First time at CSR and I can tell you that I will definitely go back. Can't wait to plan my next trip. I requested bldg 8A and got it. I have to say that I found that staying there, that there weren't as many people as I expected. I only ate at the Pepper Market twice for breakfast and thought it was fine. Being on the Discovery Magic, I ate and ate and ate and ate, get the picture.

I was a bit disappointed in Cape May Cafe for the Clambake tho. Being from New England, I was hoping for a variety of seafood. We had salmon, tilapia (sp?) clams and muscels, clam chowder and shrimp. Ok overall.

I really enjoyed O'hana last night, and Cirque du Soleil. What a great way to end our vacation.

We ate at Chef Mickeys, Ohana for breakfast and dinner, 50's prime time cafe for lunch (walked in with no PS), Cape may for breakfast and dinner, Hoop for dinner, Mickeys backyard bbq, and if I forgot any I will let you know later.

We enjoyed primevil whirl in AK but didn't like the "circus" feel. We did not spend any money at the tables.

Fish and chips in England, very bland.

Had special viewing for parade at AK but didn't need it. Plenty of spaces available to watch.

That's it for now. I am brain fried from traveling all day. Just back about an hour now. If you have questions, ask.

Oh ya. Hot and muggy until about 3pm every day then a guarantee downpour. I welcomed the rain because was very muggy out. We stayed in the pool until it lighteninged out. We took it easy this time.

Also did the spa sinus relief treatment at GF while dd was on pirate cruise. Boy was that nice. Although I showed up for my confirmed 10:30 appt, they said it was at 11:00. Oh well. Worked out fine.

Soooo much to tell.

Did you like primevil whirl....was it a hard ride to do ....or not bad for a scaredy cat.thanks again

Primevil whirl was fun. Not bad, even for a fraidy cat! Although, I don't like that area of AK. It has the atmosphere of a circus, not what I would imagine Disney would create.

My daughter loved the pirate cruise. I wan't sure she would being 9 and all but she had a great time!

I did have my green ribbon on and was recognized by a fellow diser. It was cool.

While we were in AK, we went to Pizzafari and I ordered pizza, bread sticks and a drink. it only came to 6.66 and I asked the cashier if that was right, seemed too low. She said, oh well, take the pizza for free! I was surprised.

While I was at the snack area at CSR, my key would not work at that particular snack shop and I didn't bring my dd card with us (she also had charge privledges) and the cashier gave me my lunch for free! I was feeling lucky at this point.

While traveling to Cape May for breakfast one morning, Jes and I were the only ones on the bus going to Magic Kingdom (I know, I was going the long way) the bus driver drove us to the Beach club and made sure we got there in time!! Now, I was feeling the magic.

And when we went mini golfing after going to blizzard beach, before I started golfing i asked when buses ran until. The cm at blizzard beach looked at some chart and told me 9:30. Well we went golfing and finished about 9:20 and I figured we had plenty of time to get to the buses. wel 9:45 comes around and no buses. as I was going back to winter/summerland i read the sign that said buses run til 9pm. The cm's at w/s called coronado and had a cm from there pick us up and brought us back to the resort. They said it happens all the time.

We did the behind the seeds tour at The Land in Epcot and had a good time. I got to feed the fish that we all eat in Disney!!!

There were so many characters everywhere waiting alone for people to approach them for autographs/pics. I couldn't believe it.

I purchased a kodak camera while there and had the film developed and got a free pin!

I'll write more as I remember it

 

[halfway there]

WOW sounds like you had a very 'magical' trip! Glad you enjoyed CSR. We're looking forward to staying there in Aug. Could you give some detailed info about the BBQ? We'll be trying that out for the first time this trip.

Hey I can't believe I never caught up with you. We stayed in Cabanas 8A too. I looked for you but there were quite a few people at the pool and then the first day we got there it downpoured about 15 minutes after we got in the pool. PM me and I'll tell you more. We had a great time though. I can't wait to go back and I'm going to start planning my next trip which I think we'll do part land/cruise. Talk to you soon. I'll post my trip report and all later on today or tomorrow.
