WDW Day 1

Turkey Legs mmmmm......
We're here!
Girls waiting at airport.
Cinderella's Castle

Our adventures started at the airport with a flight to Seattle and then an overnight flight to Orlando. We arrived at 7:20 am their time which is 3 hours ahead of us here in Washington. Of course no one could sleep on the plane. I hate flying. No one got sick though so that was good.

We were picked up by a bus promptly that took us to Disney's Fort Wilderness. The service even picks up your luggage and delivers it to your room. We were very excited to hear that our cabin was ready for us and that we could check in early. We showered as quick as we could and headed by boat to the Magic Kingdom. It's huge! Like 3 times bigger than Disneyland! We spent the day visiting our favorite rides from California's Disneyland. I have to say that almost all of the rides are better at WDW as well as the queue areas. So much attention to details it's amazing!

With no sleep the night before, we headed home at a decent time. When we got back to our cabin our food had been delivered as well as our luggage. I ordered food for the week from a grocery delivery service. The only thing wrong was that 1 package of hot dogs was missing and Bethanne's luggage. I didn't really care about the hot dogs, but Beeps needed her luggage. Dave spent over an hour trying to chase it's whereabouts down and finally called one of his admin. staff at work to help him. It took her 15 minutes to find out what happened to Beeps luggage and to find out where it was and when it would arrive! Dave laughed about that one. Beeps luggage had been sent from Seattle to Fairbanks Alaska but at least they had sent it on to Orlando and it would arrive that evening. I went to bed and Dave stayed up. It was kind of a wild night. I guess I woke up and tried to explain to him that it was ok to buy golf balls as gifts and that yes...I was awake and knew what I was talking about?!?!?!? The kids woke up at midnight and said we were late and that it was time to get up and go! See what sleep deprivation can do to you!!

Tidbits:
