Disney Dream Day 5

Day 5: Disembarkation Day Morning & Universal Orlando

Like boarding, disembarkation was smooth.  We wish it had hiccups so we could stay on board longer but alas it was not meant to be.  Our breakfast sitting was at 6:45AM!  It gave us enough time to eat, digest, be tempted to put a deposit on a bounce-back cruise (we didn’t but should have), and then meander off the ship.  Our luggage was easy to find, and other passengers on our shared transfer had already called the shuttle so we only waited a few minutes.

NO!  You can't make me!

Our shuttle was the same company from before; the catch was we had to ride with the group to the airport before being dropped at our next hotel.  We actually didn’t mind as it allowed the kids to have a nap.

Cabana Bay Beach Resort, Universal Orlando

I chose this resort because it was right up my alley.  I love themed hotels like this plus it rated highly with the Disney-goers and gave us early access into The Wizarding World of Harry Potter.  We took the first room available.  If we were staying more than 1 night, I might have had issue with our room as it overlooked a construction site (new water park) but we just closed the curtains.

We checked out the property as we walked back to the lobby area for coffee (Starbucks in the hotel!).

If you can't be a unicorn, be a mermaid

We had lunch at City Walk, taking the shuttle there and boat back.

It was like Willy Wonka's factory come to life inside!

So which deck is the Oceaneers Club on?  Oh.

We returned to the hotel just in time to meet Scooby Doo (characters come to the resort!) before spending the rest of the afternoon at the pools.

Who's a good boy?

In the Lazy River

We watched part of Guardians of the Galaxy and then turned in as we had an early start and long day planned the next day.
