We had gone to Disney last June/July and rented points from a fellow MBer. We had a great trip but had gone about it all wrong. We tried to do the parks as much as possible, sometimes staying out late. We all tired pretty quickly, especially the kids. We stayed for 10 days at SSR(one night I believe was ASSports). My Dh husband said we would never go back to Disney for that long or in June. Fast forward to October.............
This was not going to be a Disney vacation year, we were going to maybe go to the beach for a week. But, in October I received a PIN code for free dining thru the month of June. I explained to my DH how we would relax more on this trip. He agreed to a quote!! I got a quote for 2 separate weeks since we were not too sure which week DH would get off. We knew we would cancel one of them. Out of curiosity, I asked what the price for the 2 weeks was and we were shocked--DH said we could go for 2 weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(as long as he could get the time).
I was able to get all the ADR's that we wanted, including LeCellier. We only went to one(LeCellier) for reasons I will explain later.
So, with the car all packed up we headed to my DS's school on the last day to pick him up...we were officially on vacation!! Dropped the dog at my in-laws and headed south!! We spent the first night in WV and got up the next day and drove to Atlanta to visit family for one night. We left Atlanta around 3:3o pm one June 6th with intentions of driving 4 or 5 hours and stopping for the nite, then finishing the trip to WDW the next day. We were too excited and drove straight thru to Orlando and got a great room in a Holiday Inn Express 10 min from WDW!!
We got to POFQ around 1030 am and checked in. Our room was not ready so we hopped on the boat to DtD. We had a 5:30 pm ressie for TRex, but were all getting hungry and it was only 12:30. They were taking walk-ins, so I cancelled our later ressie and we ate at 1pm. TRex is a place you eat at for the atmosphere, although the food was not too bad. We did a little shopping and our room was ready!! We got building 2 like we requested with a nice view of the courtyard and fountain. We were on the 3rd floor. The first thing I noticed was how run down the room was-it really needed some updating!!!! There were goldfish crackers on the floor when we got to the room that were not put there by us!! Made me feel as if the room really was not too clean. The tile in the sink area felt a little sticky and the botthom of the tub was peeling up-something that I was nervous about and that one of the kids might cut their foot!
WE headed to the pool- my kids were vert excited to try out the pool!!!! Spent the rest of the day unpacking and exploring-walked over to POR and took the boat back.
Will continue more tomorrow-please let me know if this is too detailed and long winded!!!!!!!
