Just back from my first stay at BC, visiting my CM DD. As I waited for DD to arrive, I MET TEENA! What a lovely woman! I felt a little awkward saying I'd heard about her (lol) but we ended up chatting for about 15 minutes! I explained that since my DD had moved to work for Disney in August, I had been to visit every month! (I have a VERY patient and understanding hubby! He came when we moved her and again Christmas week, but the other visits I've been solo!) We talked about moving to Florida once DH retires and Teena totally agreed that I should come visit as often as I can. She said she will miss Florida dearly, but since her husband passed away, she feels she needs to be near her DD and DGD. I really loved having the time to speak with her.
Our room was beautiful - fourth floor, full balcony, (requested with online checkin), view of the volleyball court & lake. Really liked the room, but I wish the coffee makers were nicer. DD and I drink tea every night and it was hard to fill the water reservoir. We ended up just buying a cup each on our way back to the room at night. The beds were so comfy. We ended up sleeping in a few mornings because we had some late nights. It was heavenly!
I must admit, I prefer the Yacht Club. Beach Club just seemed too out of the way, especially to get to the Friendship Boats. I also was surprised that the boats stopped running even with restaurants still seating at the Boardwalk. We expected to walk back from JellyRolls, but not from the Italian restaurant when there were still people coming in for dinner. Oh well.
The weather was nice enough to swim only on two days, but we had other plans those days. lol I really wanted a few hours at the hot tub, but it didn't work out this trip.
We ate lunch at Beaches & Cream - our first time ever, which is funny, since we are regular visitors! With all the hype, I expected to like it more.
Our favorites this trip were Afternoon Tea at the Grand Floridian, dinner at Narcoosee's with DD's friend since they have been 3 years old!, drinks with a good CM friend, dinner with two very dear to our hearts CM friends. I drove DD around to various stores and her apartment - my first time driving in Florida. I feel like an old pro now! Started to really learn my way around! We also had a lot of fun at JellyRolls! Such talent!
I was lucky to leave 30 inches of snow to visit my girl, and then my sweet DH was waiting for me when I was landed at 1 am, after a 2 hour delay!
Now on to Planning my next visit to see DD.....
for entertainment out there?
