Oh my word!! how did I not know you started a new TR?!! Off to read!
I am here hon, haven't read a word, but I'm here. Going back now to read....
I missed the part in your PTR where you told us your boss upgraded you to first class - that's awesome!!!
Bummer about the Mears bus, we had one too
great start Kathy! happy you didn't have any issues with your flight!
bummer about the Mears bus, hope you got the ME on the way home!
I love the shirt you're wearing in the picture of you!
I totally forgot about the upgrade to first class, nice! I would love to fly first class someday, if I ever go to Hawaii or Alaska, it's gonna have to be first class! I better start saving now!
Yay, Magical Express! Too bad it was a Mears bus, but at least you got the video, right?
Can't wait to read more!
YAY for arriving at Disney !! 99 more days for us !! But what I am most looking forward to is the 21 days until I get this cast off !! Looking forward to reading more !!
Awesome start!! Love that your boss upgraded you to first class - spectacular!!! ANd free luggage... I really should consider that next time - it would probably be cheaper than paying all those baggage fees...
Can't wait to hear how check in went and see your resort.
D~
So cool about the first bit of pixie dust! I don't fly but hear luggage prices are crazy expensive!! So wAit... Y'all have never done me???
Great update!! Hurray for first class!! I am to go with excited to be going over tired. I had to LOL at the phone pic since I know how un phone savvy he is I will not comment on the OKW check in since I know how that went
This trip will also not be the same without you guys. Even Jeff said that he will miss ya. And Heather asked if she would be seeing you....
How nice to have such Royal Treatment with First Class !! Can't believe I will be catching the ME tomorrow morning !!!!!!
I would have yelled at Mark if he was at work that day too and I was his boss. I'm really sorry to hear about his Mom.
Since we were prepared for her passing, Mark was handling it pretty well. He had some unfinished business he had to get done before we left for two weeks, but made the smart choice to leave early.
Talk about an early wake up time. Only going to WDW will we all get up that early.
You are right...there is NOTHING else that would get me up at that ungodly hour.
Amazing boss upgrade to first class? Extra sweet!
He is pretty amazing.
My favorite thing about First Class is the basically private security lane!
That was nice too...it was really quiet in First Class.
Never say no to coffee, especially that early in the morning!
No to coffee are three words you will never hear coming out of this girl's mouth.
LOL, Mark looks just like my Dad does when he's trying to figure out something with his phone!
He is so set in his ways with some things. He just wants a phone that he can talk on...no texting, no email, no internet and now he has all of that and will probably never use it.
Boo, Mears coach! So un-Disney.
That really was so nice of your boss to upgrade y'all to first class. That's a really nice treat!
Glad y'all had safe, uneventful travels to Florida!
Would never happen my friend, even if Mark did stop taking hilarious, hat pics. Tell Mark he did a great job on the title!!
Wow! Early morning is right!! But! Tis better to be in the "Muthaland" early and beyond tired, than it would be to miss an entire day and get there late. That logic is kinda like fuzzy Disney math. Only other Dis brothers and sisters would understand.
I'm with Mark, I am not a big Starbucks fan either. Come to think of it I'm not much of a muffin man (LOL) either.
Enjoying the TR!!!
He might have been "at" work, but if he is anything like me, he wasn't actually doing work.
Actually, in most instances you are probably right; but he had one thing I know he had to get done for a client...but then he probably did nothing but computer games.
It always does.
Yes, and it did on our return trip too.
He is the best!
Mark doesn't like Starbucks, so we stopped at another location (I don't remember the name of it) and we got him a coffee and a muffin.
Kathy, I think the best thing about first class is the special security line and no luggage fees! We were upgraded years ago when Mia's friend worked for AA - we were on the way to London and she surprised us at the airport...great surprise! So happy for you! Your boss is wonderful, but I think it says more about what an asset you've been all these years.
Okay, so I'm with Mark...what is "airplane mode" and when do I turn it on? It's on my iPhone, but I haven't clue either! Love the photo!!
Oh,the fake monorail...makes me feel I've truly arrived and Disney is next stop!
Thanks so much for the update...not like you've a lot of time on your hands! Hope you're not getting sick. Be well!
I am late to the party, Kathy, but at least I found you!
Will be back to read and comment more soon - I don't think I can manage 7 pages, when it's nearly time for bed here.
it is a setting on your phone so you can still use it for music, checking the time, games...just no texting or calling! you turn it on when the door's close or when attendants tell you to turn off your electronics and then switch it back after you land...its a nice feature to have!
All caught up, Kathy!
Sounds like a really wonderful arrival day apart from the ME being a Mears shuttle. I think I remember a comment about your checking in process at OKW, but won't comment any further.
On another note - checking your ticker for the summer, I think we will be there at the same time, but on one of Disney's fine vessels when you are at WDW. I guess we will never work it out.
But be warned ....... August can be VERY crowded and it is HOT! And I do mean REALLY HOT and humid!
Yay for first class....what a great start. Bummer you got a plain old Mears bus though. Wasn't this Mark's first time on ME?? Or do I have you confused with someone else? We got a plain yellow one on our way back to the airport which didn't bother me as much. I thought our Mears bus was much bigger and newer than the ME buses I've been on.
First class sounds like a nice way to start off your trip.
Bummer about the Mears bus. We have never been on ME but I'm considering it for our Feb trip. How did Mark like it?
Oh my word!! how did I not know you started a new TR?!! Off to read!
I contemplated not doing the rest of this TR. There is so much going on with my mother right now, that I can't even think straight. I have never felt so lost in what to do as I do right now. I don't want to bore you with all of the details, but the last call I got about an hour ago was that they were moving my mother from the Nursing Home to a Behavioral Hospital because last night and this morning she was hitting patients, nurses and volunteers. They cannot keep her there under those conditions.
I did NOT having the most "welcoming" castmember I've ever dealt with...
Check-in accomplished
Thank you, Lisa!
