A Dream for us.... But not from the "Dream Team"

DAY 1(Saturday, Nov. 1): We landed in Orlando at 11:30a.m. It was our first time to fly and we were all nervous but the flight was great and the weather was perfect for flying.

We found the Magical Express check-in desk and only had to wait about 10 minutes for our bus. We arrived at CBR by Magical Express at 12:20p.m. We went to check in and our room was ready. I had requested building 44 or 45 in Jamaica and had also let them know that we would be celebrating our boys birthdays while we were there when I made our reservations back in August. I had mailed snacks to CBR ahead of time and they had them waiting for us at the front desk at check-in. They placed us in Jamaica 45 in room 4555. It was perfect. We had a water view and the bridge crossing over the island was just outside of our window. We had a bunny towel animal waiting on us in our room. We had planned ahead of time to just spend the day at the resort and hit the parks on Sunday.

DAY 2: We spent the day in the parks and arrived back to our room about 9:30p.m. to find a spotless room and each of the boys had balloon bouquets and autographed pictures of Mike & Sulley from Monsters Inc. waiting on them. What a surprise!!

DAY 3: Another day at the parks to return to 3 new towel animals waiting for us and again the room was very clean.

We also we to the Hoop-Dee-Doo Review. The food was really good and the show was very entertaining. We were given a front row table by the piano.

DAY 4: Another day at the parks.... another clean room.

DAY 5: Our youngest woke up at 3:00a.m. with a tummy ache. Needlesss to say we were up for about 2 hours with him vomiting We slept late and had lunch at Le Cellier. This restaurant is a must!! We then decided to go to Animal Kingdom to see Festival of the Lion King. We had only been in the park for a few minutes when we were approached by 2 CM's. They asked us if we had been in the park very long and we said "no". They wanted to know if we had dinner plans or any other specific plans for the afternoon. We said that we didn't have any plans for the day except for seeing the Festival of the Lion King and taking a trip on the Safari. So, then they asked if we would be watching the parade, we said yes. Then we were asked if we would like V.I.P. seating. We said YES. The men then told us that we were the family of the day chosen to ride with Mickey on his float in the Jungle Jammin' Parade After seeing Lion King, we didn't think we would have time to see the Safari so we were going to get a Fastpass for it to ride it after the parade. The Fastpasses were all gone for the day. I asked a Safari CM how long it would take to ride it because we had to be at a certain spot at a certain time for the parade. He said it would be about 20 minutes. He checked his watch then personally escorted us down to the Safari truck, he put us directly on the truck and explained to the driver that she had to have us back by a certain time. She got us back on time and when we arrived back from the trip, the parade directers were waiting for us. They gave us our parade clothes and put us up on the float with Mickey!! they assigned us our own Photopass Photographer. I will have more photos when my CD comes in. It was awesome. We had so much fun!!! It is memories that will last a lifetime!!!

Our youngest son took this photo of himself during the parade. He wanted to see himself in a parade...To funny...

DAY 6: We took the day off and went to downtown Disney to DisneyQuest. The boys LOVED it!!!

A sky writer at DTD..

DAY 7: We went to the parks to ride our favorite rides before we headed home on Saturday morning.

Our room was perfect, the boys LOVED the pool, the resort is beautiful, everything was so quiet it was like we were the only ones in our building.

WE will DEFINITELY be staying at CBR again on our next trip to see Mickey!!!

We did not know her. I gave my 7 year old the camera during the parade and that is one of the many, many pictures that he took. He was so funny during the parade. He would take a pic of someone, then turn the camera around so they could see the screen on the back of the camera that he had taken their picture. Those are some of my favorite pictures from the trip!!!
