Hey everyone,
Just thought you guys might like to know that the trip report in my signature is going to be updated daily! I've invited people on the WB to share their reports/thoughts/etc. . . on it so maybe others will post on it too.

Happy reading!

Currently sitting in the Orlando Airport waiting for the first transport to the port. After a red eye from the west coast -- it is exciting for the day to finally be here.

Thanks Derek. There are quite a few people waiting for the bus. We have seen a cruise line bus or two but they are transporting people to WDW. I think we have another half hour or so before the first bus leaves for the port. They said the first bus will leave between 9:30 and 9:45. We can't wait to get this vacation started (and also get cleaned up from the long flight).

Well hope you get on one soon, and get your first glimpse of the Magic in an hour or so.

Good luck and great voyage. Wish we could be with you. Tried to talk the wife into booking Friday as three cabins were available. Oh well we'll wait for the trip back.

Okay, I just read all 43 pages, but have a few questions. For those of you flying in a day or two before the Eastbound, where are you staying? What kind of transfers are available? I am familiar with the routine at Port Canaveral, but not in LA.

I am staying @ Disneyland Hotel @DL,Aug 13th, I have booked my own transfers, but last time I booked transfers through DCL and they picked my party up at 11.15am at Grand Californian hotel, took luggage at 8am.

We're doing a split stay - 2 days at the Howard Johnsons and the last night at the Paradise Pier. We purchased the DCL transportation - gotta love the fact that they take your luggage that morning and you don't have to see or deal with it again until it magically shows up at your stateroom on board!

I hope your TA has booked that correctly and its the Grand Californian as the port of LA is a long way from the Grand Floridian, ( I know its the heat)
