Love this!!! One of my favorite memories was also with Chef Redgie at BWI. My first night there and he’s cooking up a storm, one meal which contains an Alfredo like cheese sauce. I told him I couldn’t make up my mind because it all looked so good, and he leans in and whispers “do you like bread with cheese sauce?” And I said “who doesn’t like bread with cheese sauce?!” So he told me to go grab a plate with bread and to come back to see him, so I do, and he hands me a big bowl filled with that yummy cheese sauce. Not a tiny bowl, like a cereal size bowl filled to the top. He told me to come back and see him if it wasn’t enough, thankfully it was more than enough because I don’t know if my cholesterol could take moreHey all, I've just been a bit bummed lately because we would normally be getting ready to go on our annual CL anniversary trip and obviously we're not this year. So I thought it might be nice for everyone on this thread to share your best memories of CL. I know there are sooo many people on these boards who say, CL is not "worth it" and from a purely $ standpoint its probably not. However, its the little moments of magic that the CL staff do that makes it all worthwhile to us and I have a feeling I'm not alone. So here are my best memories of CL (and this was REALLY super hard to do) in no particular order.
1) BWI- Chef Redgie is plating my dish and casually asks if my kids like caramel and apples and I replied with a yes. About 10 minutes later a platter arrives at our table with sliced apples and a bowl of caramel that he had just made because he didn't think my kids had enough to choose from that night
2) CSR business class (RIP)- my DS had gotten sick and threw up everywhere. The lounge was right beside our room so I asked them where the laundry was. When I went back to the lounge to get a sprite they were wrapping up cookies and put Mickey stickers on them for when he felt better. Side story, I wake up at the crack of dawn the next morning, hearing a crunching sound, it was my son, 3 at the time, eating the cookies, he was perfectly fine the rest of the trip.
3) WL- Drinking sparkling wine and eating gold dusted cupcakes while watching HEA from my balcony.
4) BWI- I ask if they have any soy milk for my lactose intolerant DS. They say only almond milk which he doesn't really like so I just say he can just drink juice no problem. 5 minutes later Chef Sara appears with 5 vanilla soy milks saying Mickey overheard he needed some.
5) The nespresso machine! So much better than resort coffee, no long line at Starbucks, I can roll out of bed walk down to the lounge (in appropriate attire) and make one. I have fallen in love with this thing so much that I bought one last year. In fact, my nespresso order came yesterday, I was down to my last pod, so I was so happy when it came that I hugged the box. My DH said now look kids how mommy greeted daddy and how mommy greets her coffee, it's obvious which she loves more.
. Of course that trip, my first at BWI, is my favorite trip by far all contributed to the CL staff.
Might want to ask this in the CR/BLT thread if you haven't already, I'm sure someone over there knows.

It’s the memories we make with our friends and families that carry us through tough times like these today.
I third.
Brittany was wonderful during our BWI stay as well!
She also discovered macaroons that trip.
I could be wrong, but I’m currently staying in the bungalows and there is apparently a high profile politician staying in bungalows as well. He had a full security team with him. I saw a few of them by the Hawaii building maybe some of them are staying there too.
