Well what can i say but a bumpy alyson style start but eventually got here. We left for manchester on 7 th nov for the TL around8 pm Got on the m6 and there had been an accident . 3 hour tail back for 2 junctions. We got off at junct 12 and went on the A roads. Got to the TL at 2340!!! Norm takes 85 mins.on the way up the car started making a whining noise then all of a sudden jumped out of gear:scared1:Out came me diazapam:happytv:I can laugh now but it was very scary. Dave pulled away and decided he wldnt use fifth gear and it didnt do it again. Looks like a new clutch/ clutch plate when we get home. The room the TL booked was on the top floor despite ringing at the end of the corrider. Luckily the girl i spoke to was there so she moved our room again.:eek: getting to the airport went fine. SA with VA were excellent with my mom. Went to check in and they hadnt kept our seats AND put us in the middle:scared1::scared1:By this time i was about to blow a gasket. I had spoke to special assistance the day before to check everything and we still had rows 42 and 43. I would hv sat anywhere Accept in the middle. Anyway 2o mins later and no where to change to. I checked our seats for return and they were ok.............so far. When we boarded i am pleasesd to say the seats were rather nice. We had row 21 defg, so had the bulk head at the front with lots of leg room. No complaints of flight and thought the new food system was quite nice. Loved the little box with 2 finger sandwiches a scone clotted cream and jam. Anyway flight was 8.24. Queue for imm was about 120 mins we were told. I hv never seen it so bad. We had to fight through with moms chair. Why did they let 15 amaricans out to one british family. Noone was on desk 6 for SA until some spanner realised and got someone on. So after leaving the pleane it too 85 mins to get bags. I delared my food abd they scanned everything and we went through.THEN some wally decided to take our bags, took off ME stickers and said go to A and collect bags. It didnt register until i got there tht ME went from B. So we had to treck all down to A collect bags go back over to B to get ME. When i spoke to ME they said europeas dont get the privilidge of hvg bags deliverd now it stopped. I was up for a fight now:headache: why on earth send me the tags to hv them ripped off not told the dippy luggage handler what to do and make us walk a mile from one term to another.:confused3 i told her my mom had SA and she said thts the rules but if disney sent the labels because of my mom the bag hadler should not hv removed them. Anyway when we eventually got to okw we had nothing we requested. Asked a high floor got ground in a building above 30 so we had the 2 door bathroom. We got building 16 on the ground floor. They could move us in 2 days. By this time i really could not be bothered but then after i had paid for an adult ticket for charlotte to get the adult plan out tickts showed child. That i did not let slip so waited 30 mins for tht to be sorted. Anyway room location actually verygood so not going to move. Unpacked and got to bed at 12.a very tiring day but hey its now 6 am and im hvg a nice coffee. One beds are HUGE. Dizzy is in his sleeping bag in the nuddy as no pj.s (KENNY!!!) poor guy. Wayne if your reading can u upload any pics off facebook for me. Iv put folder as florida 11. Anyway up soon to MK and breakfast at CP. Hope to get a few pics of mainstreet and castle whilst not open to GP:surfweb: See yous later
 
oh no, sorry you've had a bad start, but you're there now - have a great time! :goodvibes
 
Sorry about the stressful bit but always good to get a extra leg space on a flight :goodvibes. Glad you got a good location in your hotel :)
 

Blimey, that was not a start to the holiday at all. I hope you have a good breaky at CP and a great day in the park to get the hols back on track.
 
After the bad start at least you are now in the greatest place WDW. Have a fantastic holiday and hopefully no more hic ups for you.
 
Crabbie - your post is very difficult to read, try breaking it into paragraphs.

No offence intended. Glad the trip is on track now :)
 
Hey Alyson, glad you got there safely. Right now (while we are all working away) you should be soaking up the atmosphere of the parks :cool2:

I do suggest that you either head for Epcot or DTD this evening. Duffy Bear stores shoulld have some PJ's (or at least some shorts for Dizzy) :lmao:

Going to be keeping an eye for your next update. Hope you're enjoying a super day
 
Phew - that is a stressful start to your holiday :headache:

Now it's time to take a deep breath and enjoy every second :goodvibes
 
Hopefully all of your stress is now behind you and you can look forward to two weeks of bliss.:goodvibes
 
Sometimes the start can be stressful - but as others have said you are there now and you are in a beautiful place. I hope you have a great time :goodvibes

Kevin i am using my iphone and it was 5 am when I wrote this after a very stressful day
I will do my best to put in paragraphs for you:thumbsup2
Wayne yes I am using this thread and Dizzy has had a great day. Done all the rides we wanted to do and fast passed some but waits no longer than 2omins.

We ate at the GF this evening and had a lovely new york strip mange tout carrots and chessy potato. We had a quad of desserts which were divine.

We had a wander around the GF and my mom bought a cadle you make up yourself from basin white.(word of warning faifx does not work in this shop. So embarassing. I knew i had not spent $500 in one day. Not even $200)
forgot to say we had 2 dolewhips. Yummy. Got bk around 2230 grabbed some sprite and come back to the room for a nice coffee. Jacuzzi bath then off to sleep. There are some pics of dizzy on fb wayne my Pr will update
 
Just catchin up as work is seriously starting to get in the way of my social life.
Great to see Dizzy having such a good time - and I don't recognise the clothes he is in so I hope you haven't been spoiling him.
Looking forward to reading much more - however it is laid out

Yikes what a start to your holiday. But hey you are in WDW so it can only get better.

I really enjoy the live trip reports, especially as it is another from OKW.

I will no doubt be plaguing everyone with lost of questions about this resort ;)
