Persons present :
Veronica : myself
Cuthbert : my husband
Dixie : my daughter (aged 4)
Amos : my son (aged 3)
Yasmin : Cuthbert's niece who is here to help care for the children.
Our journey to the airport went very smoothly and we were most impressed with our flight. We disembarked our plane and went to collect our luggage. It arrived very quickly and Yasmin loaded it onto three trolleys. I could not see over the top of my trolley and knocked Cuthbert over. What are two bruised heels between loved ones! Well we then discovered that we had to put our luggage on another carousel and then WE had to take the monorail to the main building. I had read about the Disney monorail on these boards but this! Oh the shock, it didn`t even have a seat. Yasmin, bless her, could see I was getting stressed and kneeled down on the floor allowing me to sit on her back. We collected our luggage again and were bussed to car hire. I felt like a sausage in the factory with all this transporting.
When we got our white car we could not fit all our luggage in. There was no other option. I would have to hire one as well. I chose red because it is my favourite colour. It is a very pretty car. The only drawback was they had no right hand drive cars. This surprised me, after all the Americans have everything! Cuthbert took the children with him and Yasmin came with myself. I thought it was most sweet of the Americans to welcome us to their country by tooting their horns and waving at us as we drove past. It was an even bigger surprise when the police pulled us over. They wanted to welcome us too. WRONG! Apparently we were driving on the wrong side of the road. I don`t know what the problem was.
We were most delighted when we arrived at the Grand Floridian Resort and Spa. The bell boy unloaded our luggage and we headed to check in. I enquired about Mary Poppins looking after the children. You cannot actually hire the characters but they did tell me about the mouseketeer club.
Our room is most luxurious although a little small for five persons. We will be very happy here. We went for a look around after Yasmin had unpacked. We found an adorable little man playing the piano. We sat down on the sofa to listen to him while the children ran around to burn off some energy. Dixie tried to help the man play his piano. Seems he did not require any help. Then Yasmin realised Amos was missing! She reported this to the hired help and the search began. I stayed at the sofa incase he returned and finished my drink. The piano man was very relaxing. Amos was found quickly at the monorail station, bless him. He has always had an interest in trains.
After all this excitement we all went to bed. Looking forward to visiting the Magic Kingdom tomorrow for some magic.
Love always
Veronica
