Did online checkin and sent a fax with TP got all our requests! I still stopped at checkin when we arrived just to make sure. She was able to confirm the section building and floor just not the room #. We also got the tub/shower combo DD can’t wait to get some bath bombs lol.
Our room was ready at 1:30pm very pleased.

Also met a fellow DIS’er @klmall on the bus to AK. I post on the photography boards and she recognized my DD and I. So fun to meet you Kathy :-)

So.......4 days into our trip I got food poisoning. It was unbelievably awful! Missed 1.5 days in the parks with my little guy but forced my husband to still take him to do things so he didn’t miss out. No reason to sit around a hotel room and watch mommy be sick! Best wishes and good health to all enjoying their trips this week!!

Im so sorry hope you’re feeling better.
 


Just back from our shortish 5 night trip. Crowds were steady but pretty manageable all week. We did the JBJB party Monday night after arriving about 1pm. Had an amazing day at AK Tuesday. We then had one of the emptiest MK EMM I have ever seen Wednesday morning and our kids did the Pirates League make over after that. Thursday was rope drop for Hollywood Studios. And Friday we finished off with an Epcot half day and Frozen 2 at AMC Disney Springs. (I got food poisoning last night as well after eating at the Polite Pig. Luckily it was the last night.)

We had a standard view villas at Boardwalk and we were at the VERY END of the hall facing HS, 1127. A LONG walk but the room was fine once we made it. Its at least a short walk to HS and the BWV bus stop when needed. Temperature was great all week. The week before or after T-day are still two of my favorite weeks to visit. Sadly with our oldest in proper school now this will the last time we can visit at that time.

Sounds like you had a great trip! We also had an extremely empty early morning at MK on Tuesday (not an EMH day!) I’m so sorry you also got food poisoning! I spoke to two other guests at my resort who also got it the week we were there. What on earth is going on? Hope you’re feeling better!

Its possible its a bug like Norovirus and people just think its food poising. I think in my case if was something I ate because I had one rough night and was relatively OK the next day. Weak and tired but I wasn't sick anymore.

Mine was the same. Sick one day and a 100.5 fever and then felt better, no fever, just weak and tired.

Oh no! That totally stinks. I am so sorry.
 
Is the terrace party “pick your own table” upon arriving or is it pre-determined where you will sit and the CM leads you to it?

We were taken to a table for two right on the rail. We checked in about 8:50 and I said to the young lady escorting us to our table “We’re here early. You’re going to give us a good table, right?” She said “Oh yes, you have a great table with a perfect view.” Didn’t look like there was a bad view from any table, though. We enjoyed the dessert party very much.

The CM put a reserved sign on the table and said we could leave and come back. Nobody could take that table at that point. It was ours.
 
Any other data nerds like me out there who want to continue your Disney mode? We had the free dining plan, so during the football game tonight I went through our receipts and added up the value of what we ate/drank to see how much of a value we got over and above the value of the free dining plan! Ha We were chained to our resort during main meal times due to our little one’s schedule, and then with me being sick and not eating for 2 days, we didn’t get as much value as we could’ve, but our total was about $150 over what the dining plan would’ve cost!
 
We got home Wed afternoon and Thanksgiving morning I woke up with a stomach bug or something. Had to cancel family coming over =(
No one else in my Disney group got sick. A child got sick on the plane & I handed them wipes & towels......maybe I got too close.
Feeling a little better today.

Oh no!! What a cruddy day to have a stomach bug! Glad you’re feeling a little better!
 
I definitely hit the wall today. Day 8 of theme parking and it was HOT today. I’m ready to go home tomorrow. We have a few hours in the MK to say a proper farewell since we won’t be back for a couple of years. It’s been a trip of ups and downs for sure. More ups than downs, though!

It’s bittersweet! I will miss it, but I am burnt out.

understand the bittersweet...….we only did 5 days, I don't think I could have done 8. Glad there was more ups than downs for you!! Have a safe trip home!!

I prefer the short ones now. This is our 3rd trip this year and the others were 4-5 days. I’m ready for a long break now lol.
 
We really had a great time!! We flew in Friday before Thanksgiving & home Wed.
It was fun to be with 2 adults that had never been before.....completely acting like kids again...LOL

Had a pixie dust moment.....in Epcot, PPO at Garden Grill so, right on to Soaring. Had FP for Frozen....even met Anna & Elsa in new outfits. As we walked around the countries, I kept trying for FP for 4 to ride TT.....was only able to get 2. So, when we arrived at the FP spot, I was explaining to the 2 riding FP where to meet up with us 2 going through single rider line....the CM asked what we were doing & let all 4 of us go in FP!!! So Nice!!!

We had great CMs the whole trip. Even saw a lot of guest doing nice things for others!! Even though it was very busy, only saw 2 bad interactions. 1 while we waited for the 2nd parade during party, we were sitting right at the CM that was blocking main street due to the before parade portion was going on......a lady in a scooter was mad because she couldn't drive down the street & the guy with her chewed the CM out saying "she can't see so, she'll probably run over people on the sidewalk"...........REALLY??? if she can't see, she shouldn't be driving that thing on a busy park night. WOW, some people.
Then our last night, leaving AK, our bus was about to leave & the driver saw us "trying" to run to get on.....so, he was nice enough to stop, lower the step to let us on. We thought there were no seats left so, standing holding on (2 of us 60 yr old). As the bus starts to leave, I notice 4 empty seats in the back (not together but, who cares)...….I was floored no one offered these seats....they were perfectly fine with us standing with empty seats. Just plain RUDE. I would never let anyone stand knowing I had an empty seat by me. I had to bite my lip because I'm pretty good about voicing my opinion when people are rude like this....LOL.
