Hi
Just returned from an Awesome Vacation. Just have to say that in 13 days I saw sunny skies.....temps in the 80's and 5 minutes of rain
SW flight was great arrived 10 min early....got my own luggage right away and was led right to the ME bus. There was 1 other family onboard and us....Off we went Ride went quick as I was giving them(other family) must needed info....Poor girl didn't have any ADR's planned And when the driver asked them where they are staying...."Yacht and Beach Club"....Which one driver says.....She didn't know.....Anyway...she figured out Yacht club after a phone call.....dropped them off and off we went to BCV.
Arrived 4/12(5 nights) BCV Studio @10am....Room Ready Room 539.
Loved the room top floor corner...felt private only could see the 2BR dedicated that made the corner with me.
Wow here it is 10:30....we are in our room....luggage and UPS box delivered....We sunblocked up and headed to the pool for a few hours. Had lunch at Beaches and Cream about 1pm. No wait....Woohoo!!!
This was fun....2 tables had kitchen sinks. We ate onion rings, salad, hotdog, grilled chicken sandwich and sundaes. Food was good.
Went back to room and changed for a short trip to Epcot.....pick up AP's and TIW card.
Walked straight to Soarin there was a 45min wait....this was about 3pm. Decided to wait. Worth it....funny was my DD wanted to wait and we didn't...what a switch....Glad us babies decided to stick it out. After that walked on Living with the Land where I almost fell into a coma. Something about sitting down after being up at 4:15am for a flight did us in. Thank god the walk back to BCV (via around WS) woke us up again.
Chilled in room for a bit before our ADR at Kouzzina. DD last minute decided to go to Sandcastle club where she took the last spot. Busy....there was a conference. Dinner at Kouzzina was awesome. I had calamari, lasanga and baklava. Mom had Spinich pie and trio sampler. I just have to say again how much I loved the Lasanga. I brought it home and I was eyeing it all week. Never got to it....too many other great ADR's.
Just wanted to mention we did the DXDDP for the 1st 4 nights and no DDP for the last night. Yes I did have room key problems...but it was an error by CM. We ate at a lot of awesome restaurants.....I tried a lot of things that I always wanted to. I didn't finish anything.....there is no way you could. But that is Ok....I went in knowing I would not eat all of the food( I just lost 20pds and I gained only 4pds on this 2week vacation which is gone)....and that was OK. We did TIW card for the last portion(AKV)....and I will do this in the future for the added flexibility. EX...We cancelled Jiko last minute because we were just full at the end of our vacation and didn't want another TS. TIW works great for that....no worries about dining credits.
After dinner we watched Illuminations picked up DD. Got to room and decided to take a walk around crescent lake. I think this nightly tradition helped keep the pds off for me.
Next up...M.K....Liberty tree Tavern and Yachtman and We climbed the treehouse
