Just Returned yesterday, and wanted to post while it's fresh in my mind.

Arrived at Logan Intl around 9:30am on Monday Morning, for my 11:30 Flight to Orlando. - No Problems, touched down @ MCO 10 minutes early, and was off the plane by 2:25.

Decided to get my own luggage rather than having Disney deliver it, only took another 10 minutes, then was on my way to the M.E. Counter. Line was Long but moved very quickly.

Was on a bus to the CR @ 3:00, and pulled up to the CR @ 3:55 after making 3 stops, Saratoga Springs, POFQ, and PORS.

I Orginally was booked in South Garden Wing room where I stayed for the 1st night. It was a handicap room, didn't have to many gripes about it, but I do like a separate shower/tub area and a locking door! Room was Clean though.

After I checked in, dropped the bags off in the room, and headed over to MK on the monorail.

I was surprised to see the number of people leaving MK at 5pm. But regardless it was still crowded. Went for Dinner @ Tony's, they weren't seating any walk-ins inside, so had to eat outside in the heat. I went for the traditional pasta meatballs and my friend had a steak. Food was Good, Service was Great, but was overpriced. Bill was over $50 for those to entrees plus 2 sodas! insane!

After Dinner just walked around the park for a while, before catching a good spot for the 4th of July FW display at 9pm. Fireworks were Incredible!!! From every direction in front of you, behind you, and on both sides.

They were so intense that my arms were covered in Black Ash falling from the sky.

all in all, a Great 4th of July in WDW. Will Post Day 2, Tomorrow.

Good Night! Comments welcome.
 
I've seen those 4th of July fireworks at the MK. They do it the same way on NYE, it is all around you.

Sounds like a great first day.
