Cute pictures! How did you like CBR? Our next Disney trip will be a Grand Gathering and we were considering CBR. I know that they recently redid their pool. It looks really nice.

trips of the past part 2

we wanted to try out a value this time and see how we liked it, since we dont really spend that much time at our hotel anyway.

well we chose all star sports...i have always wanted to stay here and boy did that change.

we did not have a bad time, but it was not what i expected at all.

here we are at ME getting ready to go in line for the bus.

it was nice, but not the value resort for us...turns out that the first part of the week, half hte hotel was little league baseball players..boy wher ethey annoying in the food court area...the other half of the week was, teenage volleyball girls..they were not as bad, just made things really busy as well.

we did have a quite area though and that was nice. we were in the surf area.

we had very bad luck with our room however, i wonder if the mades thought everyone was part of the teams, our room was not 100% cleaned each day, or when we checked in, and even the ladies working in the food area, were very groucy.

we might like one of the other value resorts alot better, and wil ltry them in the future.

as with both trips so far, we started out getting a bus to epcot,and taking a ride on themonorail to the TTC, and then around MK resorts area until it was time for dinner.

we have a little bit of different plans this year, but i will get to those in a little while for you.

dinner at ohana with my bride.

this was also the trip that we just found out about 3 weeks earlier that candi was pregnant, so we knew this would be the last trip just us, and were excited that the next time we would be bringing back a little one with us.

enjoying a romantic wallk around the water to the GF

and also a first day ritual for us, going on top of the contemporary for a view of the MK

coming up next, i will give a preview of the park days that we had last year.


it is getting close down to 33 days left.

 

[belle8306]

You are getting close! Great pictures! The one on the beach is really nice. I have never been on top of the Contemporary. The view looks amazing.

 

[Disneygrl36]

a break in trips from years past to do an udate on day number 1 of the parks.

december 7th
wake up at 5ish, get things together and wake up parker..feed him some breakfast, and have dad and mom pick us up at 6 to take us to the chicago to get on our plane.

want to be there a little after 7, flight is at 8:53 so that should be plenty of time, take parker on a few walks around the airport, and get some burger king at the airport, we do this for breakfast every trip. some crosandwiches, and some OJ

try and hold parker off to eat until we get on theplane, candi will then feed the little man on take off, and hopefully he will fall asleep i her arms for a while...if he is not sleeping, we are going to borrow BIL's portable DVD player for the plane for him to watch some mickey mouse clubhouse shows, that keeps his attention for at least 1and a half hours

land in Orlando at 12:21

We are pros when it comes to Orlando international, so we will quickly navigate to the monorail to themain building, and walk down the couple of levels to the ME, and get in line for Coronado springs...

hopefully if there are no flight delays, we will be on the bus no later than 1:00 and on the way and in disney by 1:30


check in and see if our room is ready, if not then leave our bags with the front desk guys, and take a bus to DTD...

candi wants to get matching sweatshirts of some sort for the week incase it is cold, and well just to have so, we will make a run down there.

after that, we will come back to the resort to check in our room, or, we will hitch a ride over to Epcot and do our tour of the monorails, we will take the monorail to TTC, then once around the MK resorts and get off at contemporary... from there, we will take a boat to Fort wilderness, for our dinner reservations at 6:00

we will try and get in a little earlier, so we have to make it to the campfire sing along...

after that we will head back to our room, for some much needed sleep and get ready for day number 2

Hi Dan!!!
Plans sound great!!! You just brought back memories when Nova would fall asleep in my arms. Boy, I miss that sometimes.

 

[MAGICFOR2]

Your first day sounds great! I'm hoping for a Red Eye in March, stay at MCO Hyatt, then head over to the resort and a park the next day - more days at Disney!
