Thanks mind and Future Guy! The dessert party is something I believe they were trying out for this year, and from the little pamphlet they had, seems like it might be permanent. It started this summer and it's during Wishes, you get special seating at the Noodle Terrace and in the center of the terrace are all of the desserts! It's roped off and they make you feel special! 8-) They have your name on a table, so it's assigned seating. I would highly recommend this!

We had read bad reports on Cincerella's Castle and we were pleasantly surprised! Yes, the check in is a bit crowded, but they have it very organized. The food was excellent and we did not feel rushed. It's great for a special occaison or just because! From what I understand though, you need to make ADR's for this the moment your 90 day window arrives! They also make you pre-pay on this one.

Great little synopsis of your trip. That picture of your view is very saddening and brought a tear to my eye. Those balconies on the second floor are from our rooms that we stayed in when we were there in 2008 and the far corner on the second floor is where our rooms were this past July :( I am happy that you were able to experience the pool complex. I personally never get tired of that sand bottom and water slide. That is really cool that you got to meet a fellow subsonic member at Disney. I ended up coming close to meeting a subsonic member in person in 2008 during the DHS July 4th fireworks. We were literally 10-15 feet away.

BTW: Did skip AK? I heard they have a really cool tree park.

Unfortunately we skipped AK and Downtown. We wanted to do a lot of the stuff we missed or felt rushed on in May. Also, we wanted to take our time and absorb in as much of the magic as possible. We did take a day and a half, out of the trip, to enjoy the Yacht Club :D

Good report, Boilerbabe! Thanks for the kind words about us. We feel the same way about y'all.
In reading through your narrative, it sounds like there were several occasions where we may have actually been in the same area and didn't even know it! I'll know better once we sit down to put our report together. Might be a little while, though, because I'm waiting for a CD with pictures from a professional photographer I hired. I'll explain all of that in our report.

Stay tuned!

Mousekedude, the foreshadowing is killing me with anticipation, dude! I'll soon start chanting while banging silverware on the table, "Trip Report! Trip Report! Trip Report!" :wink:

No, boilerbabe, procrastination is the domain of us guys, not gals. That's why so many women are forced to start many sentences with "When are you going to...?" :wink:

Yeh, I knew that, boilerbabe - Boilerdude is a guy! Guys love to procrastinate! Look at the law profession: for centuries, guys ran the legal system and what did we get - continuances, delays, etc. Why do today what you won't do tomorrow? :wink:
