I am in the middle of some planning for an upcoming trip. A few things are starting to be pulled together. I have the pleasure of sharing time and space with some close friends and family. Looks like a large pajama party at the moment. I want to do some things for gifts or surprises for my roomies. Need time to get things done, but also need a couple trips to WDW. I need to see if I can find some glasses that I had seen there once. Another idea might be a little more costly, but worth it I think. That one I need to include a couple others that aren't staying with me for.
I realized something else about all of this today too. Jen and I had planned a trip in October last year for some group activities. This was noted in the thread she had started. We were going to use DVC points and have a 2 or 3 bedroom and get the gang together. She wanted to do a tour or two and also go out on a fireworks cruise. Now, she was thinking smaller scale (or price?) with the pontoon boat vs the Grand 1. She was hoping for a stay at Disney Animal Kingdom Lodge.... and that is where we currently are. Though she also hoped for Bay Lake Tower. I am hoping for a change of view at DAK or else trying for BLT lake view or non view.
I need to make some lists. Lists are good. Hmmm I see another blog to write about!!! See you again soon with that one!!!

The Grand 1 Yacht
I have always wanted to take a cruise on the Grand 1 yacht. The yacht has changed a couple of times over the years and the current one allows you to have 18 people on board. It is incredible and expensive.
I still want to do this for a date, and I will one day... but I have been on it for another wonderful reason. I rented it to celebrate a friend's birthday and her wedding. She and her husband have been married for 9 months at the time, and because she gave up her Disney wedding (for the right reason), I wanted her to have something special. She and I worked together in getting the cake picked, and discussing some of the details.
We had assistance through the Grand Floridian in getting everything together. Pat was wonderful. We decided not to have a butler, which it is optional. The Captain was great. He made sure that we had great view of the fireworks (Hallowishes) and we cruised around the 7 Seas Lagoon and Bay Lake.
The Grand 1 has been used for parties, romantic dinners, engagements, celebrations like anniversaries, a private taxi to go to and from different places around the Seas. Now, I do not recommend the private taxi myself, but if you have the money to blow on that, that is your choice.
