Jumping, Dancing & Jamming Our Way Through Walt Disney World! I'm With the Band Now!

[JessietheNCCowgirl]

to Hunter for his pictures of the room and for his gnat exterminating abilities!

Aaaahhh the CBR beach - your pictures have me 2nd guessing my upcoming stay at POFQ. I really want to try the refurbished rooms there, but then I think I hear the faint sound of the palm trees in your CBR pictures calling my name (especially since I am sitting here at work).

I like the looks of the Jamaica village and it's funny how your family ends up getting assigned there. We've stayed at CBR 3 times and always get put in Martinique (non preferred). It's all good though because the entire resort is beautiful!

Anxious to hear if you decided to live out of the suitcase or unpack.

So glad it wasn't bed bugs!!! You always have such great pictures of CBR! I can't wait to go back again. Just don't know when. I'm hoping/pushing for next year. This year just isn't in the budget So I will just live through your trips for now! Can't wait to read more! You left another cliff hanger in there.....just incase of what??????

 

[longing2Batdisney]

Happy to hear is was a rouge swarm of gnats....I was not thinking bed bugs (as it was too early to find those) but I was thinking something just as bad; fleas.

sounds like things are going smooth and tasty (except for your chips)....can't wait to hear how you guys start your Disney Adventure...

so happy to hear you guys are booked for next year! a two week adventure now that sounds like an awesome adventure!

Oh! although, I did not fall for your little "scare"....unless you or John has some parts missing or tied up real good...better not joke too loud; remember my little "angle" surprise that turns "5" in about month! didn't think after 14 yrs it was possible for me either....(I told Danny the year before he came along to quit saying he wanted another one.... but, someone heard him! )

 

[Bridora]

How exciting that you already have next year's trip booked!

I guess I almost fell for your little pregnancy gag there...until I noticed that big empty gap under that sentence! Good one!

I'm glad it was only gnats biting you; and that they were quickly dealt with.

 

[Happy Elf]

Yay no bed bugs! Glad the gnats didn't hang around.

Thanks for the tip about the beach. I can't wait to stay at CBR but the I'm a little afraid I will get lost.... It is beautiful!

Congrats on the new trip!

 

[PhoenixStrength]

Yay for gnats and not bed bugs. I'm sure the gnats were annoying, but bed bugs would have been so much worse!!

CBR looks beautiful. I'm debating where to stay my next trip, POP or a moderate. I've stayed at POP before and enjoyed it, but I love the extra theming and such of the moderates. I have to decide soon since they already released for next year and I want to get my reservation in soon!

 

[rndmr2]

Getting caught up on your last couple of updates. Glad your trip is going well so far. thank goodness you were able to get rid of those gnats so easily. Your CBR pics are so nice, I love it there, I hope to stay there again someday.

 

[PirateKate]

How strange that there were gnats in your room. I hope Hunter managed to get the room bug free.

Congratulations on booking next year's vacation!!

 

[Tiggerrn2]

Love that you have next year's trip in the works. It makes coming home so much easier when you know you are going back again soon. Glad there were no bed bugs. I always strip apart the beds and check them over before I think of crawling in.

 

[GrammyJudy]

DID YOU SERIOUSLY FALL FOR THAT? My days of raising babies are over with.

Lisa you are never done raising babies, once yours are grown you will have grandkids to love and spoil and help with! And take to Disney

I hope I have selected the right picture above; it should be the table in your room with a clock calendar flyer with print stating upto 40% off if you book a return trip before you check out. It seems that you must not have used this offer to book your long trip for next year. Did you have a better offer? Do you pick a time that is right for you, wait to see if an offer shows up during your reservation, and then call to have it applied?

I lived in Florida for about twenty years. Anytime I think of vacation, beach is hardly ever in the selected top five. But - that resort looks beautiful. I can't wait to see more of it through your eyes.

 

[ronnmel]

I didn't fall for the Baby thing because I noticed the white space just under.

Thank god it wasn't bed bugs! Gnats (whatever they are, never heard that term before as English is my second language) seem annoying, but at least very easy to get rid of.

Those pictures of Jamaica are so pretty. I kinda wish we had taken more time to explore the resort when we were there, but then again we only had 6 (very packed) days.
That little playground on the island looks fun!

Homemade chips taste so good! They had some at the snack bar in Cuba and they were quite popular, with reason!

 

[TinksThree]

Whew! I have a huge fear of bed bugs! YUCK!!

What pretty pictures of CBR! I wish it had a boat to DTD for Keith!! I got a PIN for Value Resorts today but when I mentioned he made a snide remark about it not being as good as POR/POFQ...which actually is a huge plus for him!!

 

[Angies1274]

So glad it wasn't bed bugs!! It is strange about the gnats though.....

Love all the pictures of CBR! It's such a pretty resort!

for booking your next vacation!!!

 

[ddstratton]

Ewwww. Gnats. Not fun. At least they vamoosed quickly.

Looks like they've done some revamping in the rooms, since we were there in October 2008. We had a Nemo themed room, but our beds didn't have the small green pillows. And it looks like they've put another section on the top of the dresser and given a flat-screen TV. I can't find one of my pictures off-hand, but I'm pretty sure our dresser had the small drawers on the top, and a regular TV sat on top. They now have little cubby-holes over the small drawers.

In the second picture, it looks like the paint on the top section is a little different than on the bottom...

I'm loving your CBR pictures, by the way.

 

[RinkyTinkyTinky]

What a relief on the bed bugs! man you had me worried there for a while! Gnats are bad, but MUCH better than bed bugs!

All your food from the food court sounds really good. I think we are going to enjoy it there. I was hoping to see the food court area in your pictures to see if the lanterns were still hanging across the ceiling. I saw a picture recently and it looked like they were gone, but it might have just been the angle. I hope they haven't taken them down because they make it look so neat in there! It really looks like you are outdoors. Can't wait to see the rest of your pictures!

Happy Father's Day to all of the fathers who are reading! It's a toasty 100 degrees here in North Louisiana with a heat index of 105! It's hotter than hecka decka!

Hunter and I are going to grill steaks for John this evening. Lacey is in Knoxville so she's going to miss out. On the flip side, she's spending Father's Day with her future father-in-law so at least she's with a daddy today.

Lacey went to Knoxville on Thursday of last week and got to see the apartment that Jesse picked out for them. She had only seen pictures of it and said it's really nice and spacious. It's near Jesse's work and has a tennis court, pool and laundry facilities. The best thing about it is it is well within their budget.

We've not spent much time outside this weekend because it's been so blessed hot. But, John and I did go outside for several hours later last evening to water the garden. I am excited to report that our garden is growing well despite the heat. We have tomatoes on the vine, purple hull peas blooming, have already gathered quite a few yellow squash and we have little bitty cucumbers and cataloupes. I'm anxiously awaiting the day that we can eat the fruits (and veggies) of our labor.

I'm hoping to get an update posted later this afternoon or early evening. Lord knows I aint' going out in this darn heat!

First of all I want to say I have enjoyed all your TR reports. I just have a question about your pics on Memories which I have just seen . I also sent my wedding day memory in and I got picked , but its not where everyone can see it. Its only in my Memory. What I am asking you is did I do something wrong and thats why its not on the Memory site. If so can you help me? Also like all of Lacey's wedding plans . I to did the same for my 2nd wedding. I had my cousin use artificial flowers for my wedding and they looked so real. I went to a cake decorating class and I made my own cake. My parents helped make the food for the reception and everything was great. Sorry to say the man I married was not, but I finally married my soul mate at WDW. So hoping you will write all about the wedding and lots of pics for us to see.

Another great report!! So happy that the whole family could come along!! SOrry about the car trouble on the way down. Glad the peeps were so great and fixed it up quick!! We also really liked CBR-so tropical. Love ur sayings and congrats for booking ur next trip!!

 

[__disneygirl]

Joining in!! Love your TR!

I love all your Southern references! I live right outside of NYC and I must say every time I visit the south I am shocked by how much nicer everyone is! Gotta love that southern hospitality.

Your pics are making me miss CBR so much! We stayed there last year and loved it so much. Pop Century is our favorite, but one thing it doesn't have are beaches, and the beaches are soo nice at CBR. But i must admit, I'm like you, I like to drop my stuff off in the room and get going!! I never relax at Disney.

Can't wait for more!

 

[Stringbean&Wingnut]

Oh man I'm exceptionally relieved you didn't have to deal with bedbugs!!!! I'm sooo grossed out by those. Gnats are pesky, but much less horrible. And I'm glad they got out of your way quickly.
