Setting: Family of 5 from North Central Indiana. Mom, Dad, and three princesses. Ages 7,5,3. 7 nights at the Beach Club Resort. Standard View Room. June 4-11, 2009
Travel Arrangements made directly with Disney including Airfare, Magical Express, and Resort Check In on the way home.
ADR's made at Cinderella's Royal Table for dinner, Coral Reef for lunch, Cape May for Breakfast, Crystal Palace for lunch, Liberty Tree Tavern for lunch, Chef Mickey's for Breakfast.
Day 1: Flight left Indianapolis at 3PM. We arrived in Orlando on time and ready to roll. We made our way to they Magical Express where there was no line....none whatsoever! We walked through all the check in points and right on to our bus. We did wait 15 minutes or so for more ME customers to arrive. We soon left with a bus half full. After a short bus ride we were unloading at the Beach Club. There was no line to check in. I walked up gave my name and we had the area of the resort we had requested and were off to our room in a matter of minutes.
I stopped by bell services to get a couple of packages we had waiting...they said they would bring them to us. We walked to our room and three minutes later a knock on the door. The Bellman had our packages and our luggage that may take up to three hours later to arrive. After a quick refresher we were off on Disney Transport to the Magic Kingdom for our ADR with Cinderella. Then it started to rain....no big deal....it is Florida in June. We pulled out our Poncho's bought at Target prior to departure. Plasticed up and entered the park. We had our photo taken in the rain and ponchos on Main Street. We proceeded to the Castle, checked in, walked in, got pics taken with Cinde were escorted to our table. As a dad of three daughters I was more than pleased with the opportunity for my little princesses to meet THE princess of all time. Dinner was excellent from my wife's point of view. She had the prime rib and loved it. I had the lamb and it was slightly above average. Kids all ate....but they didn't care...they were in the castle!!! The show with the fairy godmother and two of the mice was cute and my girls enjoyed it all.....so I did too.
The rain continued through dinner which was awesome because when we were done the park had emptied a bit. We walked on the Carousel and then waited 5 minutes to ride Dumbo. By this time it was more than enough for our first day. Travel, transfer, check in, dinner and a couple of rides. It was 9:15PM and my 5 year old daughter was ready for bed. So home to the Beach Club we went. Where we all slept on the wonderful beds till morn!
