"Five's a Crowd" (June 15th-24th) (June 23rd added on 9/3 pix included)

[mandy200587]

This is a trip report of my vacation at WDW during June 15th-24th at the Poly.

Background info: We have four females and one male in the whole trip. Three of us are from TN and the other two are from MI.

We have mom, my older sister, my sister in law, my 9 year old nephew, and me (20 years old).

My mom and older sister have been going to Disney since it first opened. I have been going since the year I was born.

My nephew has been a few times, my sister in law I believe has been twice.

I love Disney, with Tinkerbell and Daisy being my favorite characters.

In this trip report you'll have a few laughs I'm sure. You'll meet a few of our fellow disers (from the Disers stalking disers end of june thread)

The first day will be out the plane ride and Disney Quest. So stay tuned.

You better keep up with it. I actually got up all the photos on photobucket. Only took a day to do it.

 

[mandy200587]

Here's everybody that was with us. It's me, my sister in law Tammy, my mom, my sister Denise, and my nephew Brandon in front.

I'll start with the day the adventure began for us which was officially June 14th. We live about an hour or so from Nashville, meaning we would have to be up at like 2 or 3 in order to be at Nashville airport to go through security. We stayed at Hampton Inn, it wasn't bad except for the bug that went crawling against the wall.

We woke up on the 15th about 3 am I believe. We got ready and packed up everything we needed. We headed to the airport and checked in everything, then took off our shoes for airport security. Oh so much fun but thank god for Crocs.

Our plane left at 7:15 but we started late due to problems with the genetator. I was in a bit of a panic by this time because I'm not a fan of flying so I'm holding onto my sister's hand for dear life during take off and landing. We got to Alt at almost 10 something. Our flight left at 10:30, so we had to rush from Gate A to Gate B, after meeting up with our family.

We got on the plane from Alt, and that flight went much smoother. We arrived in MCO about 12:30. We got off the plane and checked into ME.

Now the problems start when we arrive at the hotel and check in. We firmly request a 3rd floor every year so we have the balcony. Well we were given 2nd floor and we're like uh no we put down 3rd floor when we booked this reservation in September. Took a bit of time but it was fixed. We had to stay on the 2nd floor that night but we honestly just wanted a bed that night to sleep in. The next day we would move to 3rd floor.

Well after that was sorted out, we headed to DTD after waiting a bit for a bus. We went to DQ, ate breakfast/lunch/dinner there. The food was so good. They did change it though. We use to would go for the arcade where you could win tickets, that's gone now. So sad.

Well we finished up DQ, Mom, SIL, and nephew went back to the room. Sis and I went walking and looked at the shops at DTD. I had to get a new waistpack cause my walmart one would not fit me comfortably. Well we get back, they only have delivered one suitcase so far. So of course Sis and I are the ones elected to go downstairs and find out where the rest of our stuff is and as we come downstairs they are coming in with it.

So that basically the first day in a nutshell. The real fun starts Saturday when we do Seaworld, Walmart, and Uno's.


Sorry I have no pictures for this day.

Yes there will be pictures just for you DM. I don't want you to have to look through 200 of them. Don't worry I'll probably have another one up soon with pictures just for you cause I'm bored.

Saturday June 16th, the adventure begins.

We get up at 7 am, to pack up the room and get our luggage stored before we head to a 8:20 breakfast at Park Fare. We got there and were seated in the very back room all by our self. Our waitress was awesome and the food delicious. We finished up our breakfast and had a hour to kill before the shuttle came so we could get our rental car.

We got our car and headed to Seaworld.

We purchased our tickets ahead of time but it's so disorganized with the lines there. Well we went and did the sealion show which is hilarious. During the sealion show one of the baby sealions in training wouldn't leave the water so the show was very improvised because of the baby seal. You can see the baby seal in the picture.

We did the penguins. We didn't do a ton at SW but we did what we went after. On the way out of SW before stopping at the candy store we stopped at the dolphin nursery and saw this:

So we finish up there and head back to the rental car and off to our next destination, Uno's.

Uno's is delicious, we get it once a year because there is none near us. We had a normal meal then for dessert I split a brownie with my sil, and my nephew. Well I had to fight for my part because my nephew is umm well hogging it to put it nicely. He was being a little brat at times that day.
Well we finished up there and headed to Walmart for what all we would need.

We get to walmart and having a blonde moment I pick up two bottles of shampoo instead of a shampoo and conditioner. Yeah I know blonde moment! Well we get done shopping, we have to be back at the rental place by 5:30 so we flew back, needless to say my sister felt like her foot was vibrating for quite a while from the van we had.

We got back in time and still waited till about 6 I think for the shuttle to come to take us back to the hotel. Well we get back, we have no room since we were getting moved that day. Well I'm the one who can get their the quickest and of course my nephew is right up my butt as I'm trying to take care of things. I'm one who has to have some space and at that moment I didn't have it. Well we got our new room which was 3508 and that basically ended our day there.

Here is what we have from our room:

The view at night:

The view the next morning:

Next installment: Soakin Splash and CP.

All right! I beat her at something...

Sounds nice so far, except for your nephew bothering you. We have Uno's up here and I love going there for their lunch specials. I always get a deep dish pepperoni pizza with salad. Yummo!

We have yet to go to Sea World. Maybe next year as we are thinking about just going to the beach and staying in Cape Canaveral.

 

[Crazy Kanga]

Hey Girl. I sure do love the looks of that room and view at the Poly. I really want to stay there some day. I am debating between there and Beach Club when we go next May after our cruise. Dis you love it. How was the transportation? Dis you have more trouble with buses after that MGM fiasco, or was it an isolated incident? And did you get to talk with anyone about it?

We're doing Sea World's Waterpark next year.

I love Uno's there no place near us anymore that is open.
