Alrighty buzzers... I am now unpacked and pictures are downloaded. Time to start the TR!

We flew out of Providence (PVD) on Thursday the 16th at 6:30 am. I went online 24 hours in advance to check in myself, DH, and DD14. I was able to check in me and DH but it would not allow me to check in DD14. We have A boarding so I am hoping when we get to the airport we can have her board A also. Wednesday was a flurry of last minute packing, and cleaning. We wake up at 2:30 on departure day. We are all set and ready to go by around 3:15. Short drive to Providence took around 20 min. Unfortunatly, Southwest's ticket counter doesn't open until 5. So we have to wait. We chalk it up to Disney practice lol. When we finally get to check DD14 in, we find out why we couldn't check her in online. She was on "the list". We get it all straitened out, and the nice people at Southwest let her board with us in A, even though she is now listed as a C. The flight was uneventful, thankfully. We even arrived 15 minutes early in Orlando. DD14 was very confused as to why we didn't need to go to baggage to pick our our luggage. I told her it was "disney magic". We got a bit turned around in MCO but finally found the Magical Express checkin. We were a bit dismayed to see all the long lines of school groups and was hoping that they were not going to the same resort as us. When we were finally able to board our magical express and found out that we were surrounded by school groups. However our disappointment was quickly relieved to realize that after we stopped at All Star Music we were the only ones left on the bus going to All Star Movies! There was not a long line at check in, unfortunatly our room was not ready yet. No problem let's check our luggage and hit the parks. A nice CM stopped us on our way to the luggage, and asked us if we would do a survey. We had to keep a expense journal, and when I send it in, I will recieve a $25 gift card. Cool it will help me with my trip report!
