DAY 1- continued;
You know, at the end of our first day, I was thinking "this is the worst day I ever had at WDW"... trying to become more self-aware, I really explored this feeling I had:
1- We landed late (losing 2 precious hours of WDW time
)
2- We "missed" the first ME bus (not really, but that's how it felt at the time)
3- Pop was CROWDED and full (I never seem to get to go during "slow" times)
4- There was a monsoon when we arrived at MK for our first night (well, not a monsoon really, but a serious sideways raining thunderstorm)
5- No amount of poncho layering could possibly make the MK at all do-able in said storm
6- Our server at Chef Mickey's gave us the wrong bill
But really, I was wrong. Simply, our first day was different than I had anticipated. It didn't make it a "bad" day- just not what I had planned. I turned each negative thing around and started to think-
1- We were able to get out of Charlotte before the snow cancelled our flight
2- We were able to sit in the front seats on the ME bus, and met a nice family who sat behind us. (I told them about MB)
3- Pop was crowded, but everyone was pleasant and check-in went very quickly. The best part was our room location- we were in building 1 (1950's) in a great location!! Ground floor, right next to Lady- close to the food court and the buses.
4- Even though it was raining sideways,
, we made it to Chef Mickey's on time for our first dinner of the trip.
5- We were tired from travelling, so we needed to sleep instead of staying out late at MK that night.
6- Chef Mickey's was very good, and even though the service could have been better, I ordered a very delicious mango margarita.
So, day 1 was a great day in retrospect. I'll attempt to post some photos...
