I'm here!!! Can't wait to read about your trip!
I should be packing...but DH disappeared, and I have tomorrow off to finish that...
I HATE packing, I always want to GET to Disney and I have grand ideas for WHAT I'm going to pack, but I'd love to hire someone to do the actual job lol. I hope you got it done today!
So looking forward to seeing your pics, since we won't be able to ride GMR again
Don't worry, I have lots
I think it's going to be so weird with it closed, I'm not looking forward to experiencing that in Nov. when we go. You'll have to do a TR and tell us how it is
Joining in! Sounds like yall had a blast! Can't wait to read about splitsville - we have been talking about going for about 3 trips now and never made it either!
Hello and
Thank you for joining! It's funny how plans change once you get there, isn't it? I'm glad we finally got there because we did enjoy ourselves and I believe we'll be going again the next time we take the boys
That pizza is the worst! I'm pretty sure Digiorno pizza would be better. At least the food could only get better from that point!
Chuck E Cheese pizza is better! I rather eat Chuck E Cheese pizza 3x a day for a month than ever have the BW window pizza EVER again
It's too bad that the kids didn't want to go to Picabu's. We went there for the first time ever during our July trip because the food options at the resorts are getting really limited.
The menu looked very good and right before we left I read quite a few favorable reviews. I was pretty surprised that most things around the BW close at 10! I guess in all our stays at the Epcot resorts we've never looked for anything later than that, or else their used to be more available later on. It was very disappointing. You figure if MK is open later than 9, which most nights it is, and HS open until 9:30 which many nights it is, you're going to have guests arriving back up until 11. Many could be hungry and want more than a bag of chips from the marketplace or disgusting pizza................
From your end of YC that would have been a really short walk,
Um yes, I knew that
And I stood there wanting to go in that direction but everyone else wanted to walk in the other direction. Sometimes they need to learn by their mistakes so they realize mom knows best lol.
I'm glad that we've never eaten at the pizza window. In fact, we usually avoid pizza at Disney.
Steve and I do too, with the exception of Via Napoli. Even Ricky rarely eats pizza there and only ate it on this night because as a teenage boy he needs to eat often, and will usually eat whatever he can get! Chris is the only one who will eat pizza by choice down there.
eenage boys are the worst.....honestly! If they had just listened to their mother (mine never do) they would have had something to eat AND you two would have had a little choice.
Every once in awhile I find myself saying to them, "See? I DO know what I'm talking about!"
.
Did you get a margarita??? I swear I would have been so aggravated by that point, I would have just sucked one back...lol!
Oh I was aggravated, but I was also exhausted. I thought about getting a margarita but sadly I did not. Honestly I knew I couldn't enjoy it and drink it leisurely lol, because as soon as they all finished eating (including Steve!) they wanted to run back to the room. And since I was tired I kind of did too, so the drinking was going to have to wait!
Avoid the pizza window... noted!
OH above everything else, avoid that window!!!
I'm glad Picabu will be close for us, just in case... Plus I just realized we'll need to eat somewhere the night we go from Universal to the Dolphin...
I've read tons of great reviews of Picabu so I'd say that's a great option for you guys that night.
Fairly certain that the "woods" used to have a small pond there... think I can see it in this picture!
I see it! And the pond is actually in my picture too, it's beyond the dried out grass and it's brown
I actually loved the view and the tranquility but we joked that we were actually in the Dolphin instead of the YC!
LMAO very true about actually being at the Dolphin! It's not a horrible location, it would just be better if they moved the lobby and made it a bit closer to that particular room
The first time I saw the Yacht Club and the Boardwalk illuminated at night on that trip, I legit wept.
I believe you, it's beautiful. While WL has my heart the thing I love most about staying at the Epcot resorts is walking back from one of the parks after dark and seeing it all lit up. It's truly magical
was the Crew's Cup Lounge not serving any longer at that hour? Boo!
It was open, but after 10 they go to a "late night menu" which is very small. A salad, cheese plate, shrimp cocktail and tomato and mozzarella sandwich. Steve and I would have been fine but not the boys. EVERYTHING goes down at 10
And that pizza might have been good if you'd just downed a couple margaritas first
You would have to down enough margaritas to pass out and have someone shove the pizza down your throat, so that you weren't even aware you were eating it to make it not so bad
The dreaded Boardwalk pizza window, I have heard many negative reviews! At least the atmosphere was nice on the Boardwalk.
True about the atmosphere, and true about the negative reviews!
Did you think the YC was more noisy with the hard floor surface or was it okay. It makes me worry you will hear all footsteps if someone is above you!
This was our first stay at YC but I didn't think it was any noisier than resorts with carpet. We didn't hear anyone above us and when Steve and I were up earlier than the boys, us walking around didn't seem to wake them up
I do prefer carpeted rooms, though.
Checking in!
Hey Kelly! Glad you're here
What did you think of the newly renovated rooms at the YC? I have never stayed there but I always thought the decor of the old rooms was cute.
This was our first stay! We've stayed at BC and BW. I thought they were nice, loved the bathrooms and we always like having the Murphy bed. The one in the YC rooms is different than the ones in other deluxe resorts as it doesn't pull down from under the TV (really wishing I did take pictures!) I just like carpet. It feels homier and with the hardwood flooring you end up stepping on every little thing, like chip crumbs your kids drop lol. I liked the curtains but basically that was all the "decor" in the room. I think with many of the resort room refurbs they're cutting down on the themed decor
Love, love, love the BW at night!! Did you not get a margarita?? What gives?
Ugh, I know!! I needed the night to be over
Everyone was so tired and cranky, including me at that point, we all just wanted to eat and go to sleep! Not our finest moment lol
your family should listen to you more you know best about Disney!
Maybe you should send an anonymous letter to my house and tell them that?
If you walk out of the YC and go right both the Swan and Dolphin are pretty close!
and thanks for joining me again, glad you're here!
Honestly I was so tired, aggravated, hungry etc. I just........didn't. I wouldn't have enjoyed it. Now a few shots of tequila might have made me feel better and forget the night, but a margarita I want to relax with and enjoy. I did enjoy some other adult beverages on the trip though, no worries!
