Hello all, I'm going to try this whole dining review thing. I was recently at WDW for a work conference that was held at the Coronado. Since work was paying for the flight and the room, I decided to bring my beautiful girlfriend along with me and I rented DVC points and stayed at the Beach Club. We've been dating for almost a year and have 3 kids between us and didn't feel bad at all about leaving them all at home. We live on the Alabama-Georgia border which is only a 6-7 hour drive, but as I said, it's a work trip so we decided to fly out of Atlanta which is only an hour long flight. We were in town from September 17-23, but my conference didn't start till the 20th, so we had a few days of pure park time.
A little about me. I'm David (as you can tell by my handle. I've tried to change it but to no avail.) I'm 37 and, until 2 years ago when I brought my son to WDW for his 5th birthday, hadn't been to WDW since I was 12. On that trip 2 years ago I fell in love with all things Disney and my son and I had the best trip ever. I'm a nurse practitioner in Alabama and usually turn a work conference trip into a vacation once a year. Last year it was San Diego.
My girlfriend is a labor and delivery nurse about 25 miles from where I live. She hadn't been to WDW in about 6-7 years. She said that magic bands were just coming out the last time she went, but they weren't nearly as functional as they are now. She has 2 kids ages 13 and 7. Her son and my son are a year apart and already pretend they are stepbrothers.
An uneventful flight brought us to this picture, which was taken in line waiting for the Magical Express. We arrived around 11am, hopped on the bus, and surprisingly got a notification shortly thereafter that our room was ready. I wasn't expecting that to close to 4pm, but I was pleasantly surprised. We made it to our room and explored a little bit. This was both of our first stays at BCV and we were very impressed. Other than some scratches on the coffee table everything was perfect.
We didn't eat a real breakfast prior to our flight, just some Special K breakfast bars, so both of us were ready for some food. We planned on going to Typhoon Lagoon (my conference ticket comes with a waterpark admission) upon arrival since it was supposed to be the hottest day and we didn't expect to be in our room or to have our luggage, but we decided to eat at the resort before catching the bus to the water park. We went to Hurricane Hanna's by Stormalong Bay to grab a quick bite to eat. We were both starving and we both love a good burger, so we ordered the two burgers on the menu. I had the shipwreck angus bacon cheeseburger and she had Hanna's bacon cheeseburger.
We also had some beers because #vacation. The burgers were good. Nothing earth shattering. To us the best part of the meal were the fries. They were like a mix between Chic-fil-a waffle fries and Arby's curly fries. I forget what sort of draft beer I had, but it was something local, and she had a bud light with a lime in it. After lunch we headed to Typhoon Lagoon for a few hours, then back to the resort where we found our luggage had made it to the room, so we showered and changed into clothes for Epcot that evening.
