Hello to all!
Just booked CBR for Nov 21-27 for myself, wife, daughter (14) and son (11) - I was surprised to find all CBR rooms initially sold out already (except pirate rooms which we didn’t want) and originally had us at AoA, but kept checking over the last few days and got lucky grabbing a preferred 2 queen at CBR that had opened up last night.
This particular trip we are beginning at and giving Universal a try for the first time ever, doing 2 nights and 2 park days there with express passes for quicker ride access. We are super devoted to Disney, so it will be interesting to compare and contrast the two park experiences.
Then 6 nights and 5 park days at WDW with hoppers.
Our last WDW visit was March 6-14, 2020. It was such an amazing trip with so many highlights and Disney Magic moments happening that I don’t know if we will ever top it. Not to mention we were there a mere 48 hours before WDW completely shut down due to Covid! We were some of the last to see Disney operating normally and pray it someday gets back to that again.
We have never been during Thanksgiving week so with the holiday and the 50th anniversary kicking off I am anticipating large crowds. This may be the trip for my four pack to actually slow down while in the parks and take in more details other than hitting every ride possible and meeting all the characters (which we know is still not an option at this point anyway).
Regardless, we are looking forward to it. Expectations will certainly be different from our last trip but I also know there are many different ways to enjoy WDW. Definitely not nearly as much advanced planning as I am used to.
