Love the resort pics! Such a beautiful resort. Sorry the pool was initially closed, but glad it opened soon after! Never having been on the slide at CSR, I have nothing to compare the CBR slide to, but I'm glad it didn't disappoint too much.
We had a blast once the pool did open, so we quickly forgot about the closure. No worries. Just clean out the cra- um, I mean, get the chemical levels right and let us know when we can swim!
The busses seem okay so far! Hope that continues.
Stay tuned for Day 2.
Prime Time cafe looks really fun, but we have yet to eat there. Jason and I used to work at a restaurant very much like that one, so it's not high on our list since we've "been there, done that," but I think our kids would like it. We had to dance too, at ours.
It was our first time there, and it was a lot of fun. Surprisingly great food, too. We've ignored this place for years, but it may be a new "hidden" gem for us. I love restaurants with gimmicks!
So does Dylan eat now? He must. He's huge! He looks like an adult! And though they may get annoying, I enjoyed the idiot face. We get a lot of that in our house and we've learned just to accept it, as long as we get a decent pic once in a while.
He eats on and off, but really not enough to warrant his size. He's sustained himself for the past 5 years on peanut butter.
There are diminishing returns on the comedic value of the faces.
2 rides on Star Wars! Awesome! We just started watching Star Wars with our girls and they are loving it, so the ride will be that much better for them this year!
Kristin and Emily both want to see the Star Wars films now, but balked at joining in on Dylan's and my plan to watch all six in a single day this Fall.
I love the Murphy bed. So cool! Too bad Emily was scared, but lucky for Dylan!
And lucky for me! Dylan tends to sleep diagonally.
Great report, so far. LOL at Caribbean El Centro.
No better way to describe that place, IMO
What a great day!! I don't do ToT...but I'm thinking of walking through the queue this time just to see it since everyone raves about that. Glad you finally got luggage! Your dinner looked awesome...though a ton of food!
I like the queue and theatric build up on the actual ride of ToT more than the drops. Not that I mind the drops, but they don't really do a lot for me, except for the few times I was able to spot the ghost family, who are very hard to see in the dark.
I was a bit nervous about the luggage, after the gate switches at the airport, but it all worked out.
I know what you mean when you say it feels like you were just there yet if feels like forever since you’ve been there. That’s how we feel every time we go to Disney.
It's almost surreal. I feel "at home", but it's still a very stark contrast to our actual, non-Disney home.
CBR looks beautiful! Great pictures.
Thanks! It was stunning. Like Coronado, I was put into a good mood just by walking outside!
Wow lots of “glitches” so far …. plane, luggage, pool, wi-fi, Star Tours …. at least they were short-lived!
You forgot the "ugly" water view room
Yep, very minor, for the most part. Let's hope they stay that way!
Emily now with shades and attitude. Ha! I remember those days. What am I saying? My Emily will be 18 next month and we still have some of those days! (By the way, she leaves for Europe on Monday and I’m starting to freak out a little bit!
)
We have friends whose son just got back from Europe. It was a great opportunity for him, and everything went well!
I’ve heard the fried chicken and pot roast at Prime Time are really good. We’ve never eaten there. We were supposed to eat there in 2011 because my MIL was traveling with us and she wanted to try it. Well, she & Steve got a stomach bug so we missed a lot of meals that trip. Hmmmm…..we are going to DHS on our departure day (yes, we’ll have that hanging over us-boo!) maybe I’ll see if we can grab a lunch ADR. Oh, and Emily’s still sticking to mac & cheese, huh?
Not to give too much away, but Emily getting mac & cheese was NOT an isolated incident.
Another thing I left out was that we paid out-of-pocket for that meal, since our existing ADRs already covered all of our
DDP credits. It was expensive, since it's a Disney restaurant, but not horrible. Certainly one of the cheaper ones of the trip. Maybe because I passed on getting a beer?
I'm really glad you guys are liking CBR. I totally understand favorites, as the bf is in love with CSR as well!! I think he's really just in love with Rix Lounge
Plenty of alcohol on just about all Disney properties, so that shouldn't be an obstacle
It was a lot of fun trying something new, and we really grew to love this resort. Wi-fi was better at CSR, though.
Ugh your pictures of 50's Prime Time Cafe make me sooooooo hungry!!! I absolutely LOVE that restaurant! I love all of the pics so far, keep 'em coming!
The chicken and pot roast were fantastic, the meatloaf was really good, and the potatoes were absolutly amazing. That's not even getting into the PB&J milkshakes! Surprisingly good food, and a really fun place to eat!
