20:59:42 [WillCAD] Howdy all. Am I late?
21:00:04 [LimeGreenC] Big Brother is on, so I'll be multitasking
21:00:13 [carrie] I was chatting in this color last night but Dennis made me change it...is it to bright?
21:00:32 [carrie] Me too! I'm addicted to Big Brother
21:00:38 [WillCAD] Big Brother is on, so I'll be on AMC watching Silver Streak.
21:00:40 [LimeGreenC] yes carrie, too bright and if I can't be limegreen, nobody can 
21:00:44 [MikeS] Hurricane Mike is here
21:00:46 [LimeGreenC] Hey Mike
21:00:54 [BetsyAnn] Hey Mike!
21:00:57 [carrie] ok, new color
21:00:58 [WillCAD] HI Mike
21:01:04 [BetsyAnn] Hey Will
21:01:20 [MikeS] where were you at lunch today Will?
21:01:24 [carrie] what's the topic tonight?
21:01:30 [BetsyAnn] I am watching the Olympics
21:01:37 [LimeGreenC] purple looks good carrie 
21:01:47 [WillCAD] Work meeting at lunch. I never pass up free food.
21:01:52 [MikeS] Big Brother and Silver Streak is on so i'll be watching Sox-Blue Jays.
21:02:36 [MikeS] y'know, i passed up the Krispy Kremes at Chef Mickey's the morning of the hurricane....could have been my last donuts.
21:03:00 [WillCAD] Tonight's topic is: Lookie There! The best views you ever had at WDW resorts.
21:03:09 [LimeGreenC] I didn't know they had krispy kremes at CM
21:03:21 [BetsyAnn] I am glad it was not your last chance at a Krispy Kreme, Mike
21:03:52 [carrie] Oh, what a great topic!
21:03:55 [MikeS] August 2002...contemporary Resort....north garden Wing. I could lay on the bed and see the castle through the sliding glass door.
21:04:20 [WillCAD] I like Krispy Kremes, but there is a place in King of Prussia PA called Maples that are even better.
21:05:12 [MikeS] No donuts for me...i'm in training for Mousefest.
21:05:14 [BetsyAnn] Animal Kingdom Lodge room
21:05:41 [carrie] I like Tim Horton's over Krispy Kreme
21:05:44 [MikeS] Good one BA....AKL Savannah View....June 2003.
21:05:48 [LimeGreenC] My best view was the courtyard view at WL, but it was classified as Woods
21:05:53 [LimeGreenC] Hey BriarRose
21:06:11 [carrie] Hey...MikeS...I heard some people saying its not worth the money to stay in the wings of the Contempory...what's your thought?
21:06:16 [WillCAD] Hi BriarRose
21:06:22 [MikeS] Here's one....Pop Century 50's "A" building....great view of hurricane Charlie.
21:06:23 [carrie] because you're not really IN the Contemp
21:06:25 [WillCAD] Tonight's topic is: Lookie There! The best views you ever had at WDW resorts.
21:06:45 [MikeS] Carrie...they are right if you get stuck in the south wing and in the back.
21:07:03 [BetsyAnn] It was the 2nd floor Savannah room - I can't find the room number - but I could take you there!
21:07:08 [MikeS] there's a big diff in price between the wings and the tower.
21:07:10 [carrie] I'd love to stay in the tower...with a view of the lake
21:07:22 [BriarRose] lol carrie me too
21:07:39 [LimeGreenC] although my room at Boarwalk Villas was great too, next door to the elevator and overlooked the pool
21:07:51 [WillCAD] I'd love to stay in the tower with an MK view, way up high.
21:07:54 [BetsyAnn] My second favorite was not from my room but a friends -- Cont. high floor MK view -- WOW
21:08:10 [carrie] I'm sure that would be pricey, Will
21:08:26 [BriarRose] i want to stay in the castle with a view of GF and Poly
21:08:38 [MikeS] Probably in the $350-400 range depending upon time of year.
21:08:47 [BetsyAnn] Can I stay with you BriarR?
21:08:56 [carrie] I'll stay there with you BR
21:09:23 [BriarRose] well it is a BIG castle
21:09:35 [WillCAD] Anyone ever stay at Grand Floridian?
21:09:44 [LimeGreenC] need to run, have a great chat ya'll
21:09:55 [carrie] I'd stay at the GF if it were a honeymoon or something special
21:09:57 [BriarRose] night LGC
21:10:17 [carrie] it seems too upscale and not Disneyish enough
21:10:37 [carrie] I like All Stars or Contemporary...I like thw whimsical themes
21:10:48 [carrie] <---will shut up for a bit...I talk too much
21:11:05 [BetsyAnn] Never stayed there - but love the Spa at GF
21:11:07 [BriarRose] the best view we had was at Poly with a view of the castle
21:11:09 [MikeS] * MikeS does not like GF.
21:11:37 [BetsyAnn] Hey Jan!
21:11:38 [BriarRose] hi JJ
21:11:52 [WillCAD] I like GF, I just don't like the price tag. But I wonder if there are any really great views to be had there.
21:12:06 [justjan] Hi Everyone -- how are you all?
21:12:13 [WillCAD] Hi Jan, Welcome to the Resorts Roundup chat!
21:12:21 [WillCAD] Tonight's topic is: Lookie There! The best views you ever had at WDW resorts.
21:12:23 [BriarRose] well at least one Will - for the commercials
21:12:32 [justjan] Thanks WillCAD
21:12:53 [carrie] I'm sure there are castle views
21:13:34 [carrie] I talked to a lady on the monorail once that "paid too much to look out at a maid's garage"
21:13:42 [WillCAD] There are casatle views and there are castle views.
21:13:59 [MikeS] I like the view from Aloha Isle
21:14:21 [BetsyAnn] I also like the view from PO-FQ that looks over the river there or into the inside court yards
21:14:30 [BriarRose] lol Mike pull up the Dole Whip machine and a bed
21:14:42 [WillCAD] Yeah Mike, but you can't spend the night there. Too noisy with the steam cleaners!
21:14:49 [MikeS] Not much of a view from Saratoga Springs...just ask Dennis.
21:15:04 [justjan] Me too BA - was nice when we stayed there
21:15:15 [MikeS] Will....you know I'm always ready to spend a night in The Magic Kingdom.
21:15:20 [BetsyAnn] Did he stay there this last visit, Mike
21:15:42 [BetsyAnn] Jan I really like PO-FQ really peaceful to me
21:15:43 [WillCAD] I've heard that rooms on the lake side of Saratoga Springs have wonderful Downtown Disney views.
21:16:26 [WillCAD] It's mentioned in Anita Answer's article on Hurricane Charley on AllEarsNet
21:17:47 [carrie] I don't know of any good views....I've only been to WDW once, and I looked out at a football field
21:18:24 [MikeS] Yes, BA...that might be Dennis' first and last stay there.
21:18:36 [WillCAD] The best view I ever had was when I stayed at the Swan. Had a corner room that overlooked the boat docks and the walkway to Boardwalk.
21:19:46 [BetsyAnn] He going to tell us about it sometime? Would love to hear about it
21:22:00 [WillCAD] I think the chat is locking up on everybody.
21:22:25 [BriarRose] yup
21:22:29 [BetsyAnn] Must be freezing
21:22:51 [carrie] test
21:23:00 [carrie] My posts show up as soon as I hit enter
21:23:14 [BriarRose] okay i'm logging off
21:23:22 [MikeS] Cccaaan't ppposst.....ccchhhhat fffrreezing uuuup on mmmmme!
21:23:23 [BetsyAnn] I'm still here at this time
21:23:49 [carrie] cold, Mike?
21:23:51 [BetsyAnn] The Swan is very interesting resort for me - think it would be fun
21:24:18 [carrie] I predict Cruey's entrance
21:24:51 [Cruey] am trying to get in
21:24:55 [WillCAD] I really liked the Swan. I'd like to stay at Dolphin with a really high Epcot view sometime.
21:24:59 [Cruey] ahhh I got in
21:25:04 [BetsyAnn] Hey Cru
21:25:07 [carrie] wrong window, silly
21:25:42 [Cruey] hello dahlings! being bad I presume?
21:25:48 [carrie] Does the Swan or the Dolphin have the better Epcot views?
21:26:05 [WillCAD] Hi Cru
21:26:30 [WillCAD] Welcome to the Resorts Roundup chat!Tonight's topic is: Lookie There! The best views you ever had at WDW resorts.
21:26:55 [Cruey] hi everyone
21:27:13 [BetsyAnn] I also had a nice view at CS - my room opened into a courtyard with a fountain in the middle - great to sit out there at night
21:27:13 [WillCAD] I think Dolphin probably has better Epcot views. It's taller than Swan.
21:27:45 [MikeS] Better angle too Will.
21:27:54 [Cruey] I predict Timon willl come in here...I own a good crystal ball
21:27:56 [MikeS] Hiya cher
21:28:24 [Cruey] Sonny my pet
21:28:31 [carrie] I just might try to get an Epcot view @ Dolphin in December...I'd like an Epcot view
21:28:39 [MikeS] Rrrrrowlllf!
21:28:55 [Cruey] I like the Swan better
21:29:10 [BetsyAnn] So you all in two different chat rooms? 
21:29:13 [MikeS] DW loves the monorail view from the Poly....says it really feels like WDW.
21:29:30 [Cruey] AOL IM
21:29:36 [WillCAD] I walked through CSR once, the whole place looked really peaceful and relaxing.
21:30:10 [WillCAD] Hi RhinoDad!
21:30:22 [BetsyAnn] Hey RhinoDad
21:30:25 [Cruey] Hi RD!
21:30:25 [carrie] IM is how I predicted Cruey would come in
21:30:31 [WillCAD] Welcome to the Resorts Roundup chat! Tonight's topic is: Lookie There! The best views you ever had at WDW resorts.
21:30:33 [RhinoDad] Hi there everyone!
21:30:45 [MikeS] Rhinoceros Father...how good to see you.
21:30:45 [Timon] Hey all
21:30:47 [BetsyAnn] And another hey to Timon!
21:30:49 [WillCAD] Hi Timon
21:30:51 [Cruey] well, well, well..lokkie who's here
21:31:03 [carrie] Hi Newloggingonguys
21:31:17 [MikeS] Who's this guy timon?
21:31:18 [Cruey] Timon my pet..hello
21:31:28 [RhinoDad] carrie... most of the Swan rooms either face the Dolphin, or the road...
21:31:39 [RhinoDad] the ends look at Epcot, from what I could tell
21:31:59 [carrie] Then why do you like the Cruey? Looking for roadkill to skin?
21:32:13 [Timon] Cruey my love
21:32:29 [WillCAD] There are some corner rooms at Swan that have nice views toward Epcot.
21:32:30 [MikeS] Dawick stayed at the Dolphin last week. i believe he left today....could still be in the air.
21:32:31 [Timon] Hi BA
21:32:49 [Timon] Yes he did Mike
21:33:04 [MikeS] Changing my color.
21:33:12 [RhinoDad] I'm on short time here, as the kids want to go swimming
21:33:14 [Cruey] ddoll..perfers the Swan too..you'll have to ask her why cuz I don't know
21:33:17 [WillCAD] But to get a good view of Epcot from Swan you have to be up high. I think maybe 6th floor or higher.
21:33:56 [MikeS] Here's a novel color.
21:34:08 [MikeS] ...and i know color
21:34:36 [Cruey] looks good, Mike
21:34:42 [Timon] I had a view of EPCOT in our Studio at BCV, but not the 2 BR last week.
21:34:43 [BetsyAnn] What do you want in a view - a park or something else?
21:34:48 [Cruey] how high is the Swan?
21:35:02 [BetsyAnn] Chatroom really misbehaving
21:35:03 [WillCAD] And I know novels.
21:35:21 [MikeS] I figured you'd like it Cru.
21:35:27 [Timon] It wasn't such a great view though. We were only on the 3rd fl.
21:36:45 [RhinoDad] sorry gang, gotta run...
21:37:02 [MikeS] goodnight Rhinoceros Parent.
21:37:14 [BetsyAnn] night RD
21:37:31 [MikeS] Hey Mark, did Robbie enjoy the vacation?
21:37:33 [WillCAD] Looks like Swan is in the low teens, Dolphin in the low 20s.
21:37:51 [WDWDen] my ears are ringing!
21:37:54 [BetsyAnn] Hey Den!
21:37:54 [Cruey] Hi Den!
21:38:01 [Timon] I prefer a park view BA
21:38:01 [WDWDen] hello peeps
21:38:09 [Timon] Yo Den
21:38:10 [MikeS] Dennis is here...he can tell you about the great views at SS.
21:38:13 [Cruey] oh well then, the Dolphin would be better then
21:38:28 [WillCAD] Hi Dennis
21:38:32 [WillCAD] Welcome to the Resorts Roundup chat! Tonight's topic is: Lookie There! The best views you ever had at WDW resorts.
21:38:41 [WDWDen] oh yeah, awesome views!!
21:38:44 [BetsyAnn] Den 0- tell us about Saratoga Springs
21:38:55 [WDWDen] well, at least from MY room
21:39:03 [MikeS]
21:39:08 [WDWDen] SS was BIG
21:39:15 [Cruey] hmmm the best view, eh? Let me think...
21:39:34 [MikeS] They should call it Saratoga City.
21:39:39 [WDWDen] it had some nice touches too
21:39:50 [WDWDen] LOL, your right Mike!
21:39:55 [carrie] test
21:40:00 [BetsyAnn] wb carrie
21:40:01 [carrie] yay, not locked up anymore
21:40:13 [WillCAD] Only one small part of SS is open so far.
21:40:15 [carrie] I was trying to predict Dennis' entrance, but I was locked up
21:40:17 [MikeS] i did find my way out of there Den.
21:40:22 [WDWDen] I think my favorite view is from the BW though. I love looking at the Y&BC at night
21:40:29 [Cruey] we had an awesome view at Old Key west...but it's too quiet there
21:40:34 [carrie] Is Saratoga Springs a Disney Resort? Never heard of it
21:40:39 [BetsyAnn] So the view from your room at SS Den? -- the trash cans
21:40:56 [Timon] You stayed at SS last week Den? I didn't know that. How'd you like it?
21:41:06 [MikeS] Carie....it's the Old Disney Institute
21:41:14 [Timon] It's the newest DVC resort Carrie
21:41:14 [WDWDen] I had a pool view Betsy. It also looked at DD west side
21:41:33 [WDWDen] I have pics from my Balcony
21:41:41 [BetsyAnn] And that was not good?
21:41:52 [WDWDen] yes Mark, we stayed in a one-bed
21:41:55 [carrie] Did the refurbish it or is it the same old resort?
21:42:10 [WillCAD] Saratoga Springs is brand new Carrie. Some rooms have good views of Downtown Disney.
21:42:12 [MikeS] Dennis was snapping pics left and right last week...still waiting for the Stitch pics.
21:42:22 [WDWDen] no, it was a great view. The problem was that its like a 15 minute walk to the main pool and cafeteria
21:42:44 [WDWDen] Stitch Pics?
21:42:54 [MikeS] That walk would have been "interesting" during Charlie's visit to O-town.
21:43:07 [BetsyAnn] LOL - yeah me too Mike -- would love to see those Stitch pictures
21:43:12 [carrie] Oh yeah, how was your sneak peak into Stitch, Dennis?
21:43:13 [WDWDen] one thing I liked was the little pavilian by the quiet pool
21:43:25 [BetsyAnn] So how big is SS springs
21:43:47 [WDWDen] they had 2 BBQ grills and benches. Nice for a family day
21:44:08 [Timon] That sounds good
21:44:27 [WDWDen] oh yeah, I almost forgot the Stitch Sneak peek!!
21:44:46 [MikeS] BA, let's say that a requirement to stay there should be that you must rent a car.
21:44:52 [WDWDen] Betsy, SS is HUGE!!! I think its gonna be like 1200 rooms
21:45:09 [WDWDen] it is spread out over about 5 acres!
21:45:42 [WillCAD] Map of SS: http://www.wdwinfo.com/Photos/Saratoga-Springs/pages/0_Tour-Map.htm
21:45:43 [BetsyAnn] Well that then leaves me out -- never rent a car -- no buses internally?
21:45:50 [MikeS] That may not sound like a lot of rooms but regarding the acreage that SS covers it IS a lot of rooms.
21:45:53 [BetsyAnn] thanks Will
21:46:02 [Cruey] I am sure they have busses
21:46:14 [Cruey] it's probably like OKW
21:46:18 [MikeS] Den would you stay there again if you rented a car?
21:46:23 [WDWDen] that should have said 50 acres
21:46:43 [WDWDen] Yes Mike, I would
21:46:58 [WDWDen] It wont be as bad when the other buildings are done
21:47:07 [BetsyAnn] Wow that is huge!
21:47:11 [WDWDen] Many of them are much closer to the main building
21:47:27 [WillCAD] Dennis what was your view like at SS?
21:48:49 [WDWDen] I was on the 4th floor Will, looking down at the quiet pool, which is the best quiet pool at Disney and also looking at DD west side
21:49:15 [WDWDen] Cirque building was directly in front of me
21:49:27 [WillCAD] Why is it the best quiet pool? Is it the quietest?
21:49:28 [BetsyAnn] You going to post some picture for us Den?
21:49:28 [WDWDen] I could also see ToT in the distanc
21:49:53 [Cruey] did they fix the roof, Den?
21:50:26 [WDWDen] it was the best, IMHO, b/c of the size and shape. It was just a great pool. I had frogs spitting water at each corner
21:50:41 [WDWDen] I will post pics at Tags when I send them to him
21:50:49 [MikeS] Yeah Den...post some pics ;D
21:50:53 [MikeS]
21:50:54 [WDWDen] I took pics of the whole place
21:51:01 [BetsyAnn] That sounds like a great pool
21:51:08 [WillCAD] How about the DOwntown Disney hotels? Anybody ever stay in one of the high-rise hotels and have a nice view?
21:51:11 [WDWDen] Cruey, the tent was still off of it
21:51:59 [BetsyAnn] Ok Den - have not figured out that posting pictures yet - you disappointment as an adminstor
21:52:00 [Cruey] theer are some great views from DD....especially of the fireworks
21:52:35 [BetsyAnn] Which DD hotel is the tallest?
21:53:03 [MikeS] Den if you can send Tagrel pics then you can post 'em....it's easy.
21:53:30 [WDWDen] Sorry Betsy, I'm learning though ;-)
21:53:46 [WDWDen] Yes Mike, he was telling me how last night
21:53:56 [WDWDen] I will work on it Thursday!
21:53:57 [BetsyAnn] LO - just teasing you! it is really easy - everything here had to pass the BetsyAnn test!
21:54:10 [Cruey] one had balconies facing Epcot and the MK
21:54:26 [BetsyAnn] There is a resturant at the top of one of the DD hotels right - with very good park views?
21:54:26 [WillCAD] I think maybe the Best Western or Grosvenor are the tallest.
21:54:49 [WDWDen] Ther e a couple really tall hotels, I bet they would be cool to stay at!
21:55:47 [Cruey] I gotta run..good seeing you all
21:55:55 [Cruey] ta ta dahlings..be bad
21:56:05 [BetsyAnn] bye cru!
21:56:05 [WillCAD] Wyndham is 27 stories.
21:56:52 [carrie] Bed is calling me too...I have a 7am class tomorrow
21:57:14 [BetsyAnn] Good night Carrie
21:57:14 [WillCAD] Night Carrie

22:01:06 [WillCAD] Buena Vista Drive. Looks really nice but I've never been inside it.
22:01:50 [WillCAD] Fire? I hope he means a diaper emergency.
22:02:19 [BetsyAnn] Well at 179 a night I don't think I will be staying there
22:02:30 [BetsyAnn] Me, too Will
22:02:39 [WillCAD] Nope, me niether.
22:02:59 [WillCAD] If I had that kind of money I'd be staying at Dolphin.
22:03:14 [WillCAD] BA will you be logging the chat tonight?
22:03:25 [BetsyAnn] That is what I thought - I could stay on site
22:03:35 [BetsyAnn] Yes - if you want
22:03:50 [BetsyAnn] Do I still owe you a resort chat?
22:04:14 [WillCAD] I heard there were $149 rates at AKL available for December. Savana view no less!
22:04:14 [BetsyAnn] and did you save any while I was gone?
22:04:30 [BetsyAnn] really Will -
22:04:38 [BetsyAnn] How to get that rate
22:05:02 [BetsyAnn] I need a place for two nights before the girls get there - I would love that
22:05:06 [WillCAD] Nope, the resort chats have been very sparsely populated all summer. This is one of the best we've had.
22:05:26 [BetsyAnn] Ok - I will log it
22:05:36 [WillCAD] Can't remember where I saw that... I think on Passporter boards... let me check.
22:05:36 [BetsyAnn] It was a very good chat Will
22:07:00 [BetsyAnn] Think Mike must have left too
22:07:24 [WillCAD] Darn, it's a postcard rate!
22:07:25 [MikeS] Ooops...forgot I was still in here....multi-tasking....writing my MP article for next Friday...it's on Charlie of course.
22:08:24 [WillCAD] But check with Magical Journeys, maybe you can get a good AP rate.
22:08:35 [BetsyAnn] Thanks Will
22:08:45 [BetsyAnn] I will check with YMJ
22:09:03 [BetsyAnn] Can't wait to read it Mike
22:09:49 [WillCAD] I hate being broke... can't even afford a $50 rate if I could get it!
22:10:16 [WillCAD] But I will be able to make an April trip with my tax refund.
22:10:24 [MikeS] I'm gonna sign off now guys....I'm in a writer's groove and it's not fair to you guys as my mind is not on chatting right now....g'nite.
22:10:40 [BetsyAnn] Ok - Will - I am ntio going to bug you anymore about Dec
22:10:45 [WillCAD] Nite Mike
22:11:03 [BetsyAnn] You will have a great time in April - going over your B-day?
22:12:14 [BetsyAnn] Will - I can't save the chat
22:12:28 [BetsyAnn] can you save it and e-mail me it to me
22:12:42 [WillCAD] Yeah. Only been to WDW once on my birthday, didn't get into the parks on the day cause it was a travel day, and didn;t know about birthday buttons.
