We are spending our first night at All Star Music since we came a day early. The Cabins were unavailable for a Passholder discount for tonight. First observations. The sofa bed when we opened it had a washer and screw pop out while we unfolded it. Went to the bedroom to call and inform housekeeping. Phone was dead. Checked the phone cord. It was cut. Went to the other phone now and called to inform them about the sofa and the phone. :confused:

The bathrooms and kitchenette area look clean.

Loads of Brazilians. Went to get an early dinner just before 5. Got here at 4. The food court was empty. Went to order. Turned around and boom, like magic, there was a teenage Brazilian tour group behind us. :jawdrop:Timing is everything.
Got pizza for kids. I had a veggie burger. )shocker.) Dh had a chicken caesar salad. All was good.

These are the BEST places ever when you want to get your comforter or other large bedding washed!!



They just had the parking lot redone a couple weeks ago. My money is on a bad installation. We didn't have these issues last year with the old pavement.

We have a number of schools here in the Raleigh, NC area that are year round. They don't put anymore days in than the 9 month schools, but, they are operating all year long. They have many mini vacations during the school year.

Pics of resort and room. Actually waiting for a new sofa bed to be delivered. Put 2 kids in bedroom to sleep. 2 are on a pull out chair and cot disguised as an ottoman. Dh and I will take the sofa bed when it comes. It sucks because we have been up since 1:30 this morning and are exhausted.

They're really going to hate me today, it's going to be wonderful out today and they can't meet me at the pool until their rooms are clean

Sounds fair to me.
When I was a kiddo there were certain things we were expected to do, as well there should have been. If we didn't attend to those things we lost privileges. And so it went with our kiddos.
The kiddos learn responsibility and the household runs much smoother.
Plus, let's face it, it's not like cleaning your room, taking out the trash, etc., involves any kinda' rocket science...! ;)

Yes, along with the Snapchats, DD has texted us lots of pics of the whole trip.
I know for sure they did a canal tour, went to at least one art/history museum, and took a quick spin through the red light district (which is apparently right next to the oldest church in Amsterdam), just to say they had.
A few pics...! :)

How does that even HAPPEN?? It doesn't say whether or not they did anything about it...I mean, yes, they called the paramedics and she was taken to the hospital, but did she get any sort of compensation? I would hope the medical expenses would be paid for her, and that she didn't have to pay for at least her meal if not the entire stay. That's a pretty serious thing that completely ruins the vacation.

It seems that is why she's suing.
Because if you read the bottom of the article.. it seems the staff blamed her and said it was not a big deal o_o

Okay. So it was 10:05pm. Dh fell asleep on a chair in the bedroom. Two kids in the bed in the bedroom. Two others in the beds in the living area. I decided to stay up and wait for the sofa bed. I had called between 8:30 and 9:00 and was told that one was coming. When I called after 10, the guy answering the phone said that they thought I wanted a room change. I said no. I was told that we were just getting a sofa bed delivered. He got a supervisor who came on the line and said that the furniture guys had already left for the day and that they had called us to get us a new room. Turns out they called our house number and not the cell number I gave at online check in. She offered to still change rooms for us and I said that 5/6 of us were asleep. I also informed her about the call the previous hour where I was assured a sofa was coming. In the end we received a $100 credit on our account and a roll away, which I am waiting for now. I just feel like opening the sofa bed and sleeping on it. Too tired for emoji placement. Feel free to add where necessary.

I found the attitude of the employees more worrisome.

I am not a fan of the trend to blame the consumer. I've seen all sorts of things lit tableside. Yeah it is dramatic but I Always thought it was an accident waiting to happen.

*pixie dust* We had a very similar issue at the Contemporary with the day bed. Late at night, pulled down spread for the kid and there was no bedding, none whatsoever. Over an hour waiting for housekeeping that never came. Went to front desk and they couldn't get anyone in housekeeping to answer. Offered to switch rooms...you're so tired and pack up and move????

Sorry. Hope you get some sleep. Good day tomorrow!

@betty rose - your post- question

Beans of any kind are my favorite. I would live on them, wait I almost do. I make bean salad, baked beans, white beans with bacon, red beans...just as they are. Green beans with bacon and onion. Bean soup, and so on. I do put baking soda in each dish, helps with the burping or other sounds!

I never heard of that 'cure' before. How much baking soda do you add?

I wonder, would there be a real car like this?
The car looks a lot like a Minocooper or a Nissan Micra.

I have no doubts Disney will try for this clone of Uber and Lift, I have my doubts they will pull it off. They can't keep a bus on schedule let alone $20 private transportation. My gut is if they want to move past the test stage with their own CMs they will turn it over to Mears that handles the Taxi service at their hotels and the Disney Magical Express.
