Day One.

Nasty nasty long flight crammed onto a small plane :-( coffee keeps me going, after getting off, we join the EPIC long queue for the rental car...my man sense senses trouble.

I reach the nice man who informs me that I need to pay $650 for car insurance which my travel agent ASSURED me was already taken care of!! This knocked me back a bit. But wanting to get on with the hols, slapped it on the credit card and will fight this later with travel men :-)

Went to get the car..a NASTY NASTY man showed us to the car and then started shaking his head at us, then tutting...he would NOT leave, I got the hint he may want a tip because he opened our car for us, the lowest note we had was a $20 so had to give him that to get him to go away...I will be wiriting a complaint letter to alamo.

ANNNNYway. I got in the car and flushed all that bad away...onto I4 and Off to Disneyworld!!!!!

I nearly cried going through the gates.

And then this did make me cry, especially after the nasty car. We got to the gates of AKL...the man said, howdey guys, welcome home.

I nearly got out and hugged him.

AKL Is wonderful! I cried, beautuful, wonderful, home, heaven. The music, the lighting, the smell...oh the smell!

After checking it went for an explore..

Welcome to the Trip Reports.
Sorry you had trouble with Alamo.
We just used them, and no one took us to our car, they just pointed the way to which row we could use.

I don't want to be a stickler about this, but you said this:
Disneyland is in California, you are in DisneyWorld, and the park was the Magic Kingdom. I feel terrible for just pointing that out. So, I apologize.
