Hello! We booked our trip a while back (June or July) but I’m new to finding this thread.
We’ll be at CBR Feb 18-24. It’ll be me, DH, our DD4, and my MIL and FIL. 2 separate rooms; I like my in-laws but one bathroom for 5 people is tough!
Of the 5 of us I’m the only one who’s been to WDW before, but my most recent trip was in 2008 and off-site. So lots to catch up on!
I think we’re overall in pretty good shape. Flights are booked (we’re doing SW and are on the same flights but 3 separate bookings due to SW saying discounted fares weren’t available for a party of 5 people, but they were for 3, then 1 and 1, with the last itinerary booked winding up being the cheapest, but unable to be applied to anyone else for credit). We booked during the September sale, I think it was, and costs have consistently risen for us since then, even on the Black Friday sale.
We still need transport from MCO, will probably do Mears.
We have 4-day single park tickets. Plan is to do each park one day with a full break day in the middle. I got together a massive Gdoc of restaurant and attraction suggestions. Tried to break it up by day but I think it’s still a bit overwhelming! DH and in-laws are looking it over. Tentative plan is to do one sit-down meal a day to give us all a break. DD4 is no longer napping so doubt we’ll head back to the resort for mid-day breaks. We’ll just see if we luck out with her crashing in the stroller as needed.
I’ve watched ride videos with DD4 so have an idea of what she’d like to do. However she’s never been to an amusement park at all (Legoland Discovery Center is the closest thing, but that’s much smaller than one of the parks) so not sure how she’ll do with everything.
Today was our ADR day. I was able to get Hoop Dee Doo review but had to settle for category 2, which I feel like isn't a very good view at all. I will keep looking for main floor. But I was able to get everything else I wanted except SciFi at the time I wanted. I have it for 10:50am and will keep looking for a better time.
I almost forgot about the ADR's. Luckily, I remembered at 7:05am Florida time.
thank you!!
We were in Category 2 last year and I thought it was wonderful (but it was my first time there). To me the venue is small and the cast moves around so much they were always coming right by our table. My son was selected as a special washboard player too.Today was our ADR day. I was able to get Hoop Dee Doo review but had to settle for category 2, which I feel like isn't a very good view at all.

I'm glad to hear that category 2 was a good view. We had category 3 seats the only other time we went to Hoop Dee Doo and they were along the railing. Our grandchildren who were ages 5 and 3 at the time especially enjoyed the swivel seats and the show. That was about ten years ago.We were in Category 2 last year and I thought it was wonderful (but it was my first time there).

Just joining in! We’ll be staying at Pop Century Feb 25-Mar 6.
Looking forward to Flower & Garden Festival; I hope it actually starts March 1st
