Well we just got back at 2:30 am this morning from the best Family vacation ever!!!!
I know alot of people have been asking alot of questions about this resort so if you don't mind I would like to tell you about our stay. I have so much information, I will probable ramble alot. I figure every day I can write about a couple of topics. Also I brought home all of the info. that they give you, times, movies, activities. I am not able to post online, but if anyone is interested in doing it, I will send it all to you, just let me know.
First a little info. about us. We booked our first Disney Cruise for the Magic back in November 2003. We are not going until April vacation 2005, so we have been on the boards getting info. for that. We ended up getting a week at the Ron Jon through a bonus week program through our timeshare. We ended up getting a 2br/2bath ocean front unit. We went with my DH(42), myself(35), DS(6 next month) and DD(4 1/2).
Like I said this was the best family vacation that we have ever had. Alot of it could be beside the wonderful resort, we had the best weather. 82-87 everyday with no rain, and also my kids have been taking swimming lessons, and before we left they were just starting to swim without a bubble, and when we got home, they were little fishes in the water. So that made it alot more fun for us.
Ok where to start:
Check in: We arrived at the resort around 2pm. When up to the desk and checked in. We were told that we could fill out all of the paper work, and check back for our room around 3:15. When I checked in I ask if I had any choice of room location. We were booked in the oceanfront building, and I really wanted to be close to the pool. Boy was I wrong. We loved the Oceanfront building. I will post lots of info. about it later. We were told that the highest room we could get was the 3rd floor. We left and went to check out the resort. So beautiful. Checked back at 3pm and our room was ready, so off we went. We drove down to the ocean front building. Like someone had said earlier there is not alot of parking down by the ocean, but people were all parking on the grass. Later in the week we noticed if you drove to the side of the building, there was parking underneath. They really should let people know about this, maybe a sign or tell them when they check in. When you walk into the Ocean front building there is a desk, but we never saw anyone there. Also they have luggage cart here for you to use. We were never asked if we needed help with our luggage, so not sure if it was available if you needed it. We loaded up one of the carts and up to the room we went. What can I say about the room. New, clean, big, and beautiful. When you walked in on the right there was the first bedroom with 2 double beds, then a full bathroom, then a Washer Dryer in the closet, small hallway then you entered the kitchen/Livingroom. Just a note, there was a pocket door in the hallway to seperate the 2nd bedroom, bathroom, laudry. If you wanted privacy. We had a beautiful view of the ocean. (More about this later), and to the right the master bedroom with slider to the balcony. The room also had a walk in closet. The closet alone could have been a small bedroom. The master bath had a single sink with long vanity for storage and a stand up shower, and a corner spa tub. Our oceanfront balcony was 10 by 30 feet. Yes I did mean feet. It was so hugh. It had one lounge chair, 4 plastic chairs and a side table.
Ok that about all for now, I will try to post more later.
