Day One
It was finally the day we went to WDW! Or the day we waited in the most lines. The traffic on the highway, the TSA, the airplane check-in, the Mears (more on that later), and the hotel check-in. Thankfully, these lines were very short.
We got up at 5:00ish, and got all of our stuf together, said goodbye to the cats, and got out the door. Supposedly the TSA lines are very long, so we left a couple of hours early.
And we got through the TSA, and we were sitting at McDonalds with... and hour and fourty-five minutes to spare!
All of that valuable time, wasted!
We could have gotten on a bus at Magic Kingdom, gotten off at EPCOT, walked to DHS, and went on Star Tours with all of that time.
But we aren't in WDW yet! We'll be able to do that soon.
Here's a photo supplement for those of you that skip that boring writing above the photos.
But they don't read this, so they don't know we are making fun of them.
Shh. I won't tell if you won't...
There's my dad, calling my school.
Dad: My son will be out for the next week
School: Your son's mill is out last week?
Dad: My son won't won't be in school for the next week
School: Your gun was in the pool next week?
Dad: (hangs up)
Anyway, at 9:30 we got on the plane, and I put on Monsters Inc. on my iPad. Then, I realized that I brought the broken earbuds.
So, I played Monopoly!
So if there was someone on your flight yesterday, with Oswald ears, 3 pin lanyards, a New York bag, held together with stickers and duct tape, with his hands over his ears, I apologize.
The captain said
"(garbled words"
Which I assumed meant that we were almost in Orlando! I looked down at my Watch, for some wonderful news!
See what I did there? I tricked the 'photo only' people into thinking that that was a Disney photo, but it wasn't! Ha!
We got out, and we were in a different terminal, with no Pepsi!
The world was gonna end!
Those of you who haven't read any other of my trip reports are wondering if there was a typo.
There probably was, but that's not what I'm talking about.
My mom survives on Pepsi.
Most people breathe oxygen, but she breathes Pepsi. She breaks out in hives if someone merely
suggests drinking Coke. But it needs to be Diet Pepsi. So if anyone lives near Disney, and wants to take some Diet Pepsi to the Walt Disney World Swan, you will be rewarded quite handsomely.
Please.
Imagine life without oxygen. Or how about this analogy. Drinking Coke is like breathing carbon monoxide, instead of oxygen, to a regular person.
Continuing on...
We got on the fake monorail (famonorail? fauxnorail? fanorail?), and headed off towards the Mears shuttles.
If anybody is reading this, please settle an argument. Does Mears stand for Mickey Ears, and it is owned by Disney? Or is it something else?
Anyway, we got on a shuttle with two other people, one Disney fan, and her daughter, studying to be an animator. We hoped they would be the only ones on the van.
We were wrong. Oh so wrong.
Then, a man and his (grand?)son got on the van, and the son was talking about the (inferior) DC superheroes, and his (grand?)father was talking to the other two. He was VERY negative. It was like Sadness from Inside Out was on the bus.
"Oh, Disney's so expensive. The robots are so creepy. The workers are too friendly. The hotels are boring. The rides aren't scary enough."
I couldn't take anymore, so I redirected my attention to the newcomers. They had a thick Southern accent, and there was a grandmother, and her grandson. Who was very loud.
He made a very very very high pitched noise every once in a while, that I think our neighbors back in New Jersey heard.
I almost went deaf. My father moved up a couple rows. Cars nearby shifted over a lane. Dogs and cats everywhere ran and hid.
And then he said other phrases that were unusual for a 3-year old.
And then the driver told us that he was dropping us off last. And they were being dropped of right before us. So there was a solid half-hour of
SCREECH
SCREECH
SCREECH
You get the idea.
We finally got to the hotel, and it was very nice, but not like Disney hotels.
No pin boards, or official Cast Members, or overriding story, or fun things like that.
Everything speaks Michael! What were you thinking?
Here's some more for those 'photo people'. I feel bad for them. They are missing quality trip reporting.
Ooh look! It's one of those Florida-Lizard-Things!
We headed over to the Speedway, in hopes of finding Pepsi, after checking in. Thanks for the idea Uncle MisterSquid, but we couldn't find any. 
After getting settled in the hotel room, we went to Disney's Hollywood Studios, and did some of our FastPasses.
We went on Toy Story Mania, and went in the new third track!
And I won!
It's getting late, and we are doing our Magic Kingdom Challenge tomorrow, so I'll finish this day tomorrow.
Thanks for following along so far!
