Fast forward to now and an adult son. We were originally booked for CBR, but requested a move after hearing about the building work.
Its a much bigger resort with lots of things to do and see.

I loved the bridge, walkways, pool areas, shrubbery, convenience of buses and restaurant and bar etc (we took a preferred/hospitality area room).
We liked it so much, it has now become our resort of choice AFTER our DVC property(Animal Kingdom Lodge Jambo House)


I liked the sound of the fantasmic offering until I read that it was essentially a 'take away' with good seating. TBH, for that price, I'd prefer Mama Melrose OR the dessert party at the tomorrowland terrace at MK ( we did this twice and both loved it.)
Not sure how much it all costs now.
disney just seems to be getting more and more expensive these days.

I do hope you have a great time and tell us how this new fantasmic experience rates.



Oh and forgot to add, we did the horse and carriage ride. It was surreal. So relaxing. Beautiful animal. GO for it!

See more...

lam, thank you and thanks for your experience at POR, sounds right up our street, its good to hear you liked it so much. We are really looking forward to staying there this year. Horse and Carriage ride especially sounds great. Can i ask did you just turn up for that ride or do you have to book up in advance? We are looking forward to the VIP Dessert party at Fantasmic and will let you know what we thought.
