So here we go!

1200 miles, 4 tanks of gas, 3 hotel rooms and way too much money spent on Disney merchandise and we are home and had an amazing trip. We started off by heading down to Cocoa Beach on Friday the 6th and we stayed until Monday the 9th. On Monday we made our way to Disney for a four night stay on rented points at OKW followed by a one night stay at Port Orleans Riverside using an e-mail pin number discount. Overall the trip was excellent with lots of down time and only one small dose of drama which I'll get into a bit later. This was our first trip to WDW in almost two years which was strange for us because we previously had been going down every four to six months. However, last year we bought a house and the money had to go to more grown-up things.
Originally the trip started out small as a four day trip to WDW and somehow turned into a nine day trip including a stop off at my parents on the way back. Let's just say when we got home tonight we were SO happy to finally be back! Anyways, on with the trip report!

Cocoa Beach
When Dave and I go to the beach we normally hit Myrtle Beach or Hilton Head like any good South Carolinian so we'd never been to Cocoa Beach and we were excited to get there! So excited that we actually left home before 6 a.m.! In order to get to I-95 we have to go straight through a Columbia which can get pretty crazy around 9 a.m. (we used to live and work there so we knew we could count on this) so we wanted to be through the Columbia area before 8 a.m. to avoid any delays. The drive was pretty uneventful actually. We arrived at Cocoa Beach around three in the afternoon.

Here's a picture from the trip down..as you can probably guess..we are VERY excited to finally be on vacation!
