Perfect timing trip 2009 7 days at Beach Club

[Tink_Or_Belle]

This is my 1st trip report on these boards I think? If I did one last year it was probably crappy and not very well thought out. So we will call this the 1st trip report just don;t look back and see if there was another one.

Cast
Me 35 mom planned made the reservations made everything perfect

dh 37 dad does not love Disney but did have some fun this year

dd 12 (13 next month) just when we thought the youn gest was old enough that we would not have any temper tantrums or meltdowns along comes pre-teen daughter more on this on day 5

dd 10 so glad to be on the adult dining plan rode everything his trip

ds 6 enjoyed everything except Tower of Terror and Rockin Rollercoaster ... he refused to try RnR after doing Tower of terror he did finally like Dinosaur Test Track Thunder Splash Soarin Evertst all the rides he had not been ready to try until this year


we were in Disney from September 11th til September 17th at the Beach Club on Deluxe Dining plan we did the dessert party, the halloween party, the pirates league all 4 parks Downtown Disney, a resort photo session and many many photo pass photos. If you have read there are not photographers around I'd not agree I uploaded our cards yesterday and I have 517 photos before edits and I believe one photopass card is still in our lost luggage that should be fed-exed to us by tomorrow at 4:30

here is a photo of us I'll be back this evening with day 1

we live just over 2 hours from the airport we flew out of so we drove down the night before our trip started.

Since we were in Kansas City anyway we decided to go eat at T-Rex and let the youngest build a dino rather than wait in the long lines to build one at Downtown Disney.

we then stayed at a hotel by the airport one with a shuttle and cheap parking we got to the hotel at 11PM and needed to set a wake up call for 3AM to be on the shuttle by 3:30

We flew airtran the flight was ontime and we even landed 10 minutes early. Thus the beginning of our perfect timing. we walked to the Magical Express desk and there was no line ... we walked to the beach club bus they said how many? we said 5 they said there are 6 seats left go on through so we had no airport wait at all. We got to the hotel at 9:30 and our room was ready! 1526 waaaay down on the far end by the quiet pool but just minutes from epcot.

OK my photos are about 1/2 done uploading so I will wait to do the rest of day one when I have photos.

we went to Hollywood Studios had a GF photo session and ate at Cali Grill all on arrival day so I'll need the photos

we grabbed the kids some lunch at Rosies? The place down the street from Tower of Terror just a small lunch Little guy had chicken nuggets fries and a cookie with Root Beer the girls shared a cheeseburger fries carrot cake and a water (2 credits 88 left)

we then took a bus to Animal Kingdom Lodge we had arrived earlier than planned and DD really wanted to see it

they had a small place set up by their photopass desk to take photos too they were stopping people as they walked by we got a couple shots done there in our costumes after 1900 Park fare and before the Halloween Party on day 4 of the trip but they are on the photopass disk that is in the mail
