Disney Site Tour - Part 2
After touring Disney's Art of Animation resort, we headed over to Disney's Caribbean Beach resort.
Double Sinks (me in the mirror)The Christmas TreeThe AMAZING gingerbread carousel - it actually moves.
First stop was one of the newly renovated standard rooms that sleep 5!
2 Queen Beds
Seating area by day...
Sleeper by night!
Next, we got to see one of the Pirate rooms.
2 Full size beds
Those crates are drawers, and the barrel is hiding a refrigerator.
Privacy Curtain separating the sleeping area and the vanity/bathroomDouble sinks make mornings easier.
Once we were done with the rooms, we headed to Old Port Royale to check out the food court, gift shop, pool and arcade.
And finally...the Christmas Tree:
Next up, was Disney's Beach Club Resort, although they both have "Beach" in their names, Disney's Beach Club Resort is quite different from Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort.
Disney's Yacht Club Resort
The conference center at Yacht Club.My site tour concluded here. Most of the other travel agents went back to their cars over at Art of Animation, but I took advantage of my proximity to Hollywood Studios and walked over to check out the Star Wars Launch Bay that just opened up this week. If you follow us on Facebook, chances are you've already seen the pictures. I'll write a full review once I gain access to the special meet and greet area for Disney Visa card holders..I was about an hour late for that today.
I hope you enjoyed the photo tour, please feel free to ask me any questions about these or any other resorts.

Disney Site Tour - Part 1
I got to go on a 5 hour tour today of a few different resorts at Walt Disney World. Although I've stayed at 2/3 of them, it was nice to see the different room types, and all the updates that have been made recently. Of course, it was also a huge plus that I got to see all the amazing Christmas decorations that are up around the resorts. Here is the tree at Art of Animation, isn't it fun?
Since pictures usually speak louder than words, I'll go ahead and post most of the pictures I took today. Please note, I took them all with my iPhone, while on the move.

There are a few varieties of t-shirts, for adults and kids. There is an annual passholder exclusive t-shirt as well. There is also a decorative ornament, and a phone case that can be personalized (available at the new D-Tech location in Tommorrowland Light & Power Co.)
Here's the locations of the best places to find each item at the Magic Kingdom Park during the party.

Disney Dream Enhancements coming soon
There are some exciting new experiences coming to the Disney Dream this fall. The kids (ages 3-12) will have newly themed area in Disney's Oceaneer Club inspired by the Star Wars saga. Kids will be transported to a far away galaxy at Star Wars: Millennium Falcon, a Force filled play area inspired by the spacecraft from the legendary saga. Kids will join the Rebel Alliance in an epic battle of good vs. evil. There will be Star Wars themed crafts, games and activities. Episodes from the Disney XD animated series, "Star Wars Rebels" will play on a large screen, and there will be gaming stations featuring action-packed adventures.
There will be a new shipboard version of the popular Jedi Training Academy experience that invites young Jedi hopefuls to learn lightsaber moves from a Jedi Master. They can then use the Force in a final test against the evil Darth Vadar.
Another new addition to the Ocaneer Club will be based on Disney Infinity. In the Disney Infinity Toy Box area, children can experience a whole new way of playing together with exciting virtual experiences and immersive activities. Customized, on-screen adventures will bring to life characters and stories from across The Walt Disney Company. The complete set of Disney Infinity character figures will be on display for creative inspiration and available for gameplay. Kids will be able to unlock exclusive Disney Cruise Line content that they can continue to enjoy when playing Disney Infinity at home.
Princesses and Pirates will have the opportunity for a special makeover at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, coming to Deck 5 midship. This very special salon will offer aspiring princesses and knights ages 3-12 the chance to transform into royalty with the help of a fairy godmother-in-training. On pirate pa
rty night the boutique will become The Pirates League where swashbuckling pirates of all ages will have the opportunity to unleash their inner buccaneer.
The kids aren't the only ones getting new treats. Deck 13 will include a new water feature, Satellite Falls, a circular splash pool with benches and a gently falling rain curtain that provides cool comfort. Around this upper deck, adult guests can soak up the sun in loungers or relax in the shade under a canopy.
Families will be able to enjoy the new specialty sweet shop, Vanellope's Sweets & Treats. The shop will satisfy the sweet tooth of cruisers of all ages, with handmade gelato and ice cream, an assortment of candy, and delectable novelty treats for purchase. New to Deck 11, the smell of freshly baked waffle cones and candy will linger from the specialty store's two entrances, inside Cabana's restaurant and outside by the pool deck. Resembling the whimsical candy land of the Sugar Rush race car game in "Wreck-It Ralph," the sweet shop's decor features nods to the film, including a race track and checkerboard patterned floor, gas pump-style gumball dispensers, Vanellope's race car and King Candy's throne.
