Write a TR update

 

[PADISFAM]

Alarm goes off (& it was not Mickey or Stich calling .........YET!) at the very early hour of 4am…………not that I slept much anyway!

Get everyone up & moving & we are off to the airport

We flew AirTran--& had booked prior to the gas/airline prices going , flight was uneventful & we’re off

I got ‘heckled’ in the Atlanta Airport--(wearing Penn State sweatshirts ) a gal walks by & says ‘Go Bucks!’…………….well ......let me tell you ‘missy’ PSU just beat the Bucks the weekend before HA! DH & tells me we are in SEC country---we will get ‘heckled’ being PSU fans

Two of the boys on the plane

Here is a lovely sunrise picture from the air after leaving Atlanta

We arrive at MCO & head to the ME counter! We are ALMOST there! Not too much of a line--behind a very nice group of people that flew out of PIT with us as well & it turns out they are from the same city as we are! We had a lovely chat in line …….aaannnnd……………. we’re next!

My group comes back together & we are FIRST in line for our ME bus (could be a bad thing)………..nope! Less than 2 minutes & we are heading on our way.

First stop POP

then CS

Then AKV

Some pics

AND………… it was sunny & 70 degrees upon arriving-----pish, posh on those cold weather nay-sayers!

Great update PAD...I am glad to hear your plane ride to Orlando was uneventful and that you only had a short wait for the ME bus! I can't wait to read all about MNSSHP

Hecklers!
Seriously
Although just thinking
"HA! We are going to Disney" probably renewed your joyous spirit!

Great pics!..........Welcome Home!

I'm not surprised about hecklers. DS deals with them all the time in WDW when he's wearing his Yankees cap. Those Red sox fans!!

 

[HARASW]

I am so looking forward to reading your next post. It's always nice to have a good start to your trip!

 

[coles1mom]

Nice picture show with my morning coffee.

70 degrees is a nice way to start.

 

[PADisFam2]

Enough with the travel stuff....get to MNSSHP....that's when the real fun starts.

I also want to see day 2 at Animal Kingdom and DTD!!!

WE DO TOO!
Mr. Pad, I think you need to take the kids on an all day outing, so PAD can get the details written without distractions.

I would recommend, breakfast out at Bob Evans, a short visit to Chuck E Cheese, then the indoor Family First spot, (you can all eat lunch there) maybe a brief stop off at the mall to pick up Mommy some of her favorite candy, you get the idea....... I am sure you can keep the brood busy for a good four hours or so, right? Do your part! Help us all!

 

[CJsMom]

Great start - love the sunrise pictures and those pictures of the AKL!!

 

[TyTyandMickey]

I check the family in……..& I receive our KTTW cards……..uh oh……….our DDP is not listed on our KTTW cards! ‘I‘m sorry, it doesn‘t seem to be listed on your reservation'. 'ACK!' ....... ‘Not a problem’, says Jeannine. ‘I will make a phone call & cut you new cards’……whew! Jeannine!

This takes a few extra minutes, so Jeannine gives the boys coloring books & crayons & off they go to be little & color ……….we finish up with check-in & Jeannine says check in is after 4, we can call later to determine if our room is ready.

Off to lunch at Mara…………standard fare of mac & cheese & burgers & DH had fried shrimp & Zebra Domes

After lunch we are walking through the resort

Suddenly DH says……….‘turn around’………‘huh?’………‘turn around’……..‘what?’

We are standing here

DH says ‘there goes our luggage’…………….sure enough bell services wheeling along behind me w/ our luggage.

We follow him & our KTTW cards work

& check out the time

The scene on the shower wall:

& a Mickey Towel

On our bed

View from our room

Ok, ok, here is MNSSHP

 

[PADISFAM]

We take a little nap cause we got into our resort early

So we are all rested up……….step out onto the balcony & it is still sunny & rather warm……..

We get ready for the Par-Tay & decide to wear long sleeves under our costumes ………just in case………..

Here we are on our way

& a shot of the new Bay Lake Towers construction

Arriving at MK
DS4 decided he did not want to be in the picture

note the LGMH on the back of the stroller (left side)

'aww......shucks boys, we can’t take balloons back to our resort ……so here ya go………a picture to remember'

It’s getting a bit chilly……..but……….we’re in Florida…….really…….how cold could it get?

 

[snowwhite325]

Your view is absolutely gorgeous All the boys look great in their jerseys...even if they are patriots ones

I can't wait to hear how the rest of the party goes

 

[turning40withMickey]

Excellent update, PAD!

Costumes look great.......hmm......don't seem to see YOURS yet...
AKL looks absolutely gorgeous!

And you managed to get a nap.....
with three boys......


I love the way your littlest is watching big brother to get the photo gesture just right! And, I noted, already has spinning light thingy in hand
no need to purchase outrageously overpriced one since you brought it from home, smart woman!
