Disney World 2009 - Day 1 Traveling

As I mentioned before, this was going to be a stress free vacation.  Stress free huh? A winter storm is going to hit the east coast on the day we leave. Ring-ring airline calls us, your flight has been delayed. Damn stress setting in and we haven't even left yet. How long of a delay, only an hour whew. Ok, That gives me time to check-in for our flight online, successful but noticed time has changed again which would cause us to miss our connecting flight. REALLY STRESSED NOW. Tiff asks me to call the Guy from airport who called us to inform us of the delayed flight. He gave vague information on our flight but suggested to switch airlines, which he could do for me while I travel to the airport. Awesome, crap flight leaves in an hour gotta pack vehicle and drive in ice and snow. Yeah me. Well with little issues we get everything taken care of. Get on plane and have a great flight to Philadelphia.

We have time to have lunch and relax for a little before our next flight. Walk up to our terminal and WHAT our flight is delayed -UH. During this time I use my phone to check on the 'old flight' out of state college. It was canceled, THANK YOU, united employee for talking me into switching airlines and flights!

Luckily our next flight was only a two hour delay and it was taking us to our final destination, Orlando. Arriving in Orlando was awesome, we walked out of our terminal up the concourse, and sat down and ate Wendy's. Funny, I know, we travelled many hours to eat at a Wendy's in an airport! Anyways, that wasn't the cool part, we took the train (tram) to the main concorse to catch our bus, but when we made it to the main concourse we saw the Disney store, and a huge holiday tree. Just amazing! Then we went down stairs to the catch the bus, that is right staying a disney resort we didn't have to worry about our checked lugage. We walked to the magical express caught our bus and on our way to our resort. Noah thought the bus trip was awesome, TVs came on and showed a little highlight of disney world. Of course, Noah being TV junky, wanted to watch it again.

Arriving at our resort was different, the check-in was normal, but then we had to wait for another bus. The Carribean beach resort was HUGE, not in the number of people staying, but the amount of land it took up. Trinidad South was the village that our building and room was at, and then Old Port Royal was the hub that the food court, restaruant, gift shop, etc was at.

Anyways, the check-in was smooth, waiting for the bus kind of stressful we just wanted to get to our room, and making it to our room seemed like forever. But when we made it to our room, Noah got so excited for his gift, to make the first night special Tiff and I had a basket of goodies delivered for Noah. He absolutely loved it.

After settling in the room, Noah and I decided to walk to Old Port Royal to check it out and get some fruit for breakfast (Remember tiff was pregnant). Anyways, it was so late when Noah and I were walking there we got to watch the Epcot fireworks, truely amazing! And did I mention cold, it got down to upper 40s lower 50s. After watching the fireworks, we finished walking to Old Port Royal, and by the time we made it inside, Noah fell asleep. Poor Kid
