We arrived at DW on Saturday April 5. We had a late flight into Orlando, which we had never done; all our flights in the past had been super-early. By the time we got to the resort it was 10:00 p.m. We were all really tired, but very excited to be there! We stayed at BCV and it was wonderful. Very pretty resort, and it is not even a year old, so everything is immaculate. Our room had a microwave and small fridge, both of which came in very handy. We were in room 406, which was supposed to be Epcot view, but it wasn't; it looked out onto the quiet pool, which was actually fine with us.

We woke up early the next morning and hit MK for early entry. We did all the usual suspects, Pooh (had never done it before! Was sooo cute!), Peter Pan, Dumbo, Goofy's Barnstormer, Indy Speedway, Buzz, Aladdin and I *finally* got to ride Splash Mountain!! I had never ridden it! It was great but a good friend of mine had warned that it stinks! She was right! That old musty milewy watery smell! It was on my hands even long afterwards! I thought about Kerri's warning and I had to laugh. We had lunch at Cosmic Ray's (great) and then we went across the park for my Dole Whip. I thought it was my Dole Whip for *the day*, but it ended up being my only Dole Whip for the whole trip! Sob!! Oh well, it was delicious as always.

We left MK around 2:30, we were beat. It was hot and sunny that day and it really sapped our energy. We didn't realize how much until we got back to the room and we all fell asleep! DS3 ended up sleeping from this afternoon all the way until the next morning!! DH and DD7 got up in the evening and went swimming at Stormalong Bay which they loved and I just took it easy the rest of the evening. My work conference started the next morning and I had to be at the Grand Floridian by 7:00 a.m., so I turned in early.

Sounds like a great first day! Too bad about only having one Dole Whip. Now you have a good reason to return.
