Thanks for posting. Enjoyed the read!
I'm trying to get there Every time I sit down to do an update I end up doing work and I'm so excited to write it all out it's all I want to do lol!I can't stand the anticipation of seeing your room!
I think I gave a brief rundown of this, but over Thanksgiving 2015 we had what I fondly call the Disney trip from he$$. Bad issues with our room at BWV followed by me waking up in the early morning hours of Thanksgiving with a horrific stomach bug. Whole day was shot, Steve did some stuff with the boys early then Chris hung back with me in the room b/c he felt bad, Ricky and Steve went to AK, Chris and I laid in bed. We went to our late dinner ADR at Beaches and Cream but after taking a spoonful of my soup I had to hightail it back to our room..............was good most of Friday until dinner when I lost it again. SUCKED. But at least we had some good days whereas your trip was mostly so I cannot wait to see that you have another one planned!And yes, I hope I'll have a new trip to plan very soon This one would have been SO good too, if not for getting the Disney plague. Blah.
I still think it's creepy that they can tell what you're doing, but I'll take it in this case! I think they do get some type of alert once you've checked in with ME.That would be so cool but also creepy if they knew who I was! Though I guess they would probably see you had boarded DME or if you drove, you would have used your MB and checked in with the security guard!
Hi and we'll be there Thanksgiving week, too! But at Saratoga Springs unless something better opens up with my discount.....we're checking in on the 17th through the 25th. Hope maybe you get some GF too!Can't wait to hear more. We are checking into GF the Tuesday of Thanksgiving week!
No, just hoping maybe you get upgraded somewhere or get some pixie dust in another form The CL upgrade wasn't our only pixie dust, it comes in many forms!Do they have Club Level at Coronado Springs? I just assumed they didn't.
I don't know if they just get alerts when CL guests check in for ME or what, but I'm sure that's what triggers it. Actually pretty much the whole bus got off there, we stopped at the Poly first but only a couple people got off. So anyone could have said they were the DeVizio's if they knew what was in store for them!They must know you were on that particular ME when you scan your band. That's amazing they can greet you by name though, Maybe you were the only couple to get off at the GF?
Other than one upgrade at BW once from standard to garden, this was our only time. And boy was it worth the wait!OOOH so fancy! I have never been upgraded once to any level so this seems like a real treat! Can't wait to hear more!
It was exciting starting to write about itEven though I know what it is, it's still exciting!!
Thanks! I know everyone is waiting for the suite pictures but writing out what led up to it is making me relive the anticipation of having to wait to see where we'd be stayingLoving all the detail! So exciting!!
thanks for joining!Following along and looking forward to all the details!
Hi, so nice to see you again Thanks for following along on another adventure with me, we did get a rather large amount of pixie dust on this tripHey just joining in. You got yourself some major pixie dust here. I can't wait to see the suite.
I hope you had a wonderful trip! I'm sorry we didn't meet up It was SO hot, SO crazy with the way things changed for us and trying to fit in meets, but hopefully we can meet up on a future trip!I'm here for the trip where we were there at the same time but, despite being on the lookout for you everywhere, I never got a sighting. Can't wait to here how your trip went and compare it with mine.
Hi Sue!!! Yes, I'm so very happy we got to say hello again and Steve was also glad to see you and Dana. I wish we had more time, but even our little meet by the IG was nice! My gosh was it hot though lol! I'm hopeful we can meet up again in the futureI’m a little late to the party but wanted to say how glad I am that we were able to meet up with you in Epcot. And I am extra glad that I asked the question, “how do you like the Grand Floridian?” We enjoyed hearing all about it.
Well I kind of alluded to it anyway in my titleWell I guess now we know what the surprise is, LOL
Hi Katie, thanks for coming along again! Glad you're hereI'm here! What an awesome start to your trip!
I'm glad you're enjoying!Thanks for posting. Enjoyed the read!
He loved this, the scallops were tender and the roasted corn, which he normally doesn't eat (he likes green veggies WHAT?? Too healthy for me) complimented them. Now that Steve had something in his stomach he was so ready to move on, but I needed to eat, too man!
I'd heard good things about this last year. I'm not a mac and cheese eater but I do like cheese, and bacon, and onions, so I thought this might be for me. Eh. It wasn't bad but it wasn't good enough that I wanted more than a couple bites. The pepper bacon was kind of overpowering too and while I like spicy and hot, this was more "peppery" than spicy.
Braised Beef "Stroganoff"- served with tiny egg noodles, wild mushrooms, and Boursin, Garlic, and Fine Herbs Cheese Sauce
She's looking at me like "why the #@* are you taking a picture of my kids????" Which I know in this day and age isn't funny......but I sort of think this picture is
ROY DISNEY SUITE
Okay I tried to add a gif here and it didn't work so have to work on that but you can imagine our shock! I'll be honest, I didn't even know the names of the suites here, how many there were, anything about them. And how and WHY were WE getting one??? It was a tad harder for us to keep our cool, we looked at each other and Steve asked the CM to repeat the name of the suite lol. Then he told us it was right down this hallway to our left so we were on the same floor as concierge, one level above the lounge.
Nope, not gonna eat the green stuff either. I always think that stuff is there for decoration anyway(he likes green veggies WHAT?? Too healthy for me)
I have seen this type of thing, but never had the nerve to try it. Maybe I should, just once.After trying this last year I discovered the Lindt dark chocolate chili bar and OMG I just wish I'd discovered it years ago!

Are you doing a trip report?
It was CRAZY hot. Our first night, as we were walking out of Epcot, I got my crazy leg cramps that I first encountered while training for the half marathon. It took over a half hour before I could keep walking. And with the heat, I just couldn't really get into Food and Wine (one of the main reasons for the trip) because it was too hot to eat and the alcohol added to the dehydration which caused the leg cramps. Boo. Alas, no trip report for me. I"m just not entertaining enough for that. But I can't wait to keep reading yours. AN upgrade to a SUITE at club level???? So jealous!!!!
Mmmmm spaetzle! I have the little spaetzle maker (it's like a cheese grater but bigger holes and you put it over a pot of boiling water), and I love to make them!And who can resist spaetzle which is what these egg noodles are?
