On a Mission to Find Chicken
August 10th
We were up bright and early at 6:20. We got ready and went down to the continental breakfast, which consisted of donuts, toast, fruit, cereal, and bagels. How lovely. I just got some cereal and fruit. I cannot remember what Mum got. Im sure you dont need to see pictures of cereal, so I didnt take any. Trust me, there will be MUCH better food in this TR.
Mum NEEDS to have her tea in the morning and she found some tea bags. Just no hot water was in sight. These two cute little British people asked for some hot water. I was jealous of their accents but I was happy they asked because then I would have to put up with Ms. Grumpy Gills all day because she didnt have her tea. Thank you kind British people!
We left at 9 that morning.
I think we should just go to Six Flags...
I mean, it would have been a shorter ride and lets be real people, Six Flags is MUCH better than Disney.

IM KIDDING IM KIDDING! If that ever came out of my mouth, someone would have to bring me to therapy.
I guess it rained at some point because I took this cool artsy rain picture.
Anyways, we had a pretty uneventful ride, until I saw a sign for Chick Fil A. I freaked out. Guys, I am OBSESSED with Chick Fil A. Like, I could eat it every single day of my life. I mean, that chicken is sososososo good. It is my favorite fast food place ever and I am so sad we dont have any up in MA. And guess what? Mum had NEVER eaten at Chick Fil A before this trip!! I dont know how she lived her life without that amazing chicken and those yummy waffle fries. And dont get me started on those shakes because this whole update will be about how much I love Chick Fil A. Oh wait. It is about how much I love Chick Fil A. I just totally forgot this was the DISboards. Not some Chick Fil A appreciation board. This is getting to be ridiculous. Whatever. It is MY trip report so I can type whatever I want, even if I just ramble on and on about chicken all day. I just realized I did that
ANYWAYSSSSS, we got off at exit 77a (I write down stupid things) in Maryland and we were on the search for a big sign that looks like this:
But instead, we got lost. Mum was yelling I CANT BELIEVE IM DOING THIS FOR CHICKEN! Lets just say we drove like 5 miles, made about 10 u-turns and then I finally decided to look for it in our gps. It was about 2 miles away so we drove there and I SAW IT
on the other side of the road. So we had to make another u-turn. So basically, if you are looking for this Chick Fil A off of the highway, you will never find it, unless you have a gps. Mum just didnt understand yet getting that lost would be worth it for this amazing meal that we would soon have.
We finally found a parking space because it was PACKED there. We parked right next to the truck that says EAT MOR CHIKIN. I was happy.
We went inside and ordered.
I got the 8 piece chicken nugget with waffle fries of course and a cookies & cream shake. It was so delicious and so worth it.
Mum got the 3 piece chicken strips with waffle fries and a vanilla shake.
Here is all of our yummy food:
We both rate our meals a 5/5. Mum was very impressed and I was like SEEEE??? Wasnt it worth getting lost? I guess
She just didnt want to say that it totally was.
She was also very impressed with the service. The employees were so nice, and they took your trash and have you refills. Mum really liked that and Chick Fil A is now her favorite fast food place. I got her hooked! What can I say, I know Im an awesome daughter.
After our bellies were filled with chicken, we headed back out.
Went through Delaware, and then we made it to Virginia. And we were about to lose our minds. We were stuck in traffic for TWO HOURS. I called my grandmother up and told her and she said Mitt Romney was in Virginia and that might have been the reason. Its too bad we didnt see him so I couldve yelled at him and told him he made us two hours behind.
I seriously couldnt take it, so Mum and I decided to scream. She would count to three and then we would scream as loud as we could to get our feelings out, about all of the traffic. It worked quite lovely.
Was just in traffic for over two hours. #getmeouttahere
But had a few dance parties so it's all good. #imnuts
Finally when we made it out of that mess, we stopped at a Target to use the bathroom and stopped at a gas station called WaWa. We just loved the name of it, I dont know why. Maybe cause it is pretty fun to say. And they had cheap gas, so Mum liked that.
We finally made it to our hotel in Wilson, NC around 8:30.
We got up to our room
and pretty much collapsed on the beds because we were both so tired, but we were also very hungry. There was a pizza place called Pinos Pizza right in front of our hotel, so we went there. There wasnt much else around except a Burger King, and a Cigar Shop, so that was pretty much our only choice.
We went there and ordered a large cheese pizza with onions. We waited about 20 minutes for it and then brought it back to the room.
It was ok, not the best. It was kind of greasy and had way too many onions.
We tried to put the TV on while we ate our pizza but discovered there was no remote. We had no luck with our TVs in our rooms so far! It was a pain to have to get up and change the volume or channel, but we were only there for one night, so it didnt really matter.
Got to NC and at the hotel now. Heading to WALT DISNEY WORLD TOMORROW!!!
We went to bed around 10:30. I was really excited and there were a ton of people being loud outside our room, so it was really hard for me to fall asleep. So I fell asleep around 11 and I could not stop thinking about that I was going to be in the happiest place on Earth the next day
no not that place in South Carolina
