Hello from the Nashville airport. I am traveling to WDW with my BFF for a trip we planned about three weeks ago. We are frequent visitors but haven’t traveled together in a bit. It’s so easy to go with a Disney pal! I like to travel with my dh and dd17 but they take a lot more energy.
We are calling this an upside down trip and hope to try a lot of new things! For starters, we’re staying at CBR, which is new to us. Just got a room ready text. We’re in Aruba on a first floor.
And documenting a trip report is a first for me. I’ve read and enjoyed countless others on this forum and hope to add to the community! But I feel a little self conscious about it too.
We hope to go to Typhoon Lagoon. Original
Plan was do that tomorrow but it’s looking like it will rain all day so we’ll pivot to Saturday.
I’ve never been to La Cava and it’s on our list to have a drink and chips/guac/queso tomorrow (am I really a liner if I haven’t done that before?)
Other firsts- Topolinos for dinner (we’ve done breakfast), low key touring plans, and just relaxing and enjoying ourselves.
Our plane finally arrived and we will board soon! Thanks for following along!
Have a wonderful trip! It sounds like you have some awesome stuff to look forward to I enjoy reading trip reports so thank you in advance for sharing yours!
Side note and not trip related but we got to the airport this morning at 11 hoping to go standby on a flight at 1145. We didn’t make that and then our 300 flight has a two hour delay. So we’ve been here almost 6 hours. We’ve walked past every gate. We’ve shopped (which I never do) and I bought a shirt at the Draper James store.
Oh my word, 6 hours! That’s about how long it takes us to drive to Disney! You poor things, I hope the rest of the trip makes it all worth it. Have fun!
No seriously - we live for this! When we can’t be there we want to hear from people like you who are. So post away! We’ll be watching you. Always watching
We made it to Caribbean Beach! I’m happy with our room. It’s closest to riviera skyliner and on the first floor. Owners locker has been requested and we’re going to bed soon so we can be ready for a long day tomorrow. We come home Sunday early afternoon so really just two full days.
Once we finally left, everything went so smoothly. It was a great flight, we had no issues getting our visitor toll pass and picked a car from the hertz gold aisle (that I booked on Hotwire for a great price). No traffic, quick Publix stop, and we were here lickety split.
This resort always seems so big when I go over it on the skyliner. At the moment we are thinking of using the bus stop at the riviera so we don’t have to do the internal loop but we shall see what actually happens.
Thanks for your encouragement!! I’ll do my best to give a good report!!
Unfortunately, frozen is down so we went to soarin, which went down also. But it’s dry here and we’re going to give it 10 minutes before we head over to guardians.
Sorry the attractions aren’t cooperating this morning. On the bright side, if FEA comes up after GotG and you get on that you should be in great position to RD La Cava.
I enjoy reading trip reports so thank you in advance for sharing yours!
