We're in the process of finding land to build a house upon, I am on a year sabbatical from school before I start my MD/PhD program, and both boys are now in full-time school. As a result, we decided that we should probably take a year off from our annual Disney trip. We have family and friends in FL, so we must make a trip there anyway, but figured we'd hit up US for a day or two and call it good. Fast forward a few months and I receive a cute little brochure in the mail from Disney. Inside is a pin code!! We can't really pass up a pin code, now can we? Get the hubby on board with the plan and we look into, finally, staying deluxe. We've had the Beach Club on our minds for a long time and we know that it's the deluxe we want to try out first. We get on the site to check out prices, and discover that the BC is going to be undergoing a 20-month renovation!! If we are going to shell out the big bucks (even with the pin code) then we would really prefer to have the resort in tip top shape. We look into staying at our go-to resort, POR, when CBR catches our eye. We realize if we do CBR this trip then we will have completed the moderate circuit and we can move up to deluxe on the next trip. Plus, with the code, our nightly rate is a measly 120, leaving us plenty of money for ADRs and such. So now we are booked for April '15 at CBR! We booked at 182 days out and we are now 148 days out
In the past we have invited family along, but it never works out well, so this trip it's me (Ember), DH, and our two boys, 9 and 5. You can find our previous trip reports in my signature line.
