Have a wonderful trip!!
So cute! I love the little monorail one.We were even gifted with an adorable box of chocolates that had one with a picture of the Contemporary on it and three smaller chocolates.
Sometimes it's the simple, sweet moments that stay with you more than the big exciting onesEven though we were just sitting on our balcony, this dinner was one of my favorites
But wait! There's MORE!they were dropping off ANOTHER welcome dish with chocolates and chocolate covered strawberries!
Yay!!!The first being the purple spirit jersey so I could match Joy's!
Okay going to Poshmark like right now...if you didn't know you can find some real hidden gems there for Disney merch! Especially since a lot of people only use stuff once or twice!)
Jon is playing around with getting one! We have the Hero4 silver (I think?) and it's definitely showing its age.Dan had purchased the GoPro Hero 7 black right before our trip to get some cool hyperlapses of us walking through the park. (The stabilization on these cameras is AMAZING and the videos come out super cool!)
Ugh so weird! Glad you were able to brush it off!Anyway, I brushed the whole thing off pretty quickly but was just a weird way to start our night!
Efficiency, I love it.Tey didn’t use the method that DHS AHs had used but rather had three CMs working the booth - one handled drinks, one handled popcorn and one handled ice cream. It seemed to work pretty well!
Oh wow I didn't even think of how cool it would be to see her at night!but the dragon is my favorite part of Festival of Fantasy so it was cool to see at night!
DLP has one, which is one of 143 reasons why it is the Most Superior BTMRR Of All.Anyone else wish there was a ride photo for BTMRR?? I feel like they would be such great pictures!
DH was completely taken off guard that someone in the real world again knew who I was but was happy that we were all able to meet
OpeDH on the other hand was feeling the tiredness lol
Exactly!! DH makes a lot of comments on how nice rooms are and how he "wished we had time to you know actually enjoy them" so I'm glad you got plenty of time to enjoy your club level room!Plus, when you are paying more for a room it’s nice to actually enjoy the resorts amenities!
So cute! Did you use a tripod? Or is there a conveniently placed rock or something to set a camera on?I knew I wanted to recreate my parents old photo that they took on their honeymoon 30 years ago in 1989.
So cute! Where did you find it?Well not so fast, we did have time to get evidence of my Mickey themed outfit! haha
Boooo. Guess you could always look on Poshmark for a new oneMy cute purse broke after these pictures! But at least I’d already gotten my photos haha
Love it!We did stop for a photopass on our way out though, and ended up with the same CM from our AP pictures haha I think she remembered us!
No I think you're confused. You didn't get turn down service, you got turn AROUND service.Does anyone know why turndown service includes them putting the pillows the wrong way?
Getting caught up from while we were gone!

Okay I'll go now.
Have an amazing rest of your trip! It looks awesome so far.
Thanks for the Poshmark tip! When you started talking about her grabbing your bag, I immediately thought she was trying to steal it. That was definitely an odd situation and I'm glad you got out of it ok.
I so wanted to do a Villains event. I hope they do them again.
I have yet to try California Grill but I always read good things about it.
This would be me. Great idea. Sounds fun. Nah, forget it. Just want to enjoy the park.Dan was very pumped to be vlogging! I have to say, I was proud of how much he did film considering he wanted to "vlog" our anniversary trip last year and gave up about five minutes into the first day at Animal Kingdom! lol
I'd be a little bit put off by that as well. Not really the warm Disney welcome. You seem to get as good or better checking in at any old standard room at a value resort.While I LOVED staying Club Level, the whole checking in process/interaction felt a bit weird. Could have totally been me just being tired but I guess I was expecting someone super friendly and he just felt a bit cold (especially when he didn't remember us from a few minutes prior). After a brief tour of the club, we were left on our own and it was finally time to start our vacation!
Seems like vlogging would be perfect... you meet, he videos!DH isn’t the biggest fan of meet and greets but with him wanting to vlog I told him character interactions would make for some good content! (I mean anything to convince him to do it with me!)
I just don't wear sneakers either. I've bought some shoes that I pretty much just wear at Disney World for that very reason.(Anyone have any tips on ways to prevent that? I never wear sneakers so I don’t have that problem in Disney!)
Well, I guess that might make up for some of the lackluster welcome when you arrived?While we were enjoying our dinner, we heard a knock at our door and were completely shocked that they were dropping off ANOTHER welcome dish with chocolates and chocolate covered strawberries!
I've never really gotten into vlogs. I spend enough time just reading TRs here, and I can only imagine how much time I'd lose to that rabbit hole once I'd start watching a few. That said, I totally agree. If someone does it and does it well, I don't have a problem with them getting perks, but it definitely does make for a bad taste in the mouth when you see written reviews or vlogs of an event and their experience doesn't line up with what is typical.Like I said, I love watching Disney vlogs and you know when they get invited they all will be swayed somewhat but I just don’t get the whole VIP thing when that’s not actually how the night would be for a normal person. Okay, I’m off my soapbox! Lol
Oh hell no! You handled that better than I would have. If anyone was rude it was them! Sounds like somebody tried to get into your bag and got caught so they tried to deflect.Well, on our way up Main Street, I felt someone grabbing my backpack up and off of my back. I turned around and this woman was still holding my bag saying how she loves it. And I get it, it was villain themed and it was the night of Villains after hours but there are ways to tell someone you love something they have or are wearing. Grabbing them is not one of them. (I was complimented by a very lovely woman the next night about my outfit who from about ten feet away was able to convey the same message, without touching me!)
Looks like a lot of fun! Thanks for the nice review!Overall, I would DEFINITELY recommend the Villains After Hours
I can relate to that... well, not the working at Disney part, but the no sleep part.I thought I might be exhausted after being up until 2 the night (or morning) before and then up again at 8:30 but something about being in Disney made me feel just fine! (Maybe I’m just used to no sleep in Disney! LOL)
Great idea!!!!After we finished lunch, we explored the shops and then decided to go walk around outside and take some pictures. I knew I wanted to recreate my parents old photo that they took on their honeymoon 30 years ago in 1989.
This is just a sad joke compared to Carsland. It's not bad, but it is just something that is clearly an afterthought.Definitely a cool vantage point to Tower of Terror from the area but overall, as a solution to bring Cars to DHS it felt a bit lackluster. I cannot WAIT to see Carsland in DCA in November!
I love me some Toy Story Mania, especially because Dan is truly terrible at it (and he’s the gamer!)

All caught up!
But I’m pretty sure your back from your next trip already!!
Can’t beat that work day! It’s great when a job offers some flexibility on where you can work from!
Omg what did you do when your bag broke? Did you carry it like a clutch? This is stressing me out! You seemed to have decent FP luck and a good day at HS!
Cali grill looked amazing!! I’ve never done the dining plan but I think people feel like they need to get everything but probably don’t?!?
Great trip report. Wow, I can't believe that women grabbed your backpack! Oh, no, its too bad about your cute Mickey Purse breaking!
