Trip Report You're going when, again?!?! A live trip report from the Devil's week.

At the shaming of @amjt660 and the guilt trip of my DW I've decided to create a dedicated thread for our next visit to the bubble.

The Devil’s Week:
We are 7 days out from our next round of funtivities during the “Devil’s Week”…Spring Break. The DD is heading on a band trip for the week to our nation’s capital so we thought it a good time for another couples trip. My new gig at the school system has me enjoying all the school holidays off as the kiddos do so what else should we do with a week off other than visit the bubble!
Who:
The Parents!

When:
April 1-5
Where:
We’re taking advantage of some deep discounts at the CBR during their war zon…I mean refurbishments. It will be our first time at CBR and we are more staying there to check it off the WDW resort list than we are for the discounts. We’d like to stay at all the resorts at one point. CBR will be our 12th different resort stay so we are getting close to our goal, it’s just so darn hard deviating from the Deluxes. I know, I know...woe is me, first world Disney problems and all.

Teen band drama now has the grandparents coming to stay with the DD before her trip while we are hopping on a JetBlue flight for the bubble. We’ll have at least half a day the first day to enjoy AK at night. As far as getting around, we debated on renting a car and did our best to figure out how much driving we would need to be doing during the trip first. We decided it would be cheaper for us to just get an Uber gift card and use that to get around during the week so that’s the plan. We purchased the Uber card today and loaded it into the app. We’ve locked in a few ADRs that include Boathouse, Artist’s Point, and Yachtsman. Boathouse is new for us and I’ve enjoyed a few vlogs and reviews I’ve see on it so we’re looking forward to that. No dining plans that first night, yet.

We picked up our Disney gift cards at Kroger today to cover the trip and food and now have an insane amount of fuel points! My magic band came last week and we're pretty much ready for the craziness! Nothing has been packed yet but, hey, we still gots a week!

When we kick this off next week I'll start live updates of the chaos.

Are those bags packed yet?! C and I can't seem to decide if we want to keep our CBR reservation or go back to POP. Your review will be a big decision maker for us. I'm worried about the construction and C is worried about the buses. Have a great time! Drink a Golden Monkey for J!
Like my better half said, i havent packed a thing yet!!! Ive been at a wrestling tournament all day and just got home. Only prep ive done for this trip so far is this:

We’ve been dragging our feet. I’ve half packed and checked us into our flights. Beer has been purchased. I’m excited to stay somewhere new to us.
I can't wait to hear about your trip. I've read that their pool is actually quite nice.

Today if all goes well the plan is to land, DME to CBR, then AK by 4:30 (we have a few FPs there). We haven’t planned a dinner yet so we need to still work that in.

We are blacked out today but we will be in Disney Springs today if you find yourself that way for a cocktail 🍺🍹🥤 or dinner. Enjoy CBR we stayed there last month and ended up really enjoying our stay. Our room was updated and bigger then anticipated. It was also fun to check out the construction and the skyliner. Mornings on the beach with coffee weren’t bad either. Hopefully we run into you guys later. Enjoy AK and safe flight.

Thanks! Lets see what our time is when we finally make it to CRB. DDT could be a possibility today. We’re for sure heading there this week.
Love the 1/4 cat in the back of the pic! :joyfull:
Ha! Yeah, he was super excited i was taking a picture and i had to encourage him out of the way a few times just to get this picture.

I hope they fix the lobby clock - a nearly 10 minute difference from one side to the other?! (Or is that merely the angle of the photo?). And I will think of you both tomorrow when I am in DLP ... and I won't be jealous about the quality of food nor the cooler, wetter weather ;)

The weather is PERFECT!!! I actually changed clothes at the airport in anticipation of this 80 degrees bliss.


We waited all of 1 minute for a DTD bus and on our way now to Polite Pig. We had one little hiccup with my MB that they were able to correct over the phone. I took some video and pics for @Zipitidoda that Ill post a bit later. We scored some cool swag too for dealing with the construction

There was also some literature on the new transportation system

There may be an impromptu M&G about to happen as well.
