whatever reason we went there first. It's the last stop and so the buses were always crowded. We always got on and pretty much always got a seat but still. The couple times we did go to stop #2 which is the Casitas stop the buses were much more empty. We only waited awhile once and that was for a HS bus.Your room looks nice. Interested to see how your bus experience is. I usually avoid CBR and CSR because of the size and multiple bus stops.
lol seriously!What?! What a cool story! I'd heard about this too but had no idea it took place after the fact. Oh, Disney... Now if they could just do something about DHS...
Thank you and same to you!Glad to hear that Ricky is starting to do better. I hope you enjoy the holiday.
Ricky stayed home to rest which has seemed to pay off as he's doing SO much better!
They gave us Nov. and asked if we'd gotten Sept. and Oct. buttons. When we said no they gave us those, too!
Sorry for those, just wanted to show the refurbed room.
The whole room just goes together nicelyDon't be sorry it looks lovely! For some reason I really like the new sinks and the color of the new doors to the bathroom area.
