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.

Let me preface all this with the food at AP is flat out AWESOME. The consistency here is perfect. That said, if you make us reserve at 180 days then provide us with a menu advertising a 5 course meal then tell us at order time that “oh, were too busy this week to offer the 5 course meal” what the F’n H?!?! Look at the menu!!! Its not like they couldnt just pull that piece of paper out!!!

Ahhhh... serenity now, serenity now...

Moving on, Carol was on point with everything service wise and was prompt with bread and water.

We really had a nice little nook in the restaurant and while the restaurant was busy it wasnt CG loud.

We shared two apps, the Wild Mushroom soup and the Braised Beef Bolognese, both were excellent and could hvw qualified as an entree.

For the main course we shared the chicken. This chicken reminded me of CG’s chicken from December only better! For you leaf eaters this next sentence will gross you out. The flavord fried skin on this chicken could have been a meal in its own right it was soooo good!

We were stuffed after this and made a leisurely walk to the boat and are now about to face the Spring Break hoard at MK once again!

There were masses leaving the park as we entered but still masses inside! We grabbed a few pics out front before making our way in.

As we exited CoP our FP was ready and standby was 125 minutes!!! The dude riding in front of @imahistorygeek was pretty funny but ill let her share that story. Believe it or not but we didn not coordinate this pic.

We were committed to beat the HEA crowd after leaving SM and made a flawless powerwalk to POTC just as the last fireworks were going off! We walked right on to a boat without waiting. Now that we’ve seen it in person...may i say Booooooooo!

Anyway, we’re done with the park for the night and are now in a bus to BW to grab a drink at Abracadabar for some drinks before heading back.

We’re planning on rope dropping HS tomorrow while lunching at Baseline.

@lostpro9het How'd you like the Elysian Dragons Tooth Imperial IPA ? I'm a fan and homebrewed a copy for St Paddy's Day.

My Untappd notes from yesterday:
4 out of 5
Mild stout with a decent coffee aroma. Worth repeating.


It is a decent stout and i like this beer a lot more than Space Dust. It smells like its going to have a lot of flavor but is mild. This would be a good beer from them to age in something to add some complementary flavors. If you like dark beer is worth a go.
