Well here goes:
SATURDAY Dec. 6th:
While I finished my last minute packing my DH decided to finally fix the leaking downstairs toilet (mind you I have been trying to get him to fix this for over a week) WHY now.? Well he was just having a hard time getting parts off and the new parts on, using some "not so Disney words"
I finally told him to just turn off the water in that bathroom and fix it when we get back. By now he was trying my patience and had been riding my last nerve like a roller coaster(not a Disney one either).He finally decided to do as I said and fix it when we get back.
After a sleepless night, I couldn't sleep because I had Mickey, Minnie, Winnie and Goofy running around in my head.
SUNDAY Dec.7th
We(My DH ,I was already up allnight)) got up at 5:00am got dressed and loaded our suitcases in the car said goodbye to the cats and dog and of course our son. Left the house at 6:30am. Our flight is at 9:00am we wanted to get there early to check in our luggage and grab a little something to eat for breakfast.
We made it, we are at the airport and ready for Disney.
The only food court in the area we are at is a Quizno's so we decide to get something to eat to hold us over...let's just say YUCK.
Time to board the plane. I'm so excited I could wet myself.
We get on the plane and hear the pilot say we should be able to make the flight in 1 1/2 hours instead of the 2 due to great winds....I am on
the quicker the better to see Disney.
We land at 11:10am and decide to check our own luggage so we can get them without waiting on them to be delivered (whenever) by the resort. So we didn't put the ME luggage tags on. One of our better decisions THANKS for those who had suggested on doing this.
We gather our luggage from the carousel head to the ME area only to find a line that was a mile long....everyone kept saying it was the worst they had ever seen...there was alot of reasons Pop Warner was checking in plus the Cheerleaders. Thank god we heard them talking about who they were or I could have accidentally said some not so pleasant things that I have heard about Pop Warner (I won't say where I heard them ). There were parents in front and behind us that had sons in the competiton.
It took us 1 hour and 20 minutes just to check in and then another 30+ minutes waiting in line to be loaded on the bus we give our luggage to the bus driver and get on the bus. We are on our way.
I can't beleive I'm in Disney. After so much waiting it seems so surreal. Quick pinch me don't let it be a dream. OUCH that hurt.
We get to our resort All Star Movies at 2:35 pm and no lines to check in
Our Cm here was so sweet and friendly, our AAA agent Gail had told them it was a celebration of 5 year remission for me and for them to treat us good...the CM gave us anniversary buttons to wear.Which we did proudly. My DH wore his everyday, without any nudging from me. We had so many people telling us "Happy Anniversary" how many years?? After a while it was just so much easier to just say 32 our years married instead of my remission years. It seems as if every CM noticed the buttons and so did so many guests.
They have a our room ready...mind you we didn't care which area so we got room 6953 in the Herbie area. The needed refrigerator was brought up within 15 minutes.
It was on the 3rd floor and at the end of the walkway 2 rooms away from the corner mind you it didn't have a view but that was okay. I proceed to go in and do my usual check for cleanliness, clean linens and bedbugs
It all passed my inspection we dump our luggage off freshen up a little then head to HS we had made a ressie for Sci-Fi Diner for 5:25pm.
We head out to the busses and didn't have to wait got on the HS bus. We are off to such a good start I am hoping the rest of the week is just as great.
We get to HS and we were hungry so decided to check and see if they can get us in early it is 4:00pm and guess what they had an opening
The couple in front us was turned down must be our lucky day.
Our waiter was so nice and funny it was always joking with us.Of course some of the jokes were more than a little corny...but hey we are in Disney so laugh.
We both ordered the ribs/fries cheesecake dessert for me and apple crumb cake for DH. Food was okay....service nice. Total would have been $63.20 but we are on the DDP.Our bellies are so full.
Left the restaurant and walked around we decided to do the Great Movie ride which was a mistake for me.....as I have stated on here before I have an interstim implant unit which is like a pacemaker for the kidneys and bladder it is implanted in my right hip and works similar like a heart pacemaker it can not be near an magnetized fields or it will re set or worse. It just re-set mine so it was sending shocks in an area that wasn't pleasant and my programer was back at the resort.But I just used alot of pixie dust and beared it.
This ride apparently has a magnet field because it set my unit in a tizzy. I did get it settled down when we got back to the resort later that night, but it was difficult.
We left the ride and wondered over to see Fantasmic we got their early and waited great seats ....weather just a little nippy low 60's but we did have our fleece jackets on....Love this show we had seen it before but this time it was better for me.
After show we walked over to see the Osborne lights and took lots and lots of pictures. Just loved the lights and watching peoples faces especially those of the children was amazing. DH had to drag me away kicking and screaming.....no, no don't make me go.
We walk around for just a little while longer when I decide I have to get back and re-program my unit.
We are getting tired from not sleeping the night before so we decide to call it a night we head back to our resort it is now 10:00pm no wait on buses we lucked into one waiting on us.
Got to our resort and DH decided he is a little hungry me I am still full from Sci- Fi, so we buy our mugs and he ordered a meatball sub took it back to our room. He said it was pretty good . It is now 10:45pm we watched a little t.v. unpacked a few things (cosmetics) we learned a long time ago to live out of our suitcase it makes it easier. lay out next days clothing and finally call it a night.Only complaint is the beds are small we are used to a queen size and theses beds are just a hair bigger than a twin size, but we snuggled up and fell asleep
Up at 4:00am waiting for DH to wake up I showered then waited for Stitch to wake DH up he knew nothing about the wake up call. As you will find out there is a few secrets that I didn't tell my DH I wanted to surprise him.
BTW...I have so glad we checked our own luggage in we heard it took until late night and in some cases early morning for people to get their luggage due to how crowded it was, with Pop Warner..
Enough for today have to get ready so when DH gets home at 12:00pm today I will be ready we are starting our holiday festivities. My cousin is having us over today to exchange gifts and have dinner together.
