So it's June 10th and its roughly 4am. Our SW flight leaves Columbus Airport at 625 am so we get ready and get to the airport around 5 am. We check in, make it through security, stand in a long line to get some much needed starbucks coffee, then plop down in our gate. As you can see the lack of sleep hasn't hit us yet.
Oops, my eyes are closed, lets try that again.
Thats better.
So we get on our flight and prepare to leave at the stated 625 am stated departure time but then the captain comes over the loudspeaker. He informs us that a "door won't shut", he said it isn't dangerous but we can't fly without it shut so he calls maintenance to come over and fix it. 45 minutes later and some loud banging noises the captain announces that we are ready to take off. Besides that there were no problems with our flight and we arrived in Orlando Airport around 9am.
We make our way down to the Magical Express desk only to find out that I had packed our vouchers in our packed luggage. I was nervous that we were going to have a problem but the people at disney are fantastic! They made us new vouchers and off to Pop Century we went!
I loved this hotel soo much. I think the larger than life icons made it seem really cool. We checked in and of course they said our room wasn't ready, but that it would be ready by 3 and they gave us a number to call. So we got in line to head over to MK.
We made it to MK successively and started towards Tomorrowland. First we saw Monster's Inc. Laugh Floor Comedy Club which I absolutely love. "I'm watching...ALWAYS watching."
After that we went and got fastpasses for Space Mountain. Since we had a little bit until we could ride them we hit up Stitch's Great Escape and then since it was getting around lunchtime we ate at Cosmic Ray's. By now the heat was really starting to beat down on us, we haven't been to Disney in the summer for a long time and wasn't used to it. We finished out tomorrowland by riding Buzz Lightyear and Carousel of Progress.
Only having a hour or so before the afternoon parade (and not wanting to get caught in it) we finished up MK by riding the Haunted Mansion. I really like the changes and updates they had made, besides for the long and sweltering line it was really good. We weaved out of MK while people were starting to sit down for the parade. By this point we were really tired, we had gotten like 3 hrs of sleep the previous night and the sun had just taken it out of us. We had called a few times to see if our room was ready but to no avail. So we show up and buy our refillable mugs and get some icees. After a frustrating and tiring 45 minutes later (all we wanted to do was take a nap in the A/C), we called again and our room was finally ready. I was glad that we had gotten the building that I had requested, The Big Wheel Building. We got into our room and quickly fell asleep.
What happened during our nap? Check back for the next installment!
