Jim & John's Junket

Tuesday, February 5, 2013

Disney welcomed us with open arms, as we arrived at Walt Disney World Caribbean Beach Resort, met by friend and 9-year Disney Cast Member, Paul Fisher. After an easy check in, Paul helped us unload Magellan II and move into our "Pirate Themed" room. To say the least...Arrrrrr...we were extremely surprised! You'll see the picture below and note that Disney hasn't missed a trick in theming our Caribbean Room. Our refrigerator is within a barrel, our chest of drawers are really chests, the beds are ships, and Johnny Depp is overseeing all our adventures here!!

We then went to lunch at Port Royal with Paul, before heading out into our first park...Epcot. Transportation speedily took us to our destination, and we headed right for Jim's first visit to "Soarin'" This is a MUST SEE and experience. Next we walked right onto the Seas adventure and saw the amazing REAL sea life close up in their aquarium. We used a new app from Disney called the "Disney Experience" to secure reservations for dinner in the Italian pavilion...Via Napoli for 8:30. (This also worked out great)...and we then headed for visits in Canada, Great Britain, France, Morocco, Japan, United States, and finally Italy. We really enjoyed the presentations at Canada, France and the United States.

Then, it was time to eat....we enjoyed an appetizer of fresh mozzarella, basil & tomato...followed by an amazing wood grilled pepperoni pizza and of course....shared a dessert of pistachio ice cream. All HIGHLY recommended!
