hey everyone! thnx again for all the well wishes i'm having an awesome time so far . so we left south carolina at about 6 in the morning today and continued to drive until we reached florida! well we got to Old Key West at about 12:45 and we were lucky because we had already checked in online! so the process was really easy, i would totally recommend it, and we also got a room that we've had before and we've looovveeddd . so we went into our room with all our luggage and checked out the place. perfect, as usual, always up to disney standards . i changed real quick and put on some makeup because driving for about 20-23 hours combined does not equal a very pretty Hayley lol. so anyways we then went to the polynesian to have lunch at the Kona cafe, a must do in my opinion. i had the asian noodles it was yummy . we then visited all of the resorts along the monorail circuit and went in all the gift shops and listened to the big band at the floridian. i also probably sat on some of the comfiest couches ever too lol. so anyways as we made our way back to our hotel we started realizing we were actually here! we hung out in the room for a bit and brought more stuff in from the car, after just chillin in the room we went to the wilderness lodge to look around and then have dinner. i was a little disappointed by the whispering canyon this trip. if anyone has been there before they know about the pony race and how the waiters and waitresses yell as loud as possible? well now the voice who announces the pony ride race is a canned voice!!! and the waiters use microphones! it was not really the same experience as it usually is. but the waiters were absolutely wonderful as usual and we had a nice night anyway. we then browsed in the gift shop and then headed back to OKW. Now after giving my friend a virtual tour of our room via pics in texts lolll, i'm writing to all of you while sitting at our kitchen table at OKW and listening to the sound of fireworks outside our balcony. tomorrow we're off to the magic kingdom! goodnight all! and i hope you keep reading! byeeeee<33333
