Everyone who write trip reports is required to include lots of pictures of themselves.

Wed and Thurs SSSR 1bd-all that was avalible-will be wierd to have all that space!!!Fri, Sat and Sun AKV Kidani studio-savanna view!!! This opened up at the end of last week and we are soooo excited!!!

Wierd in a most wonderful way!

Haha. Well I'll let you be the 2nd of my Dis friends to know that Bro got a job at Universal today! He'll be at WWOHP in attractions so we might be adding that to the list of things to do but we'll have to see. The only day we could go is when I have my 2 ADRS at Ohana and Chef Mickeys + that was our Cirque day but we'll see. He'd have to be off to let us in and won't want to request off since he's new! It might have to wait till a May trip!

Our flight home is at 4:15 so a late afternoon flight as well! I'm guessing our DME would be at 1:15 unless bro is off to take us to the airport! Are you guys renting a car or doing buses for the week??

Congrats to Bro!! That is a tough decision! I think that time sounds about right. We will be using the good ol buses

 

[MaryAz]

Hmmmm, resort changes.
Reminds me of someone I know.....

I'll just warn you now. That 1br is going to spoil you really bad. Really, really bad.

In a good way....

I learned from the Master

I the 1bd when Hubby is along but with just 3 of us, more space for them to mess up!

Hiya Brook! I know, we are very lucky!!! Thanks so much!!

Lets talk about plans for March. Looking at the crowd calendar we are in for mostly 9s-hmmm reminds me of Dec....Here is what I have so far

Tues March 15th Depart Phx around 9a land in Orlando at 5p. Head to ME and board bus for CBR. I will do online check in for our cool pirate room. We will maybe have some dinner before heading to the room. As I remember the walk from Trinidad South is long but not to bad. We may even hop in the pool before heading over. After dinner and swimming we will head for the room for some zzz's

Wed March 16th Check out of CBR and head to MK as early as possible. Get Bell services to move our stuff over to SSR. Tour MK until after lunch at the Plaza then head to SSR to check in and swim. Late aft head to Epcot for dinner and possibly illuminations.

Thurs March 17th Epcot early for Soarin, TT SSE etc. KP mission out in WS, Lunch and more checking out of countries. Back to SSR for swim. Dinner and shop at DTD-take boat

Fri March 18th Check out of SSR, get Bell Services to transfer stuff to Kidani. Off to HS, try and get FP for TSM, check out new parade. Over to Kidani to check in and swim. Maybe back to DHS for Fantasmic??

Sat March 19th AK in the am, Finding Nemo show etc. Back to Kidani for swim. Dinner and night plans??

Sun March 20th Epcot in am , MK in late aft for EMH.

Mon March 21st Got a late check out so food and swim before we go,

Since we are very lucky and are able to go more often, my plans are pretty flexible. Sep/Oct will be filled with lots of meet up and friends so this trip will be more relaxed. Especially with the crowds. Any thoughts?? I have done a "later" night every other night. Try as I may to get Av to stay out late she is just not a night owl.

Uh-Oh! That crowd number does not make me too happy! I went the same weekend last year and I don't think I would have numbered the crowds at a 9 but who knows I guess!

With Easter being so late in April, I can't see how it can be that busy in mid March but what do I know. I guess we're the same way in that we were just there in Dec so it doesn't matter a whole lot. Plus with the free tix from GR, we won't feel like we're wasting them if we don't get a whole lot done!

Your plans look great! We might be at DTD on the 17th too! That was our plan for our first night in Dec but we all know how that turned out at POP grr! Anyways since we'll be at POFQ and close to DTD, depending on what time we check-in and eat dinner, we might head over there since we'll be close!

We'll also be at MK on the 20th! I think you mentioned that in my PTR though! On the 19th you have a ??? We'll be at Cirque and then Ohana that night so if you end up at the Poly for whatever reason, you'll have to let me know!!! I think our ADR is at 8:50 (I also have one for 8:35 but I'm not sure which to keep since Cirque lets out at 7:30 and we might have to take a bus).

We stayed in Tri South at CBR a few years ago (before the pirate rooms) and it was a 10 min walk to the food court/big pool. My dad walked it the one day and timed it since it seemed kind of far. You could always just jump on a bus I think. I know at CSR, they tell you to jump on a DTD bus to head to the lobby/food court area.

I'm surprised the touring numbers are that high! Mardi Gras is the week before so I would think the numbers would be in that range the week before and let up until April. But, maybe Spring breaks around the country will start around MG and run through Easter.

Sounds like great plans to take in the resorts and parks; you and the girls should have alot of magic and lots of relaxation. How many people can say that at Disney?!?

 

[wigdoutdismom]

Tell me about getting a late check out. I have wondered about it bet never tried...
So many times I have wished we had that!

 

[mickeystoontown]

I'm late to the party but at least I'm here. Now, I'm going back to read the details.

 

[mickeystoontown]

I'm back and am caught up now. I envy you staying in a pirate room at the CBR. As you know we love the CBR but haven't tried a pirate room yet. I did walk over to Trinidad South though to take a peek. I timed my walk and it was 6 1/2 minutes back to Old Port Royale so that's not too bad.

I can't believe you are staying at three different resorts! I'm worried about staying at two during our next trip.

 

[onescgirl]

Great plans, sorry your days are in the 9's.
I would have thought with Easter being in April, that March would not be bad.

 

[brookelizabeth]

I am curious about the late check-out too! Do tell! Can we just ask and they push it back???

I think your plans look wonderful! The more relaxed pace, don't push to get everything done, type of trips lets you experience more magic usually too! It's exciting and fun to just do whatever comes your way and take any issues - like slow transportation or something - in stride.

 

[smileycrissy]

Hi Mary, I followed on over from your TR to your new PTR. I got excited when you mentioned Avery's birthday was in March, so is mine (March 24).

Wow three rooms in one week. Well that just means even more pictures for your TR.

Hi Lisa
I am sad not to be seeing you in May!! I think it will be fine. It will be a party

I can always hope some people stay home!!
