Well I just typed this long drawn out report only to have my computer play a trick on me. I think it's back now so here I go again.....:badpc:

Woke up at 6:30 this morning, 30 minutes before my alarm was to go off (I hate that:headache:). I tried to get a few more minutes sleep, but that didn't happen. Plus the baby was kicking me. I guess he was excited too.

My Dad drove us to the Philadelphia airport and the security line was huge. Luckily it moved pretty quickly and from start to finish it only took about 20 minutes. I think this is the part I dread the most. With 2 kids, 3 carry ons, 4 pairs of shoes, a computer, DVD player, stroller, carseat, and a partridge in a pear tree, it was a mini zoo. We made it through okay and I only told off one lady who needs to learn about patience in an airport.

Anyway, the flight left at 11:25, only 10 minutes late and it was a pretty smooth flight. Only on decent to Orlando did we have a few tummy rolls:upsidedow.

We quickly made our way to Magical Express, and got right on a bus (no wait). OKW was it's first stop! Again no waiting.... Walked right up to check in at 3pm and was greeted by a CM who was as friendly as a lump of coal.:sad2: Our room wasn't ready yet so we watched tv for about 5 minutes and I called, and our room was ready.:yay: We scored a nice location near the HH and it was close enough to walk, so no bell services. When DH opened the door, mousekeeping was still in there.:mad: She invited us in and we sat on the balcony while she finished. I sent DH to Goods for some late lunch. Both kids had the new chicken nuggets and we both had cheeseburgers. Fancy.....

With tummys full, we put the kids down for a late nap. They really needed it after such a big day. We want back out on the balcony and enjoyed our view of the 7th green. While sitting there, 2 drake mallards came up and DH fed them a few leftover fries. The heat was making us sleepy, so we went in for naps too.

We woke at dinner time, and strolled over to Olivia's. We are able to walk right in were seated right away. Cari was our server and she was very sweet to the kids. DD had the mickey pasta, DS had pizza, I had a side ceasar salad with chicken, and DH had the member special (pot roast).

FOOD PORN!!!!!!!!!

This was a side salad and it was HUGE!!

With our DVC discount our meal was only $33, plus tip. Not bad considering we are in Disney.

We stopped at the closet they call an arcade and played a few games. This place is really small. I barely had room to turn around. Then we came back to baths and bed.

Tomorrow it's HS in the morning and MK in the evening. The weather is expected to be hot and steamy at about 90 degrees. UGH!! I'll be sure to take a lot of rest breaks!

Catch you then.....
 
Yeah - a live trip report! LOVE these!! Sounds like a good start to the trip and you're staying at my favorite place, OKW. Can't wait to hear more! popcorn::

By the way...

The weather is expected to be hot and steamy at about 90 degrees. UGH!!

... think this beats cloudy and 60... at least in my book! :goodvibes

Have a great day!!
 
Well it's 8am and it's grey outside, but no rain... I'll take it.

DH is just waking up after a late night, so we'll be out the door in about an hour. So much for an early start...:confused3
 
Sounds fabulous so far!! Glad to see your ME expereince went off without a hitch. Well Done!! Can't wait to hear about your day today and definately in the mood for some more food porn :)
 


Yeah you made it finally!!!! I cant wait to hear the rest. Have a fun trip and we will get together when you are home. That salad looked fantastic. The weather down there is scaring me though. Have fun and good luck. :thumbsup2
 
So I really think I'm going nuts. I can't believe I'm in Disney with 2 kids and 23 weeks pregnant. To say the least, I'm tired but I'm having a blast.

We just got back to OKW about an hour ago and the kids and DH are taking a nap. I personally am not a napper. Once my head hits the pillow, it doesn't want to get up. So I'm sitting in our 1BR with my feet up and a cool drink thinking of all of you.
:grouphug:
Let me know if I can answer any questions while I'm here. I have my TREO and can get your questions and post from it.

We got to HS about 9:45, just in time for DD to see the HSM2 show. surprisingly the crowds don't seem bad at all. We sat to the left of the show and got front row with no problem. Walked right in to the Playhouse Disney show with no wait and DH walked right onto ToT. I wish I could ride it, but my brain says don't... Then we walked to my most favorite attraction, Rock 'n' Roller Coaster starring Aerosmith. DH picked up a fast pass for after lunch.
Here is DD at the HSM2 show (yellow skirt).

From there we walked to the Muppet Vision 3D. I grew up with the Muppet shows and love watching them again. Sweetums is so huggable.:love:

We still had some time before our lunch ADR at Mama Melrose, so we took the kids to the Honey, I Shrunk the Kids and let them run and play to get out some of their energies.

I won't even attempt to do a dining review, I'll let the experts do that (Kevin).:rolleyes: But I'm happy to post picures of the food. Again, we had no wait for our table, but I did over hear the hostess say the wait was about 20 minutes. I think that's pretty good for 1pm in May.

The kids had pizza, I had the Tuscan Chicken Bruschetta, and DH had the Chicken Parm. I also had something special that I think Kevin would appreciate.... Check out picture #3.

Kevin and I now have matching Tink lights.:thumbsup2

When lunch was over, we came out to a light sprinkle. Nothing to run into a store for but enough to get the stroller a little damp. Luckily we brought the ponchos and stroller cover. We walked back to RnR rollercoaster and I sat with the kids eating blue cotton candy with the kids while DH used his fastpass we got earlier. Of course while sitting there, the sky opened up to a pretty good rain, so I covered us all up and DS was screaming mad I covered his stroller. "Too bad little man, it's just the way it is". When DH came out he said "what happened?", um... it rained....

We decided it was time to get back for naps and guess what, our bus to OKW was waiting for us, and there were plenty of seats.

So I'm back to where I started, sitting with my feet up with a cold drink. We plan on visiting the MK tonight and back in the morning. Breakfast at the Crystal Palace and DD to the BBB. She has already informed me she wants the Pop Princess style.;)
 


Sounds like a GREAT day so far. Thanks for the post!
 
I'm enjoying hearing about your trip as it happens! It sounds like your timing has been perfect for everything. Thanks for taking the time to keep us there with you:goodvibes
 
How fun. I am happy you are not dealing with crazy crowds. The food looks awesome!! I cant wait to hear more.
 
sounds great I am joining in on the fun Tomorrow!!!!! hope you have a great trip I'll read all about it when I get home:cool1:
 
I can't believe I'm in Disney with 2 kids and 23 weeks pregnant.

Been there. Done that. (And NOT going back and not getting the t-shirt! :lmao: )

Love a live trip report, so just subscribing! Have a great time...so far it sounds great, just hot.
 
Oh! I'm jealous! I LOVE Old Key West! My favorite resort after the Poly. We also really like Oliviia's. The Key Lime Tart is awesome! :thumbsup2 I'd give anything to be there right now enjoying a tart and a cup of coffee out on the patio. :goodvibes
 
Looking forward to the reading about the rest of the trip!!! :woohoo:
 
I love hearing your trip report. Sounds like a lot of fun. My daughter and 3 friends are at disney right now. So if you see 4 21 year olds wearing tiaras (or mickey ears) and York College t-shirts - say "HI". I am here in dreary PA until November so until then I have to live vicariously thru you all!
 
Ya know, I get busy and not able to check the boards and I miss out :-( I'm all caught up now! Jeez, you're a trooper, 23 wks prego and still leading the pack! Keep up the reports, love the photos as well! :D

The guys at Character Breakfast mentioned a rumor about Disney doing away with pineapples? (what the..) Ask the Dole whip folks to make sure it's just that! ..a rumor... It's gotta be, I mean, stroller prices are one thing, but if they ever got rid of the dole whip I think there would be a riot on main street!
 
How about some resort pics (room, balcony view, grounds)? I don't really know much about this resort. Would love to see them. Oh, and the food porn? KEEP IT COMIN'!
 
I'm so glad you are enjoying this. I admit, I was getting worried no one was reading...

Will report more soon!
