ha, ha, ha. I always finish them before the next trip ~ it's the goal I make for myself so you might want to change that bet misterwewantsdaredhead wrote:Booooo for the rough start...yayyyyy for the TR.
Has anyone updated the pool on how long it will take to finish this one?
I think I have, "This one wont be finished before Amy takes another trip" don't I?
Love ya Sis!
More, more!!
Ahem... Um, I think the evidence will show that you did, indeed, complete your trip to Disneyland with Figment and your brother before you completed your prior WDW trip report.Amy wrote:ha, ha, ha. I always finish them before the next trip ~ ...wewantsdaredhead wrote:...

The room we stayed in that first night did have two beds, it just didn't have the accessible shower. And from what the CM told me, they had searched all the way up through the Grand Floridian so I do believe they were really trying. Too bad they didn't find one there ~ that would have been a real treat!Len90 wrote:Wow that sounds like a rough start to the vacation. Was the hotel looking throughout the entire property for a room? Even if they couldn't find the accessible room they still were unable to accommodate you temporarily in a room with two beds?
The parks were really crowded when we were there. I should remember to take more pictures of the crowds to show that, but I generally shy away from them as much as possible And it certainly wasn't as bad as summer/Fourth of July/New Year's Eve levels, but not as good as I remember it being the first week or so of December either.cy1229 wrote:I gasped at the crowds at the entrance! I really don't like lots of people... but it looked like it wasn't too bad once you were inside. Loved your "lion feet" pic.
The construction for the seats for the nighttime show in front of EE makes me sad. That was one of my favorite "photo spots" or at least "mostly scenic" spots. The seating area kind of ruins it for me now. I suppose it was the only place they had to build it but still. Bummer.
Explain what you mean about the guest assistance pass. It sounded to me like it wouldn't get you anywhere at all. And, also, why would Figment be unable to board Soarin? Is there something I'm missing that should be glaringly obvious to me? I'm so confuzzled...
Ok, the visual of your assist device made me laugh!cy1229 wrote:Ugh protein spills.... my downfall. It's the one thing that I as a mom am a huge failure in. I can't tolerate the sound, the smell, the sight. I always worry that someone near me on a plane will end up upchucking if we run into turbulence. Because if they upchuck, I upchuck, and since I've had two babies... well the moms on here will know exactly what my worry is.
I knew your mom had trouble walking (hence the ECV) but I didn't realize the major PITA it can be to get to some of these places. Totally forgot about needing an elevator to get to Soarin. And the switchbacks make sense... some of those attractions were built before the ADA. We need to come up with a combo ECV and Segway vehicle that has a handle on it for the rider's companion to steady it. Figment sits and holds the handle, you help steer and keep her from falling off.
Actually now that I imagine such a thing in my mind, it would be more like those little ride-on toys that toddlers use with handles in the back, and not be dignified at all.
Ok... carry on. As you were... sorry for my rambling.
Next day?
Yup, it was nice to get an upgrade ~ first one we've ever had. I always read and hear from people how they are always getting upgrades. Maybe that just doesn't ever happen when you stay at the value resorts.ImagineerWannabe wrote:I hadn't noticed you'd started your report with pictures. Such lovely ones from the airplane on arrival! So you got an upgrade to Port Orleans? I'm glad they finally got the room straightened out for you.
A great read! Looking forward to more
