Reid Disney Report
Thursday 21 June
Had a day off work but the rest were at school and work.
We had a last minute change of plan and everyone finished at lunch-time
This allowed us to visit a sick uncle in the oncology ward.
We went out for a carvery supper and dropped off the car.
At 9.30pm I received a voicemail saying our Aberdeen - Paris flight had been cancelled.
Could not get anyone on the phone but the Air France agents were already on the task.
An email later told us that our Aberdeen - Paris - Orlando itinerary was now Aberdeen - Amsterdam - Detroit - Orlando.
After an initial OMG we enjoyed the bonus of Delta rather than Air France and Immigration at Detroit which was 20 mins rather than the scrum of Orlando.
The wi-fi connection at Old West West was extremely slow...could not even iMessage.
By the way OKW is just perfect. We are in building 62 which is across the road from Hospitality House. On-line checkin was a dream and we took 10 mins from arrival to heading to our home for the next 2 weeks.
We last until 9.30pm local time before hitting the hay. Given we had been up since 10.00pm Florida time on Wednesday we had lasted quite well.
Friday 22 June
First laugh of the holiday was we had set an alarm for 7.00am on Jack's iPod Touch.
I was thinking I had not slept long but was prodded by Diane to get up for a shower.
Then got dressed. It was then that Diane noticed on her watch that it was 2.00am.
Someone had not changed the time This kept the rest of the party in good humour throughout the day
After some further sleep and breakfast in the room we were off to EPCOT.
Lunch today was 4 CS in Sunshine Seasons. 2 Pork, Roast Chicken and Turkey/Ham salad.
We came back to the room later in the afternoon after a stop off at Walmart for wine, breakfast items, fruit juice and water. Listed in order of importance!
We took the ferry over to DTD and had supper at Earl of Sandwich. All the cookies, brownies etc were taken to go and will no doubt be added to throughout the week.
I phoned ICT support and the wi-fi has improved a little.
