We arrived yesterday...staying at POR and love it! So peaceful and beautiful, the room is very nice, very clean.
This is our first trip to Disney. We went to Epcot today. Got there before rope drop..just standing with the crowd waiting... a cast member was walking around. We noticed he was also from CT, so we chatted for a bit, he noticed our first visit buttons..then he moved on. No big deal.. we counted down with the crowd...and started to move with them towards soaring. Then the same cast member comes up and asks us to please follow him. We had no idea what was going on... I thought perhaps we were going to get a fast pass for Soaring...well we ended up being the first family of the day to ride Soaring....all by ourselves! It was unbelievable:cool1:

What a way to start our very first day at Disney :yay:

the day continued to be great....my son and husband had a conversation with Crush...we never waited in line (except for about 10 minutes to see the characters) Got FP for soaring, mission space and test track. Rode everything we wanted to with out waits (thank you TGM!)

Came back midday to swim in the pool. Mouse keeping had set up my childrens stuffed animals and blanket like a dog pulling sled.

Tonight when I went to purchase a mickey ice cream on a stick for my daughter, the kind person at the ice cream cart gave it to her as a "gift from Mickey" since this was her first visit!

What a fantastic day. I love disney :lovestruc
 
What a great first day of a first trip! Glad you had so much fun. It really sounds like the CM's go out of their way to look for reasons to do things that will give great memories! We're looking forward to our kids' first trip in June (and our first time back in 15 yrs). Enjoy the rest of your stay!

SO glad you're having a great time. The type of pixie dust your family is experiencing is what keeps so many families returning year after year. Hope the rest of your stay is just as magical as the beginning.:thumbsup2
 
What a great way to start your day off! :thumbsup2 We love the POR also. It is a beautiful resort. I can't wait to hear more about your trip.:goodvibes
