Stealing Jamie's idea XD.
Billy, Travis, PLEASE don't move this!
No one's reading it on the regular TR thread, so I'm re-posting here, hoping that y'all READ AND COMMENT!
(Yes, Billy, I just said y'all lol)
Posting all of Day 1 now, since Day 2 isn't finished yet.
Here are my notes for the day, direct from my Trip Journal. I will translate it out afterwards. Pics to come when we get the Photopass pics online.
Woke up early today. Couldn't sleep due to my usual Thursday night insomnia. Left home at 7:50. Got to airport at 7:55. Check-in was quick as well as security. Was at gate by 8:05. Played cards. Boarded plane and left a bit later than scheduled. Read BD. In MCO at 1:00. On ME by 1:15. At hotel close to 2. In EPCOT by 3. Went walk-on Figment. Walk-on Honey, I Shrunk the Audience. Walk-on Nemo. Walk-on O'Canada. Met Pooh, Piglet, Alice, Mary Poppins, Eeyore. Good dinner. Illuminations.
Let me translate this!
I set my alarm for 6:30 a.m. And went to bed at 10 the night before. But I couldn't sleep! Usually I can't sleep on Thursday nights for some reason, so I spent most of the night awake, thinking of all my DIS friends. Aly arrived at 7:40, and my grandmother picked us up at 7:50. We live literally 5 minutes away from the airport, so we were there by 7:55. Curbside check in was fast, and there were NO lines at security. Therefore, we were at the gate by 8:05. Mind you, our flight was at 10:05. So what do you do for 2 hours in a very small airport? We just played cards. Yes, played cards. So exciting, we are. FINALLY, the plane boarded (Southwest flight, by the way). I just read Breaking Dawn on the way there, only breaking to eat my Lunchables (I'm that cool). We landed in MCO around 1:00 (not too bad for a one-way trip). Since ME was taking care of luggage for us, we went to check in there, and got the next bus out to the Downtown Disney resort area (SS, OKW, POR/POFQ, and...something else). We arrived at POR close to 2. Beautiful resort. Check in was smooth, and our room was ready for us! 8052, Acadian House, on Magnolia Bend (mansion rooms). We put down the carry-ons and hopped on a bus to EPCOT. First thing we did was Journey Into Imagination with Figment (no wait). A classic favorite of mine! Next, we did HISTA. (Anyone else find the "pre-show" to be just a giant commerical for Kodak?) Last on the FW side was The Seas with Nemo and Friends (let's go explore in the biiiiiig blllluuuue woooooorrrrldddddd) which was walk-on. Then, we headed over to WS, starting with Canada (saw 'O Canada, walk-on). I did like the updated version. Walking on to the UK, we ran into Pooh, Piglet, and Eeyore in the Toy Soldier shop. Walking outside, we found Alice and Mary Poppins! Alice was quite nice, very friendly; Mary didn't really chat with us. Dinner was at Rose and Crown (ADR's at 6:00). We checked in early, and were seated at 5:45!
