TIA!

True Disney offers the public FD later on, but with the BB it's nice to have your guarantee in advance of the public offering. Plus, FD BB historically begins a week early than the public FD offers.

And the BB is so nicely presented in the booklet. You'll see on your next visit.

For us it is crunch time. We book BB since we like to go for more than a week and we need to be back home Labor Day. Seems like the public offer dates have been off by a week or so.

We are still enjoying our stay at pop. Have figured out which the register to use if the giant tour groups are present. Room clean and in a far but quiet location, which was our preference. We got lucky and we got a king bed, which is comfy. The tub does drip a bit, but quietly. I was so busy and tired that I didn't being it to their attention until tonight, but they promise to fix it up tomorrow.

It's nice to go by the pool bar and get a nightcap.

Buses have been prompt and courteous. Never had any tour group on same bus. Even got pixie-dusted with a free pic on Buzz Lightyear in honor of our 17th anniversary. And got my pic taken with The Beast in Be Our Guest. Not the best pic but it was taken with iPhone and free!

Great pix! Last month we had our pix taken with the beast as well.

Congrats on the free pix from Buzz Lightyear ride... and Happy Anniversay!

Hope the tub is fixed by now... and happy you got your King request.

HappyGal, we dined there last month and our group really enjoyed it! We were seated in the West Wing.

Between our group, we had the grilled Grilled Strip Steak, Thyme-scented Pork Rack Chop (my friend she would get it again for the Mac n'cheese alone ), and Sauteed Shrimp and Scallops. Very good!!

Kelly, hope our paths can cross this year , it's all up to my DD and whether she joins the marching band as to when we go. Right now, I have 2 separate ressies, a FD and RO.. covering 20 days!! Oh to be able to really go that long!

In case you are not aware and are interested in FD, it is usally offered over that time frame (last year the promo was offered to the GP on 3/1/12).

It's a small world, right??

And my friend wants to do a 3night on the Dream in May to celebrate our Birthdays! But I don't know if that is going to work or not...
And I'll have to come down in August to help DD pack up to come home from the CP unless she gets an extension if she even applies for one. So I think I'll be in WDW quite a bit this year!!

Sounds like you have lots of great trips planned. We have yet to do a cruise!

Well, we will be there in August as well. I just don't know my dates yet! Maybe our paths will cross then!

I think Sprite is missing from your list Janet. Otherwise, as usual, you have it covered.

Sauteed Shrimp and Scallops in a Puff Pastry!!! Yummy! Janet when we went back for another dinner after you left I ordered the same thing ... Jessica had the Steak and really enjoyed it. Dessert: I had the lemon cupcake which was okay and Jessica had a triple chocolate one which if you are a chocolate lover was to die for!!!

Rootbeer as well. But it was only on one of the machines when we were there in August.

I'm going for 15. We were going to upgrade to POR but we are kind of wing it type people. So we have a hard time with ADR's. I wanted POR for a little bit of extra space. dh says it is 10 feet max and most is take up by the extra sink. But I still wanted POR. Then our air came out today. Yep sticking with pop. There was almost a 1200.00 increase to upgrade plus all those tips. We figure we still can pay for some TS meals but not be tied down every day.
