Its taken me a while to get around to doing this trip report as its from 15th September - 7th October 2017.
Our itinerary is as follows
Fly out to Mco from Gatwick 15th sep, Board Disney Fantasy 16th September for a 7 night Caribbean cruise stopping at Cozumel mexico, Grand cayman, Falmouth Jamaica and Castaway cay.
23rd september check in to the Yacht club, 2nd, 3rd and 4th October stay at Universals Hard Rock hotel then back to the Yacht club until 7th October. We also had the Dining plan (table service) for the first time - it took us ages to decide on the places to dine and was excited to book at our 180 day mark.
Me, my mum and brother as always on this trip, it would be our first time on a 7 night cruise and our first time staying at the Yacht club.
When we were planning this trip we booked the Caribbean beach resort ( as we have since every 2 years since 2004) but then the rumours started about building works for Gondolas etc, of course the travel agents had no clue about any works but from being on here and other forums i was able to give the travel agents the information and eventually Disney said yes there would be works going on, so the choice was stay at CBR and receive a $75 gift card for each day of our stay or move to Port Orleans riverside with no charge.
Our only issue with POR was whether we could get a roll away bed, the cast members my travel agent spoke to could not confirm whether they were available at that resort so they offered us the Yacht club for £546 extra which we decided to go for which was a great choice with a room containing 2 queen beds and a day bed - perfect for us.
Will start Day 1 when i work out how to add photos, added them 3 times and each time the final photo i add replaces every other photo
