Ack! The Dis deleted you from my watched threads somehow. I was catching up and thought to myself...I haven't seen Liddy post anything lately, wonder what she is up to. So I looked and you weren't there!
Well I searched for you and fixed that little snafu.
So anyway....moving right along....
Yay for CBR again! It's hard when you have a specific resort in mind then get switched against your will (trust me, I know). So I'm very happy you got it in the end. And a preferred room to boot!
You asked a while back for hopper advice? Well we have always purchased hoppers. We love them. Some days we use them, so days we don't. But it is so nice to have the option in case of unforeseen circumstances.
The way we utilize them is:
I plan all of our mornings out to a 'T'. We hit the parks at opening and go hard until about lunch time. Then we head back to our resort for a break. Some like to swim, some like to nap, and some like to just walk around and explore the resort we have spent so much money to be at.
Then at around 4-5pm we hop back. Either to the same park, or a different one.
My favorite thing to do with hoppers is to start at MK, then monorail over to Epcot (such a cool experience arriving at EP on the monorail!), then walk (or boat) down to HS. Not all at once, but throughout the day, stopping to do rides and attractions here and there. The walkway between EP and HS is great. You get to explore Beach Club, Yatch Club, Boardwalk, Swan & Dolphin. And the path along the river is very peaceful
So Yay for CBR!
And I hope all your appointments go well. Will be thinking of you!
