Happy early B-day! I’m scheduled to hit 40 in a couple of months myself, but I might change my mind and stay 39 for a few more years. Then again, it’s just a number.

4/23 - 4/30 or 5/1.
I will hopefully decide today!
I’m thinking of pushing it back a year so I can have the blowout trip I was originally planning!

Umm, we decided 5 nights at BWV at the end of July 
The points have to be used by the end of July, so we decided to just do a short trip and hope more is open by then. We will celebrate my 40th in March 2022 when we celebrate my son’s 10th.

I love Boardwalk too! We stayed there last year the first week of December and really enjoyed it. I told my boys that we would stay at YC/BC on our next trip so they could experience Stormalong Bay, but we’ll save that for my son’s 10th I guess.

We enjoyed that Stormalong Bay much; the slide is amazing! You’ll enjoy it.

I asked in one of the shops at GF if they had pin trading and the CM quietly let me know that they didn’t do that there. 
It made me feel a little déclassé for asking. So I know what you mean! But I would still stay there if I had the chance.

This made me laugh! I’m the type of person who wishes I could wear a t-shirt shorts when I eat at a nice restaurant. I mean, I have my limits too, but I’m not a fan of enforcing some kind of arbitrary standard of classiness.

Maybe it’s a temporary thing or a recent change because I know at one point there was a pin trading board at the gift shop at the GF.

Could have been due to Covid-19 but they were trading at the Poly and CR.

We had a sleeper sofa at OKW in 2008 that my grandson - 5’9", maybe 175#, said was comfy. No center bar under his back. I don’t know what the sleeper sofa at GF would be like.
The pull down single, Murphy type bed was very comfy for my grandniece at 14, 5’2", slender build - that is to say we had no idea of her weight. She was wearing junior’s size 3, maybe 5. So a petite adult might like it. My grandniece loved it.
Btw, the living room couch in Saratoga Springs swings out to allow a Murphy bed to pivot down from the wall. I slept on this for a week and found it very comfortable. This could be all the beds.

oh dear… that is kinda’ sad but I agree w/ others that C-19 might be an influencer there??? I bet some of the NBA players would dig some pin trading?!

I know people with 8 figure net worths that dig pin trading. Whether or not one would consider them classy is up for debate though!!

I’ve stayed at GF twice and both times thought my myself … why am I paying Four Seasons prices for this??? GF is nice, but far from a Four Seasons level and I can’t justify that price increase over CR (especially when going with young kids who don’t care about the ambiance). The new walkway is nice, but I still prefer CR given the price difference (both of course are expensive, but GF much moreso). Also, I agree with you about the CR negatives, but when staying at CR, I feel that we are paying for the convenience to MK and that has a lot of value.
