Good morning from the boardwalk! I added to my title because I'm SOOO happy to be here!!

I got here early, & got my run in around crescent lake. I LOVE that run and sorely needed it after ohana last night!
Then I grabbed a coffee and bagel at boardwalk joes & relaxed. My hubby is still at home on the phone with work. Ugh. Hope he gets here soon!

Now I'm at the pool. I know I'm going to sound like a dork, and should keep this to myself , but in all the times I've stayed here, I've always chickened out to go on the slide. The height bothers me. Today, I was Alone so I thought- ok. Let's do this! And I DID!! I'm so proud! :blush:

Btw- they are now distributing wristbands for the Luna pool! There is a recreational cm eking around checking room keys. They said this will STILL be a DVC hopping pool, but they are on a trial basis to decide if it will continue and if it will be like stormalong with wristbands. Just thought I'd share that so everyone in their party knows to have a key- not just mom! (if your family is like mine! :D)

Way to go, waterslide girl!! :D

I hope John got there soon... sounded like the perfect beginning to a lovely weekend. SOOOOO wish I was there to celebrate with you (and no, not just b/c you're at the BW, although that would be even nicer... :cloud9:) but we'll just have to celebrate in a few weeks w/ Julia.

I hope you're having the best day... enjoy the views for us!

From start to finish, what a wonderful day. Yay Christine - you beat the slide!

On this day, we were at Epcot from rope drop to close. From the date & time you posted, it looks like we saw the same Illuminations!

Jellyrolls looks like an absolute BLAST - I'm thinking maybe that should be an INTERCOT meeting place for LMNOP!

Sounds like you finished the night in style! :mickey:
