Nice summary, thanks for sharing. Yep, Jersey week (and Jersey) sucks, I’ll say it, ha,
A bit perturbed I wasn’t told about a meet, particularly when it wasn’t just to see me…. Bah humbug.

A bit perturbed I wasn’t told about a meet, particularly when it wasn’t just to see me…. Bah humbug. Brian, this was not a real meet. This was literally "we're in MK and it's out last day, where are you? Oh, you're here, too? Where? OK, we'll meet you there." Really unplanned until the last minute as we were leaving while they were arriving.
Still, I should have thought to keep you in the loop, even with the fluid timing. Will not happen again.
Cheers.

Forgot to include this. The new Poly construction as seen from a second floor landing at a Poly building right at the fence. Very far along.
Cheers. |

Cheers. I like the building, if only it was at another location.
Sticks out like a sore thumb along the waterline.
Its come along way, yet still has almost a year left to go before opening.

Agree completely, although I had not thought about it until now. It is a nice building, but it doesn't fit that space between Poly and GF. Maybe the outer coating will be fitting, but I don't see how. I'm mostly looking forward to getting my proper walking trail back 
Cheers.

Not a real meet, just a happy alignment of paths. But I’ve been absent from here for a while, and been out of the loop. I will do better! On a happier note, I am poised to transition to a 4 day workweek after the new year… fingers crossed! I might actually have a life again! |

Probably it was just for putting up with me in general. I can’t remember the specifics. But probably putting up with me… And for being a good sport about stuff like this…  I love those shirts! And some day trips will overlap with a few others here. Always close but no cigar for us. Tim is a reaaally nice guy. That Mindy thought?  I love the shirts! How fun. Nice trip brp!

I keep thinking this will be as strange as BLT was. (Not that I saw it before…) But I look forward to being able to stay at poly too. |

Completely agree, but then again I wasn't real thrilled with BLT being a high-rise either. |

Ha, just rare I care enough about the parties involved to want to be included. In all seriousness, not to worry at all. Glad you enjoyed! |

Completely agree, but then again I wasn't real thrilled with BLT being a high-rise either. When BLT was built, I was not interested....I did not like the pics I saw and I did not like the price point. The July 4th week, year after opening, we were staying a week at Wilderness Lodge Villas (back before Boulder Creek). I left after day 4 to go back to work, Robin and Sarah stayed for the rest of the week. On Friday, I got a call from Robin, from the living room of the BLT Grand Villa. They had decided to take a tour of the resort and ended up doing a tour of the villas too. Anyway, the call was like this......
Tom, we are over here at Bay Lake Tower and doing a tour. We are in the Grand Villa, looking at Magic Kingdom. I love it! I love the rooms and the decor. The furniture and decor looks so much better in person. I said.....OK, I will call Nancy and have her send me over a contract. By the next morning, we were owners at Bay Lake Tower.
The same thing kinda happened at Riviera Resort.....We weren't buying, but then we stayed there over a long weekend. Now we own four contracts there......lol.
But this time I am serious, I am not buying at the new Poly Tower!

Really? I’m saving this post so that I can refer to it in early 2025…  |
