Duck eggs I guess? How did you even find them?

We are booked for Pop Century in the fall because I thought the Skyliner would be cool for the kids (as in neat) and based on this I think I’ll just switch to an all star and save some money. 

They don’t care but maybe she’ll get some money back out of the deal!

I’d document everything and send an email. I’d copy whoever the fort manager is (we had a letter at all star sports saying who it was) and I’d copy the regular Disney email.  It’s BS 

Whatever this means 

“Disney recently announced that the gondolas will not have A/C. Not to worry though- the gondolas WILL feature a passive cooling system so it isn’t as though this announcement means we will be stuck in metal boxes in the sky with no relief from the Florida heat. Though Disney has not confirmed just how the passive cooling system will work, the Orlando Sentinel is reporting that this will consist of cross-flow ventilation for air flow and reflective windows to prevent direct sunlight”

Chip and Co is saying No a/c.

nope nope nope. That seals the deal, never riding them. 

What about the by pass behind Main Street?

I can see pictures in your last post

good thanks, I'm redoing them all now onto imgur

how about now?

No idea but eggs are exciting! Unless they are baby alligators 😂 

 Can you see all the pictures? On my lap top I could but now on my phone I can’t 

These flowers were the first thing I saw in the GF. Needless to say it's a totally different feel from AS Movies! 

The gingerbread house was pretty neat, the line to buy stuff was pretty long, I'm not sure what they were selling in there but a lot of people seemed interested.

After looking around we went out to the marina and wanted to rent the little Searacers. No one was in the booth but someone was cleaning the Grand 1 or whatever its' called so we asked her. She said we had to go to the Poly. We decided to walk over and just take out time enjoying the sunshine. 

On our way over we saw the wedding pavilion and Franck's. I always wanted to see them so we took a few pictures. 

Just wishing over here 

Since the gates were open we decided to walk up towards the chapel. 

Crazy me trying to take a picture through the glass 

and then it happened, an angel covered in pixie dust appeared and offered to open the doors for me. 

She unlocked the doors and we got to go inside! I was almost in tears I was so excited.

Closest we will ever get to having a vow renewal here 

This isn't the best of pictures but hey, better than nothing!

We then went down to the picture spot, it's a shame we both looked like bums 😂

This was such an amazing thing, I always wanted a Disney wedding but knew it probably wasn't realistic, so we never looked into it and my mom and i still regret it. This was amazing and easily one of the best moments in my life.

Great you were able to fit a trip in.

Me too. We really enjoyed being together as a married couple instead of together as parents.

1st tied....  Our daughter hates Frontier too and of course we're a little prejudiced since our son is a Capt w SW..😏

SW will always be my first love. We can't fly Frontier with Adam because of the allergy policy and them serving nuts. Like I said Frontier got the job done, but they won't be my first choice.

Looks like fun so far 🙂

It was, way too short but good times!

This tree was in the lobby, 

This star wreath was cute but it drove me crazy because it wasn't on there straight. The lobby also had some super strong, smell, we couldn't pin point the fragrance they were going for but it was gross. Maybe a cinnamon/Christmas smell? either was it was super strong, and thankfully only in the lobby. 

Our room wasn't ready, so we ate lunch and were hoping it would be by time we were done. I don't have any food pictures, but Brian had a chili cheese dog (it was massive) and I had a ham and cheese sandwich. We ate outside, it was really nice in the sun but a little cold in the shade, but considering we left snow, we were thrilled. I forgot how expensive food was because we normally have the free dining plan so that was a shock. 

Our room wasn't ready and we wanted to get moving so we dropped everything off at bell services. Not traveling with kids was crazy, we had no bags to carry! No strollers, etc. Love my kids to death but it was easier without all the stuff. 

We had planned on taking Lyft Saturday morning for fishing, since I had only used it once and that was for a Minnie Van, I wanted to try it before the next morning. We decided to go to the Grand Floridian to see the gingerbread house. We had a driver arrive in less than 10 mins (one of the drivers told me they sit at either McDonald's or Speedway and wait) as soon as we sat down in the car, we got a text our room was ready. Our lyft from Movies to GF was $11.59 plus tip. We set an account up for Brian and used credit from a fiend and Ebates was offering you a $20 credit if it was your first ride and an $1 credit for each ride after. 

It's been 9 years since Brian and I went and left Adam home, so I decided it was time. He was able to get the weekend off, so we had 9 days to plan something. Our options were very limited due to time, short notice and airfare. Orlando had the cheapest flights, so we booked it and then tried piecing together a trip. We decided on Friday night doing MVMCP, fishing Saturday morning and then ICE at the Gaylord Saturday night and we had a 6:30 am flight home Sunday. We originally couldn't find anything on property that was reasonable ( 3k at the Grand Floridan wasn't in our price point 😂) so Jason found us a deal at B Resort and Ray said he has rented car from there and it looked nice, so we booked it. We also lined up a rental car but myself and Jason kept looking and finally we found a room at All Star Movies, thankfully we found it before I missed the deadline to cancel B Resort. 

So this is the day before we were to leave, the forecast was originally for a coating-1 inch, so we didnt think anything of it. Well, turns out we got 3 inches (north of us got slammed) but thankfully the temperatures were in the 40's over night and it was gone by morning 

Our friend picked us up at 6am Friday morning and dropped us off at the airport. This is the first time we flew Frontier, we are normally Southwest loyal but Frontier had cheap flights. They charge you for everythingggggggggggggg, carry on, snacks, assigned seats, etc. You are allowed a personal item for free but it has to fit under your seat. We both packed bookbags because there was no way I Was paying an extra $70 round trip for a suitcase, we also took our chances on our seats, for the 2 of us it would have been an extra $52 round trip to pick our seats ahead of time. We lucked out and ended up together for both flights but rows 36 out of 40. 

When we arrived at the airport, Frontier had 4 kiosks for self check in, but only 1 was working, and the line for people who had to check in luggage was insane. Needless to say we were thrilled we didn't have to wait in that long, but I was not very impressed with Frontier at this point. 

Here's our plane, it has Crockett the raccoon on it. 

We really weren't impressed, the seats are AWFUL, super uncomfortable, there is no cushion, it's basically like a plastic covering over a hard plastic seat and the tray table isn't your standard size. It's maybe the size of Bible. But, they got us there in one piece, so I can't complain. I don't think I could ever fly them a long distance. 

We saw this plane when we were walking to the monorail. It's a JEtblue plane

Because we planned our trip with little time, we didn't have paperwork for ME nor magic bands. They were able to look us up quickly and we lucked out the bus was there loading, we may have waited 10 mins before it left. All Star Movies was the second stop. Our flight was a little early (we were supposed to arrive at 10:55) so by 11:12 we were on the bus and checking into the hotel at 12.

I know this an old thread but I had to say at how shocked I was at how many boats were going out. We ate lunch at The Boathouse and they were going back out as fast as they came in. For the price I didn’t think they were going to be popular but they sure were this weekend.

We ended up going this afternoon. Boathouse was perfect so thanks for the suggestion!! I had a crab cake and Brian had filet. Ended up costing $86 but we didn’t eat dinner last night so not that bad 😂

we sat where the bar  which was perfect, the lower levels you could see them moving. I don’t think the movement would have been the problem but the actual visual would have bothered me. So thanks for the warning! 

Bonus brian loved seeing all the boats down below. They were prettt neat!

Territory Lounge is open. Construction on the entrance to Artist Point was well underway today. Looks like they are adding some sort of hallway to walk through to enter the dining area. 

Thank you! We may go tonight 

This is dumb.that is all

Just one note - the docks down below actually move a bit. Not a crazy amount, but it you are super sensitive to getting seasick, might not be a good choice.

 

Oh that’s good to know. So is there other levels? 

This is is why I love this board, helpful info like this.

Google says $25,000-$50,000 buy in and $10,000 or more in yearly dues

Great picture Gwen. It’s nice to see pumpkins that haven’t been tore apart by squirrels. 

I’ll be sure to post you all more info when my membership comes and I can go 😂

 My two cents about where to eat at DS.  If you want something a little nicer than a quick service but not as stuffy as a table service go to the dockside bar.

It’s one of our favorite spots to go grab a quick bite and a beverage.  The dockside bar, which located at the boathouse. You don’t need a reservation, or at least we’ve always just walked up and sat down at the bar or one of the little tables next to the bar.  You’re outside, over the water and we always sit so we can watch the amphicars come in and out of the lake. It’s always fun to watch the expression on the people as they splash into the water. Food is really good and we’ve always gotten great, quick service.  No it’s not a QS but it’s not a stuffy TS either

That actually sounds great. I think we will try here first and if no luck move on to the other places suggested.
