This was the first trip ever to WDW for my in-laws.

My parents were meeting us at WL to surprise the kids.

We had planned to leave the house on Dec 7th at 5:30am to pick up my DMIL and DFIL by 5:45am, be on the road by 6:00am and arrive at the airport in plenty of time for our 8:45am flight. But since were supposed to get five inches of snow overnight and it's about an hour drive to the airport, we decided to be at my in-laws house at 5:00 a.m. just in case the roads were bad.

We arrived at the airport in no time, even with all the extra snow. The snowplow crews did a good job of salting the roads overnight and being that it was so early in the morning, traffic was very low. We got to the airport in no time, went right through security and had about an hour wait prior to our flight. We were in the air on time and actually arrived 20 minutes early into Orlando.
