Hello everyone! I finished my most recent trip report and decided it was time to get my plans in order for my next trip!!
Who: Me (Amy) and my husband (Brian)
What: A 5 night cruise on the Wonder that includes 2 stops at Castaway Cay followed by 1 day at MK and 1 night at the Contemporary
When: October 1-7
Why: I just recently returned from a 3 night cruise on the Dream that Brian didn't get to go on.
So this is his consolation prize! He is set to start the fire academy in December, so we're not sure when his next vacation will be!
Plans:
Wednesday, October 1 We fly out of Columbus at 7 am and arrive in Orlando at 9:15. We will take a DCL transfer to Port Canaveral to embark on the Wonder.
Thursday, October 2 This is Castaway Cay day #1. We don't have any set plans yet, but we think we will try to snorkel this day and then just relax.
Friday, October 3 This is our at sea day. I'm still working on trying to get Palo brunch this day. I check at least once daily and will check as soon as we board if none show up!
Saturday, October 4 We will be in Key West. All ashore is 7:45 am. I have scheduled us for a jet ski tour at 8:30. Then we will probably get on one of the trolleys to check the rest of the island out.
Sunday, October 5 This is Castaway Cay day #2. I currently have Palo brunch scheduled at 12:30, but I am doing my best to get it changed, because I really don't want to use up that much time eating instead of being on the beach!!
Monday, October 6 Debarkation day. We will then take a Disney transfer to the Contemporary. I am so excited to be staying there! We had originally booked Pop since this was a totally spur of the moment booking and no saving had been done! I had checked out CR rooms, but nothing was available but a deluxe garden wing room. If I'm going to spend that much money, I want it to be in the tower! I happened to be looking at the website a few days after booking, and a Bay Lake view room became available. Brian knew how much I've always wanted to stay at CR, and he told me to go ahead and book it. There is no way we could afford it for more than one night on such short notice, so this may be our only opportunity to stay there! I'm still hoping a discount will come out that I can apply to the room! Anyhow, we will be spending that day at MK as soon as we get checked in. I only have two must do things that day. One is to have a fruit and nutella waffle for breakfast and the other is to ride SDMT. I was able to snag a 5:20 ADR for 'Ohana. That is what Brian is looking forward to the most! He can't wait for the bread pudding!
Tuesday, October 7 Our flight leaves at 11:05 am, so DME will be picking us up at about 8 am. That means we won't have time for anything other than a quick breakfast at Contempo Cafe after checking our bags. We are set to land in Columbus at 1:15, so we will hopefully be back in Dayton in time to get the kids off the bus!
