Me, Michelle (about to be 26 but got a lot of comments on how could a 17 y.o have a 5 y.o? lol)
Mom (aka Gramma) 53 and proud of that---a lil too much lol
Trae (5 and a veteran of Disney, this is his 4th visit)
Briana (9 , first timer---never been out of MA)
Well here it was 2 am and I still wasn't asleep. Knowing I had to brave the cold and snow @ 4am to head to the airport I began getting ready.
Awoke the kids shortly before 4 and we all headed out to the car. Had the most uneventful, non turbulent flight of my life on Delta Song. Reached MCO 20 minutes ahead of schedule and quickly ran to the DME counter. Not sure what I was expecting but didn't seem as "Magical" as I was picturing. But all was well and within 15 minutes we boarded our shuttle and were on the way to AKL
2 stops along the way---Pop Century and then Coronado Springs. Finally AKL just 55 minutes after landing--Already Pixie Dust and happy thoughts
First thought of AKL---AMAZING! How would I leave this resort to go to POR?!? We took in the sights, snapped photos, and breathed in the air as we sat on the Savannah View balcony watching the zebras. It was about 47 degrees @ the Lodge that day and we took a cool brisk walk over to Mara for lunch. YUMMMMMY!
After lunch we hit the arcade and decided we would brave the cold for a dip in the pool and hot tub---brrrr...we did it (and I have pictures to prove it haha). After the swim it was time to shower and think about whether we would stay to eat @ Boma (we had ADR's) or head to Downtown Disney---we cancelled Boma.
After reaching DTD we decided we would try Wolfgang Puck Express...YUM! I got the Cheese Quesadilla, mom got the pasta with Bolognese sauce and the kids Mac and cheese. It was great. My one complaint was the cold outside when we sat out there as we thought "Hey this is FLORIDA, let's just do it!" haha
Time for some shopping and photo op's, pin collecting and trading then off to AKL for some sleep.
Tomorrow:
Check out of AKL and into POR----was it uneventful?!?
