February 5th, 2008 The Arrival
Shaun & I woke up at 3:15am after only 3 hours of sleep where we decided to get ready for what was going to be a very long day. Our roommate decided the night before at like 10 to pay us for last months utilities so as soon as I was dressed I ran to the closest BoA center to deposit that check.
I got back around 3:30 and ensured we got everything we needed before taking our luggage to the curb. As the shuttle van pulled up, we began our ride to Logan Airport. Turns out our shuttle driver was a retiree from my company and he worked on the system that Im working on replacing. Shaun laughed as the driver & I talked business the entire way there. Im sure the others in the shuttled just *loved* it.
We checked our baggage and headed to the gate. Thats when it really hit Shaun & me that we are going to get married!!!
Our flight was uneventful. We slept and watched some tv & we arrived about 30 minutes early to MCO.
Disney Magical Express had absolutely no one in line for check in (it was 9:50am on a Tuesday Morning)
We were then on our way to the Polynesian!
We checked in at 10:45 where our room was already ready, 3203. It was right next to Tonga so it was a short walk to the Great Ceremonial House. Once we dropped off some stuff in the room, we decided to get lunch at Captain Cooks:
I had the Pepperoni Flatbread: (so much better than usual Disney Pizza)
Shaun had the Bacon Cheeseburger: WARNING: Disney has changed their buns to these wheat buns but not really real wheat buns. It disintegrated on Shaun while he was eating the burger and mad him a sad person:
After lunch, we caught a taxi in front of WL to go get our wedding license from the Kissimmee Court House.
Good thing we went then, as I didnt realize that since Im still technically a FL resident we would have the 3 day waiting period even though Shaun is a MA resident. (I have to switch residences now though
)
We got through that quickly, then went outside to wait for a taxi
45 minutes for it to arrive
$45 later we were back at the Polynesian & our luggage had arrive from the airport so we got a drink from the bar and went back to the room to unpack. I had been packing for like a month & I had no idea what I had & didnt pack & I wanted to be able to call my mother if I needed her to get something for me.
As I got the room settled, Shaun took a nap (3 hours of sleep make cranky Shauns)
We explored the resort some more and relaxed & at 4:30pm we got a call from Shauns parents saying that they arrived so we decided to head over to the Wilderness Lodge. A monorail to Contemporary and a boat ride later, we arrived at the Wilderness Lodge around 5:00pm. They were all in the smoking area by the pool bar. We all got a drink, and waited until our dinner reservations at Artist Pointe at 6:00pm.
I could already see the drama that was going to unfold as we got sat for dinner. Allyson was cranky as she proclaimed there was nothing on the menu she liked and had a hissy fit. She was sitting next to MIL and MIL told her off in a nice quiet manner. I just kinda sat there and sipped my wine.
5 out of 7 of us really enjoyed our dinners I had Buffalo which I enjoyed & Shaun had the Pork. Allyson & GF (she will be referred to as GF this whole trip report as she has the same name as me & I dont want to confuse anyone) didnt seem to, but frankly I didnt care. Allyson, MIL, and FIL decided they wanted to go out for a smoke, so it was GF, Nana, Shaun & me left as we were waiting to sign the bill. Tonight, Allyson & I were suppose to go to PI for us to hang out. GF flat out tells me she doesnt want Allyson to go as she doesnt want to deal with it. Im livid at this point as well, I cancelled plans with my UCF friends after the hissy fit Allyson had that Sunday and well frankly I didnt care. The receipts come & all of us go outside to the smoking area.
After talking for a bit, Allyson and I go for a little walk and I tell her exactly that her GF didnt want her to go out because she doesnt want to deal with a cranky you and whatever. She tells me to ignore the GF & she doesnt care what the GF says. Good, that makes me feel better.
Apparently why we were talking, Shaun had a conversation with the GF that made her shut up at least to me.
Ally, GF, & Nana went up to their room as Nana needed sleep and Ally wanted to change & discuss things with the GF.
Ally & I then headed to Pleasure Island where I got given a tiara, vial & a new husband voodoo doll. (Too funny about that even Shaun laughed when I showed it to him)
We started at the Adventurers Club where I had a few drinks we then took a look at some of the dance clubs where almost all of them were dead the only one with anything going on was the 8Tracs where I got pulled into to Dance with a bunch of 30/40 year men pull me into to dance with them. There are now random pictures of me taking on other peoples cameras somewhere that well, I guess Ill never see. We then got a bucket where Ally didnt drink much of it. We went to a smoking area on a bench by the old RocknRoll Club where Ally had a smoke and we met two of the creepiest men who were trying to find directions to a better club area of Orlando. They were so obviously gone & trying to hit on Ally. They didnt really get it that Ally doesnt like guys
We called it a night around midnight as everyone was suppose to meet at 8:45am at the entrance of EPCOT.
During this time, Shaun & GF decided to get desserts at Kona Café as I had mentioned the Kona Cone earlier an the GF got wicked excited about it. Turns out they both got cheesecake though.
Shaun & I went to bed when I got back to the room. We actually slept apart as we had two queens and we both wanted to sprawl, which we continued to do until the wedding night.
