So we flew out on Monday, BA business class (got the 2 for 1 offer ). Really great flight, very relaxed, slept most of the time.
Landed at MCO at 15.25, bit of a queue through immigration (a Virgin flight also just arrived), picked up the car from Budget (did the preregistration so went straight to the garage, all sorted within 5 minutes!)
The heat did get us straight away, it took all of 3 minutes outside in Florida to feel all sweaty and gasp for airco!
Didn't go to the parks the first day, just stayed in our resort, the Saratoga Springs Resort. As predicted, massive thunderstorms in the evening, pretty!
Yesterday we went to DHS, got fast passes for Toy Story Mania (big massive lines for that one straight away), met up with some of our favourite cast members who we got to know a bit on our last trip. Did Tower of Terror which was a walk on, Indiana Jones, ... Park was not very busy at all.
In the evening we had dinner at Citricos for our wedding anniversary. Getting there was interesting through the torretional downpour, it was like powershower to get to the car! Loved our meal there. I had the tuna carpaccio, filet sicilian and warm chocolate banana torte and DH had quail tortelini, veal shank and trio of ice cream.
Today, we went to the M first thing in the morning. We arrived 30 minutes before opening to see the opening show. It's never been this calm when we've been before. The park felt nearly deserted. For the Haunted Mansion, there was only one other family with us in the stretching room. Had late breakfast at Ohana with Stitch. Loads of fun!
Will be going back to theMK later today for the fireworks.
