MegaPowersPT · 09-10-2009

We've been back for a couple of days now and I think it's time for my 1st TRIP REPORT!

Please, bear with me....

mousemom · 09-10-2009

YAYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!! I love all these trip reports!!!!

princesslindsey · 09-10-2009

Yay! Its like a flood of TRs! Can't wait to read yours!

dznygrl · 09-10-2009

YAY!!! I am patiently waiting for the TR to begin!! (Okay, you could probably add an "im" in front of the word patiently...

)

MegaPowersPT · 09-10-2009

As always, it was just the two of us. Carla (23) and myself (23). While we normally book through WDW directly, we instead booked a vacation package through Southwest Vacations at a GREAT price. However, we decided to add a day to the trip and they failed to cooperate with us. All we wanted to do was leave a day early for the same flight and they wouldn’t allow us to unless we canceled the package altogether. To make a long story short, we booked a one way flight with JetBlue. The only issue with that was we had to fly out of Boston instead of Providence. (I live 10 mins away from Providence, RI.)

Mon. Aug 31st:

We woke up at 4:30AM and drove to Providence where we took a bus to Logan Airport in Boston. Our flight was at 8:15AM. We were soooo excited to fly JetBlue since they have TV’s on board. (We always fly Southwest…but we may not go back!) We landed at MCO around 10:30AM and headed for ME. When we came in March, the queue was FILLED….we had NO line this time! YAY!! We checked in and were on our bus to Pop Century in 10 mins.

We arrived to the resort and had no problem in getting a room in building 3 of 50‘s. We requested a room on the 2nd or 3rd floor with a king size bed. We’ve never stayed on the first floor but we always thought it would be nosier down there. We were right next to the pool, which happened when we stayed in the 90’s building. It turned out to be a reaaaallllyyy bad idea. There was so much noise coming from the pool throughout the week it drove us crazy. We never had a problem before until now. Oh well. We immediately got into our “Day 1” routine. We had lunch at the food court and headed to the pool for an hour or so. We then got changed and headed to Downtown Disney for the usual shopping/browsing/people watching. Had dinner at Planet Hollywood (FREE DINING) and then came out to terrible THUNDERSTORMS

. It was really pouring. This was our 6th Disney trip together, and it never rained more than 5 mins. We had planned to hang out some more at DD but instead we ran to our bus and called it a night at around 8PM. This kinda worked out in my favor because Brett was on Monday night football!

monrailrider · 09-10-2009

We were there on the 31st also, in the Lady building...that really was quite a doozy of a storm (we checked out on Sept 1).
