Wish me luck this weekend! If we win our 40+ 7.0 mixed, I may try to meet up with you here and there Sun-Tues of your trip!
Have a great trip! I can't believe we are missing each other by a few days AGAIN!!!!
That's where we'll be the 17-22nd, unless something else opens up with my discount.Dad and girlfriend arrive later this day and will check in at Saratoga Springs
And we'll be at MK SundayHead to Magic Kingdom for the day.
And at AK Tuesday, but not until early afternoon.............Animal Kingdom all day long,
Where we'll get to meet if we don't meet up earlier in the week!!!!Early Thanksgiving dinner at Boma
Same for us in Nov., simply because the boys don't enjoy it as much as they used to. Since Steve and I spend so much time there when we go without them I don't feel too bad, and we were just there, but we ARE going on Black Friday because that's what we've done on our other Thanksgiving trips so I feel like it's tradition. We'll catch some holiday storytellers and I want to see the Illuminations holiday tag for the last time.I feel like we aren't giving EPCOT much love this trip (again) and part of me is sad about that.
OMG that is SO annoying, believe me it happens all the time I suppose I see it often since I'm making FP's for so many people, and that's sometimes our first clue that it's going to take hours to do a few days worth of FP's rather than 15-20 minutes.I've never seen a message that ALL Fastpasses were already distributed for ALL parks on a given day.
YES!Can he do Magical Express if arriving a few days later than the rest of us?
We aren't doing the CP but like I said, we'll be in EPCOT that night if this is what you decide to do!OR can catch Candlelight Processional at EPCOT
I was so far behind!! Glad to hear you're having a good trip even without a bed, which I can't wait to hear about

YES!

Can't wait to hear about another trip, as they are always awesome! So glad you liked Sprinkles. We love it too. I will be indulging at Via Napoli in 8 days. YAY!
Great updates!
Quick question - did you have problems with MDE while you were there? As in, your fastpasses or ADRs showing up? We'll be there next week, and every day seems like something else goes missing. So frustrating!! Today its half of our ADRs are missing...
In the meantime, I spent most of yesterday evening trying to arrange alternative plans for a tennis match that my team has tonight @angryduck71 will understand that. I'll be on a flight during the time a go/no-go decision is being made on if the match is to be played outdoors (unlikely...it's raining AGAIN here...it's like we were living in Seattle this year and not Maryland) or if they will move to indoor courts.
Worst part of captaining -- planning around rain.
Um.....ok WHAT?? I need to know about this! What if you were a party of more than 2???? Hospitality suites are supposed to have beds lol!we were "upgraded" to a Hospitality Suite...which had only a pull-out sofabed.
I really like Cabana Bay, despite EP not being included. I adore the theming and I think the rooms are cute.Checked in for Cabana Bay...
I honestly think this is my favorite thing at either Universal park!and finally caught the Monster Make-Up show which was fun!

Ah ok, that makes sense! I still find it weird that they'd book you in a room with no real bed, but for $99 a night, yeah. And you are correct that the hallways lead to bedrooms that are normally booked WITH the portion of the suite you had lolOn the top left of this photo is a hallway leading to a set of double entry doors and what I SUSPECT on the left side is a connecting bedroom. If you look to the right of this photo, beyond the kitchen, you'll see a single entry door...and on that far right wall is a closet and another connecting door...again suspect this is a bedroom as well. I am not sure though. I suspect they somehow "sold" the bedroom portions but as rooms and not the suite. This place was crazy big and the fold out mattress was comfortable enough...I actually made them show me the room first and FOLD OUT THE BED for me before I agreed to it. At $99/night for this room for two nights...it was hard to complain.
