[2xcited2sleep]

Hi Kristen! I'm climbing aboard and can't wait to hear more about your trip. You're off to a great start. I made Dawn's mexican lasagna a few weeks ago too and loved it! OMG I would have been positively panicked had I seen that on the plane. That is not good! Glad you made it safely and can't wait to hear what happens next!

 

[MeMom]

Anyway, there WILL be an update this weekend and we WILL land in Orlando and get to Disney. Stay tuned!

I'm just peeking in while there's a lull in the action as we get ready for our Disney Day party. Can't wait to see awesome real Disney pictures from you today!

So I failed on updating last night. Chris has been working on his car like crazy for the past 3 days and I got stuck last night outside holding a light so he could finish before today Anyway, there WILL be an update this weekend and we WILL land in Orlando and get to Disney. Stay tuned!

Oh lord girl. The car thing. Again. Here ya go- . Wow, you got to be the light girl?! Haha, not. Tell Chris he owes you!

 

[k_reile]

wow...that plane would have freaked me out too! I like to fly but am nervous the whole time. I've seen you around on memoms reports so I thought I'd stop by!

Hey, thanks for joining in! Wasn't the lasagna just DELICIOUS!? My BF and I can't wait to make it again. I got a little nervous about the plane but its honestly freaking me out more now then when I was actually on the plane!

I'm just peeking in while there's a lull in the action as we get ready for our Disney Day party. Can't wait to see awesome real Disney pictures from you today!

Hey MeMom! Hope your Disney Day party is going great! I'm sure Brooklynn and Bella are enjoying themselves. Going to update in just a bit

Oh lord girl. The car thing. Again. Here ya go- . Wow, you got to be the light girl?! Haha, not. Tell Chris he owes you!

that freakin car, I'm gonna crash it one of these days on him! I was soooo thrilled to be the light girl, let me tell you!

The plane was a little freaky! Glad you came by, hope you stick around!

So when I last left off we had just taken off from JFK airport and we were on our way to Disney!! Here we are right as we got to flying altitude, happy but tired!

The flight was pretty uneventful and took off on time. I kept falling asleep on and off the whole flight. When they came around for our drink orders I was sleeping so I did miss that. I woke up shortly after Chris had ordered a coke and ate some of my teddy grahams.

Chris likes flying

Delta flights have a little screen in the seat in front of you and there's games and music and TV on them. Everything cost money so we were playing the in-flight quiz game which was free. It was trivia against everyone else on the plane and was pretty entertaining. So we finally landed in Atlanta for our layover around 8 or so. I was happy to be almost to Disney!

The airport was pretty empty.

The time was really catching up to us.

Finally we boarded the plane to Orlando. After another uneventful flight with Chris and I both sleeping on and off and playing the in-flight quiz game, we landed in Orlando!! Our first site of Florida

We were SOOO excited! (I look possessed here but its cute that we were so excited LOL)

We landed around 11:20, earlier than we were supposed to! We got off the plane after a quick toilet stop headed towards the Magical Express counter.

Our first ride on the "fake" monorail

After the 6 mile walk from the terminal to the ME counter (with my carry on bag that weighed 900lbs) we saw this

The line was ridiculously long! I hoped in my head this would not be a sign of things to come because Chris was already complaining! Actually the line moved really quickly though because they had a lot of CMs working.

So by about 12:15 we had gotten through the whole ME check-in line and were finally going to board a bus! Here's the first Disney bus of our trip, I was soooo happy!

(continued from last post)

Our bus was full but after a short ride we finally started seeing Disney buses and signs! I was literally boiling over with my excitement at this point.

We were almost thereeeee

Finally we pulled up to All-Star Sports, then All-Star Music and after what felt like an eternity we pulled up to our resort, All-Star Movies!!

Quickly we got off of the bus and headed in to check-in, hoping our room would be ready.

Notice the back of Chris's head in that picture above. That would be a common occurrence throughout the rest of the week. He started to get a liiiiiiittle frustrated with my excessive picture taking and would keep walking in hopes that I would stop taking pictures and go with him

So we checked in with a nice, older female CM. I can't remember her name! She gave Chris his "1st Visit" button and both of us "Happy Anniversary!" buttons. I asked her about the Mears bus I had been wondering about for getting us to Islands of Adventure that Tuesday and she told me that they did have them and gave me the number for Mears to call and make a reservation. Within a few minutes we were checked in and heading to our already ready room! I was so happy to get to show Chris how cool our resort was with the lifesize icons and the pool and everything! So, would we be happy with our room? Would it be clean? Would we be far from the main Cinema Hall? Well you'll just have to wait to find all that out!!

i was the same way too getting on the Magical Express when DH and I went in Sept 07. It was our first (and will be only) adult only trip! It was my first time without my parents and Trents techincally first time (he was there when he was 5 but barely remembers it but for some strange reason remembered the line for space mountain and the fort wilderness campgrounds)...so it was really exciting to go and have it be his kind of first time! Course now I will have a hard time doing adult only since we'd had Caleb...I'd feel to guilty going without him!

Aw, you guys are so cute.

Our first ride on the "fake" monorail

Yes! The airport "monorail"! Did you notice that the voice is the same guy as WDW monorail?!

I was talking to you when you were in line here! I'm cool.

AHHH, A DISNEY BUS! After seeing the first Disney bus is usually when I start screaming my head off.

Notice the back of Chris's head in that picture above.

HEY CHRIS, WAIT FOR US! Haha, that is gonna be Chris and the B/F next year!

 

[OneTreeHillAddict]

You're there!!! Woo Hoo! I have a request though. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make your pics bigger. I'm going blind trying to see everything. You guys look so excited! I love the pic of you two looking all excited!

This trip was Chris's technically 1st time too. He was there like 12 yrs ago when he was 12 and only went to MK for like half a day. So we too considered it his first time! the ME line was long but didn't take a long time to get through. Maybe when Caleb gets a little older you'll be able to take another adults only trip!

Aw, you guys are so cute.

Thanks!!

I didn't notice!!

Ya know i just read your last update on your TR and said to myself that i really should make my pictures bigger LOL is there a quick way to do that one photobucket aka not doing each picture individually?

Glad a picture pro like you likes what I've taken, especially since my camera STINKSSSSSSSSS

[michael's mom]

Great start! I got just as giddy when I saw my first Disney bus this trip. You inspired me to start my TR earlier than I planned...I already have days 1 and 2 done and wasn't planning on starting until tomorrow!

 

[Goofy22]

Your there! Yay!

 

[wdwgirl03]

Arriving at Disney is a great feeling, I don't blame you for being excited!
