On the plane ready to head to Orlando!! Stayed at the Mariott near Pittsburgh airport last night. Not a very restful sleep! I think we were too excited!!! Also it was very loud in the hotel heard every noise.
But glad to be on our way!!

We have a fast pass for mine train at 1:50. Last Disney trip we never got to ride it. My son and I were both sick at different times during the trip. So mine train or bust!!!!

We had a great check in experience at sugar loaf today. We were met as we got off DME by a CM who was great and he led us to the most wonderful CM I've ever met named Denny. He made our check in magical. Even got our kids bags of gummy bears to take into the park. It was wonderful and. I waiting in line in the lobby. This is how club level check in should always be

We had a few snacks and explored the GF for awhile then we headed to MK. It was pretty crowded for us. We are used to hitting parks at rope drop then heading back to the hotel in the afternoon. We did get to ride a few rides. Loved the mine train!
Then we headed back to sugar loaf since our room was ready. Great room with lovely view I will post some pics later. Time evening offerings in the lounge. They even had chicken Nuggets for the kids. It is fantastic here so far!
