Lesson Number 2: How to get from point A to point B
As much as I love Max and Goofy's roadtrip in A Goofy Movie, I'm not ready for this kind of drive.
Instead we will be going for a more modern method of transportation.

This time we booked with United Airline. The reason being that it is the only airline leaving from our home airport and going straight into the USA. Which means that:
A) There is an Earl of Sandwhich in our terminal at Newark Internation airport. I repeat there is an EoS!!!!
and
B) We get to take the ME 3 hours before departure on our way back instead of 4 for international flights.
Which means we can take more time to do this:
Instead of this:
So how do we get from point A to point B?
Well we will need to get our bags ready the night before
Because we need to get into a cab bright and early so that we can make it to the airport
In time for our 6:00AM flight.
At which point we will have a layover in Newark (see above re EoS!)
Then land in Orlando at 12:45pm.
Get onto the Magical Express
And finally check into...

AoA? Wait a second! (I know that's what all of you readers are thinking) Aren't you staying at Beach Club? I specifically remember you saying that OrangeJuice...Are you lying to us?

Well let's just say that I have a bad case of the withdrawals and that when I booked out flight...I added a day! woohoo 5 nights in WDW. Only issue is we can't add a day to DVC rentals. No problem, we'll just do one night at a value resort!

So that's arrival day.
The depression of departure day will be lessened by the fact that our flight is at 1:30pm. I think that means we need to take ME at 10:30 so I'm going to try to sneak a Cinderella breakfast that morning (8:00AM) to extend the magic.
Then comes the sadness and we should be home by midnight on Sunday.
So that's how we plan on travelling. My first two trips to WDW where by car, the first time with me 7 years old, twin siblings 4 years old and baby brother < 1 years old. The second time we were pulling a trailer. I don't think I'd ever be able to do that. Anyone tempted to drive to WDW? What are your travel plans?
