This is a quick post because even though it's about WDW, it
is really just a precursor to a more grand adventure! We had just returned home
on Monday, November 18 from a weekend at WDW, but about 96 hours later, we left
home and drove back down to Florida! We left at about 1:30 am and drove straight through, arriving just before 3:00 pm.
Saturday, November 23
We checked in to Caribbean Beach in the afternoon; it was
our first time staying there over three years because it was undergoing a
pretty extensive refurbishment. Now that the Skyliner is open, it is a great
resort to stay at because it's so convenient to get from there to many other
locations!
After getting settled in the room, we went over to Coronado
Springs for a quick lunch, then spent some time back at Caribbean Beach
wandering around the resort. This is where we stayed the week that we got
married, so we have a lot of happy memories at this resort!
We had a late dinner reservation at Trattoria al Forno at
Boardwalk, which was lovely, before calling it a night. We'd been up since 1:00
am, so we were pretty wiped out! However, we are not particularly proud of two
Saturday nights in a row at WDW where all we did was sleep! LOL!

We went over to Disney Springs to get that amazing
vegetarian bratwurst we found the previous weekend, and then over to Port
Orleans French Quarter for beignets. We've been eating beignets there for 25+
years, but this was the first time they had Mickey-shaped beignets at POFQ!
They were SO good!
We drove to Wilderness Lodge to see the beautiful Christmas
tree, and then took an uber over to Grand Floridian to see the Christmas tree
there – neither of the trees had been up the previous weekend, so I was so glad
to have the chance to see them!
We walked over to Polynesian and on our way, I took what I
think it is a pretty cool picture…my family's Walk Around the World brick in
the foreground with the Wedding Pavilion where we renewed our vows in the
background. I love it!
Our friend Dean picked us up at Polynesian and we hung out
for a while before he dropped us off at our car at Wilderness Lodge before we
drove back to Caribbean Beach. From there, we took the Skyliner to Art of
Animation for dinner and then back to POFQ for beignets. Yes! Twice in one day!
That's how good they are!
We ended the night taking pictures at Caribbean Beach
because they have done such a wonderful job with the redesign! It was always a
nice resort, but it is super pretty now!

We were up early to check out and go on a random but
critical errand to buy a new charger for my laptop before driving to Port
Canaveral for a Disney Cruise!
Happy Tails to you!
