Thanks, natebenma, for the response. 9am sounds liveable with (if I haven't dragged my sorry behind out of bed by then I"d be in danger of staying there all day: )

The only take-outs allowable at Beaches and Cream are ice cream, drinks, etc., as it is consdered to be a table service restaurant. They will not let you order entrees or sides for take-out.
Anyways, DP and I had a long talk about the Polynesian and the work going on there, and as much as we were looking forward to our first stay there, I am a view guy, and with the expected work there, and the fact that everyone and their brother will be asking to not be anywhere near the work, and because our planned trip is going to be "magical," we figured we'd end up with a bull's-eye Front row view of the construction. So we made the decision to jump ship. Don't worry, we are keeping and looking forward to our BC reservation, but we have filed a request to jump ship from the Poly. Once it is confirmed I'll change my ticker and let y'all know where our new first destination will be in August!
Happy Valentines Day!
And to my fellow New England/Boston friends....here we go again! (Speaking of Bull's-eyes)
I am sorry to tell you that Ninja Mom has been a VERY BAD GIRL.
A
VERY.
BAD.
GIRL.
I needed to be magical when I booked my December vacation to WDW. Unfortunately they did not have the Beach or Yacht Club available during the time in which I was traveling.
They only had the...
The...
The...
I can hardly bring myself to say it...
Boardwalk Inn.
I really tried, honest I did, but it was not to be.
So I booked it, clown slide and all. My family physician has been alerted to the fact that I will be suffering from Pre-traumatic stress syndrome and she has prescribed aversion therapy and a 30 day supply of circus peanuts. I'm not optimistic but Dear husband says that at least we will be in the 'hood and we can gaze longingly across the pond at the shimmering lights of the Beach/Yacht Club.
I'm not proud of this reservation. Look for me to be doing the walk of shame to the lobby for check in in the beginning of December.

I am sure this has been answered, but I cannot find it. What kind of snacks do they have in the club lounge during the day--the 11:30 to 4:00 timeframe? Thanks!
If you drive to FW you will have to park in the parking lot by the gate and take the internal bus up to the Settlement area where the restaurant is located. If you take the bus then it will take you directly to the Settlement area. I'm not sure which is better.Also we are going to HDDR. Can we drive there or do we need to bus from MK.
I really hope that you can get one of those Mickey lamps before they throw them all out. Those are classic.Why yes! Yes I DO have one of the day beds, the rug from the 5th floor rear hallway 7 square meters of wall paper and and exhaust fan from the roof. I also have enough abandoned room service trays to take every New Englander sledding during this next storm.
My condolences. We were forced to stay at the BWI once when we couldn't get a reservation at the BC or YC. It was not a good substitute.I can hardly bring myself to say it...

That is really terrible. When will you be able to fly out?This whole weather pattern is SAD!!!
We were supposed to be flying to Disney tomorrow and now we're not!! I am REALLY sad.
Yes, they do take credit cards but we prefer to use cash. It just seems a little safer that way and the fares have all been less than $20.If we want to take a cab back and forth between a Disney hotel such as the Beach Club and a Disney theme park, do the cabs take credit cards? My understanding is that one company (Mears?) owns the cabs which are on-site, so I would think there would be a consistent policy. I posted this on the Transportation board but didn't get an answer from someone who knew for sure.

We won't be flying out now. My DH wants to drive tomorrow afternoon after the snow stops. Good grief!!
Hello friends!
Quick question: Anybody can tell me the name of the pink champagne they offer you when you check-in at Yacht Club Level?
Thanks in advance!
That is sad, it is putting people out of work.Have you guys seen this yet?
If you have special requests that you want to discuss when you arrive at the resort, like a full balcony at BC or daybed at either resort, then I don't think that you want to take advantage of this offer.

WDW resort guests can now by-pass front desk check-in if they choose
Walt Disney World is beginning a new program that will allow their resort guests to bypass the front desk check-in process if they choose. To take part in this option, guests must have their MagicBands sent to their home ahead of their vacation. They must complete online check-in, including paying in full for their reservation or authorizing a credit card and setting up a PIN. Lastly, they must provide an email address or phone number at which they can be reached. After these things are completed, they will be contacted with their room number and can go straight to their room upon arrival, after being met by a cast member outside the resort.
The program is rolling out to the various resorts in stages:
*************************************************************
- February 10: Animal Kingdom Lodge, Art of Animation Resort, Contemporary Resort, Polynesian Village Resort, Pop Century Resort, Port Orleans Resort
- February 25: Boardwalk Inn, Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, Wilderness Lodge, Yacht and Beach Club Resorts
- March 10: All-Star Resorts, Caribbean Beach Resort, Coronado Springs Resort, Old Key West Resort and Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa
while I'm not a fan of the BWI main pool (except for the slide when on it instead of looking at it) I love the quiet pool there. The quiet courtyard setting, entirely surrounded by gardens and no public walkways is wonderful. And we always spend time over at BC/YC when staying at BWI - I'm guessing you will too.

I will totally be over at the Beach Club Marketplace for my chocolate croissant and clam chowder fix! I wonder if I can drag Teena over to the Boardwalk and give her a try out as the BWI greeter. Of course the fire drills won't be the same... Speaking of Fire Drills they seemed to have nipped that problem in the bud over at the Beach Club. I wonder if they figured out what was triggering the alarm system with all that renovation construction.
The Mears cabs definitely take credit cards.

Welcome back, Teena!
We will arrive on Thursday...DH, DD#2 and I are doing the Glass Slipper Challenge!
We're staying at POFQ, but I'll try to stop in to say "hello."
