Day 1
The journey.
We woke up an hour to early on the morning of our flight as I had set the alarm to early by mistake, before I realised I had already woke up DD. We had breakfast and DD played on her DS while I was on the net.
At 7.10am DBF drove us to the airport and we were at bag drop by 7.30 am where the check in lady changed our seats to a row of 3 near the window with us having a spare seat as the flight had loads of empty seats. After going through security we went to starbuck and I had a coffee while DD has a smoothie and a blueberry muffin, which she didn’t eat as I got the wrong one, she wanted chocolate. After a stop at WH smiths for starbursts and magazines we went to the boarding gate as soon it was time to board. I gave DD a travel sick tablet as she gets air sick. Boarding was quick as there were not many people and the extra bag checks were done randomly.
The flight took off on time . We looked out of the window during takeoff to spot familiar sights as we live near the airport, we couldn’t see our house as the plane took off the Manchester way rather than Cheshire however we saw DD nana’s house. DD travel sickness worked as she wasn’t sick on takeoff.
During the flight I watched UP, I have never seen it before and I loved it, and the music to the film, must admit it made me a bit teary. DD mostly watched V kids.
For Dinner I had mushroom and chicken which was disgusting, DD had fish fingers and wedges which she didn’t touch.
About 6 hours into the flight I tried to give DD another tablet and she refused as she didn’t like it, she could not be convinced at all. Sure enough an hour later we had a dash to the toilet where DD was sick.
We landed at about 2pm and got through customs and immigration quickly before we went to get the magical express. Once on the Magical express we had a bit of a wait before heading off, the bus stopped at several resorts, (CSR, POP & CBR) before AKL and we were the last ones on the bus by then.
We checked in to the resort and found we were right at the end of a long corridor and the zebra trail. I thought to myself “typical” . We are always as far back in the resort, last trip we were in the furthest building at All stars music. Luckily the only time it bothers me is when we arrive and are trying to find the room with our bags.
Once in our room I was very impressed. Our studio was amazing with a lovely view over the savannah. It seemed massive to us after staying at por and All stars music.
After looking around the room we headed to find The Mara to get DD some dinner and some refillable mugs, we managed to find it after asking for directions. DD had chicken nuggets, with grapes and carrots as she hates the fries at WDW. After dinner we stopped at the shop and got DD some crocs as well as some milk, rice crispies, and juice for our studio. We watched TV for a bit and I spent some time on the internet to email DBF to let him know we arrived before going to bed.
