YAY! Finally I can write an official TR! I have been back at work for two weeks now, and it is true, you really do get Disney withdrawal. Lol
So. Day one, October 1, 2013.
As you know, we had a flight out of Bradley at 8:00am. I havent flown in about 20 years, so I was worried about, not the flight itself, but the whole getting through security, and getting boarding passes etc.
I was woken up about 4:20am by Danny texting me reminding me to remember the luggage tags. Like I would forget that. Side note: I was lucky to have cleaned out my entire purse, including the little zippy part, because I found the box cutter in there that I used when I worked for Target last winter!
I was a little upset at Tony, because he couldnt find the sonic screwdriver I needed for my costume. Of course, what can you expect when you dont look until 5 min before we have to leave
The only things I still had to pack were personal items that I planned on using that day like shampoo. We were on the road by 4:50am. We had time to stop at Dunkin Donuts for lattés before we left. We made it to the airport with plenty of time to spare. Danny and Scott were there already. Scotts aunt had to work, so they got there at like 5am. By the time we made it through security, which was not that bad, and to our gate, it was a little after 7am. Danny had never flown before, so he was very nervous, but he did a lot better than I thought he would do. The flight was un-eventful, I watched the end of a Manchester United game, and 1.5 episodes of Supernatural, and the flight was over.
I got a little turned around at the Orlando airport, but we were able to figure it out. It took us a little wandering to find the magical express. We had to wait for Tony and Danny to smoke before we checked into ME. This was a trend on this trip. We had to stop at OKW and POFQ before we got to POR.
Scott got a birthday button, because our TA told them it was his birthday, even though it wasnt until the end of October. I was sooooo jealous, since my birthday was just as far away (just in the other direction) and it was a more significant birthday, as I turned 30. It took us a while to find our room, as the lady who checked us in circled the wrong building. We were excited to get the magic bands though! I thought we might but I wasnt sure we would be able to. We got the boring grey, but it was sooooo convenient to use them. We stayed at Magnolia Terrace in Magnolia Bend.
We got to our room at about 12:30pm. After a quick look around, we decided to go to lunch at the Riverside Mill, and then wander around a bit before we headed to DTD.
For lunch, Tony and I got Cajun Chicken Sandwiches. They were a little dry, but the sauce was pretty good. We also got our mugs. I got Purple, Scott got Orange, and Tony and Danny got Green.
Scott got chicken nuggets and Danny got a bacon burger. They both liked them, but they were standard. Nothing to write home about.
We wandered around a bit. The place is HUGE. We didnt even scratch the surface lol.
Of course, Danny couldnt resist Scoot being vulnerable in that hammock
He didnt actually flip him, but he did fake him out lol.
By this time, it was time to move on and go to DTD. We took the boat, of course. Our captian was called Jim. He was entertaining, but not overly corny lol. We saw these crazy car boat things while on the way.
Ok, Next time: DTD! Hope you all are enjoying my first TR! Please feel free to comment and ask any questions!
