This is my first trip report and I am excited to start it! It may take a while but I will get it done! You can read my pre trip report here http://forums.wdwmagic.com/showthread.php?t=557246
Let's get started! We left Saturday morning at 7 after my boyfriend and I got off work at UPS. We drove from Louisville, KY to Lake City, FL to rest for the night.
We did have a nice rental van from Budget; it was a 2010 dodge chrysler with satelite radio and plenty of room for napping.
We arrived in Lake City around 7 pm and decided to eat at the Cracker Barrel right around the corner. We ended up having terrible service, but we did get full. We went back to the hotel and fell asleep pretty fast. I was just excited that tomorrow I would be in Disney!:sohappy:
Sunday July 11
We left the hotel at 10:45 am and drove the rest of the way to All Star Sports. We got there around 1 and sure enough our room was ready! I put my birthday pin on right away and my mom and I was even given 2 roses! Whoo hoo!
(this picture was taken at a different time just wanted to throw it in here now)
(i loved the goofy poster!)
We dropped off our luggage and hopped on a bus for Downtown Disney. We was all pretty hungry so we headed for Earl of Sandwich! Troy and I love that place, I got cannonballs! and I forgot what he got...
We shopped at all the stores basically and I picked up a goofy mug for myself. My mom and Troy bought me some goofy items for my birthday since it was only 3 days away! :]
(My mom, brother and I)
After we finished our shopping adventure (by the way, I loved the idea of having your purchases delivered to your hotel, I used it everytime I bought something!) we went back to the hotel for a swim.
(thats us in the middle of the pool by goofy)
After we swam we spent sometime in the arcade using our free 100 points and ate supper in the food court. We fell asleep around 10pm looking forward to our first day at the parks tomorrow! And little did I know what Troy had planned for me

Talked with a lot of the ones I was near and they were Mostly quite nice....and if you are nice and patient you can have a conversation with them as most of the tour members know some english, but if you saw their leader heading to where you are going you had better run or else youll have +100 or more magicly appear in the line ahead of you lol.... After Illuminations on Saturday night we were on the way to the bus to the resort and I saw not one but rather 3 DIFFERENT tour groups from Brazil all straming toward our Allstar sports bus.... I tried to tell my friends that were with me but they thought I was full of crap and they laughed at me like I was an idiot.. a couple of us rushed ahead as fast as we could to the bus. We were able to get onto the 1st bus and were happy to be resting our laurels on seats....our other friends however had a TWO HOUR wait and standing room only ride back to the resort. Needless to say the one friend who did listen to me and accompanied me to the bus was having the last laugh at the others!
