Well after a night of little to no sleep we got up at 5:15 am to get ready to meet our ride to the airport...... getting the kids up was a little tough for a minute but when we said it's time to go to Disney that helped a bit! We got ready and were downstairs before time.... and waited for 6 am to come... about 6:05 our ride arrived....

a stretch limo Ford Excursion! The kids were amazed... but it was still dark so I didn't get great photos....

The limo took us the short drive to the airport... where we disembarked, checked in and waited for our plane ride on Southwest....(glad for their free luggage policy)...

Now, I didn't precheck us in to get a good boarding group, we were group B 30+! Yuck! BUt this is where more pixie dust came our way.... the guy told us they let MAW families board first (This was not to be the case on the return flight!)... so we preboarded and were first onboard... we took the first row.... This whole time Kaleb and I were coughing.... and Kaleb coughed pretty much the whole way. We had a stop in Chicago, and then were off to FL... then a bit of more pixie dust came our way when in Chicago - they had the kids get in the cockpit!

Here is the captain trying to get Zoe to talk on the intercomm...but she was a little too shy for it...

There was one point that Kaleb coughed for a half hour straight and finally threw up! Ughh what a mess.... but it could have been worse.... I'm extremely glad we were in the front rows! But we got him cleaned up and arrived in FL just in the nick of time!

We arrived to meet our greeter, and I couldn't tell you what his name was....

He took us to get our baggage which was almost first off! How great is that...? to not have to wait for it!!!! Then he took us to National rent a car to get our car... We got a black town and country.... and the rental co told us to return it empty!!!! With good directions and great motivation, we were on our way to GKTW!!!!!!!!

Just look at the smile on Kaleb's face in the limo!!

Sorry that Kaleb got sick!! I am so sure that the coughing weas the culprit! We do that one ALOT...In fact Eva was so sweet to bless our NEW church up here on her first day there!! THANK GOD that the floors were wood but what a way to make an impression!!!!

I cant wait to read more about the trip!!

Great start. Sorry about the ears but glad you got meds on board before he got on the plane
The room looks great Pixie dusted

How cool the kids got to see the cockpit!! I'm so sorry you and Kaleb were sick the whole way there, but you'd never tell from the bright little smiles you've posted! The kids look so excited!! I can't wait to see more of the fun

 

[mommy2mrb]

Sorry Kaleb got sick on the plane, that's never fun!

I love all the smiling pictures!!!! So sorry Kaleb was sick on the plane.

I can't wait to hear more about your trip!

What a huge limo. That's a great way to ride to the airport.

For us its not a vacation until DS3 throws up He gets car/air sick

 

[billwendy]

I love the picture of Kaleb in the limo with the reflection in the ceiling - so COOL!!!!! Sorry he puked - so glad you were in the front row - lol!!!!!

 

[fulseasmama]

Sorry Kaleb got sick on the plane but what fun it looks like they had in the cockpit of the plane.

You are on your way to GKTW...excited to read more.

 

[petals]

luvin all the pixie dust. Sorry that Kaleb was sick on the plane

 

[p00h4me]

Fantastic limo for your ride to the airport!

Some pixie dust on Southwest letting you board first and letting the children explore the cockpit!

Sorry to hear that Kaleb still wasn't feeling good on the airplane. The cough is always the hardest to get rid of. Glad to hear it gets better into your trip.

Some more pixie dust of not having to refill the gas tank when you return the car!

What a huge limo. That's a great way to ride to the airport.

For us its not a vacation until DS3 throws up He gets car/air sick

It was HUGE!

I love the picture of Kaleb in the limo with the reflection in the ceiling - so COOL!!!!! Sorry he puked - so glad you were in the front row - lol!!!!!

I llike that shot..... well at least it could have been worse onthe puking part!

Thank you for all your comments... The next post I'll begin our arrival at GKTW.... Since I was the driver I'm using some stock shots!

 

[brookerene]

Well as well left the airport and headed towards GKTW.... we were anxious and glad to arrive at our home for the week.... here are some photos you have seen before but the TR wouldn't be complete without!

Then Brian and the kids headed to the the Safari double dare while I half slept through orientation... I found out that the Double dare was full and with Kaleb's coughing they decided to got to Amberville. The Kids were so wound up that poor Brian had a hard time with them! Oh well.... that was the worse of that for the week! Then we went to bed and couldn't wait to get to Epcot... and to meet my friend Carole..... and enjoy Disney.....!

 

[mommy2mrb]

cute, cute, cute!

your villa looks like a little castle!!

looks like a fun day at GKTW!

 

[brookerene]

Well as well left the airport and headed towards GKTW.... we were anxious and glad to arrive at our home for the week.... here are some photos you have seen before but the TR wouldn't be complete without!

We were tired but excited to get here...We got there, with coughs and all, and went into the House of Hearts and were greeted... The lady could tell we were tired... and sent us to Katie's kitchen.... where we had a good lunch, pot pies, mac n cheese, and meatloaf.......
next Zoe got to pick out of the birthday box

The lady opened three boxes which played a birthday song and Zoe picked out a plash animal... sorry no photo....

then we were taken to our villa in the new section... the whimsical villas.... and we got a beautiful one!

The family shot!

This was on our table...

In the fridge...

Oops I don't want to forget Shamu...

To tell the truth... I was so tired that I didn't get all the shots I wanted too...but that is life!!!! Things were good! Here are some photos in front of the villa!

We headed over to the playground.... here are a few photos...

Then we rested a little and headed over to the carousel and such.. Our orientation was at 7:45... on the way we also saw the armadillo that they had for looking at....

I took Zoe to La-Ti-Dah Spa for a tattoo... and they gave her a cute My little Pony lunch pail too!

Then Brian and the kids headed to the the Safari double dare while I half slept through orientation... I found out that the Double dare was full and with Kaleb's coughing they decided to got to Amberville. The Kids were so wound up that poor Brian had a hard time with them! Oh well.... that was the worse of that for the week! Then we went to bed and couldn't wait to get to Epcot... and to meet my friend Carole..... and enjoy Disney.....!
