Since it's raining off and on here in Orlando (more on than off so far) I'll get started on this report. We made it to Orlando, 45 minutes late, but it wasn't the weather, it was the plane traffic in Philly, there were 10 planes in front of us to take off, it was like driving on the "Surekill" expressway in Philly. Anyway, getting the rental car at Dollar was painless, less than 15 minutes from the time we got in line to when we got in our car, all you PA people, take a look at my shirt! Anyway, that pic is at the resort, more on that later. The clouds were looking threatening, so I had to take a pic of them. We headed to our timeshare exchange in Kissimmee, it's not onsite, but it is pretty cool (but we will be at the HRH next weekend :) ). Here's a few pix here and here and me working on a trippy. We headed to the parks to get out HHN tix and replacement APs for Sherry and Zak, since they lost their's since last year:confused3. The girl at guest services was awesome, I think her name was Kathy, not 100% on that, but she was great. There was a problem with her computer or something, and it took a while to get all our stuff done, so she gave us some EPs for the day!! This was awesome, we weren't really planning on doing any rides, just maybe getting some pix and walking around a bit, but we had to go on some rides now. Not many pix of the parks yet. I only had the bigger camera with me, not the one I can fit in my pocket, so I put it in a locker to go on the rides. We did the Hulk, Spidey, JP (1st 2 Dinos were broke :sad2: ) and Fire on DD (my wife Sherry's 1st time on DD, I'm breaking her of her fear of coasters, last year it was the Hulk this year DD!) By this time it was around 6:45. IOA closed at 7, so we headed out!

We were all beat, so we went to The Super target near the Condo, got some food for the week and headed back to the condo. We were all going on like 2 hours sleep, so we hit the sack by 9! I haven't been to bed that early since 4th grade:lmao: . So that's it for now. Doing BMG tonight and tomorrow is HHN (1st night of 4) Hope you guys enjoy the report. Looks like the sun is coming out, time to head to the parks!!!!!

*I almost forgot, I met a couple from the Dis on the plane!! I forgot their names, but they are from Delaware, and their user name starts with RX, as they are both pharmacists. They were going for the VIP tour at HHN. Very nice people.
 
I'm thinking of doing HHN again tomorrow night...but won't have an EP...all depends on the weather.
 
First of all, while I'm glad you're there safe and off to a good start, I do not recall you asking MY permission to use my style of trip reportin :rolleyes1 I gots a patent on it ya know....:rolleyes:

....like driving on the "Surekill" expressway in Philly.

Unbelievable....amazing! :rolleyes:

Thanks for sharing.....look forward to more....but have a good time!
 

Glad you made it despite our crummy weather up here in the Northeast that day!

Rest up! Can't wait to hear about the rest.
 
I've been lax on getting this done, sorry about that! I came down with some kind of bug, had a little fever today, but that's not stopping me from going to HHN tonight! I'll try and get some more done when I get home later. Epcot is up in the air, depends how I feel in the morning?? Anyway, Blue Man Group was great, what I saw of it, I was running to the bathroom half the time, oh well, I might go see it again later in the week!

Oh, and sorry Barb, I should have asked :)
