Disney dangled the visual weinee & Mickeystoontown gobbled it up! 10/26

I did try snooping a bit too, but there were so many workers around that I couldn't get out of anyone's view long enough for pictures. I saw those permits too, but you did better with snooping than I did since I didn't get any pictures of them!

Pretty pictures of the resort. It's always interesting to see when they do refurbishments. I love when you can actually see a new room. Sounds like all you saw were work permits and a toilet.

 

[TinkyCheeks]

Way to be willing to take one for the team! I never would have even thought there would be security. Crazy!

Wow what a long ride to Boardwalk and then for nothing to be there such a bummer. I did learn that maybe I should be timing my bus ride tho.

Sound like such an adventure looking for refurb rooms. I have always wanted to spend a little more time exploring the resorts but James, my DH, is such a parks person.

Love reading about your adventure! Lol..

I'm also in Louisiana (about 30 min west of New Orleans). Do you find it super hot in May at Disney? Or the same as our humid summers?

We were there May 22-30, & I agree with Lisa. We never felt that is was unbearably hot in comparison to home. One afternoon at Animal Kingdom, we felt hot & worn. Otherwise we tried to do water activity during the day, & parks in the evening/night.

Really, Hunter wanted pizza? I'm so surprised!!!! LOL

Thank you so much for trying to snoop out some scoop for us DISers! We really appreciate the fact that you were willing to take one for the "team." Three weeks from today and I will be there to carry on the mission!

Can't wait to read more about your adventures!

Hi Lisa! I was a few days behind but I'm all caught up.

CBR looks great! Loved your resort pictures!

Ohhh, and now you've got the Wayne's World song stuck in my head for the rest of the day!

I think that we were at the point that it was so crummy that we found it funny. Know what I mean?

I agree. You get to the point where you will either laugh or cry about what's going on. Much better to laugh at things like this.

 

[Clarf]

Glad you didn't get taken to Disney jail!

I'm intrigued now about the new rooms. Maybe I can sneak a peek in September. I'll let you know!

And I'm shocked that Hunter got pizza!

Love you CBR pics. I can't wait to be there.

 

[RobertLC]

Hey Lisa!

Subscribing to see how your trip went. Great to meet you and the family in the MK!

Glad you got home ok. Will have to tell you the adventure I experienced as soon as I got home. It wasn't full of pixie dust, that's for sure!

 

[geckodani]

I can just see you sneaking around trying to take pics - love it!

 

[shan23877]

I'm so sorry to hear that Hunter's birthday night was a bust. The Boardwalk is pretty, but I guess I wouldn't make a night of it either.

Thank goodness you didn't get thrown in Disney jail! Though it would have been nice to know what Disney jail looks like... do you think they'd have let you take pictures?

Are they doing a major refurb on the rooms at CBR? I guess I thought that they had just re-done them a few years ago-adding the Nemo theme?

 

[rteetz]

Hello Lisa! Just subscribed CBR looks great never stayed there before may have to in the future. Looks like you did some great investigative work on those new rooms. Can't wait to hear more.

 

[LuvvsMickey]

Oh you are bad! I love it! Muahahaha

I'm thinking this was not your last attempt to find the coveted refurbished room. And, I don't blame you one bit for sleeping in after that crazy night before. What a zoo! We've never run into the Boardwalk entertainment yet, either. Very disappointing. Some day! Keep the stories coming. Love it!

 

[amazingact21]

Well, with all that undercover work you were doing at CBR, at least you had the forethought to put aside some bail money in case the Disney police caught you!

I suppose seeing a gutted room is better than nothing. At least it was something.

 

[JessietheNCCowgirl]

Girl, you and your run-ins with the law at Disney!

I remember when we met and I asked you about the rehab at CBR - John got a big grin on his face and said you almost got arrested snooping around taking pictures. All I could think about was your previous run in with the law on your cruise - sneaking that contraband clothes iron in your luggage. What a rebel you are!

Glad the bail money was in the safe and the boys knew where the key was! You had the best intentions though - takin' one for the the DIS Boards Team! You're such a good DISer!

 

[2jboysmom]

Such a tough day! I had no idea that that the boardwalk entertainment was hit or miss! I can not sit still on vacation either, It drives my hubby nuts! Maybe I should go take some pictures next time. Can't wait to hear more!

 

[DisneyJo]

Wow 2 hours on the bus! That's crazy! What a shame there were no performers out, especially after your long trip there!

You are funny sneaking around with your camera and waving at the guards, it won't be long till they have your name on a wanted poster

 

[INPartyof5]

New to your trip report but subscribing can't wait to see what happens next!

 

[mcconnellfam96]

I would have been FREAKING OUT after two hours on a Disney bus!!!
