GirlsonTour Trip Report 11th October 2007 – 25th October 2007
Coronado Springs Resort and Hard Rock Hotel
Andrea – chief planner, chief of money (for this holiday) and generally chief of everything.
Andy – chief provider of money and unwilling participant of this holiday
Kara – chief spender of money and very willing participant of this holiday due to the fact that Mum and Dad were paying.
Lucy – chief of all red heads and chief moaner (especially in hot weather).
I’m not going to go into great detail about this holiday as I believe that we all eat, drink and enjoy ourselves in similar ways when going on a Disney holiday. So you can expect loads of photo’s and very little commentary!!
8 weeks before leaving Andy “just” mentioned that he wasn’t really looking forward to going – WHAT!! Too late to cancel (and believe me I would have) we (being the females in the family) decided that he would be fine when he got there…how wrong we were!
THURSDAY 11TH OCTOBER
Girls very excited because we could check in at the First class desk!!

Flight from Manchester VS075

Running about 15 minutes late but still landed 30 minutes early at Orlando. Can’t remember what we watched on TV but can recommend those aisles of 2 seats at the back of the plane..loads more space. Do remember that we had "playstation" games on the TV.
Space by the side of seats..

My girls are very easily pleased and got all excited about the eye masks of which there must be at least 16 at home!!

After landing, remembered the advice about not having to do the double baggage drop, however you are only allowed to carry 1 suitcase each so all other suitcases have to go on the conveyor belt again. After carting remaining 4 suitcases with us we might as well done the double drop off for all the suitcases.
For all Virgin travellers with buses to get on the desk has altered to by the ground floor.
Waited for Mears Transport outside the terminal, which has always been very good in the past, however this year after 1 hour of waiting for 3 people the bus driver decided to leave – 50 minutes longer than I would have waited!! Dropped off at B&Y Club and then us.....usual stuff, quick sunbathe, unpack, feed everyone and then decorated room window...
