Sorry if this sounds silly, but what is gate checked? How does the stroller figure in with your luggage count?

Gate-checked means you can take the child in the stroller all the way to the gate and down to the door of the airplane. There, you collapse the stroller and leave it for airplane personnel to put below. When you get off the plane, the stroller is brought back up and you can put the child in it to right from the door of the airplane, throughout the airport, to your ride, etc. Instead of checking it at the desk when you check-in, you check it at the airplane gate. You do need to obtain a special tag from the terminal gate before you load the plane. I wasn't concerned about our luggage count since for the 3 of us we only had 3 suitcases plus the stroller and we could've had 9.

I just have to say that I thought that my daughter was the only baby afraid of pregnant people! She just screams, I dont get it! But she is afraid of EVERYTHING! Our first trip to DL this year was REAL fun for her!

 

[Nanu57v]

Haha, Yeah she's getting over her pregnant people fears, but still afraid of everything else!

Day 2: Tears at Epcot

We go to the new rooms in the “90’s” section, room 9116. This is the Pac-Man building. All week we debated if this was really 90’s or 80’s. I’m starting to think the CM was crazy. It’s totally 80’s.

yeah building 9 is defnitely the 80's.

I'm enjoying readin your trip. I love readin TR about guests who stay at Pop bcuz thats the resort i work at. Who knows i could have seen u there.
