You guys sound a lot like us - we always try to get that early flight and get up super early to go to the airport! I love your pictures from the plane too!
It does suck! A 6:30am flight isn't too bad though. Strange though, when I have a 6am flight it seems so much worse!
I love trying to get mountain shots when we fly. I don't get to see the other mountains routinely, but when the Rainier is out I see it from my house.
Are there any direct flights from WA to MCO?

we might take the red eye when we go next thanksgiving so we don't loose the entire day, who needs sleep we'll be at Disney!!!
What a sweetheart Josh is to drive your car back and send you alll off on your trip!
Gorgeous mountaintop pictures!!
Of course the girls looks stunning and ready to tackle WDW!
Are there any direct flights from WA to MCO?
yes for certain airlines...we always take Alaska Airline since I HATE layovers and will avoid them at any cost if I can!
How pretty the mountain looks in your pictures!
Yay for arriving in Florida!!!
Love your morning pictures of Mt. Rainer...I miss the mountain view I had in Colorado!
What a good son getting up and taking you to the airport!
Yes, gorgeous pictures! I saw them on my phone last night, and said, hmm okay, then I saw the big version on the PC this morning, and ... wow!
I love how the mountains look like little islands - you sure you don't live in Hawai'i?
Hi Ann, I'm here! Looking forward to hearing about the trip!
I'm also joining in!
we loved staying at POFQ last October...is our favorite resort to date! we were on the 1st floor bldg 4 on the parking lot side, was so quiet and about a 45 second walk to the bus stop, dining room and pool! we will probably stay there on our 2015 trip - staying at AofA when we go in Nov 2013.

we tried a couple times to take the boat to DTD and never did do it
your dinner looks yummy, never eaten there, we usually go to EofS
It is an amazingly nice resort. So small! I would have liked to book there for my next trip, but it was a tad more and as you know from reading my PTR, the fact that the expo is at the resort we will be staying took POFQ out of the running.
Next trip will be fall of 2013. It will be with a group of dis friends (I managed to keep some after this recent trip. ) I don't believe that POFQ is even in the running for us. I wish it were.. but maybe it will be for 2014... wait, that will be a food and wine anniversary trip with dh...so I bet we will try and do an epcot resort. :shock: Oh no! I just realize I am not sure when I will get to go back to my new favorite resort!!!
Normally I think the boat is fine. I am just not sure why it was so full this trip.
And you MUST try WGPE!!! The salmon is among my favorite meals at WDW!
I saw your title and it drew me in.
loved the shot of the mountains from the plane! That view is one of the best parts of flying out of Sea-Tac.
I think you did have a regular DME bus. I'm basing that on the cutout shape on the window of your bus.
agree that POFQ is a good resort. I stayed their when they had the old beadspreads; I prefer the new ones. It's compact size is nice. The night I took the boat from POR to DTD, the line was really long. However, we waited because we had tried to take it on a prior night and it had not been running due to the weather. I wonder if you had a similar situation, with a lot of people who hadn't been able to take it a prior night for some reason. I also noticed it seems like every time I go to DTD is the same time that everybody else is trying to go to DTD.
our thanksgiving trip is with a bunch of DIS friends too (from the scrapbooking threads and will be meeting up with Tink too )
we would love to stay at an epcot resort someday too, but wow a lot of $$
we keep saying we are going to try WGPE, but never make it...EofS is just too tempting for us - excited DLR DTD finally has one!
I don't care for seafood, yup I know a NW girl who doesn't like seafood but know there's other dishes I'd like to try!
POFQ is such a sweet resort. I'm glad we tried it once. It was very convenient to be so close to everything.
food at WGPE looks great. I haven't eaten there in years. I'm game to try but the rest of my family isn't. Maybe I'll have to tag along with you one of those times?
Wow it is crazy how long you had to wait for a boat! Taking boats to DTD is a great perk of POFQ - as long as you can use it lol Loots like you had a great first day though!
