We're going to Disney World!!
Day 1 - in bed by midnight, asleep around 12:30 up at 3:30, showered and last minute packing including laying out clothes for DH who walked in the door at 4 AM from work (Yup, he was up at 7 AM, worked 2 jobs with a short break in the middle, and got home at 4 AM!) Woke the kids, got their whiney butts dressed and we were at the airport by 4:45. We are lucky enough to live under 3 miles away, go to the end of our street, take a right, airport on the left! I packed the car before bed. All we had to add was the bag with DH's shower stuff in it since we would normally have just thrown it in the carry on, but had to pack in the checked bags instead.
Left Buffalo just 25 mintues late but arrived just 10 minutes late Atlanta. We found our way to the next gate and then saw it was not leaving until 20 miniutes later (Now we have an hour) good, but the girls and DH and I are all tired. The boy slept just fine!) Announcement that the plane we are waiting for is running late. Another announcement that is is still late. We finally board an hour later then the late time posted.
FInally touch down in Orlando, an hour and 45 minutes later than planned. Find Magical Express easily and check in and get in line for the bus 20 minutes later! Only wait 10 minutes for the bus, and we are the first to board. We only sit for another 10 minites and we are on our way!
We get checked in by 1 PM, and our room is ready, but she moves us to a first floor room instead, so while the room is ready, she still needs to move the crib, but we don't need that to hit the parks LOL! Small snag while trying to figure out what to do with the check for WeGoShop, but on our way! We run our bags to our room, repack the "park bag" and head for MGM.
The bus ride is not too long. We remember to grab a map, but forget to grab a times guide, so we have no idea when things are showing. As we get in the gate another family approaches us with tehir double stroller rentel. Theya re leaving and no longer need it. The girls happily jump in! Can't quite get a hang of the map scale, so we spend too much time back tracking a bit. We do get to meet a few characters: Donald Duck, JoJo and Golioth, See Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable, but can't justify the wait time to meet them. We try to see Socrerer Mickey, but quickly run out of time in the line to visit him. We jump out of line and head to out 3:40 reservations at 50's Prime Time Diner where Cousin Susan searves us Meatloaf, Fried Chicken, yummy mashed potatoes and corn washed down with super thick milk shakes. P gets "yelled at" plenty for having his elbows on the table. We witness more than one (Mostly teenagers) get sent to the corner for one thing or another. Another was punished by having to stand up and sing "I'm a Little Teapot". We opt for 2 desserts to go (Instead of the FOUR we were supposed to get) and head towards the main gate to catch the parade at 5. I get all Misty watching the girls reactions! It rains, but not terribly so, and the sun is still out. We decide it is probably a good time to head back to the hotel, then we can properly unpack and let the girls swim a bit, too.
They willingly get in bed by 8:30 and everyone is alseep by 9, except me, who manages to not only unpack and hang everything in the closet (We brought most of our things on hangers) but get all the freshly delivered food into the cooler and order fresh towels in the bathroom, too. I call for a wake up call, then fall into bed by 11.
Day 2: Magic Kingdom Kamakazee!!!! Coming next!!
