Trip Report COMPLETED - I said I'd never go during Spring Break again, but yet...

Our last Spring Break trip was a little bit of a nightmare. We said we'd never go during Spring Break again.

Well, no cruising means we got to do something. For our last cancelled cruise (7 of them) we went to Mexico and spent time a wonderful all-inclusive (TRS Coral) that felt like cruising sans kids. If you're looking for a place without kids, this is it. Our next one on the books is DCL Bermuda in October. I've got a TRS Coral reservation in my back pocket if DCL cancels.

This is the main adult-only pool:

Back to business.

81977538_124783439016183_6385852011002200064_o.jpg


When: April 3-10

April 3: We're staying at the Courtyard Marriott in Downtown Orlando and plan to hit a few breweries.
April 4: Boardwalk Villas
April 5 -10: Saratoga Springs

Dining Reservations:

April 4 - Big River Grill
April 5 - Morimoto Asia
April 6 - The Wave
April 7 - Narcoosee's
April 8 - Il Mulino
April 9 - Cityworks

Narcoosee's was a tough reservation to find, but from what I've been reading, dining reservations have been scarce. The Wave was pretty easy and the rest are on Opentable, which is highly more preferable than Disney's reservation system and often has better dining times.

We are not going to the parks. We were really holding out for APs, but that's not happening and while we can get the DVC discounted 4 days with 2 days free ticket, we didn't want to put any more money towards tickets since we are going in July as well.

We will be hanging out at the pools, drinking our drinks, and eating food while enjoying being away from home.

Blizzard Beach tickets are discounted for DVC members, so that may happen one of the days.

We're looking forward to getting back to Disney!

So happy to see this. For whatever reason the Wave gets panned around here, but we've had nothing but great meals here.
BTW, to add to my salivating over libation photos, my stomach is now growling.

QFT!

I have only one criticism for The Wave and that’s the water. Arguably the worst water on property, unless you enjoy the tangy zip of sulfur in your H2O. The pool here at SSR has one of those touchless water bottle fill stations that produces some of the best water on property. So I know for a few hundred bucks The Wave could infinitely improve their water situation in perpetuity. That said, some of the best prepared food on property, dollar for dollar.

It has the atmosphere of a conference banquet room, but the food has always been multiple levels above the usual rubber chicken or bargain filet. When the breakfast buffet was available the quality always seemed to be significantly better than most other offerings on property.

Day 7 (December 2019) ctd...


It was a cold morning. Colder than we anticipated, so when we arrived at MK we got some jackets. C got a fleece from the Emporium and I picked up a hoodie at Momento Mori. We desperately tried to reach @lostpro9het and his bride on the phone to ask who hijacked their Trip Report, but we couldn't get through!!

After a few attractions in MK we headed to Epcot for lunch. I'll allow the pictures to help you figure out where we ate.

We went back to the room after lunch because we had company arriving soon and we were all going to the After Hours party at AK. I needed a better jacket because it was getting more cold. I headed back to Epcot for a jacket and C got ready. I took a beer for the walk.

I snagged another beer to enjoy as I searched for a jacket.

After finding a jacket I grabbed a beer to celebrate the occasion.

When I first read this, I thought your criticism was "the waiter" , I won't get into it here, but I've posted before that the only bad experiences we've had at the Wave was the few times we've had less than stellar servers.

Never noticed the water! I guess I am going to stick to frosty cold ones from here on out. :cool:

Goooooood morning! Feels like I’m in groundhog’s day the way these beautiful skies smack you in the face each morning.

Everglazed is still on the menu. I received a contact sugar high just from cutting into this monster.

Another day at the pool is planned followed by dinner at Naracoossee’s. Maybe a pregame at Enchanted Rose.
