We haven't done Yacht or Beach, but did do BW one time and had a similar room situation. It's great to be so close to 2 parks (especially when F&W is going on
), but I like you will pick WL any day of the week. Love the compactness of the resort, it never feels crowded, and most importantly you can feel a million miles from anywhere while being right in the middle of everything!
Yup. As much as being at an Epcot resort is super convenient to Epcot, WL is still my fave and you're right about feeling miles away from anything while you're actually right there. Our CL room wasn't actually super close to the elevators but it was about 10 minutes closer than rooms we've had at the Epcot resorts!
I'm sure that was a sight to behold. Everyone must have been wondering where you were going.
As much as I know the parks and knew exactly where we were going and why, seeing the masses move in the opposite direction still had me questioning myself! Like, am I doing something wrong??
I think we are going to be in the same camp, but made a FP this morning nonetheless. It seems like its in the category of the Frozen ride to me. Sure its pretty and the animatronics cool, but at least give me a couple of thrills. Oh well, looking forward to checking out Pandora regardless.
You have to ride NRJ anyway, which is why we rode it again with the boys even after riding during the AP preview. We knew we wouldn't be excited but I wanted them to experience it since it's new. And we don't hate it, it's beautiful inside, just doesn't get us excited in any way.
That's my girl. #SoProud
I strive to make you proud
What a great picture of you all. Even the boys are smiling
Probably because we were going back to the resort which was going to = FOOD
That's just nuts. In that heat I don't know how anyone could willingly join that line. I mean, your whole morning would be gone when that was over.
I could barely stand still for 10 minutes in that heat let alone 3 hours
Even in perfect weather I would never waste that much time in line for an attraction. On the other hand, there are people who truly on their once in a lifetime trips and if they couldn't get a FP, it was the only way to ride it...........................
Well you know how I feel about that lol. Navi is about my speed lol. but I can see how it might not be that exciting to many.
LOL I thought of you while I wrote my description of our feelings and I was hoping you didn't take it the wrong way! It's a gorgeous ride and perfect for chickens like you
Yikes! So, glad we have FP for this on our trip. Wonder how bad the lines will be in September.
I believe the lines will continue to be that crazy for some time. I've been happy to hear November peeps are having a bit more success at 60 days getting FoP FP's since I have tons of Nov. clients who want it, but I still think doing it SB will involve ridiculous waits.
Cute! I love it. Reminds you that sometimes they aren't always "too cool"
Ricky was so easy-going and cooperative with pictures this trip, it was a very pleasant experience and he made me a happy mommy
Mine too! They were both being good sports.
I'm glad Ricky ended up not having a break and just the pulled muscle!! I mean neither is good, but you know what I mean!
I do know what you mean, and after his knee I was very grateful for the severe sprain! Yesterday he and a bunch of friends played basketball for about 5 hours so of course it bothered him again, but today it felt better and since it started pouring 5 minutes after football practice started they spent the next couple hours inside watching videos so he got to rest his bones.
Oh my gosh those Epcot resort hallways strike again.
DA-DA-DUN!!!!!
I love early mornings at AK! Safari and Everest are the highlights for me, so you had a great start to the morning.
It was a great morning not having long lines at these attractions. And a great morning not being on the long lines in Pandora!
Where is this bakery located? I feel like a lot of AK's food places are kind of hidden.
I feel that way too, I read about treats and drinks people have there and I have no idea where the stand they mention is located
This was at Kusifiri Bakery, which is in Africa. It's past the larger gift shop that the Burudika band plays outside of on the left hand side if you're walking back towards the safari, kind of tucked back in the wall. But once it's open there's a small cart with a register and a CM up front more towards the road so you should see that easier
I don't care how good a ride is, I don't think anything is worth waiting that long for.
Nope, it's not, although FoP is absolutely awesome! But not 3.5 hours awesome
I'm really looking forward to our BC stay over Thanksgiving. I'm glad their rooms still have carpeting.
Me too, I'm glad most of the resorts still have carpeting and I hope they don't start getting rid of it everywhere. So far I think YC, CSR, and maybe the refurbed POP rooms are the only ones without carpet?
Our FP day is on the 18th hoping we can get FOP twice during our 10 days. I'm also concerned about fitting on the ride
Tammy, having been on it twice and having seen others ride and being turned away, and having met you
I honestly don't think you have anything at all to worry about!
Can't wait to try a Mo'ara Margarita without the balls don't want anything disturbing the flow of alcohol
LOL I love that reasoning!
What a difference in Ricky since last November.
I know, but little boy is growing up! He's missing his glasses AND braces that he had last Nov. Braces came off in Jan. and he got contacts in May
I know we're slightly spoiled with how great pizza is in our area, but there's really no excuse for BAD pizza. I can make decent pizza at home with a jar of sauce, pre-shredded mozerella, and an english muffin. Therefore, gross pizza is inexcusable anywhere!
I used to love making English Muffin pizzas when I was little and then with my boys! They are 1000x better than the BW pizza which,as
@xlsm so poignantly put it in I think my dining report, the BW pizza "is T-R-A-S-H"
So I'm reading this series now (actually listening on audiotape). I've just started book 3 and I can't decide if I like it or not. I have moments where I'm really intrigued and moments where I'm just annoyed by how little is actually explained. Did you read them?
I read it SO many years ago, but overall I did like it. I've actually read every single thing Stephen King has written
There were some books in the series I didn't care for so much and some I thought were great, and lots of parts I thought moved very slowly. Definitely not my favorite of his works but since I love him to death I read everything he does. I though parts of the series were incredible though. What I can't wait for is "IT" this Friday
Have you read that?
I know you didn't want your bags to arrive so late anyway, but for future reference, if you (or a client) don't receive the yellow tags in time, or if you don't have enough tags, you can bring your baggage claim "receipt" to the ME desk and they will still pick up and deliver your luggage to the resort
Thanks, I've had a couple clients do this since they both forgot to attach their ME tags
I only explained it to them 10x.....................
