Wow, it has
been a while!
It is hard
to believe it has been 2 weeks since our Disney trip, but somehow the time has
really gotten away with me. I’ll start
with just a brief overview of our trip and then will fill in more details with
later posts.
The trip was
to celebrate my daughter’s 16th birthday. I traveled with two teenaged girls and an 8
year old. Next time I will definitely go
back to Art of Animation Suites. One
bathroom was not enough!
We had
fantastic weather, and the only one who was sunburned was of course, me.
I have
decided that Port Orleans French Quarter has the absolute BEST transportation
of any resort! Having only one stop, a
small resort, and not sharing a bus meant we always had a seat. Even dealing with a super large Special Needs
stroller didn’t make too much of a difference.
The only thing that would have made a difference is if the rented
stroller had a locking mechanism to keep it folded while on the bus. Each bus driver kept telling us that we could
keep it open and they could strap it in, but that seemed silly to us to strap
it in and she not be able to ride!
Some of the
joys of a smaller resort were the little things. Like when teenaged girls thought they needed
a nap mid day and the grand daughter and I thought we should go to the pool or
shop instead. Only took two minutes to
walk from our room to either the pool or the snack bar or the gift shop. And the bus stop was only steps away…which
was great on those nights when we were dragging ourselves back to the room!
This trip
was only one week after the horrible gator incident, and we definitely noticed
the heightened awareness of this. All beaches
were closed and roped off, and the signage was much more noticeable. We saw CMs manning the beaches to make sure
no one accidentally ventured in to the roped off area, not even to retrieve a
beach ball that had rolled under the ropes!
We tried new
things and gave a not so favorite place a second chance (regrettably it did not
change our opinion). Over all it was a
great trip. I’m armed with all sorts of
information to help my clients make good choices.
