COMPLETE: Live - Beauty and the Feast - September/October 2019

[orlandoamber]

Following a post-trip food report last year, I’ve decided to go all out and do a live report this year!

We fly direct to MCO on 26th September, staying at Gatwick the night before. It’s just the two of us going again (me (Beauty ) and my boyfriend, W (the Feast )). This is our third trip together (my fifth trip ever, and W’s fourth).

First we are staying at Coronado Springs for a week on the DDP, which we’ve not done before. We booked free QSDP but upgraded to DDP as we want to do Cali Grill brunch which is almost equal to the upgrade cost in one meal! We have a $100 gift card and will waive mousekeeping for another $60; we aim to use them for tips, and possibly some cheeseburger egg rolls and cocktails Then for the remaining nine nights we are in a poolside room at Cabana Bay. We stayed there for two weeks last year and loved it (particularly the Volcano Bay entrance), so it only felt right to return. During this part of the trip we will be focusing on the Universal and Seaworld parks, but we may head back to Disney for a day or two. We’re also doing HHN.
