Mama Meija's Disney Birthday Roadtrip Extraveganza!!!

[Just Beachy]

Very clever thread title!! Enjoying this very much so far!!!

Glad to hear that you are enjoying your stay at the CBR. It's one of our favorites. Even when we stay at other resorts we still go and visit the Caribbean as we really enjoy the food court selections and the Old Port Royale shops. I think the gift shop and market have some of the nicest selections on Disney property. Oh..and you girls can get your hair braided at the CBR as well!
It's great being able to see some of the Illuminations display from the resort.. a magical way to end the evening.
Oh and I think they did a fabulous job on the new pool and hot tub renovations.

Part 2

After several more hours of show tunes, chit chatting about everything under the sun and listening to "Kingdom Keepers" on CD;

Just jumping on board (had to have the pirate reference) - can I ask if this is an audio CD of the Ridley Pearson book? How cool is that! I'd love to get one for the kids, we've read the book and really enjoyed it.

Loving the trip report, glad you are having a good time.

Yes! I think I ordered the CDs from Barnes & Nobles. Its a great way to pass the time on your way to WDW





Sitting in a campground now....it's the last night of the MMDBRTE (The title of this thread is really long).....but I don't want to get ahead of myself! I still need to post about day 2!

Day 2 we woke early for EMH and turned on Stacy. She told us that Expiition Everest is a "Must Do"....so as soon as the doors were open we were there.









You know......
Stacy

Hey, what am I, chopped liver????

It was HOT like only Africa can be but we had a fabulous time in AK. Rode EE 3 times before the crowds started arriving. We NEVER could have made it to a.m. EMH with the other kiddos in tow.

our tent after the yeti got to it

The last thing we did in AK was Kali rapids. I have never been on this ride, mind you...I'm like a cat and not found of getting wet unless it's a temperature controlled shower or something of that nature. I went on...thinking how bad could it be? Ha. I'll tell you how bad. I was in the proverbial "hot" seat. Despite the fact that I was armed with rain gear, my jacket was no match for the tidal wave that had my name on it. I just checked that experience off my list and there are NO pictures to prove it!

 

[PolynesianPixie]

Hey, what am I, chopped liver????

Yes...you and Amanda and Kelly and Donnie and Debbie and Dennis......

ok, ok....I should have said more of my virtual friends....sorry, John!!!!

 

[RvUsa]

That's better TY

Meija is too young to audition this year, but she is already planning her big debut for next year! She IS the next AMERICAN IDOL!!!!!!

 

[PolynesianPixie]

Day 3 we went to downtown disney to check out some of the new stuff they have down there.

We started the day by driving over to POFQ to get som Beniegts...YUM! Nothing like fried bread covered in powdered sugar!!!!! we sat outside and the sugar started blowing everywhere....ended up in a powdered sugar fight! Our black shirts were covered in the stuff! Look at this picture and tell me who is the guilty fight starter.....

Have you seen this?

I tried to convince Meija to go with me...no such luck, she prefers her feet on solid ground. So....I went up all by myself. It was really spectacular though! You could see all of WDW!!!!!!

scary heights and scary dinosaurs

 

[BigDaddyRog]

Awesome shots from the balloon....and I gotta say....those pirate themed rooms are pretty freakin cool!!! We may need a room for Halloween night...and Im thinking those look pretty good!

 

[BigDaddyRog]

OMG...at the quoted $219/night.....looks like we may be sacrificing the Pirate theme!!!

Talk to Rhonda. I think we ended up paying around $140 a night. Disney is still throwing around the deals!

 

[disney4dan]

Definitely talk to Rhonda BDR, we're saving for a room before our cruise this fall, and Rhonda is finding some good deals.
