Day 1 8/18 Arrival Day
This is my first trip report. :) My favorite part of Intercot is reading others trip reports, so I thought I would give it a try. This is our third trip in August. We also went in 2007 and 2009. All times we stayed at the Caribbean Beach. What can I say, we like it there. We also like the dining plan, which was free last time and this time.
Cast:
DH, me, DS (12) and DD (9)
Length of stay 8/18/11 – 8/26/11 CBR
Flew out of Philly, around 11:30 am, plane was waiting to take off for a while, apparently there were 25 planes waiting and ours was 8th. Got into the air around noon and landed at Orlando around 2 ish. Got a text that our Garden Grocer order had arrived, even though we had scheduled it for 7-8pm. Waited a few minutes for Magical Express and we were off! First stop was CBR. Our room was ready, this time we were in Martinique. Found the room, inspected it (I read some bad reports about dirty rooms), looked fine so we headed to DTD. The bus was just pulling up as we got there! That happened quite a few times this week.
We had a reservation at T-rex for 6pm. We went in some of the shops and looked around. Decided to try T-rex around 5:00 since we were hungry. The place was pretty empty. It was pretty cool in there, the dinosaurs looked real. I had the fish tacos, they were okay. I have had better, but it was a neat place to try. We shopped around a bit more and headed back to a huge thunderstorm. They wouldn't deliver our GG order until the thunderstorm was over. Spent the rest of the night unpacking and getting settled.
