Day 1 STILL Continues:
The sun had finally risen. I felt a little more human, even if I did have make-up on my face.
We board the plane and get fairly decent seats (not together). We dont really mind sitting apart. We just revel in the silence. Its not something we get very often. I look around at my fellow passengers and notice a mom and her 14-month old daughter (I asked the age) that were crunched in the center seat an aisle over and back from me. I just smiled. I didnt have to contend with my dear little ones on this flight. I was going to get to read a book. Without getting smudges on it and pages torn while reading it
.unless, of course, the person sitting next to me had some health problems I wasnt aware of. Anyway, the little girl was fussy during taxiing and take-off so I tried to divert her attention by making faces at her and playing peek-a-boo. It's so much easier to entertain OTHER peoples kids. And it actually worked. Soon after take-off the little one fell fast asleep and I read my book.
I am happy to report that my fellow passengers did not have any health problems that interfered with my reading. We had a great and un-eventful flight and arrival at MCO.
I know some folks make fun of MCOs faux monorails, but I LOVE that part. It gets me ready for the real thing at WDW. It sets the mood. At least for me. So we jump on one and head down to find a cab. We decided against taking Magical Express this trip. Im glad we did. TEEBEE and I spent most of the time zoning on the way over to WDW. I swear he can sleep with his eyes open. Hes perfected the art by practicing it on me while Im having discussions with him.
We wake up in time to see the sign for the Epcot Resorts. Thats us BABY! We pull into the driveway of the Boardwalk and I get tinglely all over. We checked into our 1 bedroom villa. Although it wasnt ready, Ill post the pictures here since I promised some--a few pictures of the view from our balcony:
And here's one of our towel animal:
We left her just the way we found her...so the next family could enjoy her.
Since our room wasn't quite ready, we decided to head on over to MGM and ride my ALL-TIME FAVORITE RIDE--ROCK-N-ROLLER COASTER!
Here we are on the boat to MGM (I'm taking the picture so it looks a bit odd) but take notice of the HAT...I'm sure glad we went back to get it!
And here's where we exited....
I'm not entirely sure why I took this shot, but mainly because I'd never seen it deserted like this before.
Up next: The redneck photo I mentioned and a few others....
