Hot, humid fun in the sun......Uh.....No.....

Monday - August 18th - We sleep in again today, it's pouring. We pretty much hang out at the resort, watch a movie, get breakfast at Roaring Forks. We road to Epcot, but got on a bus after hanging in the rain, to the AKL. We have dinner at Boma tonight. We have some interesting foods, the ribs were gone. They don't have them anymore. So we were told. We catch a bus back to MK and walk to the boat. The rain was holding off a bit, as we walked back to the resort, their were a bunch (http://entertainment.webshots.com/photo/2512468390042804337DtDUjA) of bunnies (http://entertainment.webshots.com/photo/2346294080042804337gcsaiF) getting some dinner of their own. I got these nice shots (http://entertainment.webshots.com/photo/2160417510042804337DJlujq)of the lodge (http://entertainment.webshots.com/photo/2739628580042804337kbtunh)too.

We get a couple movies and watch some olympic coverage again, and go to bed. Keara has been sleeping better with the tylenol and benadryl. She seems to be feeling better, but I don't want to take the chance of her getting sicker.

Next up.........Will Fay hold off so we can be the Flag Family?

NOPE!!

Tuesday - August 19th - Today we are to be the flag family, but it is windy and rainy. The club level conceirge calls me and says the ceremony has been cancelled. They offer us a free continental breakfast on the club level and that I can come back any day after 9am to get some pictures from the top of the resort, that is, if the weather cooperates.

The DVC van picked us up at 1010 for our meeting with our guide, Glen Wilson. We are looking at adding on to our current contract at SSR. He takes us for a tour of the new AKV rooms at SSR. They are beautiful. I didn't get a chance to take pictures. I'm not sure why, but they were cool.

I won't bore you with the details, but you can read this thread (http://www.intercot.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=140974)to see what we did.

So we hang out in the resort again today, looking around, having fun, get some food and then return to the room and watch tv. I called dining today to see if WCC had any openings. The CM told me that everyone was doing the same thing, staying in their hotels tonight. We got some great shots of the sun (http://entertainment.webshots.com/photo/2870730570042804337MzwGmU) trying to break through the clouds (http://entertainment.webshots.com/photo/2143585700042804337QAsTBC). Keara is having fun, but she is sick of being cooped up. She wants to go (http://entertainment.webshots.com/photo/2493897590042804337auSkHr). We wander the halls and find some hidden mickey's (http://entertainment.webshots.com/photo/2118300380042804337mkfBRJ). And some on the wall (http://entertainment.webshots.com/photo/2614965980042804337ZcfRAo), and some on the floor (http://entertainment.webshots.com/photo/2669762160042804337FKsBjd). Keara (http://entertainment.webshots.com/photo/2335195830042804337ntKCCj) is ready for some dinner, we are heading for WCC, but it's already 9pm. She is getting cranked again. This is with medicine on board. So Katy and Keara go back to the store, borrow a movie. Ben and I are seated and I order food for Katy to take back to the room. We eat, return to the room and crash. I'm so sick and tired of the rain.

Next up........nothing!

I guess you guys didn't come back with suntans? At least you seem to be making the best of what you were dealt :) Glad you were able to get a nice meal, hope Keara is all the way better tomorrow!

I'm sorry you missed out on the being the Flag Family, that the weather was so uncooperative, and that Keara wasn't completely well. Bummer!

We called around with all of the rain too, wanting to stay close to the resort for dinner. We had no luck and ventured to Epcot and such and it was ridiculous. We pretty much swam to our ADR's.

Sorry you missed out on the Flag Family. I was excited for you when you told me about it - had it been when we were still there, I would have tried to crash it!

That stinks about being flag family!

But with that great deal with the DVC you'll get to experience so much more Disney.

Thanks for sharing another great report!

The weather is certainly not cooperating with you! We saw bunnies out and about the Wilderness Lodge grounds as well!

Glad Keara is feeling better!
