Oh my we had a new bus driver and he was so nervous. We were in the front so we could see his papers and info, he needed to keep looking at yikes. He told us we were heading to the MK resorts, um what? He then proceeded to drive 40 miles an hour on the freeway and he was so nervous when traffic would merge onto the freeway. I didn’t enjoy this ride at all. I know everyone has to learn but this was not fun and took forever!!
Yay! Congrats! Too bad you weren't able to coordinate the dates with the new summer DAH nights though!Okay, I have to confess to all my fellow Disney lovers, I am going to renew our AP for another year.
We are going to go back to Disney in August I was able to book a trip with a great TA rate for WL from 8/15-8/20/18. It is early enough so it will not interfere with college for Andi and I was able to take vacation during this time. It is going to be so fun!! We love going in the boiling hot month of August. I have quite a large amount of money left on Disney GC's so this was a no brainer, right? If anyone is going at this time let me know!!
I thought about you and your husband on the ME, lol! I knew from your reports Steve would not have been happy!Finally here!
Right now we're planning on being there the 18th-25th, so if nothing changes hopefully we can finally meet! I have no idea at all what our plans are yet though lol; I work on everyone else's plans first and ours last now.
Ugh, we've had drivers like this. It really annoys Steve. But at least you got there, looking forward to reading more!
Pizza on vacation is a must! We enjoyed FQ, the size is nice not as huge as some of the others.Loving the pizza for breakfast!!!! My kinda gal.......
Looking forward to seeing FQ again, we did enjoy our stay there, albeit many years ago........
Doesn’t sound like a fun bus journey at all........but glad you made it safe and sound..........nervous drivers aren’t a good thing!
You had to take up that offer! It would have been a shame to have wasted it I really wish I was going back in August, too. I see that @ariane37 will be overlapping with you too. Hmmm... [the "hmmmm" all us Disers know so well ]
Very true!
I love that about my small town airport, too. Makes those super early flights a little less... early
Yes! I remember this from your previous trip!
Yum! This looks delicious!!!
Oh, dear... poor guy. But at that point, everyone just wanted to be there I'm sure. Too bad he didn't have someone with him to help guide him in his first week or so. You'd think Disney would have that kind of thing in place. Like a mentor program or something!
Excited to hear about your first afternoon at Disney!!! Those first moments are always some of the most magical of the trip
So glad to have you reading along!Just joining in!!
The pizza was a great start to our vacation.Mmmm pizza for breakfast!!
That's really unfortunate! I'd definitely be a little concerned. Everyone needs to learn sometime, but you'd think they'd have him in training without passengers, or at least with a supervisor there helping him out until he was ready to do the job confidently.
Well, you never know, I may need to see if we can add some days for this. I need a do over!Yay! Congrats! Too bad you weren't able to coordinate the dates with the new summer DAH nights though!
So nice to have you along for the report!Joining in!
I think food rules are out the window on vacation. Pizza and Hot dogs are fine for breakfastYumm, pizza for breakfast!!!!!
Oh that poor bus driver, thats got to be nerve-wracking but you would think he's been trained well enough without passengers.
Sure isThe Disney hmm is always a good sign.
Yes! Isn't that the best?!We were soon arriving at MK, the sights and sounds are always so welcoming on our first day!
That seems incredibly late! Especially since check-in is technically at 3pm, you'd think at least by then you'd be clear.I got the room ready text! It was 4:30.
Ahhh, me tooWe jumped into the FP line for Peter Pan and flying high over London and Neverland fairly quickly. I just love this ride so much.
YES!!! I couldn't agree moreWhen I ride PPF and HM I know I am in my happy place.
I was surprised how long it took to get our room, it probably was because of my specific room request.Sure is
Yes! Isn't that the best?!

YES!!! I couldn't agree more
Great update! Looking forward to some DS fun
I know! Maybe requesting a specific room on TP isn’t the best?? I have done this several other times and have always had our room before 3pmWow I cant believe the room wasn't ready at 3
Yay, Kari! Our first day was very nice. This is the first time in all of our trips I didn’t have a room by 3pm so not bad I guess.I'm here and for once not insanely late!!! Looks like a great trip so far. Though that is definitely a long time to have to wait for your room. Did you request more than one room or just one? We generally put in generic requests though we rarely seem to get them.
Thank you! We love the Tangled area and FL. Dinner coming up soon.What a great first day!! Love the pics of you two and glad you got to enjoy some of your favourites. I can't believe your room wasn't ready at 3:00.....I am happy to hear you got your preferred location though and am looking forward to seeing pictures of it. Can't wait to see where you had dinner in DS!
The bus ride was not good but after that we had really good bus mojo for most of the trip.Glad you made it to Orlando with no issues! The bus ride to the resort does not sound fun!
I'm glad you got the room you wanted, even if you had to wait a while to get it!
Your day at MK sounds great so far! Love all the photoshoot pics
You took some great pictures at the MK!!
I'm totally with you on the adorable little kids' meals, too. Such a great deal when you don't have a huge appetite.
Yum! This looks SO goodWe ordered the Guacamole Verde and chips.
