Day One



We spent the morning doing some last minute packing and getting an early lunch on the way to the airport.

The airport experience went fine except they hurried us through and we realized at the gate that although we checked four bags, they gave us receipts for two of our bags and two of someone elses bags who was going to Chicago. we didn't know if they tagged two of our bags wrong or if they just gave us the wrong tickets. They didn't know either when we asked.

So we departed for Florida not knowing what bags we would have when we go there. By the way-if you stay at a Disney resort, they have Disney Magical Express. They will shuttle you to and from the airport. Also, when you arrive they will pick up your bags and deliver them to your room. When you depart, you can check in for your flight and check your luggage at the hotel instead of the airport. This was one of my favorite features of the whole trip.

The kids enjoyed their first airplane flights and we arrived in Orlando around 7 pm and got to our room around 8 pm. The All Star resort rooms are fairly inexpensive and very small. Think Motel 6 but much, much cleaner.

So we ate dinner in the hotel food court. Quesadillas and chicken strips were both great. Then we went swimming.

By the time we got back to the room, all four of our bags had magically appeared! We were very happy and went to bed looking forward to our day at Magic Kingdom.
