Day 4: We wake up early for a final yummy breakfast at Mara, poolside, & some swimming. We clean up & check out, just on time.
Next we head to DTD. It took a little circling, but found a decent spot. It was before noon on a Tuesday. I was surprised at the amount of construction, even though I've been reading about it for months. We still had fun shopping & picking out last minute gifts for our girls.
We ducked into House of Blues for lunch. We had never eaten there before. I guess I thought maybe it would be too adultish for our 3DDs. Turns out that was silly! Lol! Lunch was great. Service, food, and atmosphere- awesome! We then headed to Orlando Int'l for our flight home!
Final thoughts: Overall, a great trip! But, DH & I can have a great time together just about anywhere. Nothing big went wrong, but lots of littleish things went wrong. Rude CMs, poor experience with FP+, poor experience with housekeeping, etc. Nothing major for us, but sure might be for someone visiting for the first time, or had to save up for years for a trip. Disney's decline in customer service left a bad taste in my mouth. It may sound petty, but why ask me if I have been to this resort before? You SHOULD know. I could name several other major hotel chains that ABSOLUTELY would know, and also know that we have celebrated many milestones with them. But, why bother, when Disney has no problem filling rooms, whether they provide good customer service or not? The turnstiles will keep spinning. While I am sure we will be back, because I will want to bring our youngest again before she is "old", it will be awhile. This last trip left me rather disenchanted.
Thank you to everyone who has read my reports!
