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!

We walked around the resort a bit to get our bearing and and scope out the scene. Took some pics. We are big on theme pics and goofy pics so you wall may get a laugh or two out of our pics lol.

Ok now time to hit MK! After a short bus ride, we finally enter the park around noon. We have 2 prioritys today. 1-Space moutain, 2-food!!! So we rush right to tomorrowland. SM has a 90 min wait!, so we fast pass it, but our time isn't until 5:30. So we decide to find some food and fast. We are famished! We hit cosmic rays because it is close by. Food was so so, but our cashier was from our hometown, which was kinda cool. After food it is the Carosel of Progress, which is a must do for us. I know it is corny and out dated but we like it... "its a great big beautiful tomorrow".... then comes the people mover (I'm sorry the TTA). Nice way to start the trip and see the crowd level (HIGH). From here, we headed over to Fantasyland. We scoped out the Teacups, but the wait was too long for our first day in Disney. But PhilharMagic had a 5 min wait to we headed in. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this show it is my favorite 3D show in all of WDW. There was a show going on at the Castle so we stoped briefly, but we all knew that was the time to try to get on rides! So we headed off to PoC. No wait! This was our first time since the refurb. It was cool! When we came out, Peter Pan was waiting to meet us lol. Peter quickly became my daughters favorite character and we spent the entire trip looking for his pins so she could pin trade! It is now around 4pm and we are soooooo beat. We head over to Liberty Square because we have a 5:35 ADR at Liberty Tree Tavern. We were hoping to have it moved to later so that we can go back and unpack and relax a bit. No such luck! So we go on Haunted Mansion 5 min wait! We realize that we will never have the energy to make it back to tomorrow land for our SM fast passes. So we wait and find a nice family of 3 that was very grateful for the fast passes! Time to eat. Our waiter was not so great. He was slow, not only with our table but with all of his tables. We could see everyone was frustrated. He never asked us if we wanted more food, even though it was quickly devoured. It was just not a great expierence. I don't think we will be going back there without characters present. After dinner we headed to our room. We had a towel Mickey awaiting us! It was nice to unpack and veg out a bit after a long day.

Day 2 will be coming later... I hate when real life gets in the way of MB
