Trip Report An Anniversary/Birthday Trip to Remember, December 2024

We're back!! And there were many memorable things about our trip, some fantastic and some not so great things, but overall a wonderful trip!

Quick overview:
Who: me (Amy) and my husband, Brian
Why: we were celebrating our 25th anniversary and 50th birthdays, just 1 year late!
Where: Caribbean Beach Resort, Jamaica building 42
When: December 6-11, 2024

We had a later flight out of Columbus, so left our house about 3pm and made it in plenty of time for Brian to nap before we had to board!

We were scheduled to depart at 5:45, so got to see the sunset from the ground and the air.

I was unlucky enough to have a young child behind me that kicked my chair the entire 2 hour flight until about 10 minutes before we started our descent. We asked nicely and the flight attendant asked nicely and the mom continued to sleep with her earbuds in, so in addition to the kicking, we got to constantly hear "mom, mom"! Longest two hour flight ever!

I was worried about having to check a bag, but it made it MCO with us and in good condition, so that was a relief! Our driver met us and we were soon on our way and seeing these:

We got our room ready text while on the way. We were booked into a water/pool view 5th sleeper since that was all that available using the Bounceback offer for our dates. I had requested Jamaica and that our water view be of Barefoot Bay and not a pool. I also requested to be near the Skyliner. Yay, all of my requests were granted!!

As soon as they announced that Satu'li Canteen was serving breakfast and I saw the menu, I knew I wanted to try it and Brian was up for whatever. When I placed the mobile order, I asked if he wanted his own order or if we should share one, and he wanted his own. We should have shared! Or gotten kids meals! Lesson learned! We both ordered the cinnamon french toast. It was delicious! There was just too much of it.

We deliberately waited a little while after park opening to get in line for the safari since our park opening June safari trip was a little sparse on the animals. This one was much better, other than we were seated with another party and most of the animals on the first half of the safari were on their side of the truck, so I had trouble getting pics.
