I only took a few pics of our food, and they are not loaded onto my computer, so there won't be any on my trip report. Sorry.
Our trip consisted of me, DH 34 and DS 10. We have been to WDW a few times before and every trip just gets better and better.
Day 1-Friday September 19, our travel day:
I worked 6-10 AM, then had to go to school to take a test that I was missing while away. I went home, and finished up packing. I realized I never printed out our rental car confirmation, and I was pretty certain I had rented our car from Hertz. I had my husband on the phone with them over 30 minutes trying to find the reservation, when I realized I would have to go back to work to get the print out. 25 minutes down the mountain and I got the email and printed it out. It wasn't Hertz, it was Alamo. I have terrible credit thanks to my husband (sorry, that's another story) and it's hard renting a car without a credit card or a security deposit. But Alamo came through! As long as you are flying into and out of the same airport and you can show them your return itinerary, you're all good!
So, we got on the turnpike around 4 PM to drive to Philly. I dropped my husband and son off with the luggage so we wouldn't have to shlep it on the bus to the airport, and I parked the car. We checked in, and sat and waited. Because of my fiasco with the rental car, we didn't have a chance to eat. I got Tyler (DS 10) Burger King and DH pizza. Around 7:30'ish our flight took off and we were headed for Orlando.
My husband and son got the luggage and we headed to the Alamo counter. The guy in front of me was arguing that he wanted a brand new car, and kept asking a million questions about the make and models of the cars available. I get to the front of the line and that's when I find out I need my return itinerary to get the rental car. So I go back upstairs and a very nice woman in lost luggage from Southwest prints out my return itinerary. Thanks whoever you were!!! You were very friendly and professional, even at 11 at night!
I go back to the rental counter and wait for my guy to get done with who he is helping. He told me not to get back in line since I already waited at least half an hour. So he is done with the people he is helping and then he helps me. We get our paperwork and go pick our car. Tyler picked the car, it was a nice dark gray Chevy ahhhh I can't think of it right now. It's a full size car....It will come to me later.
So we drive to All Star Sports and get checked in. By the time I unpack and we hit the hay, it is 2 AM. Day 1 is over and we have arrived safe and sound.
