Dis Friends are the best friends! A perfect trip in so many ways even without a ride on Dinosaur!
Welcome Everyone!
My name is Caroline and I have been to Walt Disney World many times! I usually travel with my daughter and you can find many of our trip reports in my signature. I am a RN by day and spend as much time traveling as I can! I have met so many wonderful people on the Dis and have traveled with a handful of them! It has been so much fun meeting up and spending time together at our favorite place!
This trip took place from 12/7-12/11/23 at Coronado Springs Resort in the Gran Destino tower!
I was meeting Susan @suse66! I was really excited to spend 4 nights in the bubble celebrating all things Christmas with a wonderful Dis friend.
Susan and I will be writing this together. I am starting the report since I arrived earlier in the day.
My flight was scheduled to leave at 5:15am. Our weather was actually cooperating and it was something I didn’t have to worry about at all.
My husband dropped me off at the airport around 4:15am. I was able to drop off my luggage and get through security very quickly. I was sitting at the gate by 4:30am.
My flight boarded and took off right on time. This was a wonderful start to the trip.
We arrived in Minneapolis before 6:30am. I decided to try and change my 9:15 flight to the 7:20am since I arrived in enough time and the gate was close to where I was.
Well, this went very smoothly and I was switched to the earlier flight and my luggage was getting added to the flight. I got the notification that my suitcase was on the plane before we took off.
This flight didn’t cost any more and I still had an aisle seat same as the other one! Yay things were going my way so far!
The flight took off on time and I watched The Barbie Movie. I loved this movie! It made me laugh and cry all at the same time!
Ryan Gosling stole the show. He was a great Ken and so fun to watch!
The flight was uneventful and we were in Orlando at our gate by 11:30am. I jumped on the fake o rail and headed to baggage claim. My suitcase came off the carousel quickly and soon I was getting my first Lyft ride.
I checked the license plate and was off to Gran Destino. I had a very nice driver. We talked about being empty nesters now and how nice it is to meet a friend at Disney!
The weather was very nice and soon I was entering the beautiful lobby at GDT. I love this place and it was looking very festive.
A nice CM came up to me with an IPad to check me in. She told me my room was ready! This was so nice especially since it was only 1230pm. This was such a perfect day!
Our room was on the 3rd floor. At first I was a little bummed because I had requested a high floor, however, our room was amazing! It was a corner room at the end of the hall. It was a little bigger than a regular room and we had a beautiful water view out of two windows!
It was perfect! Are you getting the theme here! Haha
Room pictures!
I organized the room a little and got ready to head out to Epcot.
I had thought about going over to Universal today but decided to stay at Disney.
My plan was to get some food. I was starving. I had a few cashews and a small bag of sun chips. I needed food.
