Trip Report Our 20th Anniversary Trip to the Caribbean...December 2018 COMPLETED

Caribbean Beach Resort, that is!!

Well, we've been back awhile, and the Disney Blues have hit me really hard this time for several reasons to be discussed later, so I have put off starting this report, but I am finally ready. I had arthroscopic surgery on my shoulder this past Friday and took this whole week off, so hopefully I can finish before I go back to work!

If you didn't catch my semi-live report, my husband (Brian) and I (Amy) were at WDW from December 16-20 celebrating our 20th anniversary.

Sunday, December 16, 2018
We had an early (6:00am) flight from Columbus, OH which is about an hour from our house, so we had a very early wake up call! My mom had come over the night before since she was staying with the kids while we were gone, so we quickly got ourselves ready and were out the door with minimal fuss.

I had my nails done up to match my new MagicBand!

We had an uneventful trip to Columbus and got checked in and through security very quickly. One of the gate agents had lived in Florida for years, and spent a good bit of time talking to us about WDW which made the time go faster. We got to see the sun come up while we were in the air.

It was very foggy in Orlando, and we thought we were still making our descent through the clouds, when all of a sudden we were on the ground! It was quite a shock, but luckily it was very smooth since Brian is not a good flier!

We were quickly in the main terminal and admiring this:

Had to stop to get a picture of:

Also had to stop in the Universal store to see if they had anything Harry Potter for Lily.

We made a quick stop in World of Disney, but just couldn't stand it.

I wanted to try the Christmas cookie cupcake at Sprinkles, so we headed over there next.

They were out of the Christmas cookie one, so I decided to try the Gingerbread one.

It was really cute, but really didn't do anything for me! Oh well!

Then we headed back to the bus stop.

We checked in for our "sleigh" ride and had to wait a few minutes.

This wasn't our horse, but I thought I'd get a pic anyway!

Then it was our turn. Our driver, Logan, got pictures for us, but they didn't turn out very well.

We then headed back to CBR as we were exhausted from our 2:30am wake up call.
