Jimmy - sending prayers for your father

Thank you Corinne
Since his OT and PT started earlier this week we have seen signs of improvement
Sadly, he got a call about 2 hrs ago, his youngest sister passed away. I think he is taking it better than me. Sad for our whole family as we had always been so tight knit growing up, now we lose another one.

I'm so sorry to hear about your aunt. My condolences and prayers for you and your family.

Hey guys not a big deal here but just asking for a little bit of moose dust. We leave for "home" on the 30th and I threw my back out the other day. Been to the chiropractor once and go again on Monday. Appreciate some good vibes sent my way that we can get this back into shape before we go. TIA

So sorry to hear about your Aunt. It is so tough to lose family members, especially when you have so many good memories. Cherish them and sending prayers to you and your family.

As a fellow back sufferer, I feel your pain! Wishing you a quick recovery. Try to imagine it gone just in time for your trip! Sending moose dust!!

Wishing you the best. I can relate since I‘ve been dealing with sciatica.

Thank you. I do get that sometimes with this since it is my lower back. It is a combination of arthritis and always having problems with my tailbone getting out of whack.

Thought this group would be the most knowledgeable for this information –

It’s this true? I’m seeing reports that some BRV studios have a beverage cooler and some have an actual small refrigerator. I thought the only DVC studios that had a beverage cooler after renovations were GF resort studios. This will be our first time staying at BRV and we always buy breakfast, lunch, and snack groceries for the room and would definitely need a real refrigerator not a beverage cooler.

This video walkthrough shows the kitchenette area at around 3:35. It's a real fridge but with no freezer. I'm assuming all of the rooms have the same setup. I don't think they'd pick and choose which room has a real fridge so hopefully someone else can chime in with their experience.

Where did you see that some have beverage coolers instead??

Is the last week in September normally really popular? We were hoping to book a studio at BR before our cruise but its not looking like we'll be able to do so.

 

[ClaraOswald]

September is the lowest points so maybe that's why it's booking up so fast? Or maybe there's something going on in October and people are walking reservations?

We stayed in a BRV studio in late August for one night (we reserved an extra night due to a forecast of tropical storm activity; we had been staying in a 2-bedroom unit). It was unit # 4560 (at the very end of the hall). It did not have a “regular” fridge with a freezer. Fortunately for us we did not have leftover food from earlier in the week, so it was not an issue. Unfortunately, we didn’t take any photos and we only rarely book studios.

It seems to just be the last week. The rest of Sept is wide open.

Once they did an early start to F&W it became pretty popular.
