Our 14th trip to WDW and our first on DDP and also our first attempt to post live. We'll see how we get on. 
Arrived on the 4th July after excellent flights with United. Left Glasgow on time and arrived in Newark early - very helpful for our scheduled 90 minute turn around.
Immigration cleared very quickly: plenty of officers and we were off the plane relatively quickly so cleared in about 10 minutes giving us loads of time to catch the Airtrain to terminal C and get something light to eat before our flight to MCO. This was delayed by about 50mins but made good time and we touched down 5 mins early at 4pm. 
They did ask at Newark if anyone was prepared to get the next flight down for $200 each and guaranteed seats in 1st class (only 90mins later) and we did volunteer, however a couple of no shows meant we could catch our original connection. 
Magical Express for the first time to OKW was good - just a shame we were the 2nd last drop off. We had phoned prior to our visit to request accessible accommodation (DH going in for knee replacement surgery when we return home and so quite hobbly at the moment) but were given a 2nd floor room in building 30. I'm sure this is lovely but was a bit of a trek for him to the bus and the nearest pool as well as 2 flights of stairs up and down to the room.
Getting a change of room was a bit of a problem (fully booked, 4th of July and all that) however Ahmed was a star and we were moved to 6220 near Hospitality House (and Cyrano as we've since learned) - still on the 2nd floor but in a building with a lift 
Had planned on catching 4th July fireworks somewhere but after the travelling, waiting for a room and unpacking we just pick up a CS at Goods and get an early night.

) before our FP window. As we head over notice that FP time is showing 11.10 so given that TT is closed we pick up another one before we ride. 
) as the queue is already out of the door and the wait time is showing as 40mins. We ask a cast member about breakfast options and he says either the character one at Hollywood and Vine or Starring Rolls, so we plump for the latter (don't want to use a TS for breakfast again) and have a bagel and cream cheese and coffee. Decide against using a snack credit here (DH thinks it would be better spent on a butterfinger cupcake or some other similar delicacy
