We landed in Atlanta with an hour to get off the plane and get to the next gate. We have to wait for everyone else to get off the plane and wait for Jonah's chair to be brought up to us so that's a good 15 minute wait there if not longer. We finally get off the plane and we all need to use the bathroom and get Jonah changed. That takes up another 20 minutes there because we have to pass Jonah off to each other because the stalls were just not big enough to accommodate everything we had. We ended up getting a total of 10 minutes to sit down before we started loading on the plane again. We tell the lady checking us in about Jonah being in the chair and that we need to preboard and it ends up we weren't all sitting together matter of fact it sounded like we weren't even near each other. I asked if there was anything left where we could be at least near each other and she typed on her key board and low and behold we get upgraded again AWESOME. Jonah and I got to sit in the very front seat and Kristian sat behind us. We had awesome stewardesses. They wanted to play with Jonah but he fell asleep and got a good nap in while in the air. When he woke up we were in orlando. They gave him him a set of wings and told us which characters to meet and how much fun he'll have. It was short hour flight. We waited for everyone to get off the plane and waited for his chair to be brought up and we were off find the our greeter from GKTW. We found Robert with ease and he helped up get our luggage and asked about our flight down. He took us to Avis. We got our minivan got Jonah's car seat installed and gave us directions to GKTW and we were on our way.
We ended up missing a turn some where and got lost (it never fells we always get lost on a trip) but we called GKTW and found out where to go.We just say we took the scenic tour. We got to GKTW and checking in was easy. Jonah got his first surprise of the trip. I can't remember the girls name that checked us in but she took us to our villa which was 119. We were able to finally relax a little and get Jonah fed before supper time. We did a little bit of the christmas party because unfortunately Kristian's work called and he was on the phone and I had to take Jonah to the orientation meeting with me (i was not a happy camper). After that we put in a no cell phone calls during the trip until Jonah was asleep and we were down for the night. We had a great supper and a good night sleep and we are going to MAGIC KINGDOM the next day. I'm still loading up pictures to photobucket so it going a little while longer and I've got get packing for our trip tomorrow. We are going to see his pediatrician and hopefully get off one of the stomach meds and to get his 5 yr old check up too. Please just bare with me as it's going take quite awhile to get this done. I do have a picture of us in front of our villa but i've got to down load that one too.

Woo Hoo on the second FIRST CLASS flight!


I totally feel your situation in airport bathrooms...how frustrating! But normal, I guess. We went to a power wheelchair soccer tourney in Birmingham this weekend. It was TOTALLY accessible...everything about it was accessible. And the bathrooms were AWESOME...like someone with a disability...or a committee of people...designed them. They even had these huge assisted size dressing areas with these big plush padded tables...it was awesome. anyway...thought that was cool!

It is all good...I totally understand that time it takes to upload pics...get them sized...cropped...whatever and then post them with the story.

Sounds like you had a good trip so far, though!!
