Hello and welcome to our trip report. We have been back not quite a week from our 2 weeks in Orlando and yes, I am in that depressed post-Disney state. I thought writing our trip report would make me happy and help another DISer possibly. This was the second year we used a Passporter, which asks daily what the weather is like, the most magical experience of the day, best experience, worst, etc. I will start off each day with what we recorded.
SO…here’s a little about the characters- Elizabeth (42) and my hubby Marco (42). Since 2000, we have been heading to Orlando at least once and sometimes twice a year. We have stayed several different places and tried lots of great restaurants.
Details of this year
Dates: Sept 15-29
Resort: Caribbean Beach resort
Celebrating: 15th wedding anniversary
Getting there
We normally have the 6 am flight on a Sunday, but it was much cheaper to take the Saturday early evening flight, so off we go. Everything went really smoothly. So much so that our flight landed at 11:30 and just over 30 minutes later, we were in the rental car on the way to the resort (how great was that). We checked in (completely painless- took about 5 minutes with online check in) and I noticed the lobby smelled like coconut and pineapple. Very Cool.
We had an awesome room in Trinidad North, right around the corner from a quiet pool/laundry and there was a parking spot so close to our room. Our room was on the ground floor, which hubby loved but since I read on the DIS about snakes getting into rooms, I was not thrilled with, but it turns out everything was OK.
After thoroughly checking the room (for you know, snakes and cleanliness), we headed to bed.
