March 4th - Day 1
My plan this morning was to wake up at 3:30 am, this way I would have plenty of time to get ready and NOT feel rushed. The alarm on my cell phone went off twice just like it was supposed to, but stupid me just couldnt wake up and I fell right back to sleep after the 2nd alarm. At 4:35 am my SIL came up to my room to wake me up.
OHHHHH POOOOO!!! I jumped out of bed and into the shower. ((The plan was to leave at 5:00 AM)) Luckily the night before all the girls took their baths and SIL styled their hair, so all they had to do was get themselves dressed and have the rest of their hair put up in pony tails. I on the other hand looked like a chicken with its head cut off
But I think I got ready in record time!!
Once everyone was near ready, my nephew drove Will and Victor to the airport with all of our luggage and then came back to pick the rest of us up.
((breanna, valerie, Reya, Marsha, and Jayden waiting for nephew to pick us up))
Once we arrived at the airport, check in was smooth and easy. No wait!!
Security also didnt have much of a wait,( but wasnt as easy.) Having to take an infant through security with a stroller, and car seat isnt fun. I had also pulled another blonde move and placed 5 oz. of water in each of Jaydens baby bottles. So then the TSA agent had to test the liquid in each bottle. Obviously on the way back Ill remember NOT to put any water in the bottles until after we pass the security check point.
A funny thing did happen while going through security though. Victor (DBIL) was wearing a sweatshirt. One of the TSA employees told him he had to take it off and run it through the xray machine. Victor didnt argue, so he took off his shirt. Well, he wasnt wearing anything else underneath it, so theres my DBIL in the middle of the airport with NO shirt on! The TSA guy looked at him, and was like Ummmmm
never mind, put it back on, put it back on It was a little embarrassing but hilarious at the same time. Everyone was like look at the naked guy!
After checking in and going through security we had an hour to spare. Marsha and I took the girls for a little walk through the concourse and bought them some snacks before we boarded the plane. I also bought myself a quiznos sandwich to bring onto the plane with me.
Reya was so excited to fly
I on the other hand was secretly having a panic attack. I was NOT looking forward to flying at all!
Heres some photos of everyone waiting to board
At 7:40 AM we were finally able to board the aircraft. Jayden fell asleep in my arms 20 minutes beforhand , so I was hoping he would stay asleep for as long as possible.
That wasnt the case and woke up once I sat down in my seat.

Well, I hate to leave you all hanging. But its midnight here and Im exhausted out of my mind. Everyone else is fast asleep and snoring. So its time for me to go to bed. Ill try to post some more before we leave for Hollywood Studios in the morning. ((No promises))
Up next: How did Jayden do on the flight? Did we get to eat at TREX like I wanted to? Whats the weather like? How do we like our accommodations?
Still scared out of my mind though.
Don't worry about the flight....it'll be just fine.....sending
If it was me--it would be ordered because there is no way I am cooking the day before we leave!!
over Victor and his shirt. That is SO funny! I already told DH and I'll be telling quite a few other people that story today. Thanks for the laugh!
Can't wait to find out how everything goes
