21:11:40 [WillCAD] Tonight's topic will be Resort Hopping: What's fun to do when you visit a resort?
21:11:40 [Moley] Hey Barb!!
21:11:44 [PaulF] We watched the Disney vacation DVD last night with the "guy in the red shirt" talking about Fast Pass. I don't know why everyone hates that guy so much! LOL
21:11:52 [Rosebud] Quick questions - talking to my DD - how do you sign up on this website - she wants to post some pictures.
21:11:58 [BarbD] Ohh a scoop, who goes tonight Esmiralda?
21:12:01 [nancyL] Oh- I have alot of opinions on that one!
21:12:05 [Sully] I need info on Beach Club..staying there for first time in June
21:12:13 [Rosebud] I forgot - you go to getting started right?
21:12:20 [BarbD] Sully I been to BachCLub twice, I love it
21:12:23 [AliciaG] Oh, that'd be great! Hi Valerie!
21:12:27 [MissB] BC--I've stayed there several times
21:12:45 [PaulF] thanks Cheri, Florida Project Radio now huh?
21:12:47 [BarbD] OK
21:12:50 [Moley] Just register, Rosebud. You can do that from one computer, with two people, two passwords and two names.
21:12:57 [Esmerelda] BarbD, do you really want to know or do you want to wait and see yourself?
21:13:03 [LimeGreenC] yep Paul, that would be it!
21:13:03 [WillCAD] The Red Shirt Guy is kinda like Bob Saget. You either love him or hate him... or you don't care one way or the other VEHEMENTLY.
21:13:07 [BarbD] I love the BEach CLub pool and location a lot
21:13:09 [Moley] Lookin' Good, MJ!
21:13:18 [BarbD] Esmiralda I got it in a PM
21:13:20 [PaulF] LOL We found him amusing.
21:13:21 [MissB] me, too, Barb and Beaches and Cream
21:13:28 [Rosebud] Different computers? I'll tell her to go to getting started and register as Valerie.
21:13:29 [MJ_CoHost] Thanks Moley
21:13:35 [Esmerelda] ok, BarbD :-)
21:13:40 [BarbD] WOuld you beleve we got a free upgrade to Consierge at Beach CLub last year
21:13:41 [Rosebud] She is at Disney - I'm in CT.
21:13:55 [WillCAD] Well, we've got Lucky 13 people in the room, so I think we're about ready to start the topic chat. Everybody ready?
21:13:58 [Sully] We were supposed to be at POFQ for 4 nights then AKL for five...the closing allowed us to go to BC we would not have been able to go there we lucked out
21:13:59 [AliciaG] Can't wait to stay at BCV!
21:13:59 [Esmerelda] OK-is anyone going to give us a warning when it's time to attempt to stay on topic?
21:13:59 [MissB] we, got one, too Barb--when were you there?
21:14:00 [BarbD] I never been to Beaches and Cream because theline is always too long when I go by there
21:14:02 [Moley] Sounds fine, Rosebud.
21:14:07 [LimeGreenC] I'm ready
21:14:14 [MissB] Sully, you're sooooo lucky
21:14:18 [BarbD] Lets go WillCad
21:14:24 [Moley] Sully, you got a rate made in heaven, kid.
21:14:26 [MissB] I'm ready, too Will!

21:14:31 [Rosebud] I'm ready too. Just hung up the phone
21:14:38 [Moley] Ready!
21:14:38 [PaulF] Why else would one resort hop but to go check out the restaraunts! Whispering Canyon, Citrico's, Jiko, mmmmmm.....
21:14:43 [MissB] As long as we can resort hop to the BC ;-)
21:14:43 [nancyL] Im ready
21:14:45 [MJ_CoHost] Yes Will & I will try to gently bring you back on topic
21:14:49 [Sully] $124 a night cant beat it
21:14:49 [Moley] mmmmmm
21:14:56 [Rosebud] I love to resort hop!
21:14:57 [nancyL] where are we going to start?
21:15:02 [Moley] LOL, MJ
21:15:11 [AliciaG] great deal, Sully!
21:15:12 [WillCAD] Restaurants are a sepparate topic Paul. There are too many, so we're going to do a whole chat on them later.
21:15:13 [MissB] <--should be bright green about that rate!
21:15:15 [BarbD] Is this the resort hopping chat?
21:15:16 [nancyL] Hey- lets start at the BC! lol
21:15:22 [MJ_CoHost] Will you are on!!
21:15:23 [PaulF] Barb, we got to B&C just as they opened once. It was great.
21:15:28 [Moley] Put your little yellow flag up and lead us to the first resort, Will!
21:15:40 [WillCAD] Let's start where it all began in 1972, at the Magic Kingdom Resort Area
21:15:51 [Moley] Very good start.
21:15:53 [Rosebud] Go Will.
21:15:54 [MissB] 2 resorts
21:15:57 [WillCAD] Oops, typo, I mean 1971.
21:16:07 [BarbD] Contemporary right Will Cad?
21:16:31 [Rosebud] I thought Disney Golf resort was there too then?
21:16:32 [PaulF] The (Once Was) Contemporary? 
21:16:34 [nancyL] You go to the contemporary to see the monorail going through the lobby and the shops.
21:16:37 [Sully] Contemporary needs help it looks like the same furniture from 1971
21:16:37 [WillCAD] First we get on the Resorts monorail and go around to Contemporary. What's cool to do in Contemp?
21:16:40 [MissB] and Poly and maybe the one that became Shades of Green
21:16:58 [Moley] Best Arcade of all the resorts!
21:17:02 [MissB] gawk at the murals
21:17:03 [Sully] Disney Inn right
21:17:03 [DisneyPam] look for the 5 legged goat in the mural. 
21:17:09 [nancyL] The contemporary has some nice shops.
21:17:11 [PaulF] Just wandering the lobby/mall at the Contemporary is very cool. Best hotel shops on site.
21:17:14 [MJ_CoHost] Yes you are right they have a great Arcade. Good place for mini meets
21:17:22 [WillCAD] My feeling exactly Nancy. I love looking around the Grand Canyon Concorse, especially when the monorail comes through.
21:17:25 [Moley] You can get your hair done at the Contemp.
21:17:29 [MissB] wooosh!
21:17:31 [nancyL] we like to sit in the lobby and watch the monorails go by.
21:17:32 [LimeGreenC] I've never been to the contemporary except sitting inside the monorail
21:17:35 [Rosebud] Go to the roof and check it out. If you go when the the restaurant is closed you can go on all 3 walks.
21:17:35 [BarbD] I stayed at Contemporary my first trip and we saw fireworks right from our window, then another night from the roof top and right afterward the electrical parade
21:17:37 [AliciaG] shopping and the arcade
21:17:37 [Esmerelda] They also have the best playground too
21:17:50 [MJ_CoHost] I like laying on EJ4Disney's bed & looking at the Castle.
21:17:52 [WillCAD] I agree Paul, I love the shops in Contemp.
21:17:53 [Moley] Nancy, what a cool suggestion!
21:17:53 [MissB] (that was either the monorail or the blow dryer for Moley's big hair)
21:18:10 [BarbD] The quiet pool is nice too at the COntemporary because its close to the lake,
21:18:17 [WillCAD] BarbD, were you in the tower or in a garden wing?
21:18:21 [PaulF] Never made it up to the roof. Will have to do that next trip.
21:18:24 [Rosebud] They also have the parasailing from there too.
21:18:25 [nancyL] my (then) 2 year old flipped out every time one went by.
21:18:26 [MissB] can you swim in the pools at other resorts?
21:18:28 [nancyL] lol
21:18:30 [Moley] ROFL, MissB
21:18:33 [MissB] I usually stay at the BC and I know you can't there
21:18:34 [LimeGreenC] lol MissB
21:18:35 [BarbD] We had Garden wing, North
21:18:41 [nancyL] I dont think so missb
21:18:47 [Rosebud] You have to go to the roof - wonderful views!
21:18:51 [WillCAD] MissB, no, pool-hopping is not allowed by Disney.
21:18:55 [Moley] no, you cannot swim in the pools
21:19:04 [Esmerelda] I would love to do the parasailing soon-but I want to do it with my daughter, and I think you have to be 8
21:19:06 [BarbD] Our first night we was so tired we went to bed about 10ish and with in minutes we heard pop. pop , pop and looked out and it was the fireworks
21:19:09 [MissB] they have lots of boats at the Contemp--looks like a good place to rent one
21:19:11 [DisneyPam] MissB - there is no resort pool hopping unless you are a DVCer staying on points. ANd that is subject to availability.
21:19:13 [Moley] However, you can grab a drink by the pool and enjoy the view.
21:19:14 [Sully] I thought DVC members could
21:19:19 [PaulF] Disney had to ask Moley not to run her blow dryer while the Osborne Lights were going on. The park was experiencing blackouts.
21:19:21 [BarbD] I parasailed last MAy!! It was a blast
21:19:21 [MJ_CoHost] They have talking elevators - that is kinda neat
21:19:26 [WillCAD] Too bad, I love some of the resort pools.
21:19:30 [MissB] LOL, Paul!
21:19:34 [MJ_CoHost] LOL Paul
21:19:38 [BarbD] lol Paul
21:19:40 [MissB] talking elevators?
21:19:51 [WillCAD] Has anyone ever just walked around the grounds of Contep to look around?
21:19:52 [LimeGreenC] lol Paul
21:19:54 [AliciaG] rofl, Paul!
21:19:54 [MissB] wow, brave BarbD
21:19:56 [Moley] LOL, Paul
21:20:01 [Rosebud] My DD loves to push all the buttons in the elevators to hear all the different characters - it can get embarassing
21:20:05 [Esmerelda] BarbD, was it scary at all? HOw long did it last?
21:20:09 [nancyL] yes willcad-
21:20:14 [BarbD] The contemporary has a lot of activities on the water
21:20:23 [PaulF] Never wandered past the lobby
21:20:23 [MJ_CoHost] Yes they have character voices announcing the floors.
21:20:24 [nancyL] Oh- another thing fun to do is feed the ducks on the dock. And the fish. They nearly jump out of the water for the food.
21:20:30 [MissB] not me, Will, it seems so spread out
21:20:32 [BarbD] Esmeralda no way, I had so much fun, maybe 10 minutes I think
21:20:36 [Moley] ooh, ooh, MissB has a great suggestion. only at the contemp do you have those elevators.
21:20:38 [nancyL] we had a GREAT evening there just feeding the ducks and fish one day.
21:20:39 [PaulF] never wandered past the lobby
21:20:44 [Rosebud] No Will - only from the boat dock into the building
21:21:03 [Esmerelda] We enjoyed feeding the ducks too-and they were very brave
21:21:13 [MissB] and elevators are on the lazy butt resort tour
21:21:14 [Esmerelda] Hmmmm, maybe I will go parasailing next month :-)
21:21:22 [WillCAD] Remember to walk around when you resort-hop anywhere. See the scenery and buildings away from the lobby.
21:21:25 [nancyL] they eat out of your hand if there's not a huge crowd there.
21:21:35 [Moley] Indeed!
21:21:43 [AliciaG] I think everybody needs to experience the CR at least with a visit since it is one of Walt's originals.
21:21:44 [PaulF] Brave ducks tend to make a grand entree.
21:21:47 [BarbD] The parasailing is at the Contemporary too.
21:22:01 [nancyL] PAUL!
21:22:14 [MissB] True, Alicia, there have been a lot of open style hotels since but it was the first!
21:22:17 [Rosebud] Will - I usually do check out the grounds, but just never did there - but I boated around the edges
21:22:21 [MJ_CoHost] Do you all know the secret about the Contemporary Rooms?
21:22:25 [PaulF] hee-hee
21:22:32 [WillCAD] Okay, back aboard the monorail (Please Stand Clear of the Doors) and on to Disney's Polynesian Resort.
21:22:40 [Rosebud] Barb - we are at the Contemporary - where are you?
21:22:40 [BarbD] No MJ, do tell
21:22:46 [nancyL] wait, we need to know the secret!
21:22:47 [MJ_CoHost] They were prefab rooms & placed in the tower 1 by 1.
21:22:49 [Moley] How soundproof they are, MJ?
21:22:49 [PaulF] The Cont rooms were all prefab?
21:22:51 [AliciaG] do tell, MJ
21:22:54 [MissB] I'm staying at the Poly for the first time in December!
21:23:06 [Rosebud] Did the monorail reach the Poly yet?
21:23:14 [LimeGreenC] I fell in love with the Poly in September
21:23:19 [Moley] Yeah, the Poly!!
21:23:24 [MissB] It did, Rosebud
21:23:24 [BarbD] The Poly I know nothing about except it shares the buses with the Contemporary
21:23:26 [Sully] Prefab like the cells at the prison Iwork at
21:23:27 [nancyL] I love the poly.
21:23:32 [nancyL] Sigh. I want to be there now.
21:23:33 [MJ_CoHost] Yes they were individually put in one by one. Saw it on the Travel Channel.
21:23:34 [WillCAD] Yes, great secret MJ. I've seen pics of the roms being loaded into the building by crane. Amazing!
21:23:37 [AliciaG] LOL, Moley. why do you ask
21:23:41 [MissB] It looks like the grounds are worth exploring there--lovely gardens
21:23:41 [Moley] Welcome, Valerie!!
21:23:43 [nancyL] wow MJ- that is cool.
21:23:52 [MJ_CoHost] Hey Valerue'
21:23:59 [Valerie] hello this is rosebuds daughter
21:23:59 [Rosebud] I think that is the first resort I ever checked out. I remember that pool looked so cool back then with that little itty bitty slide.
21:23:59 [LimeGreenC] Hi Valerie
21:24:00 [AliciaG] Hi Valerie!
21:24:02 [Moley]
21:24:03 [nancyL] The poly is great for the beach, the grounds and the luau.
21:24:06 [MJ_CoHost] Sorry Valerie - welcome to the WDW Resort Chat
21:24:09 [Rosebud] Hi Valerie - you found us
21:24:09 [WillCAD] Welcome to Disney's Polynesian Resort. We are now entering the Great Ceremonial House. Comments anyone?
21:24:15 [nancyL] Love to sit on the beach and watch the ELP
21:24:25 [nancyL] hammocks, the lobby is worth seeing
21:24:31 [LimeGreenC] ohohoh ME!! I love to sit and listen to the waterfall!
21:24:34 [Esmerelda] I absolutely love the Great Ceremonial House-great place for pictures
21:24:35 [Valerie] hello everyone
21:24:38 [MissB] How's the shopping at the Poly? Any special shops?
21:24:43 [nancyL] At night, the torches really add atmostphere.
21:24:44 [MissB] And are there still birds in the lobby?
21:24:46 [MJ_CoHost] Oh this resort makes you feel like you have been taken to the Islands.
21:24:47 [nancyL] Hello valerie
21:24:50 [AliciaG] Yea, the Poly. I'll be there trying conciege for the first time in a few short weeks!
21:25:02 [nancyL] No Miss B- they sent them to the Animal Kingdom b/c they were getting sick
21:25:05 [LimeGreenC] My daughter had a blast making lei's in the Grand Ceremonial House
21:25:12 [Rosebud] I don't know about the stores, but they have great Tongo Toast
21:25:16 [Moley] Oh yeah, I'm heading to the Kona cafe to look at the chocolate sculptures and the dessert displays!
21:25:18 [MissB] Oh,
21:25:20 [WillCAD] Shops in the GCH are wonderful, full of beautiful Polynesian goods. Hawaiian shirts, surrongs, etc.
21:25:21 [nancyL] the stores are good too.
21:25:25 [Esmerelda] The Neverland club is awesome, and they have free arts & crafts there during the day
21:25:30 [nancyL] Very very nice "resort wear" at a few of them.
21:25:34 [MissB] Chocolate sculptures?
21:25:42 [WillCAD] Still birds and waterfalls in the lobby.
21:25:43 [nancyL] They're ok now MissB- they're very happy at the AK
21:25:47 [Esmerelda] oh gosh-the concierge is incredible. TOTALLY spoiled me
21:25:52 [Rosebud] Do they still have the hula lessons?
21:25:52 [MJ_CoHost] They do have some neat shops to buy resort wear.
21:26:02 [nancyL] no birds in Jan Will-
21:26:04 [LimeGreenC] I second that about concierge!
21:26:06 [DisneyPam] I love the shops at the Poly
21:26:13 [WillCAD] Well, the birds are recorded now, but you can still hear them.
21:26:14 [PaulF] I know I say this every time, but I still think the Polynesian screwed up with that new pool when they didn't make so it spit kids out the top of the volcano like lava into the pool!
21:26:20 [MissB] Esmerelda, my hubby has been spoiled by concierge and never wants to go any other way
21:26:22 [AliciaG] The beach can't be beat. What a wonderful way to relax.
21:26:22 [nancyL] lol
21:26:33 [nancyL] lol Paul.
21:26:36 [MissB] Paul, do you have kids?
21:26:38 [MJ_CoHost] Paul isn't that what the last slide did there?
21:26:50 [LimeGreenC] Rosebud, I hope we didn't scare Valerie off!
21:26:52 [Moley] Try a hammock on the beach!
21:26:53 [WillCAD] Too many safety regs for that Paul.
21:27:00 [Esmerelda] If Paul ever did have kids, I'm sure they aren't alive now ;-)
21:27:01 [MJ_CoHost] That is a cool pool now. I love the zero entrance pools.
21:27:02 [PaulF] did it? lol
21:27:19 [Rosebud] She may be trying to post some pictures - she is using her roommates computer
21:27:19 [Moley] LOL, Esmerelda
21:27:25 [MissB] Why is the beach at the Poly always the one you hear about? Several resorts have beaches
21:27:27 [MJ_CoHost] Yes it was kind of out of the water & sort of shot you into the pool
21:27:28 [WillCAD] I've heard the hammocks on the Poly beach are great for watchig MK fireworks.
21:27:35 [Esmerelda] I LOVE watching the fireworks from the concierge lounge
21:27:35 [nancyL] The quiet pool is pretty nice too.
21:27:47 [Moley] MissB, the Poly beach has the best views.
21:27:54 [nancyL] The Poly beach is the nicest Miss B and has the best views.
21:27:54 [LimeGreenC] There are lots of cool little bunny rabbits and lizards wandering the grounds at the Poly, we were fascinated with those, I know it doesn't take much!
21:28:03 [nancyL] ducks there too.
21:28:07 [MissB] bunnies!
21:28:15 [Rosebud] Plus the poly beach has the fireworks music
21:28:20 [MissB] <--into wildlife
21:28:23 [nancyL] And torches
21:28:27 [Sully] DW has problem with outside entrance hotel rooms doesntt feel deluxe to her
21:28:28 [Moley] The ducks follow NancyL from resort to resort.
21:28:37 [PaulF] Did you folks know there used to be a machine in Seven Seas lagoon that made waves on the Polynesian shore?
21:28:39 [WillCAD] I like wandering the Poly grounds and taking pictures. It's like being in Hawaii.
21:28:40 [nancyL] MissB there are ducks at the poly too- if youg et a ground floor room they come right to the door.
21:28:41 [Esmerelda] the ducks will come all the way in your room if you let them
21:28:47 [nancyL] >loves ducks>
21:28:53 [Moley] You can tell she is on vacation by the massive migration of theflocks from the North.
21:28:57 [MissB] quack!
21:29:02 [AliciaG] way cool trivia, Paul.
21:29:03 [MJ_CoHost] Never heard that Paul
21:29:04 [nancyL] lol Moley
21:29:20 [nancyL] The machine is still there Paul- under the water. (so I heard)
21:29:26 [WillCAD] Those bunnys and lizards can be found all over WDW Cheri.
21:29:27 [AliciaG] beach erosion cause them to stop it?
21:29:28 [PaulF] Theyhad to stop operating it because it was eroding the beaches too fast.
21:29:29 [MissB] Sully, does the Poly have outside entrance rooms?
21:29:31 [nancyL] They had to stop using it b/c it was eroding the beach.
21:29:31 [LimeGreenC] why doesnt' it work now Paul?
21:29:33 [Rosebud] Didn't know that Paul.
21:29:35 [AliciaG] Hi Tagrel

21:30:22 [LimeGreenC] Yeah Will, but there is just something not so cool, looking at a
lizard outside a giant coke cup, it's better with the hawaii feel.
21:30:31 [MissB] Ah, the GF
21:30:31 [nancyL] Grand Floridian- have to go there just to gawk.
21:30:31 [BarbD] Tagrel we boarded the momorail at the Contemporary and Will Cad boarded us on to the Poly now
21:30:32 [WillCAD] You'll just have to log it and read it later, Dave.
21:30:38 [Tagrel] Just in time! Just at the GF in December!
21:30:38 [LimeGreenC] Hi Tagrel!
21:30:41 [MissB] Don't forget to listen to the combo in the lobby!
21:30:43 [Moley] I am! I am! Iwant my feet massaged!!
21:30:50 [Esmerelda] I don't like the Grand Floridian-only thing I like there is the gingerbread house at Christmas
21:30:55 [Rosebud] Love the GF at X-mas
21:30:57 [nancyL] Oh- did anyone hear/

21:31:45 [Rosebud] Will, I thought we were there already
21:31:46 [nancyL] not yet tracy
21:31:48 [MJ_CoHost] Never thought I would like the GF until I saw it on the Travel Channel. Very nice
21:31:50 [Tagrel] The tree there is amazing. I've never seen any tree, any where that big. I swear its bigger than Rockefeller center, but probably just seems that way because its inside.
21:31:56 [WillCAD] Not yet Tracy. Still on the monorail.
21:31:56 [MissB] How far is the walk to the Spa from the GF?
21:31:58 [MJ_CoHost] No not yet Tracy
21:32:02 [Esmerelda] I just have no desire to stay there-seems to stuffy for me
21:32:04 [Moley] The Spa! The Spa!
21:32:06 [LimeGreenC] Hubby doesn't like GF, he says it's too stuffy
21:32:08 [DisneyPam] I love the gingerbread house during the hols...
21:32:13 [BarbD] HAs anyone been to the expensive restaurant at Grand Floridian?
21:32:14 [Tagrel] I have a great duck picture from the beach in front of the GF.
21:32:16 [Tracy] good
21:32:18 [Moley] Peter the Masseuse!
21:32:19 [nancyL] Its a bit stuffy.
21:32:22 [MissB] Has Hubby stayed there, Cheri?
21:32:23 [PaulF] "Hey, that's not a real tree!" LOL
21:32:30 [MissB] Ooo, Peter the Masseuse!
21:32:38 [Rosebud] Doesn't seem stuffy to me - just beautiful
21:32:39 [nancyL] See? Lots of ducks!
21:32:41 [WillCAD] I've heard people say GF is stuffy, I just think it's a little more formal and reserved.
21:32:41 [LimeGreenC] However, I will stay at the GF one day, with or without him!
21:32:44 [MissB] Ursulinda, hello
21:32:46 [Tagrel] It really isn't stuffy at all - We didn't find it that way at least.
21:32:49 [Moley] YES!! Baby Sistah
21:32:49 [MJ_CoHost] There was a wedding there in December. The Bride was coming down the stairs - beautiful
21:32:51 [BarbD] I htink beautiful too
21:32:56 [Rosebud] Has anyone walked over to the wedding pavilion
21:32:57 [nancyL] Oh its beautiful too! I think its the "prettiest" resort.
21:32:57 [MissB] I found the cast members just as friendly at the GF as at the BC
21:33:01 [LimeGreenC] no MissB, we ate at 1900 Park Fare, and he just isn't into that type "theming"
21:33:03 [Tagrel] Hi Ursulinda!
21:33:04 [MJ_CoHost] Hi Ursulinda welcome to the WDW Resort Chat
21:33:07 [MissB] And I love the flowers
21:33:15 [WillCAD] I love browsing the shops at GF, but I haven't explored the grounds.
21:33:16 [Tracy] I would like to stay there some day too, so far we have just looked around
21:33:16 [AliciaG] Hi Ursalinda
21:33:19 [nancyL] w/b valerie
21:33:20 [Moley] I have, Rosebud, it's lovely and equidistant to the Poly.
21:33:22 [Tracy] hi valerie
21:33:25 [MJ_CoHost] WB Valerie
21:33:28 [Esmerelda] WOOHOO!!!!!!!! I knew you would make it eventually!
21:33:28 [LimeGreenC] Hi ursulinda
21:33:28 [Tagrel] I think some people just FEEL that its stuffy because it is so formal looking.
21:33:33 [LimeGreenC] WB Valerie
21:33:40 [Rosebud] Val - you came back
21:33:46 [Tagrel] I've heard the same about YC, and never felt that way there either...
21:33:47 [Tracy] what are the rooms at theGF themed as?
21:33:48 [nancyL] Awww heck- I have to go- one of the kids has a belly ache.
21:33:52 [Moley] You can buy footrubs at the Spa.
21:33:58 [AliciaG] WB Valerie
21:34:01 [Tagrel] hi Valerie
21:34:03 [nancyL] Ill try to come back later, if not maybe tomorrow?
21:34:05 [PaulF] I would like to stay at the GF but if we do it's gonna be full bore. The Walt suite and everything.
21:34:07 [WillCAD] Besides get married, what else is fun at GF if you're not staying there?
21:34:09 [DisneyPam] Hello Valerie...are you working tomorrow night or Friday night?
21:34:10 [Tracy] bye nancy
21:34:11 [MJ_CoHost] Sublte victorian colors Tracy
21:34:16 [LimeGreenC] Tagrel, my hubby is just a "plain Jane" nothing fancy about him, thus why he thinks it's stuffy, now WL and FW, right up his alley
21:34:16 [nancyL] Ive missed you guys so much! I dont want to leave!
21:34:18 [Moley] Durn, Nancy
21:34:19 [Rosebud] We've walked around the grounds there and over to the restaurant on the water
21:34:20 [WillCAD] Any time NancyL.
21:34:22 [MissB] The rooms at the GF have kind of fancier furnishings, a bit victoiran, and the spreads have different characters
21:34:25 [Valerie] i'm exploring the site, but i can only log in for chat
21:34:26 [LimeGreenC] bye nancyL
21:34:26 [LimeGreenC] bye nancyL
21:34:30 [BarbD] You know I think where you are from may affect how you view a resort on the outside, I am from WA state and to me the Wilderness lodge looks so typical because its like the Pacific Northwest, but the Grand Floridian to me looks so Southern Charm like GOne with the Wind to me
21:34:32 [Esmerelda] Maybe that is it Tagrel, maybe it's too formal for me....it is one of only two resorts I havent stayed at
21:34:55 [MissB] By NancyL, we'll see you again
21:34:56 [Rosebud] Val - did you go to the getting started room?
21:35:09 [Tagrel] The kids grand adventures are fun. Cooking, Tea with Alice and Pirate cruise. All of which are kids only, so mom and dad can stop by a nice restaurant for breakfast or lunch.
21:35:22 [Valerie] i can't find it
21:35:22 [MJ_CoHost] BarbD I think you are right. Even the room you get at a resort can make or break your experience.
21:35:40 [WillCAD] I think our monorail is now pulling into the TTC, and we're ready to head over to the Wilderness Lodge Resort.
21:35:41 [Tracy] zach wants to do the pirate cruise but mom is too nervous to let him!
21:35:42 [MissB] Barb, you know I'm from WA, too, and I think the theme is more the great west than just the Northwest
21:35:48 [Moley] Or Mom and Dad can get foot rubs.
21:35:54 [LimeGreenC] I wonder if boys would enjoy Tea with Alice?
21:36:02 [Tracy] woohoo...the WL...this is what I have been waiting for!!
21:36:06 [MJ_CoHost] How old Cheri
21:36:15 [MissB] Tracy, how old is Zach?
21:36:20 [Rosebud] Val - you have to pick Forum at the top of the page
21:36:21 [MJ_CoHost] WL is one of the best themed resorts in my opinion.
21:36:38 [Tagrel] We took my mom and she LOVES victorian, and we got a great rate, so that was the only reason. Not my personal favorite, but I just didn't find it stuffy.
21:36:39 [LimeGreenC] he'll be 4 in December MJ, I just dont' want him to be away from my DD if I'm not there
21:36:41 [Esmerelda] I will be there in 33 days :-)
21:36:51 [MissB] WL is the only resort I've ever been to just to see it (didn't eat there or anything)
21:36:51 [LimeGreenC] WL, BEAUTIFUL!!
21:36:53 [BarbD] I never see many sales for the Grand Floridian, Why is that?
21:36:55 [MJ_CoHost] Then yes he will probably like it.
21:36:56 [Valerie] ok, i'll go try that
21:36:56 [Tracy] zach is 9....I know he is old enought to go, I am just nervous about the water!
21:36:59 [Rosebud] Will you skipped Shaes of Green, aka Disney Inn, aka Disney Golf Resort
21:37:00 [WillCAD] To get to WL from the TTC, we must board a boat for a beautiful sail past Contemporary and Discovery Island.
21:37:10 [Moley] Did y'all watch the Travel Channel show on Wilderness Lodge?
21:37:17 [Tagrel] Watching the fireworks from the front pier is fun too.
21:37:21 [MJ_CoHost] Walking through those doors into the lobby is just awesome
21:37:23 [LimeGreenC] I love the bar area there, took me forever to find the hidden Mickey on the ceiling
21:37:25 [Esmerelda] LindaB says she really isn't in the chat-it keeps taking her back to the sign in window-she's not being rude
21:37:38 [WillCAD] We're leaving that one out tonight Rosebud, since it's restricted to millitary personnell and closed for a 3 year rehab anyway.
21:37:46 [ursulinda] ahhhhhh. finally. Hello
21:37:48 [PaulF] One of these days I'm gonna park in front of that geyser (no, not the one in the mirror) and wait for it to go off. I've never seen that at WL.
21:37:53 [Tagrel] LOVE the WL. It was especially pretty at Christmas
21:37:54 [AliciaG] Tracy...it is very safe. The boat is totally fenced in and they wear lifejackets. Good ratio of CM's too.
21:37:55 [Tracy] I have not even seen the WL, and we are staying there in Nov, so I am trying to gather info on it
21:38:02 [MissB] Hi, Ursulinda!
21:38:12 [Rosebud] I've seen the geyer more than once.
21:38:17 [MJ_CoHost] Esmerelda tell Linda she has to sign in thru IE since she has AOL
21:38:22 [LimeGreenC] Hi Urulinda
21:38:27 [AliciaG] Neat to go see the geyser
21:38:29 [MissB] The stream and the geyser are very nice touches
21:38:33 [WillCAD] WL lobby is one of the best at WDW. I love the stream running through the middle!
21:38:45 [Tracy] what is everyones favorite thing at WL?
21:38:49 [Rosebud] Tracy - I missed it what are you worried about?
21:38:50 [Esmerelda] I like the quiet pool at WLV
21:38:53 [MissB] I like the fireplace, too
21:39:06 [WillCAD] I have been trying to get a picture of the geyser erupting for years, but I keep missing it.
21:39:07 [Moley] How about the shops there. Can you buy logging equipment and the like?
21:39:12 [Tracy] also has anyone ever stayed at the concierge level at the WL?
21:39:12 [Rosebud] Pam, off Thur. Fri - 18:00 - 2:30
21:39:14 [MissB] and the totem poles (now they ARE Pacific Northwest)
21:39:14 [LimeGreenC] There is whole list for Hidden Mickeys at the WL I've heard
21:39:15 [BarbD] Do you have to ride the bus to get around at WL?
21:39:20 [MJ_CoHost] Just exploring this resort is wonderful
21:39:24 [AliciaG] I'd say the courtyard...what a great view!
21:39:28 [WillCAD] The fireplace and seating area in the lobby are fabulous.
21:39:29 [MissB] logging equipment and stuffed spotted owls
21:39:36 [Rosebud] Will the Geyser is on a schedule time
21:39:43 [Moley] There used to be a free tour of WL. Does that still go on?
21:39:55 [Tracy] Rosebud, I was just too nervous to let Zach do the pirate cruise last year...I am very nervous of the water and drowning!!
21:39:56 [WillCAD] No Barb, WL is a smaller resort. Everything is in walking distance from the lobby.
21:40:02 [AliciaG] NancyL has Tracy, maybe you could post in the resort forum or PM her.
21:40:03 [PaulF] and the WL is one of the few places you can get your picture taken with Humphrey the Bear. At the totem pole just outside the Mercatile.
21:40:05 [Esmerelda] I loved WL until they opened AKL, now I much prefer AKL-kind of spoiled me
21:40:08 [MissB] Barb, It's just one big building and a second one for the villas connected by a walkway
21:40:13 [BarbD] I mean to get to the parks, is it a bus or boat to get there?
21:40:19 [Rosebud] Has anyone been the flag family>?
21:40:20 [Tagrel] Walk over through the Villas lobby. There is wonderful fireplaces, rocking chairs, game boards and even one of Walts model trains (the BIG ones)
21:40:28 [Moley] And the tour would include a complimentary tasting of something, forgot what.
21:40:32 [MissB] Boat to MK, bus to everything else
21:40:36 [Moley] Maybe duck meat.
21:40:41 [Rosebud] Who is Humphrey the Bear?
21:40:44 [MissB] northwest wines?
21:40:45 [Tagrel] AKL and WL had the same designers
21:40:51 [MJ_CoHost] No but it seems fun Rosebud
21:40:52 [LimeGreenC] bus or boat Barb. The boat is a "ride" in itself
21:40:55 [DisneyPam] thanks Rosebud - we'll look for her if we go on Friday. Are there any treats we can bring her?
21:40:59 [WillCAD] Boat to MK, then monorail to Epcot. Busses to AK and MGM.
21:40:59 [Esmerelda] that sounds like a cool tour
21:41:01 [MissB] That train was Walt's???
21:41:03 [MissB] wow!
21:41:08 [PaulF] Humphrey was from the WWoD shows, the ones with the park ranger.
21:41:20 [DisneyPam] relaxing in the Iron Spike room is a favorite thing to do at VWL.
21:41:26 [Tagrel] yes MissB
21:41:32 [MissB] Spike room?
21:41:36 [MissB] Is that the hair salon?
21:41:37 [Rosebud] Tagrel, was the model train behind a case - I don't remember seeing it - of course I forget a lot
21:41:49 [Tracy] has anyone used the kids club there?
21:41:53 [Tagrel] That is the name for an area of the lobby for the VWL
21:41:57 [LimeGreenC] Iron Spike room? sounds ummm.... never mind
21:41:58 [Tagrel] Iron Spike room
21:42:06 [BarbD] Can you walk to MK from WL? (I knwo they say Beach Club is a boat ride to Epsot yet we walk it all the time)
21:42:09 [ursulinda] iron spike room - has trains on the fireplace screen, train in display case
21:42:10 [MJ_CoHost] I don't remember a hair salon
21:42:11 [Tagrel] Yes, the train section is in a case.
21:42:24 [MJ_CoHost] No you can't Barb. Boat to MK
21:42:30 [Esmerelda] I've used the kid's club but it was probably 10+ years ago
21:42:32 [LimeGreenC] Barb, no you can't walk to MK
21:42:34 [MissB] I was must kidding, Margaret
21:42:34 [ursulinda] trains on the navajo rug, and map of trains across the us
21:42:45 [Tagrel] No path to walk to MK from WL. Boat or Bus.
21:42:45 [MissB] must, just, something like that
21:42:46 [Moley] It is too far, Barb.
21:42:49 [WillCAD] Too far Barb. WL and MK are on opposite sides of Bay Lake.
21:42:55 [MJ_CoHost] Or you can boat to Contemporary & then walk
21:42:57 [Moley] But you can walk to Fort Wilderness, about a mile.
21:42:58 [BarbD] Thanks
21:43:11 [Tagrel] I'll have to find all those Ursulinda. Thanks!
21:43:17 [BarbD] I have walked from Contemporary to MK several times
21:43:23 [MJ_CoHost] Moley I know you spend all your time fixing your hair just so in Disney
21:43:34 [WillCAD] Well, let's walk over to Ft. Wilderness then Moley. What's the first thing you see?
21:43:46 [Moley] I really do.
21:43:50 [LimeGreenC] The petting zoo!
21:43:50 [PaulF] never been to FW
21:43:50 [MissB] petting zoo?
21:43:53 [Esmerelda] Moley's hair is ALWAYS perfect
21:44:05 [MJ_CoHost] Moley is perfect!
21:44:05 [BarbD] I never been to or around FOrt Wilderness. I thouhgt it was a camp ground
21:44:06 [Rosebud] We like to go up to the little porches overlooking the lobby and sit and rock
21:44:12 [LimeGreenC] Campfire sing a long!
21:44:12 [Moley] My butt in a porch rocking chair, Will.
21:44:13 [Tracy] I have never been to FW
21:44:15 [Esmerelda] oh, PaulF you MUST go to FW-my favorite after AKL
21:44:16 [MJ_CoHost] Never been to Fort Wilderness
21:44:20 [Rosebud] Ooops - I didn't realize we moved to FtW
21:44:23 [Tagrel] I hear the cafeteria buffet is good and reasonably priced
21:44:26 [MissB] Moley has the only hair that doesn't move on the TOT
21:44:26 [ursulinda] She really does! (Hi big sistah!)
21:44:27 [Rosebud] I've camped there.
21:44:33 [travis] hi guys
21:44:35 [WillCAD] FtW is a campground Barb.
21:44:37 [LimeGreenC] hi travis
21:44:40 [Esmerelda] Campfire at Fort Wilderness is a bunch of fun, and FREE!
21:44:42 [MJ_CoHost] Hi travis welcome to the WDW Resort Chat
21:44:42 [Tagrel] we haven't made it to FW yet...
21:44:44 [AliciaG] Hi Travis
21:44:47 [Tagrel] hi travis
21:44:48 [LimeGreenC] campfire sing a long is great!
21:44:48 [Moley] Hey, Travis!! So glad you are here!
21:45:00 [BarbD] How do people camp in Flroida? I love the heat and Humidity but I love the air conditioning too
21:45:00 [Rosebud] They also have Wilderness homes - really nice because you can park right outside your door
21:45:02 [MissB] I'd like to do that campfire!
21:45:03 [AliciaG] I really wanna visit Ft.W What would the kids enjoy?
21:45:03 [travis] hi moley!
21:45:06 [WillCAD] Yes, Trail's End Buffeteria has been highly recomended to me. I'll be eating there on my next trip for sure.
21:45:10 [MissB] Are there buses after campfire?
21:45:12 [LimeGreenC] Tagrel, it's the best bang for your buck breakfast around!
21:45:14 [Tracy] ok guys, I have to run, chat with some of you tomorrow!
21:45:15 [Esmerelda] my daughter enjoyed the wagon ride too
21:45:22 [Moley] Ducks can also nest in my hair.
21:45:25 [MJ_CoHost] nite Tracy
21:45:28 [WillCAD] Bye Tracy
21:45:31 [Tracy] bye
21:45:32 [Rosebud] We camped there last Christmas and they came around on a wagon with Carols playing and handed out bags of candy
21:45:37 [ursulinda] buffalo on wednesday night, i think
21:45:37 [AliciaG] nite, Tracy
21:45:43 [Tagrel] We have to try it LGC. Love a good breakfast!
21:45:47 [PaulF] my idea of roughing it (i.e. camping), would be a $300,000
Winnebago maybe. Beyond that, I'm headed for a hotel.
21:45:57 [Rosebud] The busses go continually
21:46:09 [MissB] I admit, I pick my lodgings based on PLUMBING
21:46:15 [LimeGreenC] Miss B, yes there are internal busses to get you back to Pioneer hall area to use the boat or back to the settelment depot I believe it's called for parking
21:46:16 [BarbD] My idea of camping has room service avalible
21:46:20 [MJ_CoHost] I am with you MissB
21:46:22 [MissB] and spa proximity ;-)
21:46:24 [Rosebud] Paul, the wilderness homes there have dishwashers and they even wash the dishes for you
21:46:36 [Rosebud] Clean out your barbeques if you use them.
21:46:37 [Valerie] ok i think i figured it out
21:46:41 [WillCAD] Are there gift shops and game rooms at FtW?
21:46:43 [Esmerelda] the cabins are very nice-and I like it b/c kids can be loud witout you having to worry about them disturbing someone
21:46:43 [Tagrel] LOL PaulF. I'm not a tent person either. But a nice camper is
OK...
21:46:45 [PaulF] well, that's different then. lol
21:46:47 [Rosebud] Val - did you figure out how to log in?
21:46:55 [Tagrel] It always rains when I'm in a tent!
21:46:57 [MissB] The cabins are a good value for a large family
21:47:10 [BarbD] I think staying at the All stars would be roughing it for me
21:47:12 [MissB] Tagrel--and here I thought that rain was MY fault!
21:47:28 [MissB] I'm with you, Barb--
21:47:35 [Rosebud] We also camped in the summer - had a fan and didn't enter the tent during the middle of the day. Took showers late at night in the air conditioned comfort stations
21:47:44 [travis] barbd im with you on that one hahaha
21:47:45 [LimeGreenC] There is cool shop with groceries and other Disney souviers I didn't find anywhere else at Disney!
21:47:46 [ursulinda] It never fails to rain on a tent trip.
21:47:49 [MJ_CoHost] It would be nice not to have kids yelling outside your door & then having the parents yell for them to be quiet.
21:48:01 [Rosebud] Usually we went swimming very late at night and got back and took a shower around 2:00
21:48:01 [DisneyPam] tents are evil...
21:48:15 [WillCAD] Remember folks, we're not staying here, we're just resort hopping.
21:48:18 [MissB] yes, there's a certain intimacy about tenting
21:48:28 [MissB] Is it time to hop??
21:48:35 [Rosebud] OK - Will, where are we going now?
21:48:42 [Esmerelda] lets not forget that you can watch the electrical water pageant there
21:48:43 [Mr.Baloo] good googley goo
21:48:43 [Tagrel] Hi Mr. Baloo
21:48:43 [MJ_CoHost] Hi Mr. Baloo welcome to the WDW Resort Chat
21:48:43 [BarbD] Thanks Will Cad, I was almost feeling like I need a shower with all this roughing it
21:48:44 [travis] did we do the GF yet
21:48:48 [ursulinda] I liked my tent - until i needed a crane to get up off the bed.
21:48:50 [PaulF] LOL Will, but we're looking to see if we WANT to stay.
21:48:51 [MissB] Halloo, Balooo!
21:48:54 [AliciaG] Hi Mr. Baloo
21:48:55 [LimeGreenC] Hi Mr. Baloo
21:49:02 [Mr.Baloo] Hey all!!!
21:49:07 [Esmerelda] also, they take pic's before Hoop-D-Doo so dress accordingly
21:49:11 [MJ_CoHost] yes travis just missed GF
21:49:27 [travis] ah to bad... how about AKL?
21:49:38 [travis] that is the only 2 i have stayed at
21:49:41 [MJ_CoHost] Not yet travis
21:49:41 [MissB] not yet, travis
21:49:54 [travis] good
21:49:55 [WillCAD] Well, if we're ready to go, we'll hop the monorail back at TTC and go to Epcot, then out International Gateway to the Friendship Launch dock.
21:50:03 [BarbD] Whats our mode of transportation to the next resort?
21:50:04 [PaulF] Well, I need to get off at the TTC and head to work. No more hopping for me. lol
21:50:15 [Mr.Baloo] well, our resort options this coming trip will be Cont-Garden Wing... or AKL
21:50:15 [BarbD] Ohh my neck of the woods
21:50:20 [MJ_CoHost] Nite Paul
21:50:23 [MissB] First stop Beach Club?
21:50:24 [AliciaG] nite, Paul
21:50:26 [LimeGreenC] bye Paul!
21:50:30 [PaulF] Have a good night folks, see ya's!
21:50:33 [Tagrel] bye PaulF
21:50:42 [Rosebud] Will, where are we going?
21:50:44 [Mr.Baloo] later Paul
21:50:52 [Moley] Night, Paulie!
21:50:58 [Esmerelda] oh Paul-chat's just aren't the same without you
21:51:07 [MissB] We're on a Friendship out of the International Gateway heading to ...
21:51:08 [MJ_CoHost] Epcot Resorts Rosebud
21:51:09 [WillCAD] The Friendship Launches run in loops around Crescent Lake to no less than 5 resorts, ending at MGM. First of all, TAKE THE BOATS AT LEAST ONCE!
21:51:15 [Mr.Baloo] just cant bring myself to paying more that $200 a night for a bed...
21:51:29 [Rosebud] But which EPCOT resort?
21:51:37 [Tagrel] The boats are nice. And air conditioned to!
21:51:39 [BarbD] I ususally get Beach CLub for about $200
21:51:40 [MissB] If all you use is the bed, then go for cheap
21:51:45 [Rosebud] Or are we doing all of them at once?
21:51:53 [WillCAD] The boats themselves are part of the adventure, and are a very soothing way to relax in the middle of a hectic WDW park day.
21:52:06 [LimeGreenC] LOL MissB!
21:52:09 [Mr.Baloo] onward Capt. Will
21:52:09 [Tagrel] Puppy potty time --- be back soon.
21:52:23 [WillCAD] First resort on the loop is the Yacht & Beach Clubs.
21:52:28 [LimeGreenC] hb Tagrel
21:52:40 [AliciaG] Yipee! Do tell!
21:52:42 [MJ_CoHost] My Dream Resorts - I will stay there some day
21:52:45 [MissB] BC! BC! BC! BC!
21:52:55 [WillCAD] I love the lobbies and gift shops. Lots of maritime stuff to see and buy.
21:52:58 [Rosebud] I want to stay there so I can go to the pool
21:53:01 [BarbD] Last MAy we got a free upgrade to Consierge. It was cool to get the free perks. They said we got the free upgrade because we were a repeat visitor to that resort and they know these sort of things.
21:53:01 [Mr.Baloo] now those are >200 resorts I would like to stay at...
21:53:04 [DisneyPam] Mr. Baloo -thats why I have DVC. Studios are comparable to rooms at the Epcot resorts but have the fridge/micro/toaster and cost a lot less
21:53:10 [AliciaG] Can't wait to try that pool, and sit in those rockers overlooking the lake!
21:53:12 [MissB] I can't believe Tagrel left before walking us around Stormalong Bay
21:53:15 [BarbD] That was at Beach Club
21:53:16 [Rosebud] I've walked around the pool, but I actually want to go in the pool.
21:53:17 [travis] they are really nice places but we can't part from the monrail
21:53:18 [WillCAD] But what can you do if you're just visiting?
21:53:34 [MissB] You can get hair wraps!
21:53:41 [MJ_CoHost] Beaches & Cream of course
21:53:41 [Mr.Baloo] yeah DP, we are looking at that.....
21:53:43 [BarbD] WillCad you can eat there
21:53:46 [MissB] You can have a No Way Jose at Beaches and Cream!
21:53:50 [AliciaG] By getting a good deal on points, my BCV studio is averaging around $140 per night.
21:53:54 [Mr.Baloo] especially since later in life we would like to stay at Epcot resorts
21:53:57 [Esmerelda] They have a nice arcade there too
21:53:58 [WillCAD] We're just resort hopping tonight Travis. You can still stay on the monorail.
21:54:02 [travis] missb what is that?
21:54:02 [MissB] You can sit in a rocking chair and just sigh
21:54:10 [Moley] There's a Spa at the Dolphin!
21:54:14 [BarbD] I also like to shop there
21:54:17 [DisneyPam] at YC/BC you can do the pick-a-pearl.
21:54:20 [travis] ok sounds good will
21:54:23 [MissB] A No Way Jose is a sundae with hot fudge and peanut butter!
21:54:26 [WillCAD] Hows about taking an Illuminations Cruise? Anybody done that?
21:54:26 [Rosebud] At X-mas you can see the cool chocolate carousel
21:54:29 [Mr.Baloo] cool alicia
21:54:29 [Moley] And you can get your hair done at the Yacht Club.
21:54:43 [Esmerelda] Illumination Cruises are GREAT!
21:54:44 [Mr.Baloo] Moley, do thay do Flat tops???
21:54:46 [Moley] Alicia and i have, Will.
21:54:54 [DisneyPam] love the Illuminations cruises...very fun
21:54:54 [BarbD] I think walking on the Dock is great. Its made form some exotic wood and its so beautiful
21:55:00 [AliciaG] Very fun thing to do!
21:55:10 [travis] we have never eatten ice cream there..is it worth a trip out of the way?
21:55:14 [MJ_CoHost] I did last June Will. It was awesome. We even had our sweet DisneyPam singing to us on the boat
21:55:15 [MissB] There's a beach with 100's of seats at the Beach, but nobody ever sits in them, they're all around the pool
21:55:17 [Moley] Those are buzzed by the log cutters at Wilderness Lodge, Baloo.
21:55:25 [MissB] Yes, travis, it really is!
21:55:35 [WillCAD] Me, too. I loved tooling around the Epcot waterways in a pontoon boat, then tieing up untder the bridge between France and UK to watch Illuminations.
21:55:36 [MissB] I love the jukebox, at Beaches, too
21:55:43 [Rosebud] Travis, I prefer Ghiradelli's
21:55:47 [Mr.Baloo] aaaaahh.. I knew I should have inquired about that last trip
21:55:52 [MJ_CoHost] yes travis. Just stop by when you are at Epcot
21:56:06 [WillCAD] And the Ill. Cruise departs nightly from the Y&BC marina.
21:56:17 [travis] rosebud! yummmmmmmmm i love ghiradelli's
21:56:22 [MissB] Don't forget that you can ride in the Yacht during the day, too
21:56:25 [Rosebud] I would still check out the area though Travis - it is not that far
21:56:36 [LimeGreenC] ghiradelli's cable cars rock!
21:56:44 [travis] a root beer float!
21:56:45 [WillCAD] How about the Kitchen Sink at Beaches and Cream?
21:56:46 [DisneyPam] ewwwwww...Ghiradelli is yukky. 
21:56:49 [Mr.Baloo] I have narrowed down my favorite Disney desert is anything from Ghiradelli's
21:57:06 [MJ_CoHost] Loves Ghirardelli's too
21:57:13 [Rosebud] They don't let you have the kitchen sink outside - you must sit inside to eat it
21:57:24 [Mr.Baloo] next time we are doing the kitchen sink
21:57:27 [travis] i saw that on the travel channel .......how much is that kitchen sink?
21:57:29 [MissB] We did the Kitchen Sink last trip with 6 people
21:57:35 [MJ_CoHost] How come Rosebud
21:57:37 [MissB] about $20
21:57:38 [LimeGreenC] Pam, have you lost your noodle? Ghiradelli is NOT Yucky! LOL
21:57:43 [Rosebud] Lynn and someone else was going to get that at the meet in Dec, but too many of us so we had to sit outside and they couldn't get it
21:57:43 [WillCAD] Just how big IS a kitchen sink?
21:57:45 [BarbD] I have to go clean up the kitchen, I worked all day at one job and then I feel like I come home to another job,"sigh" Will Cad thanks for taking me on a partial resort hopping trip. Hope you all make it all the way tonight
21:57:52 [travis] not bad
21:58:07 [LimeGreenC] Bye Barb!
21:58:10 [MissB] 8 scoopes and a whole can of whipped cream and every topping they have and about 100 cherries and ....
21:58:12 [MJ_CoHost] Nite Barb
21:58:13 [Mr.Baloo] Hmmm... thinks it may be big enough for himself wife and 2 small kids
21:58:19 [WillCAD] Seeya Barb. Don't work too much OT.
21:58:19 [MissB] I have pictures.
21:58:31 [DisneyPam] I've tried it twice, LGC, and thought it was awful both times.
21:58:37 [AliciaG] Our family is getting the kitchen sink in May. I'll take pictures :P
21:58:49 [Esmerelda] Goodnight, Barb!
21:58:53 [Moley] It is time for me to say goodnight, too. Thank you, Will and MJ.
This has to be a "back by popular demand" topic in the future. Great job, kids.
21:58:58 [Rosebud] Oh Pam, we just love the hot fudge there.
21:59:00 [Tagrel] A kitchen sink is HUGE! I'm
back!
21:59:03 [Mr.Baloo] does anyone know if they have pictures online of that thing?>
21:59:04 [LimeGreenC] it's ok Pam, I'll just eat your share too
21:59:05 [WillCAD] Nite Moley
21:59:06 [DisneyPam] I've never tried the Kitchen Sink - there is too much stuff in it that just doesn' t go together well, IMO
21:59:08 [MJ_CoHost] Nite Moley
21:59:16 [MissB] Nite Moley
21:59:16 [LimeGreenC] Nite Moley
21:59:22 [Mr.Baloo] nite moley
21:59:28 [Tagrel] bye moley!
21:59:29 [MJ_CoHost] I agree Pammy - I don't like some of the things.
21:59:31 [Rosebud] I don't think I would try the kitchen sink - don't like to mix that much toppings either
21:59:32 [travis] nite moley
21:59:42 [MissB] Pam, if you're a separated food sort of person, don't even consider it
21:59:47 [WillCAD] Okay, maybe we need a smaller snack. Let's alk on over to the Swan & Dolphin.
21:59:49 [Esmerelda] Goodnight Moley
21:59:55 [MissB] but it is an Event
21:59:56 [Mr.Baloo] Hey, Es... this is a far cry from the topic of last night huh
22:00:04 [LimeGreenC] I need to run too, lives to save tomorrow!
22:00:04 [DisneyPam] Rosebud - I find it has an unpleasant flavor...but I usually prefer Belgian chocolates to American ones
22:00:09 [LimeGreenC] nite all
22:00:16 [Rosebud] They didn't have enough ice cream flavor choices for us
22:00:17 [MissB] I've never been inside the Swan or Dolphin--
22:00:19 [MJ_CoHost] Nite Cheri
22:00:22 [Tagrel] bye LGC
22:00:24 [WillCAD] Inside the Dolphin, on the lower level, is a wonderful little 50s themed burger and ice cream shop.
22:00:26 [Esmerelda] lol, Mr. Baloo-at least we are "walking" over to the Swan & Dolphin
22:00:29 [Mr.Baloo] I want the kind of ice cream sundae that you just sit in the middle and eat your way out...!!!!!!
22:00:35 [Mr.Baloo] HAHA!!!!!
22:00:37 [WillCAD] Nite Cheri
22:00:50 [MissB] waddling if we just partook of a kitchen sink
22:00:58 [Mr.Baloo] here we go with the ice cream again
22:01:02 [Rosebud] Oh did we move resorts. I've been in both Swan & Dolphin
22:01:19 [WillCAD] I love the burgers here, but I also got a wonderful apple pie ala mode there once.
22:01:22 [MissB] what's to see? how's that spa?
22:01:23 [Rosebud] They have giagantic hot dogs at the place.
22:01:35 [Rosebud] And I mean GIGANTIC
22:01:36 [Mr.Baloo] (puts the kitchen sink in a wagon and pulls it along)
22:01:52 [WillCAD] But don't try to use your Disney Credit Card there, because the S & D are not owned by Disney!
22:02:04 [MissB] Use your Disney Visa instead
22:02:14 [Rosebud] Anyone do Karokee at Swalphin
22:02:17 [Esmerelda] lol, Mr. Baloo-I think I should help you with the kitchen sink
22:02:20 [WillCAD] Are those dogs 1/2 pounders Rosebud?
22:02:39 [Mr.Baloo] Yeah Es.. we can take turns pushing....
22:02:43 [MJ_CoHost] Will sorry but it is 10pm & I have to run in a minute.
22:02:43 [Rosebud] Will, Don't know - they were huge though
22:02:47 [AliciaG] Karaoke at Kimonos is very entertaining! We'll go back there again.
22:03:09 [WillCAD] Okay, MJ. I think we might have to cut the chat short and pick it up where we left off next time.
22:03:15 [MissB] Did you go on stage, Alicia?
22:03:16 [Mr.Baloo] (wonders if he missed the zebra dome fight????)
22:03:28 [WillCAD] I think we'll stop after the Epcot resorts.
22:03:32 [AliciaG] Great chat Will and MargaretJ. Thanks!
22:03:33 [Esmerelda] MJ is about to run, so there is some exercise happening :-)
22:03:34 [Rosebud] We only walked by Kimonos - one of these times we will go get some sushi and listen to others sing.
22:03:39 [MJ_CoHost] No Mr Baloo did not make it to AKL
22:03:45 [Rosebud] Yeah, I got to go to bed - I'm tired.
22:03:50 [Tagrel] Great chat guys! Thanks!
22:03:51 [MJ_CoHost] should be some Esmerelda......
22:03:56 [WillCAD] Alicia, which resort is Kimonos in, S or D?
22:03:57 [AliciaG] MissB, We were planning on it, but it was a weekend, and the people there were GOOD
22:04:01 [Mr.Baloo] .... at the Copa, Copa Cabana..........

22:06:35 [Esmerelda] I'm headed out too-I'm hungry so I'm going to bed
22:06:40 [WillCAD] Well, I guess that pretty much ends the official chat. I guess I bit off more that I could chew!
22:06:48 [Esmerelda] Sweet dreams, everyone!
22:06:55 [Mr.Baloo] Hey, Tagrel, I even upgraded to IE 6.0 from 5.5 and it still will not refresh the page with I open it
