We are home again from our summer trip. We arrived home a couple of hours ago after spending last night at Cambridge after taking DS home. Ive unpacked, got the washing on and so thought it was time to log on here to catch up.
My trip report last summer was called Doing Disney Different with Darling Disney Daughter (DDD with DDD) and this one could have the same title as it was a very different type of trip.
We spent a lot more time at the hotel this time- relaxing and enjoying the atmosphere there. We deliberatly didnt rush to do a lot of things and so found it a lot more relaxing - yes it can be relaxing
On the whole it was a lovely trip and well worth the upgrade to Admirals Floor
Cons: (mainly niggles really )
The heat - Im not a lover of intense heat and it was HOT
The crowds - surprisingly the weekend was quieter than the week days. There werent as many British about but a lot of large groups from some countries
The usual queue jumpers and people who seem unable to organise themselves in queues - large groups or even families who want to ride together and get to the front of the queue and realise they are not all in the same line or together and so hold everyone else up
Finding a dead wasp in my food in Annettes - the only bad thing I have to say about the food for the whole trip
The swimming pools at the hotels not opening now til 3pm (we actually had to queue to get in one afternoon)
Pros:
Newport Bay hotel - first time we've stayed here and loved it. The room was lovely and spacious and had really good air con
The upgrade to Admirals floor - well worth it and got our moneys worth in drinks alone (never mind the cakes and cooked breakfast)
The food We had some fantastic meals which all seemed reasonable price wise for what we got
The CMs - they all seemed really friendly and cheerful
The price we had to pay to add DS onto our booking at the last minute - 5,50E for 5 nights (and that included breakfast and upgrade)
