My wife and I flew out of Indianapolis on ATA early Sunday Morning 10/10/04. The flight went quickly as we befriended a gentleman and enjoyed a nice 2 hour conversation. We rented with Dollar and were upgraded to a Grand Caravan, I'd say we had plenty of room for the 2 of us. We finally have a better handle on Orlando and headed to the outlet and grocery stores before checking in.
We were originally scheduled for a Vero Beach Resort getaway but hurricane Jeanne took care of that. We were able to use our DVC points for 2 nights at CBR and 3 at OKW instead. The last time we were at CBR was nearly 12 years ago after I asked my bride for her hand in marriage in front of the Christmas tree on main street. We stayed in Aruba and enjoyed the landscaping and walks through the palms/bamboo and over the bridge to the main pool and shops. Hungry earlier than expected we ordered a pizza which was not very good but at least was filling. It was raining Monday morning, so we used our DVC pool hopping to spend the morning hot tubbing and playing dominos at the Wilderness Lodge. Later that evening we headed over to AKL for more dominos and spent a couple hours gorging ourselves at Boma's. Tuesday we enjoyed Blizzard beach before checkin in to OKW. We had never stayed here before and enjoyed it's laid back feel even though the main pool was closed. After dinner we took the boat to check out SSR and Downtown Disney. We hung out at OKW Wednesday morning but enjoyed SSR's quiet pool in the afternoon. Later that night we did Comedy Warehouse and Adventurers Club...Kungaloosh. Hung out at OKW on Thursday until MNSSHP which was great. All the rides were walk on's and it was great to see the park at night. Friday we packed up and headed over to Typhoon Lagoon. After an hour or so it started to rain heavilly so we had lunch and headed back to SSR hot tub. The weather cleared and we finished our trip with a return to the Lagoon before heading to the airport. While this wasn't the beach escape we had hoped for, we sure enjoyed having fun together. We did feel just a little guilty so we promise to bring the kids next time. Happy to answer any questions.
