Hiya Dis'ers

Cast : Just me (30) 1st trip back to Disney in 3 years, but later in the week will be my first time to UO/IOA.

Took Southwest yesterday from Vegas (yep, adult Disney to the real one). It was hard to pass up on $235 non-stop roundtrip and it seemed the word got out because our flight was pretty much full.

The flight seemed to be going good until we got within the Orlando area and then we started circling the airport. We finally landed about 10 mins after we were supposed to, which wouldn't be so bad, except that we were now sitting on the taxiway because the entire airport was in a lightning hold and no planes were being taxi'ed in or out. So, what started out as a on time arrival turned into a 1 hr delay :(

Finally, we got in, got my bag and went to go get my convertible (don't know when I'll be able to put the top down, weather still sucks as I'm typing this). Oh, I got the convertible for $25 a day through, you know, that site with Shatner :)

Checked in to my off-site hotel ($57 a night + 10 resort fee) and went straight to my fav resturant, Cracker Barrel. Now, I know some of you may be laughing. You have to understand though for a "west coast boy" we don't have Cracker Barrel or Waffle House, but as a teenager on a cross-country trip, I got used to these two places and fell in love with them. I had a great meal, got breakfast at dinner because, well I can :)

So, I'm off to Waffle House for breakfast now (SHOCK!) :)

I think for my first day, I will be going to EPCOT. I'm doing 4 days at Disney and 2 at UO/IOA. I will write more either tonight if I don't go to Pleasure Island or I'll write more tomorrow morning sans hangover from Pleasure Island :)

Your Disney Mayor,
Matt
 
I guess no one reads the live reports like they do the trip report board. 5 views in 24 hrs?
