It's Disney Day!!!
I literally bounded out of bed at 3:30 in the morning to get ready for my shuttle to the airport at 4:15. Soon I was on my way to the Buffalo airport where, unlike Toronto, there were no crazy lineups or cranky people. I flew United for the first time and was connecting through Newark. The flight were smooth and uneventful and soon I was admiring the sunrise while waiting to board my flight to Orlando!
I was a little sad bypassing the Magical Express as I went to collect my luggage. This was my first ever trip staying offsite as nothing was available on property for my dates that wasn't $400+/n. I settled on the B Resort and Spa in Disney Springs which was nice and clean and a short walk to Disney Springs. I got a great deal of $107/n (plus tax and a $30/n resort fee) on a Priceline Express deal. So probably comparable to a value price wise but with lots of room.
I was really fortunate that a room was ready and I had been upgraded to a pool view! There was also a balcony to enjoy in the evenings but I was literally in the room to sleep and shower only. No time to waste when you are only in Disney for five days!
Once I unpacked and changed, I decided to stroll over to Disney Springs! It was a simply gorgeous day and I thoroughly enjoyed my walk. I was beginning to feel hungry and thought of having lunch at one of the monorail resorts. I decided I would just grab whatever bus was waiting and saw the GF/Poly bus there. It stopped at the Poly first so I was soon walking through the beautiful lobby on my way to Captain Cooks for @ariane37 's favourite, the Pulled Pork Nachos!!
These were so yummy but a huge portion and SO rich. I managed to polish off about 1/2 of them before declaring defeat. As I was walking through the resort grounds, I was lucky to see the launch pulling in and hurried down to the dock . I was on my way for a fabulous day and evening in Magic Kingdom!!
