As we get off the plane, I can't help but think how crazy all this is!
Three weeks ago, I was only wishing that this would come true! Now, here we are in Orlando
On go the Minnie ears
as we take the tram towards baggage claim, and begin to descend on the escalator. As we near the bottom, my DH says..."Hon, there's your name" as a gentleman is holding up a sign with my name on it. OK...that is so cool!
He helps us get our luggage and we wheel it outside. Oh, it is so warm here
He asks us to wait there while he retrieves his little, yellow bus...(there were these yellow shuttle buses going all over). So we stand there chatting and DH says, "Oh my...look!"
I look and here comes our guy driving a stretch limo!
Surprise!!!
We've never been in a limo! The kids were so excited...and mom was too!!! He lets us know that there was some cold bottled water inside, in case we were thirsty! It was too cool
The kids climbed in and we took off for our resort!
We knew that we were staying at the Grand Floridian, but nothing prepared me for how beautiful it was as we pulled into the resort. This place was just gorgeous! We pull up to the front and our Disney contact is standing there waiting to greet us.
The next few minutes were a flurry...introductions were made and as others attended to our luggage, we begin to walk into the resort. Inside, we are met by a member of the staff who will show us to our room!
As we make our way to the elevator...surprise! We will be staying on the concierge level! Of course, my kids have no idea what that means
We walk into our room and it was absolutely beautiful! For us, this is a dream come true...this is somewhere we would never get to stay!
They mention that they thought we might be a little hungry, so they had set a little something out for us to eat, while we go over some details for the week. I couldn't help but think of how thoughtful that was !
DS was thrilled...because, as usual, he was starving!!! He dug into the food and drinks, along with DD. It was quite a "little something"
So while, the kids stuffed themselves with yummy food, she gave us a quick rundown of some places that we needed to be during the week. Really, we didn't need to know a whole lot-we had just been introduced to Joey, our VIP tour guide for the week. He had an itinerary and he would make sure that all would be taken care of!
Now that all the necessaries were taken care of...it was off to Epcot!!!
