Here's my VERY tardy TR:
Flew out of Sacramento, CA on Dec 2nd. Man, we were so excited that I ended up with an adrenaline headache while we waited to board. But no worries....we were on our way. Anyone who is familiar with Sac knows that as soon as you taxi to the runway, a quick turn and then you take off. Well, our plane taxied and then turned off, as in powered down.
We were stuck with "electrical problems" for hours and they ended up deboarding us because some yahoo in the back shoved a stewardess. My amazing DH got off the first time they allowed it (only 15 mins into the wait) and secured a new flight out of Houston to Orlando. Needless to say, by the time we got to Houston (and I was literally running through the concord) we already knew we'd missed our flight by 4 hours. I ran up to the podium in Houston and was confused...why was our original flight number still up? I ask the obviously exasperated flight attendant. Their flight was delayed...for 4 hours and they are finally boarding! WHAT?! I ask if our seats are still there. Why, yes they are!!!
Got to Orlando soooo late. Checked into the WL after 9 pm and dragged ourselves into the restaurant since we hadn't eaten since breakfast (not good with 2 kids and 2 diabetics). We were so grateful for the staff AND the fact that we had a room right off the lobby; bunk bed room for us and just around the corner, 2 queens for my parents. The next morning, I surprised my family in the lobby; my best friend and her hubby were waiting for us all to share our vacations together.
I can't tell you how many times I nearly blew that secret!
Holy moley it was HOT that week!!!!!!! I mean 79-85. Meanwhile, back at home, our housesitter sent us pics of the 4" of snow that fell. It snows here maybe every 3-5 years, so I was sad to miss it, actually! We spent nearly every afternoon or evening at the WL pool to cool off or just wind down.
For the life of me, I cannot remember my room number, but I thought that I'd be so upset with a room that opened to the lobby (my brain said, "It'll be loud and noisy and and and). But it was magical for both me and my family. I adored opening the door to the music. My girls loved watching from the balcony. It was convenient to be so close to the elevators and everything.
The crowds were large; bigger than I'd ever imagine it would be for the first week of December. I was grateful for the snacks, filtered water bottle and backpack style camera bag. We blasted through water. Best snack that we discovered?! Funnel cakes near the Indy show at HS. We wore our powdered sugar with pride.
WL...how I love thee! I was grateful for our upgrade by our TA. I'd stay there every time! Buses were a non-issue, they ran on time and were full when the parks let out or were opening. Only had one heavy footed driver that had all of us passengers laughing because we were jerking around so much and he was so old that he didn't hear us.
Good luck with the decision.
)!!! We took in some entertainment, sat on the bench and just took it all in ! We decided on a Salted Dark Chocolate caramel and a chocolate pineapple, then headed to La Cava for a quick drink and to relax inside!!! Our dinner was at La Hacienda. We ordered the seafood grilled dinner for two. It was soooo good!!! After dinner we headed back to WL straight to the pool bar: 
our vacation will now total 11 days {insert Angels singing}
