Don't worry, there won't be a daily report! lol. We stayed overnight at Philly airport hotel for our early flight. Joked about putting ds18 in foam rubber at this point because last year he injured his foot on the hotel table before we even left!! Made it safely out this time!! We stayed at club level from July 18-28th. Our 7:55am flight from Philly should've gotten us to Orlando at around 9:30. Instead, our flight was delayed and we ended up having to switch planes. Didn't arrive in Orlando until 11:30 or so which made check-in at RPR around 12:30. (And it seemed as though the rains followed us from home....only slowed to a drizzle the first 2 days) Luckily, I had taken all my notes, names, dates, and ressie #s with me because the girl said "I'm sorry, your room is not listed as club level". After reading these boards and taking note of various problems that have been encountered (thanks to everyone on these boards!!) anyway, I didn't budge but instead pulled out all the info. A manager was called over and things got settled with us being on club level.....room 3755, waaaay at the end of the hallway, as far away from the elevator as possible....but, club level 
I could've opted for the other solution which involved staying in one room until Tues, moving to another until Thurs. and still another for the remainder of the 10 nights. The room was not ready so we took our keys and went to the parks. First stop was at Nascar Cafe for lunch....food good as we remembered from last year. First chance to use our AP cards for a discount.......forgot. lol Over to US to see if my online pref. AP confirm. # worked.....it did, and actually the lady who took our pictures for the passes seemed like she really enjoyed her job. Made fun of ds15 because his picture didn't come out.......out of ink, but joked about him breaking the camera. She told ds18 that he needed to take his hat off for pic so they could see his nice hair. Mind you, he'd had the hat on since about 6:30 that morning and it was now around 1:30 after the Florida heat and humidity....lol We then wandered the parks riding here and there, saying hi to Louis in front of the pizza place........reminds ds18 that he's hungry again, so slices all around........can't let him eat by himself 
Hit up MIB a couple of times in a row.....after 3pm fotl full access isn't bad at all. Around 4:30 I called RPR and our room was now ready. Going into that room was just as exciting as last year! And the view wasn't that bad...distant view of luau area. Our luggage was brought up and we started unpacking. After about 10 min. we decided that wasn't any fun and could be done later. Off to IOA!!! Got intrigued watching the fountain by Sinbad for quite a while. Never got to see it "in action" last year.......what a riot!! Can't believe it's park closing time already. Arriving in our room about 10:30ish.......reeeeaaallly wishing we had finished unpacking 
Turndown service has been there, and there's the milk pitcher on ice with a tray of delicious cookies. It's amazing how much junk you can snack on in the park and STILL have room for those cookies! Tomorrow my mom arrives around 10:30am for a two night stay. I headed downstairs to the desk to verify the details of her room...I want things to run smoothly with her check-in.
