My son got to answer the phone this morning to Mickey. We had a PS and Kona Café but decided to eat at the resort and hang out until they picked up our bags that were getting transferred to FW.

It started to rain that morning. No problem since we were just meeting everyone and would not actually start our true WDW adventure till 5 pm tonight.

We took our time and rode the monorail up front which was cool for DH and I. It was raining also that was different. We took the boat to FW from the Magic Kingdom, boy was that hard walking past that and not being able to go in yet. One more day to wait for the MK. When we took the boat my parents called they had made it to FW and were just checking in. We got to FW no problem on the boat. And they told us to catch the Orange bus to the bike barn to pick up our golf cart. I only rented this because I thought it would be nice to play with since we would more then likely beat my family there. Since we didn’t go to breakfast we were late. Well it took forever to get the cart and while we were waiting it started to torrential downpour.

I called my parents and they were still at the check in some kind of problem and they needed me.??. Now this is the trip of a lifetime for my father. He has dreamed of taking his girls and their families to WDW for their first trip since I can remember. He let my mom and I plan it but he paid for it all. Hence the three parts of our trip. Our first two days was just so my kids could see Sea World. That is why we did not go into the parks at all, we felt it would not be right without Grandpa to lead the way. Well the travel agent they used was not familier with WDW and got all the reservations mixed up.
One of the two cabins was cleaned and ready for us but she had that under our name not my parents and I needed to be there to sign for it even thought it was with my father credit card that paid for it. The other cabin was not ready. So the family sat around for close to an hour waiting for us to get there and then all 12 of us, all our luggage, and all the groceries were piled into the one cabin. I have to say at this point you would think we were squished in but the cabins were great size not a lot of sitting room but plenty.

Now my family was soaked and our luggage was in transit waiting for the other cabin to open since it was transferred with my parents last name because our name was not suppose to be on this reservation. Around 4 the other cabin opened and the got our luggage to us at 4:15. We had just enough time to change and get to the bus to start the real trip.

Hoop-dee-doo here we come. We were all excited to be together and we got a table on the floor level right in the middle. It was awesome!! Well worth the money, the food was good and like always we were hungry. The entertainment surpassed our expectations. One of the actresses came and sat on my fathers lap and kissed his head he loved it. He told my mom he wasn’t going to wash it away all week. It was just perfect.

We all headed over to MGM for our first trip to the Parks. I thought my father would love to have everyone go to the T of T together and I was right. We got right on no wait at all and after the first time thay ran right back to do it again. My two children said one time was enough. We then had enough time to run to Fantasmic. What a awesome show.

We were in standing room only but all the way in the back so my kids were sitting on the railing. I was standing infront of them so they could hold onto me and not fall. I was in tears listening to my son. “Hey Ben, his older cousin, did you see that? Cool” “Wow that was awesome did you see that Ben?” “Get’tem Mickey” “Hey mom thanks that was awesome” And now I am in the magic for good.
