The smell from Cape May Buffet just makes me hungry!

@TeenaS We live in Maryland so we cannot bring you a Jersey tomato. But we can bring you some of our home grown tomatoes when we check in on 8/2.

Hello from Anne Arundel county! Our "Maryland" tomatoes this year have been outstanding. Glad you may bring some to Teena, don't think we will still have any at the end of August when we go to BC.

Hello from another Anne Arundel County dweller here!

I live in the Gambrills/Crofton area. My boys (now graduated) went to Mount St. Jo

Wow - so many of us! I live in Prince Georges County, but work in Anne Arundel. Sorry to say that after a couple of attempts, I gave up trying to grow a garden. I prefer Tastykakes anyway.

izzylovesmickey: That sounds like such fun!!!

Hello! Been a while since I have checked in here. Lots going on in life.

Since we stayed at BCV in January and it was so cold and rainy and the slide was down for yearly repairs and didn't get to enjoy Stormalong Bay, I have us booked in a Lagoon/Pool view at YC from 09/13 - 09/16 before we head over to WL.

This was a surprise for DH who really really really wants to go down the slide.
And since he has been in Afghanistan since March and returns home on Aug 15 I thought he deserved that fun

oh man. I was just reading over on the restaurant board. Folks were talking about Cape May Cafe and then said it made the beach club lobby smell like old seafood/fish smell. I am looking forward to to the light beachy smell you guys have mentioned! I don't want to walk into a wall of old crab leg smell! Am I being crazy for being concerned?

I hate that fishy smell. Honestly, I find it awful to be in the BC lobby and the corridor towards the YC in the evenings. Not only was it crowded with people waiting to be seated, but it had a terrible seafood smell. If you don't mind seafood it probably isn't nearly as noticeable. This is one of the reasons that I personally prefer the YC to the BC. YMMV

I never noticed this smell!! Though now that I think about it, I may never have passed by that way at dinner time.....

Been in BC, morning, afternoons and evening. Been in Cape May, walked past Cape May, and have stood outside Cape May. Why didn't I notice this odor? Guess I'm one of the lucky ones in this matter, or unlucky ones as I love the smell of seafood that has been properly prepared and ready to eat. Guess that's why I always visit Legal Seafood when I'm up in Boston for work. I will make a point of checking this issue out again in December and let you know what I find.

Thank you to you and your husband for your sacrafice for us. You deserve all the fun you can get when you are at the World. Hope it is a great vacation.

Just put a deposit down to rent BC villa for DD 3's first trip to Disney. So excited. We have only stayed at Swan as a couple and I stayed at POR as a kid. I have always eyed the BC pool. Tell me what we must do at this resort with our DD especially since out of our six days only two will be at the parks!

Here are some pictures from our recent BC stay - we were upgraded to a 1 bedroom suite - 3501 - and had an amazing stay! View attachment 111603View attachment 111604 View attachment 111605View attachment 111606

Forgot to mention our good luck yesterday. We did the pick a pearl in Japan. I really wanted earrings so got 2 for me and 1 for my daughter. DD picked first and she got 2 in one! Then I had my first one opened and I got a blue one! Second one was white so no earrings for me but got a gorgeous ring instead!

I want to go back to BC!!! Don't like the room that well, there is a really LOUD humming noise every time the AC kicks on and if we sit on the balcony our knees almost hit the sliding door (it's face the door or scrape our knees on the stone wall). Can't change, no other rooms available. Oh well, we're only here 2 nights then vacation is over. Just disappointing because I wanted to like it. Oh, and the cms are not as friendly, don't greet you as much etc. Must be me!

If you go to the local orchards here in Clermont, you can get real Florida oranges.

WAWA .... it's sort of like a 7-Eleven but way way better. WAWA is a store where if you were northeasters, you grew up getting their hoagies (otherwise known as subs) and coffee. They make the best hoagies ever. They put Subway to shame. Apparently the owner retired to Florida a few years ago and started putting them up all over Florida. When the first sign appeared in Clermont that a WAWA was coming, there was a huge party ... people were talking about nothing else. Bob goes every morning for their breakfast sandwich and coffee. I go at least twice a week for their soft pretzels and hoagies. Jeanne finds a reason to take the car out at least every other day for their spinach salad and soft pretzels. There are a few near Disney now too!! And their gas is always the cheapest around.

My hubby is an ex WaWa corporate employee...the owner did not retire to FL...but the rest is true.hehe! My hubby worked on the project that put the touch screen ordering screens in at the Deli. You can thank him for the options " little bit of oil and little bit of vinegar".

Thank you everyone.
DH is a Navy veteran but couldn't reenlist because of his service disabilities.
He is over there working with the Army as a contractor, but is part of Task Force ODIN.
Definitely proud of him. Just because he's 'not in uniform' any longer doesn't mean that he's not in danger while there.
Coming to Disney is a real treat for him, and while he wasn't a huge Disney fan when we started going together, when we talk on Skype and he says "I can't wait until I am home and we go to Disney" it makes me happy when I can surprise him with something like a stay at the YC

Yep, had one yesterday with a little bit of oil and a little bit of vinegar!!! Love, love, love WAWA!

I couldn't stand the smell of Ohana at breakfast, but we have breakfast at Cape May every trip and I never notice a seafood smell.

We have WAWAs here and have never tried their hoagies. We always go to Subway. I think we will need to try WAWA when we return from Disney.

Must look for these stores!!

I grew up in Prince Georges County and live in Calvert County now. I still work in Prince Georges County and we shop in Annapolis a lot. What a small world.

It really was a lot of fun. There were 30 people and we had 3 cast members to follow. We started with MK. You start with the rides at the back of the park after meeting at Tomorrowland Terrace. You place your lunch order after check in. So we started with Splash, then Big Thunder, Haunted Mansion, 7 Dwarfs, had a rest room break, then Space. Also rode Buzz. We went in the fast pass lines and barely waited at all. Went out a back exit by Buzz then over to HS. Ate lunch at HBD. It is a limited menu. It was good, but not a repeat for us. After that we rode Toy Story, Star Tours, RRC then TT. Went in and out an exit by RRC. Over to AKL. Went in by Dinosaur, rode Everest 2 times then Dinosaur. DINOSAUR was our longest wait and that was maybe 10 minutes. They gave us a choice of staying there or going back to MK. Back to MK got us back in by Buzz. They use a van to move between the parks. They provide water, frozen towels and hard candy in the vans. We had a group that was a lot of fun and would do it again if we had the extra money. We currently have annual passes so we didn't have to buy park hopper tickets and we got a discount on the tour.

I could definitely handle touring like that. I would love skipping gates. Thanks for sharing!
